Birds (class Aves) are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) ostrich. They rank as the class of tetrapods with the most living species, at approximately ten thousand, with more than half of these being passerines, sometimes known as perching birds or, less accurately, as songbirds.
The fossil record indicates that birds are the last surviving dinosaurs, having evolved from feathered ancestors within the theropod group of saurischian dinosaurs. True birds first appeared during the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago, and the last common ancestor is estimated to have lived about 95 million years ago. DNA-based evidence finds that birds radiated extensively around the time of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs. Birds in South America survived this event and then migrated to other parts of the world via multiple land bridges while diversifying during periods of global cooling. Primitive bird-like "stem-birds" that lie outside class Aves proper, in the group Avialae, have been found dating back to the mid-Jurassic period. Many of these early stem-birds, such as Archaeopteryx, were not yet capable of fully powered flight, and many retained primitive characteristics like toothy jaws in place of beaks and long bony tails.
The Ford Thunderbird is an automobile that was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005. The Thunderbird created a market niche that eventually became known as the personal luxury car.
The Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. In 1958, the Thunderbird gained a second row of seats. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977, again in 1980, and once again in 1983. Sales were good until the 1990s, when large 2-door coupes became unpopular; production ceased at the end of 1997. In 2002 production of the Thunderbird started again, a revived 2-seat model was launched, which was available through the end of the 2005 model year. From its introduction in 1955 to its phaseout in 2005, Ford produced over 4.4 million Thunderbirds.
Fast N' Loud is a reality styled Discovery Channel TV show featuring Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman from the Dallas, Texas-based Gas Monkey Garage as they search for run-down cars, and with the help of the GMG crew, restore them for profit. Fast N' Loud is unique in the reality genre, since the episodes always incorporate a skit along the theme of the episode.
The show was successful in its first season and now in its seventh season has a spin-off show called Misfit Garage.
Rawlings and Kaufman were invited to participate in a motorcycle build-off with long established bike builders Orange County Choppers, Paul Jr. Designs, and Jesse James. Rawlings and Kaufman came in 2nd to Paul Jr. with James coming in 3rd.
Fast N' Loud is produced for Discovery by Pilgrim Studios while Craig Piligian and Eddie Rohwedder serve as executive producers.

Read the review: http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/24697-guild-s-200-t-bird-review Once upon a time, the original Guild Thunderbird—like its mythical namesake—seemed to only exist in legend. It was crazy rare, and probably most familiar to record collectors who gazed upon the gatefold of Muddy Waters’ ’68 Electric Mud. My own fascination with the instrument was born admiring Zal Yanovsky in old Lovin’ Spoonful video clips and snapshots of Jorma Kaukonen, who allegedly used a Thunderbird to record Jefferson Airplane’s masterpiece, Surrealistic Pillow. Those artifacts aside, there wasn’t a lot of information out there for a curious young guitar archeologist. What was this odd Frankenstein fusion of Fender Jaguar and Gibson SG? And how could a Guild—this wasn’t the product of some fly-by...

The T-Birds
Now I-I-I-I, See them comin', yeah
They wanna see me down but i wont stop
they want me in the ground man i wont stop
till im dead man i wont stop
I-I-I-I, See them comin', comin'
They wanna see me down but i wont stop
they want me in the ground man i wont stop
till im dead man i wont stop
nooo
I've grown to no sucesses and easy coming
climbing higher as i raise its hard to see the summit
These other dudes hate the haters but for me its nothin
I know im great im stayin' positive through weak
asumptions.
They just told me sucess will never just come
but to me i keep grinding cause i be second to none.
I'm that angry little kid cause his father left both
his sons.
and i do it for my place cause i be destined for one.
I'm boxing in the ring got my mind set on one thing,
the top and when im here you are not saying a thing.
this is my spot, so call me the underdog or the rookie
or the kid who stands up for the people who have been
bullied
together we march stronger,
cause even when we see ground we get back up cause
we're used to being beat down.
just know that you messing with me is silly,
but it's hard when you're pressured to make a milli.
It's hard trying to redeem this asian place up in the
industry,
the past is history and this racism sickens me
and i don't need punchlines or similies or swear words
to show you no rapper will ever freak with me
i'm never getting scars from your hurting ways
sticks and stones break bones i'm an invertabrae
even when they're expecting me to give
up i know my legacy will live, ya hear me
Now I-I-I-I, See them comin', yeah
They wanna see me down but i wont stop
they want me in the ground man i wont stop
till im dead man i wont stop
I-I-I-I, See them comin', comin'
They wanna see me down but i wont stop
they want me in the ground man i wont stop
till im dead man i wont stop
