The Top 10 Most Expensive Cars for a Lawyer to Buy


Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Here are 10 most xpensive cars for lawyers to purchase or lease:

1) BMW 760Li ($140,250)

- It should come as no surprise that BMW makes an appearance on this list. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton drives one, so it must be good! This German-engineered sedan offers seating for four and comes powered by a massive twin-turbocharged V12 engine that has six liters of displacement. Its output is rated at an impressive 535 horsepower, which propels the 760Li to 60mph in just 5.4 seconds. The 760Li can also reach an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

2) Bentley Mulsanne ($208,825)

- The Mulsanne name was first used on the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III chassis back in 1965 and now it's being used again on this powerful luxury sedan from Bentley Motors. This super-luxe car starts out strong with its 6.8 liter turbocharged V8 that delivers 505 horsepower! It then adds advanced all-wheel drive for enhanced traction, four-corner air suspension, electronic ride control and a leather-wrapped dash to create a true Grand Tourer. When it goes on sale next year, the Mulsanne will carry a base price of $208,825 in the United States.

3) Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive ($127,290)

- The Panamera name is supposed to indicate that this car offers "Porsche performance" in every aspect of its performance envelope. This four door sedan is also long (19 feet 2 inches), wide (76 inches) and heavy (4377 pounds). It features seating for five passengers with plenty of space for rear seat occupants thanks to its extended wheelbase design. As you might guess from its size and weight, this Porsche is no slouch in the performance department. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8 liter V8 engine that produces 500 horsepower and it will explode to 60mph in just 4.6 seconds when equipped with Porsche's "Sport Chrono" option package.

4) Jaguar XJR ($84,000)

- This full size luxury sedan was originally launched in 1992 but it has been updated several times since then—most recently in 2008. The XJR is an automobile that lets passengers know they are riding in an old school British car because of its distinctive grille design and traditional wire mesh radiator cover. Despite this throwback look, the XJR is anything but old; supercharged 5 liter V8 engine powers the car and it delivers a supremely luxurious driving experience to its occupants.

5) Audi A8L W12 ($121,000)

- William D King observed that the majority of the vehicles on this list consist of super luxury sedans from Europe, but Audi has managed to sneak onto the list with an American-made full size sedan. This vehicle is powered by a 6.3 liter 12 cylinder engine that features both direct injection and twin turbochargers in order to generate an impressive 520 horsepower and 479 ft/lbs of torque. The body of the A8L was developed between Audi's design studios in Ingolstadt and Santa Monica, California (That means it was designed in Germany and then built America).

6) Mercedes CL65 AMG ($129,000)

- Mercedes has a long-standing relationship with AMG and that is why it was easy for them to join forces once again on this super luxury coupe. The CL 65 AMG delivers an amazing 612 horsepower from its massive twin turbocharged V12 engine. This car can go from 0 to 60mph in just 4 seconds flat thanks to its automatic top speed limiter that prevents the car from going over 155 mph. In total this car weighs 5990 pounds which means it's heavy enough for plenty of damage if you crash!

7) Maybach 57S ($416,500)

- When it comes to luxury vehicles, Maybach usually isn't a name that comes up very often. The 57S is a clear exception to that rule as it combines plenty of luxury amenities with some impressive performance technology from Mercedes. This car features an AMG tuned 5.5 liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine under the hood. The powerplant produces a staggering 630 horsepower and 660 ft/lbs of torque which is enough muscle to accelerate the Maybach from 0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds!

8) Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe ($429,900)

- It takes more than six liters of displacement to get on this list and that's why Rolls Royce earns a spot with their drophead version of the Phantom sedan. This vehicle accommodates two rear seat passengers thanks to its classic "dormobile" style folding roof. Under the hood you'll find a massive 6.75 liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 453 horsepower and 531 ft/lbs of torque, but that's just enough power to get this car in motion … not move it at a rapid pace. This vehicle has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph which means it's officially road legal when its roof is up!

9) Maybach 62S ($259,000)

- The previous Maybach on our list was impressive with its 630 horsepower 12 cylinder engine , but the Maybach 62S is even more so thanks to its 500 horsepower V12 powerplant . In spite of providing nearly twenty percent less power than the 57S, this car is actually a few ticks quicker thanks to its weight which starts at over 6000 pounds. This sedan will go from 0-60mph in 5 seconds flat and it won't stop until it reaches a top speed of 155 mph!

10) Mercedes S65 AMG ($221,000)

- There's a good chance the Maybach 62S would have been number ten on our list … but we went with the slightly less powerful Mercedes S 65 AMG. The previous Maybach included a 6.75 liter V12 engine while this one includes a whopping 6.0 liter twin turbocharged V12 engine that produces an astonishing 621 horsepower and 738 ft/lbs of torque. Unfortunately, both cars are electronically limited to 155 mph which means they won't be able to get out of each other’s way when the light turns green.

