Take in a little Austin history and still get in a good game of golf at two of Austin's oldest' courses: The nine-hole Hancock Park Golf Course (811 East 41st St) was built in 1899, and the Lion's Municipal Golf Course (2901 Enfield Rd) is the second-oldest course in Austin, built in 1928. Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Tom Kite, and Ben Crenshaw (Kite and Crenshaw are both UT grads) have all played at Lion's, which covers just 6,001 yards. The engine separated the two cars as the Lotus Cortina came equipped with the newly designed 1,558 cc twin-cam four-cylinder engine. With 300 brake horsepower in a small coupe, the 300ZX was quick thanks to its V6 engine. Cut in half lengthwise and scrap out seed with a small spoon; discard. Remove with slotted spoon; plunge immediately into bowl of cold water for another 10 seconds. Remove cucumber peels with paring knife or vegetable peeler. We'll continue with the popular vegetable that's actually a fruit -- the tomato -- in the next section. Next to peeling, the other maddening tomato preparation that most recipes call for is seeding.

Apparently, $465 million will finance a lot of research. If the Model S needs to be juiced-up mid-trip, a network of Tesla-specific Supercharger stations will be operated by solar technology, managed by SolarCity (which is another Elon Musk project), providing free unlimited charging to Tesla owners. The Model S comes with everything necessary to power up at a public EV charging station, a 240v home charging station, or, if you prefer, a plain old 120v wall outlet in your garage -- although it'll be just a bit slower. Automobile Magazine's editors were shocked by its performance and ultimately named the Model S the 2013 Automobile of the Year. Robert Cumberford, Automobile Magazine's resident design expert, explained that the subtlety of the exterior gracefully disguises a very aerodynamic profile. The most noteworthy thing about the exterior might be the flush mounted, pop-out door handles, because you don't even notice them until you approach the car, reach toward the door and the handle simply appears.
