SOTW: Recuva

We all have done it, deleted something that we didn’t want to delete. Sometimes we get lucky and it’s still in our recycle bin but that is not always the case. Recuva is here to save the day though.

Recuva can restore files that you have removed from your recycle bin but it doesn’t stop there. Recuva can restore files from your camera memory card or even from your MP3 player. It can also restore files that were deleted due to a virus, a bug or a system crash.

Don’t lose hope, you may me able to recover your files! Give recuva a try, it’s free so what do you have to lose?

COTW: 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

1970 Cadillac Deville

Engine location: Front, longitudinal
Displacement: 471.93 cubic inches
Engine type: V8, 8 cylinder
Power: 228 HP @ 4400 RPM
Torque: 525 lbs/ft @ 3,000 rpm
Fuel system: Carburettor
Turn circle: 43 Feet
Weight: 4,640.7 pounds
Wheelbase: 10.83 ft
Overall length: 18.8 ft
Overall width: 6.66 ft
Ground clearance: 5.9 inches

The car that Boss Hogg drove, the juggernaut and the last of the classic Cadillacs. What I really love about this car is the sheer size of it and the fact that even though it is nearly 20 feet long it’s only a two door. Lets compare some of the specs of this car with my admittedly small car, a Mazda Miata. The turning circle on this beast is a whopping 43 feet, that is a full 13 feet greater than my car. My car is 155.3 inches long, this behemoth is 225.6 inches long. I really wish I could find a measurement of the hood, doors and trunk but I didn’t have any luck doing so. This car is so big that you could live in it, it would be like driving around in your living room.

I would totally pimp one of these. I can just imagine driving around on a nice summer day with the top down with about 9 of my closest friends in the car with me, all of us comfortable :) I can’t decide what color scheme I would want. I have three choices: Triple white (white interior, top and exterior) like Boss Hogg’s, white exterior with a red top and red interior or black exterior with a black top and red interior.

BOTW: Tyra Banks

I decided it was time for a bit of color for the babe of the week. We have had a ton of blonds as one of our readers pointed out so I thought it was time to mix it up a bit. Tyra is definitely worthy of being a babe of the week, she is one very pretty woman and I would be remiss to not at least make mention of those glorious breasts. On a side note, in the second picture below, that is a ten million dollar bra that she is wearing.
