"I'm going to Miami." That was

the chorus line for one

of WillSmith's songs, but it

doesn't apply to me because I

have already been there.

And if you haven't, you

definitely should take a visit,

because there is no place in

the world like the South

Beach of Miami.

Miami is one of the state's – and the world’s – most popular vacation spots. Though destinations often are said to offer something for everyone, the Miami area offers multiple enticements for everyone: The trendy nightlife of South Beach, bejeweled by the eye candy of the Art Deco district. The bustle of Calle Ocho and the highly caffeinated energy of Little Havana.

The plush hotels of Miami Beach and the historic hideaways of Coral Gables. Seemingly endless shopping opportunities in modern, sprawling malls and the quiet, personal attention

The lures of deep-sea fishing and golf and tennis. Major league football, basketball, hockey and baseball. Boat shows and auto racing. Art festivals and outdoor food and wine extravaganzas. An international airport and the world’s busiest cruise port. The Miami area offers all of this – and so much more… - visitflorida.com

offered by the family-owned shops of Coconut Grove and many other corners of the region.

This concept hybrid 2+2 coupe is designed to

push the limits of style, performance and

technology. It combines sweeping lines with

dynamic angles to create a sleek silhouette

wrapped around a driver-focused interior.

As Jenson said:

“I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or

six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me

a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast

enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.”

Secret to Success – Rob Dahm

Rob Dahm went from mowing

lawns to fixing neighbors

computers and ultimately built

up a 7 figure empire with

Computer Works, Inc. by

providing IT solutions and

managed services for small

businesses. Although Rob is fairly

well known in the online

community for his Youtube

videos, he was also featured on a

national TV show. The TV show

never worked out but it had no

impact on his standing. In his

story, Rob discusses how a little

bit of risk, being realistic, and

passionate are the keys to his

success at the young age of 29.

What does Rob Dahm do?

I started Computer Works when I

was 16 unofficially by fixing

neighbors’ computers and

looking back, I was probably

doing more damage to some of

those computers than I was

doing good but I was solving

their problems. The moment I

turned 18, I signed a rental for a

little 500-square foot office

space and had no idea how I was

going to pay for it. It was $500 a

month and at that time, that was

huge money and I said, “You

know what, I’m going to be able

to do this.”

What does a small little town

like yours think of you and

your bright yellow Diablo?

Ever since I bought that Lamborghini, that has been probably the best purchase I’ve ever made in

my life. It validates my second grade dream of owning a Lamborghini because it’s going for what

you want. It rubs off on other people and I’ve had two different clients at a client meeting, they

were like, “We’re going with you because you own a Lamborghini so you know what you’re

doing.” That has been a very rewarding experience altogether.

Some of the things I’ve been focusing on lately is when you buy a car like that, people love to

relate to you but then some just want to see you fail. I have a lot of friends or acquaintances that

didn’t like that big jump in my life that put myself in a different category in a lot of respects so I

did actually lose quite a few friends over that one.

• Rich playboys eager for some spirited

supercar driving in the United Arab Emirate

of Dubai might want to reconsider pushing

their expensive automotive toys into triple

digit speeds. The Dubai police are well-

equipped to catch up. Already famous for

having Ferrari and Lamborghini police cars,

Dubai recently added a few more supercars

to its fleet, including an Aston Martin One-

77, a Mercedes-Benz SLS and a Bentley

Continental GT. Officers who drive the cars

have to receive special training to learn how

to handle them safely. (The Kjaleej Times)

• Texas is truck country, and Chevrolet has

announced that it will offer a Texas Edition of

the 2014 Silverado. It won’t be the first Texas-

themed truck from Chevy, but in a state where

truck sales are as much a cultural

phenomenon as an economic one, the line

makes sense. Very similar to the Custom Sport

model that will be available in other states,

the Texas Edition Silverado will include special

badging, 20-inch wheels, body-colored mirrors

and door handles, a tow package and a locking

rear differential. But wearing Lone Star

badging comes at a price: about $2,000, give

or take, depending upon the base trim level of

the truck that’s being Tex-

ified.(Pickuptrucks.com)

• Subaru is making a move to increase production

at its Lafayette, Ind., plant. After five straight years

of record sales in America, the Japanese

automaker invested $400 million into the plant to

expand production from 200,000 to a planned

300,000 vehicles per year. The company said it

would need to hire 900 workers to build Imprezas.

The expansion is expected to begin producing

more cars by 2016. (Automotive News)

• The name Dean Jeffries may not be all

that familiar, but many people will recall

the flamboyantly customized 1966

Pontiac GTO the Monkees drove on

their television show. Jeffries, who built

and painted the Monkeemobile and a

lot of other custom cars, died Sunday at

the age of 80. Along with stunt driving in

several movies, Mr. Jeffries’ credits

include the first Shelby Cobra paint job,

the script on James Dean’s Porsche 550

Spyder, the customized Chrysler

Imperial from the “Green Hornet”

television series and a number of dune

buggies and concept cars. (Hemmings)

RANGE ROVER

EVOQUE

CONVERTIBLE

To date the Range Rover

Evoque has been honored

with over 90 international

awards. This global success

has spawned a new concept

with an interesting twist: a

premium convertible SUV.

We call it the Range Rover

Evoque Convertible Concept.

LAND ROVER DC100

In a bold reimagining of the

iconic Defender, Land Rover

was proud to debut the

potential Defender of the

Future at the Frankfurt Motor

Show—the Land Rover

DC100 Concept Vehicle.

LAND ROVER DC100

EXPEDITION

An expedition-ready version

of the Land Rover DC100

concept vehicle is helping to

shape the future of the iconic

Defender line. Outfitted with

an air-intake snorkel for

wading, roof mounted

equipment rack, and an

integrated winch; this study

in design is well equipped to

explore the possibility of

returning the Defender to the

U.S. market.

The Children’s Trust’s ‘The Supercar’ Event -by Gtspirit.com

The latest Supercar Event in Britain is set to

kick off on Saturday the 15th of June and will

play host to a selection of supercars while

also supporting The Children’s Trust.

This year will mark the seventh year for the

supercar event which provides entertainment

for people of all ages by allowing ticket

holders to drool over a selection of insane

supercars while also offering passenger rides

in the event’s most potent machinery.

The event will take place at Dunsfold Park,

better known as the home of the Top Gear

Test Track and will run through the weekend

of the 15th of June.

During the event, over 500 sports cars

and classic cars will be on display with

some of the confirmed modern day

supercars including a Lexus LFA,

McLaren MP4-12C coupe and 12C

Spider, Pagani Zonda and even a

Koenigsegg or two.

Money raised during The Supercar

Event will go straight to The

Children’s Trust, a national charity that

provides care, education and therapy

for children with multiple disabilities

and complex health needs while also

providing rehab to children with

acquired bran injuries.

The Genius of

Tesla

Batteries aren’t good enough, charging stations are too

far apart, and there aren’t enough mechanics and

dealers. Tesla is trying to create this infrastructure by

itself, which means everything’s moving more slowly

than it could. If the entire car business worked together

to improve this stuff, batteries and charging

infrastructure would improve at a faster pace.

So, there you go: Tesla wants

to be just like Apple. That’s

not a bad goal—Apple has

done quite well for itself. But

what few in the tech press

have noticed is that Musk

seems to have another tech

titan in mind: Google. Musk

knows that there’s a single,

towering problem in the

electric car business: a lack of

infrastructure.