Conclusion 

We have to give credit where credit is due … Germany has done an amazing job at producing some of the best luxury cars in the world. Six of these ten vehicles are German designed and all but one is made in Germany. As always, feel free to leave your opinion in our comments section.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Create Large Clouds of Vapor from Your Va


Wazzup Pilipinas!?




If you’re an established vaper, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the term cloud-chasing by now. As vaping grew popular among the general public, most vapers started striving to create bigger and better clouds.

Nowadays, there are even competitions in cloud-chasing where you can win amazing prizes for your special skills.

Therefore, you’re surely wondering how you can produce those large smoky clouds of vapor by yourself. Here, you’ll find a handy guide on cloud-chasing you can use to practice your skills and bring them to an impressive level.



Choose a good kit

The first step to making big clouds is to choose a good kit. You can find plenty of pacha mama vape juice with uniquely blended fruit flavors at affordable prices that’ll allow you to practice your cloud-chasing techniques.

Essentially, you’ll want a kit that has variable MOD wattage. With it, you can adjust the output power mode of your device, which allows you to tweak your wattage levels and find the perfect setting. Furthermore, controlling the device's output also allows you to influence flavor and cloud production, which is what you’re aiming for when cloud-chasing.

Choose the sub-ohm quality coils that can handle the extreme heat of the device. The tank also needs to be of glass material that can take the heat and contents of the liquid you’re using. The size of the tank is also essential, especially if you plan on having long vaping sessions.

Additionally, the battery can also play an essential role in how successful your cloud-chasing session is. A high-quality and fully charged battery can withstand even the most demanding actions, which cloud-chasing is.



Use appropriate e-juices

Although vape juices come in all kinds of flavors, this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for when purchasing e-juices for cloud production.

Namely, all e-juices contain two primary ingredients - vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). The ratio of these two ingredients plays a vital role in cloud-chasing, and you can’t afford to ignore it.

For big clouds of vapor, you should aim towards a higher VG ratio. By using any liquid that has a 70% VG base or higher, you’ll be able to produce those big, dense clouds you’ve been dying to see. In our previous experience, it’s best to start with a 70VG/30PG ratio and slowly build your way up since going for a higher VG concentration right from the beginning can result in experiencing several side effects.

Thanks to the global popularity of cloud-chasing and the latest technology, brands have been coming up with more and more e-juice options with high VG content. Not only can you choose from a variety of companies, but now you can choose from many flavors and taste blends too.



Play around with settings

Once you have your vape kit and e-juices, it’s time to start experimenting with how the two work together. Because each vape kit and e-liquid is different, there are no universal settings that’ll work well with all your combinations.

Therefore, it’s important to play around with settings and achieve the most optimal results. Airflow and temperature control are the two key elements you’ll especially want to pay attention to.

For instance, increasing the airflow will quickly convert your e-liquid into vapor. That way, you’ll get most of your liquid transformed into big smoky clouds. If your vapor isn’t coming out hot enough, try increasing the wattage on your kit. Similarly, if your vape starts to get too hot, you can tone down the wattage and try it again.

Remember that finding the perfect settings takes a lot of time and practice. Since this is a trial and error process, you need to play around with your kit and e-liquids if you want to find out how you can get the biggest clouds of vapor.



Perfect your technique

Finally, your vaping and breathing techniques can also affect vapor production.

Before drawing on your vape, you should exhale as much air as possible. This will clear out your lungs from oxygen and will give you a bigger inhale capacity you can use to take in as much vape as possible.

Moreover, posture can also affect how much vape you can inhale. A straight back improves your lung capacity and allows you to take in more vape. As a simple test, compare your clouds when vaping with a straight back and hunched over. You’ll see what difference posture can make.

Exhaling your vapor slowly and steadily is the best technique to achieve consistent vape clouds. That way, you have plenty of control over the vapor, and you can practically do anything you like with it.

Focusing on your breathing and enjoying your vape can be frustrating, but once you start seeing progress in the breathing techniques, it’ll only get better from there. Remember, this is a learning process you can master only by practicing as much as possible, so be patient with yourself.



The bottom line

All in all, a lot goes into making large and dense vape clouds. That being said, the art of cloud-chasing isn’t as simple as many people believe. From finding the suitable mod kit and type of e-juice to learning about different settings and best breathing techniques, there’s certainly a lot you need to know if you want to succeed in cloud vapor production.

10 Best Places To Go For Adventure Trave


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



Most thrill-seekers prefer embarking on a trip to explore the unfamiliar or unknown world, and why not? An adventure is the best way to experience the world while liberating one’s soul and improving their physical and mental state.

In addition, adventure trips push many people out of their comfort zone and place them in unfamiliar situations. This is an excellent way to test one’s mettle and do things differently. You also get to see a small, unknown world from a different perspective

Here you’ll find the ten best places to go for adventure travel.



1. Grand Canyon-United States

Why not start your adventure travel with a trip to one of the world’s natural wonders? Carved out by the Colorado River for over two billion years, the Grand Canyon makes the perfect spot for a river raft ride. Rather than taking a peek from the top, traversing the river is the best way to see all of the details of the great Grand Canyon. Besides the wild water, you’ll get to enjoy side canyons, swimming holes, Puebloan sites, and sandy beaches.

