Ask Imagine: Ideas for the Perfect Proposal?

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I am a reader of your blog and a fan.  I am about to propose to my girlfriend of 2 years, and have been researching ideas for how to pop the question.  I have considered renting a luxury car, or maybe a private yacht for a day to surprise her.  What awesome proposals have you helped with in the past, and what do you recommend?  Any tips would be helpful.
 

Thanks,
Adam, Miami

Ask Imagine: We Like to Party

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I love your blog and your style!  I will be jetting down to South Beach for Halloween with a group of friends to hit the scene.  Can you tell us what the current hot spots are, nightclubs and where the celebs frequent?  We really want to get hype and go all out this year and money is not an issue.
 

 

Thanks,

Escalades and Private Jets Make Good Movies!

Recently I watched the movie ‘From Paris With Love’, where John Travolta played a sort of Chuck Norris action hero, as character ‘Charlie Wax’.  What is up with substance words, it forces me to think of Angelina Jolie’s character ‘Salt’.  Back to the film, even with a semi-realistic plot, it was certainly enhanced with the Cadillac Escalade and private jet appearances!

Yes, it was the cliché government ops versus foreign spies and acts of terrorism, but in its defense it had all the fun perks and components we all love (I assume I am not alone).  These included secret surveillance bugs planted in important offices, unexpected spy relationships and covers, and of course, luxury jet charters and Escalade rentals for the badass government undercover dudes.  Those dudes would be Travolta (Wax) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Reese).

Hello Kyle,

Thank you for being a fan of our website and blog, we appreciate that.  We also appreciate that you have chosen us for advice on a luxury Mansion rental Miami! 

I will recommend either Pinetree Drive Mediterranean mansion, or a luxury hotel condo rental at the W Hotel South Beach or Setai South Beach.  Both luxury hotels Miami offer 2 bedroom and 4 bedroom condos, and are ideally located on the strip where the best shopping, international dining and beaches are.

Porsche 911 GT3 Supercar Moonlights as Uhaul

As auto buffs, we love all luxury and exotic cars, like the Porsche 911 GT3.  It is ideal for many occasions, like a scenic drive down Ocean Avenue in South Florida, a night out on the town, a memorable date, a business event or a moving vehicle.  Wait, what?

Yep, apparently this proud Porsche owner has decided that his luxury car can perform Porsche 911 GT3 Supercarany task with that much power, even haul his bicycle and belongings around for what appears to be a move.  Well, I suppose the Porsche 911 GT3 luxury car does feature a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 435 horses.  And with rear-wheel drive and the ability to go from 0-60 in approximately 4 seconds flat, I guess that hauling a small trailer is not going to be a problem for this beast.

Alas, I know I am not the only gearhead who sees something wrong with this picture.  Actually, the longer I do look at this picture, it becomes increasingly blurry due in part to my tears of laughter.  Somehow this photo screams “wealthy college kid at semester break”, I bet the insurance company would love to see this!  I do not think this act of insanity would have occurred with a Bugatti Veyron, just saying.

I think I would have strapped the bike to the trailer, to avoid desecrating my Porsche’s paintjob.  Whoever this rather quirky Porsche owner is, I hope they know that they have made my day (I found the photo on ‘thatwillbuffout.com’, a site I love, thanks guys!)

 

Take a peek at our luxury Porsche rentals and other exotic car rentals Florida on your way out!  (If you intend to transform them into high-end Uhauls, we need to discuss the matter first).

China Unveils 3D Express Coach, Welcome to the Future!

When I first glimpsed this photo online, I felt the thrill that small children feel when they get a new idea that they shouldn’t, which must have been how the designer felt when he came up with it! This is so crazy, so innovative, and so logical that it may actually work to solve China’s overpopulation crisis.  What is it?  Glad you asked.3D Express Coach China

Meet the ‘3D Express Coach’, and while I cannot say that the branding efforts are impressive, the idea certainly is!  It is a bus that just runs over cars on the streets.  The 3D Express Coach is like a train, only without the additional space wasted on tracks.  It runs on svelte tracks that are positioned as part of the road, like guardrails.  It is a hoverbus!  Imagine the commute times slashed by avoiding traffic issues!  No one with any brains would drive in the city again, leading to not only a more functional city, but also a greener one!  Oh the possibilities.

2010 Monaco Yacht Show Promotes Environmental Awareness

This year marked the 20th Monaco Yacht Show, and it was a decidedly green tie affair!  Yes, luxury yachts and megayachts whisking their wealthy owners or yacht charter guests to the world’s most beautiful places, guzzling massive amounts of fuel along the way, are potentially sailing for greener pastures…er…seas.

The 2010 Monaco Yacht Show kicked off September 22nd with approximately 28,000 guests from the luxury yacht industry and Monaco business world squeezed into the area.  Around 100 superyachts were present on opening day, poised on the water to impress.  Issues like deforestation and carbon footprints will be highlighted and prioritized, which is wonderful with a larger crowd to absorb the message and new technologies!

The coveted Yacht Show Monaco is joining forces with the Foundation Prince Albert II to attack environmental hazards and bring awareness to them.  During the event, super yachts from around the world will converge on the scenic Riviera.  The Riviera is a small section that is actively working to reduce the carbon footprints emitted by the yachts that frequent its waters.
 

2010 Monacco Yacht ShowAccording to Luc Khaldoun, Commercial Director Europe from Fraser Yachts,

"Motivation is coming from all sides and some owners are really deeply concerned by environmental issues, particularly the more technically-minded owners."
 It is cool that increased carbon-offsetting has been seen among participants at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show.  The idea of offsetting is that a yacht’s greenhouse gas emissions are quantified and then balanced by an equal amount of emission reductions.  These reductions come from carefully scrutinized green energy projects around the world.

Newly launched megayacht ‘Exuma’ is making some green with envy, as it is the first of a new series of Vitruvius motor yachts built by Italy’s Pichiotti and Perini Navi and green, yet cutting edge.   It is a 50-foot yacht capable of accommodating ten guests and eight crewmembers, with a light aluminum hull designed to slash fuel consumption.  It is rumored that the Exuma yacht is designed to function with fuel efficiency similar to sail boats.  Very cool!

Take time out to sink your eyes into our fleet of luxury charter yachts Miami and South Beach on your way out!

Ask Imagine: Labor Day Residence Rental Miami

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I will be in Miami for a week to celebrate Labor Day with a group of friends.  I do not think a traditional luxury hotel will suffice, and would prefer a residence rental Miami style to ensure that all of my guests are comfortable.  What luxury hotel also offers residence or condo rentals?

  I would also prefer that it be located within proximity of South Beach’s nightclubs, restaurants, shopping and hot spots. 
 

 

Thanks,

Scott, Manhattan
