2009-02-26T00:15:00.000-08:00

Today, John wants the 16943 TV. This TV can display both Widescreen and Fullscreen video, but not in the way of your regular TV. This TV is made to get rid of the black lines that TV's normally place around the video because the screen is not made for both formats. The TV gets its name from both aspect ratios, 16:9 and 4:3. The screen is only in concept form as of right now, but it is still cool and who wouldn't want a concept. I've tried to shy away from posting more TV's but I saw this one and really wanted it. With TV's in every room nowadays, theres always room for more!

Today, John wants the all new 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Guard Model. John loves his Mercedes' and has been anticipating the new E-Class for a while. 2010 is the year that Mercedes finally puts out a newly designed E-Class. In addition to the normal line up of E-Classes, Mercedes will also be adding a Guard Model to provide the utmost securty to the people inside.

The Guard model adds armoring to the luxury ride for a complete package of safety and comfort. The E-Class guard model is available in the W212 E-Class lineup and is encased in a protective cocoon made of special steel and all-around polycarbonate glaze. This protective system can withstand a .44 Magnum firearm and DM51 hand-grenade.

To keep the speed and agility of the W212 E-Class lineup, as the protective system ads extra weight, Mercedes has duly adapted the AIRMATIC suspension and brakes. The E-Class also rolls on 17-inch runflat tires with three engine options; the E350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the E500 and the E350.

The E-Class guard protection system, along with the vehicle, can be ordered starting in April at the cost of $58,000. Let them try to rob me now! haha!
