The Lamborghini Miura was the world's first true mass-production, mid-engine super car when it was introduced for 1966. It was a striking blend, offering the styling and mechanical configuration of the era's wildest, all-out endurance-racing machines, all rolled into a package that was reasonably streetable.But for all the Miura's obvious race-car underpinnings, Lamborghini never fielded a competition version of the car. Of course, it wasn't that the idea of putting its pioneering exotic on the track hadn't occurred to anyone. Plenty of people within the company hoped they'd eventually be called on to prepare a Miura for such use.Foremost among those competition proponents was Lamborghini's chief...

They finally got it right. The first time I saw a Honda was in a hotel parking lot. There in the sun was a miniature car, bright red, gleaming with chrome and polished like a Rolls Royce in drag. I couldn't believe the quality of paint compared to the American equivalent a la Falcon, Chevy II and Plymouth Dusters. A week of dedicated browsing turned up a 1979 Honda Civic Coupe five speed with the celebrated CVCC engine. Zero to sixty in nine seconds and thirty-five miles-per-gallon to boot. The engine purred like a sewing machine and revved to seven thousand RPM. Of course it was RED and it went 100K miles without repair.I had been considering replacing my eleven-year-old Honda Accord Coupe that...

Since the first limousines appear, within the automotive development in the end of XIX century and beginning of XX, that they have been used for special events (as public appearances) or extraordinary people (such as nation-state presidents).

This improvements or changes still seems to point at limousines as special, luxurious, extraordinary vehicles used for extraordinary events. However maybe more important than the changes in the cars or the chauffeurs, are the changes in the conception of the...

Many are wondering that if a hybrid power plant can be included into existing models, why they cant be used in hybrid sports cars as well. One such innovation, constructed by a team of high schoolers built a diesel-electric hybrid sports car for under $20,000 using a diesel power plant to push the cars back wheels, while using a 200-amp electric motor to run the front drive system. Even with the diesel operating more often than the electric plant, the vehicle brags about 50 miles per gallon. Although this type of vehicle may not win any awards for environmental savings, the idea of creating a performance sports car with hybrid technology may be boosted when engineers figure out how to use a gas...

It always pays to do a little research. This is equally true in all aspects of one's life, from schools, to personal and professional relationships, to holidays, let alone making big purchases. Over a decade ago, as I was struggling to make some important decision (these things don't come easy to me, I struggle, I break my head, I get sick etc.) a friend of mine told me "You don't have enough information. Find out more about each of your options, than it will be much easier to decide what you want and to know which option is really best." This advice served me well over the years. Although I cannot claim that I've carried it around tenderly in my bosom, but every time I got really and thoroughly...

So, you've decided that you want to lease that next vehicle. Can't really blame you. With today's incentives, rebates, and favourable lease rates why wouldn't you. Not only do you get to drive a new car, but a new car that you wouldn't otherwise be able to afford if you were to purchase and finance it. Buyer beware though. With leasing comes new and sometimes rather confusing vocabulary. Don't get lost in a sea of leasing jargon. Protect yourself. Learn and understand the industry language. For those seriously thinking of leasing that next vehicle, here is a useful glossary of "new" terminology that you should familiarize yourself with BEFORE you negotiate a lease: Acquisition Fee: An...

New cars are our everlasting addiction. We never can seem to get enough of them. We work hard and save up money just so we can buy a new car, in the mistaken hope that it is a wise investment. Actually, new cars are never an investment; they lose value the moment you drive off away from the car dealer shop. Cars can only be investments if 1. You use them for your business, for transporting products perhaps. Or 2. If you're entering your custom car in a car show and win a price, then that's an investment. Otherwise, if you're just buying a new car to have something to drive to work or show around, then you're just wasting your money. And you're better off just sticking with your old car. Re-evaluate...

You're ready to buy a new car. You've done all your homework. You know your three FICO credit scores. You determine that your highest FICO credit score is from Equifax (also known as your BEACON score). So, you find a car dealer who uses your highest score (which increases your opportunity to get approved at a good rate). You get to the dealership and ignore all the salespeople by going directly to the finance director's office. But as the finance director reviews your credit file in front of you...you can't help but think something is wrong. Sure enough...the dealer says your Equifax/BEACON score isn't high enough for their lowest interest rate. How can this be? You just checked your FICO credit...

Tina Turner may have had a point, some activities that take place in your car, may result in naturally occurring fogging. This will indeed add to one's privacy, although choice of location is also crucial as I suspect Gillian Taylforth would, with hindsight, testify. However, many of us are more often engaged in more prosaic pursuits that result in steamed up car windows; just this morning I drove home with two very wet and panting dogs after a wonderful walk in wet woodlands. Additionally there has been; bringing the children home form swimming on rainy Saturday mornings, lugging several bags of wet washing to the launderette after the washing machine had broken down, and driving home from...

Learn about the origins of the lowriding subculture To quote the band War, "the lowrider is the one to meet". For almost one hundred years, lowriders have been not only the one to see, but the one to meet. Stemming from an old Mexican ritual called paseo which made horses the utmost symbol of prestige, lowering stock cars to almost sidewalk level and customizing them dramatically has evolved into the same sort of symbol of status. From Mexico to Los Angeles to Chicago to the rest of the world, the art of customizing a stock car into a lowrider has been an evolution. In the 1940's lowriders only graced the streets on Sundays. As their popularity began to grow lowriders not only became more plentiful...
