Alligator Motorcycle
The number 36 is significant as it was the number that donned the Formula 1 Eagle which won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, a first for an American built car and driver/constructor and an achievement that has not been duplicated yet. Now the first 36 ALLIGATORS will commemorate and bear the color of the car that made F1 history. With the ALLIGATOR motorcycles being designed and built in the very same facility as the Formula 1 car.

Motor Vehicle Theft
Motor Vehicle Theft also called Grand Theft Auto is a big business. Nationwide in the US in 2005, there were an estimated 1.2 million motor vehicle thefts estimated at $7.6 billion. Most frequently stolen vehicles in th U.S. include Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Acura Integra, Jeep Cherokee and Cadillac Escalade.
Most Common used tools
- Slide hammer puller to break into the door locks and the cylinder lock.
- Multimeters or a test light to find the source of the battery
- Spare wires and/or a screwdriver to connect the battery source to the ignition and starter wires
- Slim Jim which slips between the car window and car frame and to open the lock behind the window.
- Many keyless ignition/lock cars have weak or no cryptographic protection of the unlock signal. Proof-of-concept "thefts" of top-of-the-line luxury cars have been demonstrated by academic researchers using commercially available tools such as RFID microreaders.
There are various methods of prevention to reduce the likelihood of a vehicle getting stolen.
- Immobilisers, allowing the vehicle to start only if a key containing the correct chip is present in the ignition.
- Car alarm systems that are triggered if a breaking and entry into the vehicle occurs
- Microdot identification tags which allow individual parts of a vehicle to be identified
- Killswitch circuits are designed to frustrate or slow down the efforts of a determined car thief. Killswitches are often located between crucial parts of the starting system, between the battery source and the coil, or the fuel pump. A car cannot start without first flipping these killswitches to closed position. Savvy car owners hide these killswitches in obscured areas, under the dashboard, beneath the seat, behind a chair, etc.
- Signage on windows warning of the presence of other deterrents, sometimes in absence of the actual deterrents.
- VIN etching The vehicles VIN number is put on parts most stolen and sold. (Hood,Fenders,Doors,Window,Bumpers,and Tailgate/Liftgate/Trunk)

1,000 HP 1970 Chevelle DIESEL
Pontiac Fiero GT
The Pontiac Fiero a sports car that was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1984 to 1988. The Fiero meaning "proud" in Italian. The Fiero was a two-seater mid engined car. The first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S. manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as plastic body panels were radical for its time. The Fiero was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero was the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500. 370,168 Fieros were produced in the five years.
Already selling the Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors management and accountants were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car. But in 1979, during the oil crisis, management saw a market opportunity for a fuel-efficient sporty commuter car, and design work on the Fiero commenced. To this end, it was fitted with a fuel efficient version of GM's 2.5 L four-cylinder engine capable of 27 mpg in the city and 40 mpg highway. A mid-engine layout was chosen as a way to reduce both aerodynamic drag and vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, and also for its handling, traction, and braking benefits. The sports car potential of the mid-engine layout was not fully realized when the Fiero debuted. In line with its market position, the tires, brakes, and some suspension components were carried over from other GM cars
By 1985, the oil crisis was a thing of the past and demand developed for a Fiero having more engine power and better sports car performance. Pontiac responded by introducing the GT model which included upgraded suspension tuning, wider tires, and a 143 horsepower V6 engine 43 horsepower more than the base four-cylinder. In 1986, the GT model was restyled to look even more sleek. Officially, production ended because of an internal GM forecast of insufficient future profits due to an expected decrease in overall demand for two-seater sports cars, however this decision was commensurate with heavy media coverage of Fiero engine fires. GM's forecast may have been a year premature, as the actual sales in 1988 were lower than prior years but still double the forecast.

Eleventh Generation Ford Thunderbird 2002-2005
Ford introduced a new Thunderbird for 2002. Returning to the original formula for the Thunderbird, the latest version had a two-seat coupe/convertible layout like the first-generation Thunderbird and retrofuturistic styling to match. The eleventh generation Thunderbird plant as the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type. Though the Thunderbird's exterior styling was very much unique relative to its platform mates, the interior, particularly the appearance of the dash area, instrument panel, and steering wheel, was very similar to that of the Lincoln LS. The sole engine of the Thunderbird was a Jaguar-designed AJ-30 3.9 L DOHC V8 making 252 horsepower and 267 lb·ft of torque.
