Seatbelt Pretensioners – A safety device that pre-emptively tightens the seatbelt during a frontal impact to prevent the passenger from jerking forward. The system then gradually releases the belt tension to lessen the impact forces transferred to the occupant.
Sports Car – a very fast vehicle constructed for performance driving. More often it is rear-wheel drive, the car has two seats and two doors, accelerates briskly, brakes sharply, steers precisely and maneuvers well.
Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) – this is a kind of vehicle similar to a station wagon, but built on a light-truck chassis. Usually goes with four-wheel drive for both the on- or off-road driving and it offers some possibility to be used as an off-road vehicle.

My favorite Song:)

My favorite Movie:)

My favorite movie is "Grown Ups" with Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Chris Rock.In 1978, five friends win their junior high basketball championship. During the celebration, their coach "Buzzer" encourages them to live their lives in a similar way to how they played the game.When they learn that their coach has died, they all return to New England with their families for the funeral. Lenny rents the lake house for the 4th of July weekend for his friends to stay at, but Lenny can't stay for the whole weekend because Roxanne has a fashion show in Milan. While at the lake house, Lenny is annoyed that their kids would rather play video games than spend time outdoors, so he and the others force their kids to spend more time outside while at the house.
Toyota Hilux 2011 4x2

La Toyota Hilux es una camioneta mediana producida por el fabricante japonés de vehículos Toyota en diversas partes del mundo.
Toyota Hilux 2005-2008.La Toyota Hilux y la Toyota Tacoma son una serie de camionetas compactas producidas y comercializados por Toyota Motor Corporation. El nombre Hilux fue vendido junto con el Stout en 1969, y se mantiene en uso en todo el mundo. En América del Norte, el nombre Hilux se retiró brevemente en 1976 en favor de camiones, camiones con platon(pick up) o de camiones compactos, hasta que fue cambiado el nombre de Tacoma en 1995. Un paquete de opciones populares, SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed), también se convirtió en sinónimo de la camioneta, a pesar de que el paquete opcional también fue utilizado en otros modelos de Toyota. En 1984, el Trekker, la versión de la camioneta Hilux, se cambió a la 4Runner en Australia y América del Norte, y como la Hilux Surf en Japón. La 4Runner es ahora un SUV, y los modelos más recientes no se parecen a la Tacoma.
