Grand Touring car created by Subaru and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Known for its "window in a window" this car was quite advanced for the day and featured a flat 6 engine, AWD, drag coefficient of .29 and top speed of 154 mph. Production of it and many other japanese HiPo cars ended in the late nineties. With only 25,000 made worldwide its also somewhat rare. SVX only had three real problems...crap transmissions, slushbox only and weight. If these problems were solved It could have rivaled some of the best of the time.

Get the Alcyone SVX mug.Starting in Egypt, alchemists were the predecessor to the modern chemist. Though they are largely discredited by the scientific community due to the fact that many included religion and the occult to 'fill in the blanks', they made great strides in scientific research, sometimes by accident (i.e. discovery of gunpowder trying to find immortality). After egypt, the next earliest is probably in China, where gunpowder was discovered. Many famous physicists were alchemistds, such as Isaac Newton. Today there are still alchemists, though they practice (usually) practical alchemy. This is the practice of alchemy that actually has a purpose, and the study and reproducion o=f ancient alchemical experiments, usually involving finding out both how the experiments were beleived to work by ancient alchemists, and how they work in terms of current chemists, and whether there is any connection.
One practical alchemy experiment is the extraction of salt from rosemary (popular experiment by some alchemist on the web), while other alchemy experiments include the accidental discovery of gunpowder in China.

Get the alchohol enthusiast mug.In a nutshell, alchemy was "chemistry" before the periodic table. It was believed that combining the four basic properties (earth, fire, air, and water) in certain ratios could produce iron, gold, booze, and even life itself. Alchemy was no longer practiced after LaVosier's studies and the publishing of the Periodic Table of Elements.
