What Auto Is This? This Not-a-Monza Had A Blazing Name But ...

This ?Not-a-Monza was this car companies answer to the early 1970?s OPEC Oil Embargo. This sporty model was frugal but not very sporty. It?s special ?Disco Ball? graphics fit perfect with its very Huggy Bear velour interior. This special edition was only sold for two years 1979-1980.

?The engine of choice was the burly but rough Smogified 3.8 liter V6. Known as the ?Odd Firing??V6?it could trace its root back to the early 1960?s. Based on the much insulted Chevy Vega this car maker had a hard time convincing buyers to shell out premium Champagne bucks on a?Boones Farm?car. When ordered in this special edition you could only get three colors.

?Silver, red or white. Despite its Vega roots it proved to be a not to bad car. Room was plenty with the hatchback and you could get a 5 speed transmission to give you the sporty feel. It was replaced in 1980 by an even worse car. Hard to imagine?? Even with its flame like name this GM debacle would end up in the Ash Heap of American Automotive history. What Auto Is This?

Little League raffles AR-15 rifle to raise money

A Little League in Illinois is raffling off an AR-15 military-style assault rifle to raise money for its kids.

The Atwood-Hammond Little League partnered with the local armory for the raffle, which launched Tuesday. "It has been going gangbusters," Charidy Butcher, co-owner of the Atwood Armory, told WAND-TV. ?My phone has been ringing nonstop since 4:30 this morning. It?s just been crazy."

Butcher said she's gotten calls from people as far away as Washington state wanting to enter the June 29 drawing. A ticket costs $20.

"It?s for a good cause, for the kids, and we?re just trying to raise as much money as we can," she said. "Their fundraiser last year only raised $10.?

The winner of the gun?a Rock River Arms AR-15?will have to go through a standard background check, Butcher added. The rifle is similar to the one used in the Dec. 14 shootings in Newtown, Conn., where 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

According to Atwood-Hammond Little League commissioner Steven McClain, the league is in desperate need of new equipment. "When you don't have enough stuff to even practice with, it's hard to run a team," McClain told WAND-TV.

It's not the first gun fundraiser for the Atwood Armory. Earlier this month, the shop raised more than $7,000 for a cancer charity with a similar raffle.

V-Moda Vamp Verza: The Fanciest Audio Accessory for Your Phone

Last Year, V-Moda made a specially designed headphone amp/DAC case for the iPhone. It was awesome, but way too expensive for what it did. V-Moda's new Vamp Verza is an infinitely more flexible product you can use with iPhones and Android phones and even your computer—but it might fall flat for exactly the same reason its predecessor did.