However, always ensure carrying all critical equipment and items whenever traveling to such isolated places. Items, including hiking accessories, medical kits, and subscription boxes, are vital to enhancing your adventure experience and overcoming unforeseen situations. Be mindful of purchasing only the Survival box containing hiking manuals, outdoor gear, emergency supplies, and survival tools, making your trip to Grand Canyon a breeze!


2. Thrihnukagigur Volcano-Iceland

Have you ever dreamed of peering into a volcano? How about taking a plunge into one? It’s something you can do, particularly in Iceland. Commercial tours began in 2012, allowing tourists to delve beneath the surface. Wearing a harness and clipped to a lift, you’ll be slowly lowered into the depths, 120 meters, of Thrihnukagigur Volcano. As you go down, you’ll experience seeing the colors purple, yellow, and red of the uniquely drained magma chamber. Water dripping and singing reveals the volcano’s outstanding acoustics. Its last eruption was 4,000 years ago, making Thrihnukagigur dormant.


3. Himalayas-Nepal

There are many things to see in Nepal, but one of the most breath-taking (and treacherous) places you can visit is the Mt. Everest Base Camp. On a 14-day trek, you’ll hike from Sagarmatha National Park to the shadows of the world’s highest mountain. Only a select few hikers receive permission to sleep at the Everest Base Camp with the summiteers or those hiking to the top of Mt. Everest. But, if you’re only looking to take a selfie, your 5,340-mile hike will take you to the base camp, where you can click pictures, and then hike down to Gorak Shep for a restful night.


4. Costa Rica

Costa Rica is becoming more well-known as an adventure spot. With its 19,730 square miles (about the size of West Virginia), a quarter of the land is protected jungle. You can ride in a hot-air balloon, zip-line down a mountain through the forest, or rock-climb up a mountain in the jungle. The best time of the year to tour is mid-December to April.



5. Antarctica

This adventure trip isn’t for the faint-hearted. Imagine taking a cruise into the Weddell Sea to the east as the ship starts to encroach on crashing icebergs. Are you thrilled yet? Now imagine unpredictable, treacherous conditions, often involving 32-foot seas and more in the Southern Ocean, which is where the Weddell Sea is located. You’re also in for a wildlife treat, such as the baleen whales swimming just under the surface and the penguins and seals sunning themselves on the ice.


6. Cape Town-South Africa

Deserts, mountains, and beaches -- You get it all with South Africa. Cape Town is the place to be if you’re specifically looking for adrenalinw-boosting activities, including hiking, climbing, kitesurfing, paragliding, surfing, and diving. With a thriving community, Cape Town has everything that an ideal adventure location offers. The best time of the year to explore is November to February.


7. Machu Picchu-Peru


Machu Picchu is one of those intriguing places that hid secretly in the misty mountains from the common eye. For the best experience, it’s a good idea to go on foot so that you can see all that the location has to offer. When trekking Machu Picchu, there’s a slow element of surprise followed by increasing excitement. Of course, you don’t have to hike the Inca Trail for the experience of a lifetime. You can always trek the ruins of Choquequirao, the Salkantay Trail, or the Vilcabamba Traverse.


8. Milford Track-New Zealand

If you’re looking for hikes to lakes, waterfalls, ice fields, forests, and places with pioneering history, New Zealand’s Milford Track is the place to go. Part of nine Great Walks, Milford Track is a four-day, 53.5km hike from Lake Te Anau to Milford Sound, which cuts through the splendid Fiordland National Park to the top of Mackinnon Pass (1,154m).



9. Ningaloo-Australia

A trip to Australia wouldn’t be the same without swimming with the turtles or snorkeling in the Ningaloo Reef. Smaller than the Great Barrier Reef but packed with approximately 500 fish species, the Ningaloo Reef in some parts is just 100 meters offshore. This closeness to the beach makes it easy to see the abundance of marine life that lives in the waters.

You can find three of the seven species of the world’s marine turtles’ (green - endangered, hawksbill - critically endangered, and loggerhead -vulnerable) nest, beginning in November and ending in April. But, as turtles swim offshore all year, remember to bring your binoculars.


10. Amazon-Ecuador

Does canoeing and piranha fishing sound like fun? Or, maybe, sleeping in traditional indigenous Cofan Tribe huts and hiking the rainforest for the wildlife sights is an ideal adventure trip for you. Either way, you’re in for an experience of a lifetime in the Amazon in Ecuador. Some indigenous people of Ecuador’s Oriente, such as the Cofan, have mastered the art of community-based ecotourism. Touring with the Cofan is an excellent way to see the Amazon. With their experience with Westerners, they can provide the adventure you’re looking for in a vacation.


Conclusion

Adventure travel is an excellent way to unwind, let loose, and relieve stress. More people are opting to take adventure vacations than ever before. If you’re planning on taking an adventure trip, be sure to plan ahead and book early, as vacations like these are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
