Sao Paulo urban art
In Sao Paulo, Brazil it often seems like there isn't a wall left that is not marked with grafitti. Residents have found that one way to discourage this vandalism is to have there wall painted with murals and artistic scenes. It is usually done with spay paint. Here are some examples from a wall in the neghborhood of Sao Miguel.
Jeep JK at SEMA 2007
All the new Wrangler products rolled out at the the 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. Engine swaps included V8 Hemi's as well as 3L CRD engines.
I'm a fan of the new "Freedom Top" design with removable sections above the driver and front passenger.
Also, from the guys at Jalopnik.com:
"While at the Paris Auto Show at the beginning of the month, Spinn and I walked past the Chrysler Group display and as we passed the four-door Wrangler Unlimited, we both made a startling realization -- the 4x4 with more off-road lineage than a Hummer could ever have totally has the potential to be a Hummer killer. We even remarked as much to an auto writer with one of the local Detroit dailies later that evening, and we received the same agreement. Now what you have before you is obvs not the standard, it's actually a Rubicon model featuring some editions by the Jeep/Truck engineering-design build shops, a team run by 300C/Charger/Magnum design chief and all-around good sport Ralph Gilles. His team put together a 4-door 4x4 with an interior featuring custom Katzkin leather seating and powered it with a 3.0L CRD diesel with some Tru-Lok-equipped Dana 44 axles supporting the weight. A performance suspension lift gives it the clearance to take on a set of 35-inch BFG (why yes, there're all sorts of acronym-busters for that one) Mud Terrain tires mounted on Custom 18-inch aluminum wheels supplied by Taneisya. The external toys also include a Warn 9.5ti winch mounted on American Expedition Vehicles (Who woulda thunk there'd be an AEV connection here, right?) new front bumper. And yes, it does look like a billion and a half bucks sprayed in that Rolex Silver paint -- and you probably will only feel for maybe a split second like you're driving in a G500 look-alike. – Ray Wert"
