How to build a VW hot rod
We can already hear it. The story you are about to read is going to upset some of our readership; but in all honesty we don't care. After all, we have taken a few risks in the past by running features of "cosmetically challenged" VWs (check out last month's ratty 1950 Split), and reporting on import races for example. As controversial as these two subjects might be, the response from our readers has been excellent, so we will continue to show cars you won't see in other Volkswagen magazines. Like it or not, our job is to present all facets of our hobby. This includes a new (or is that old?) breed of Bugs, which could have been built by inventive Hot Rodders about half a century ago. They look mean...
Volkswagen Golf review
The Golf doesn't relish being hurried. It has a laid-back character, and is at its best when traveling at high speed. On motorways, very little wind noise penetrates the cabin. On smooth surfaces, the cruising ability is superb. But on bumpy roads, the softer suspension of regular models means there's a fair amount of roll and wallow. In short, the VW isn't as well controlled as exemplars such as the Ford Focus, and feel slightly lethargic. It turns in accurately enough, and the speed-sensitive steering is well weighted, but compared to the Focus, it's not a particularly engaging car to drive. Sport models, with stiffer, lower suspension, are better in this respect, with a small penalty in terms...
Volkswagen Tuareg Preview
Times have never been tougher for luxury 4x4s. Environmental concerns are putting gas-guzzling cars under the spotlight more than ever before. So, to keep its big off-roader in the headlines for the right reasons, Volkswagen recently revised the Touareg. In Issue 949, we were impressed by the V10-powered model's talents - but does the flagship Altitude trim, with a more affordable, less polluting V6 diesel, scale new heights? We drove the previous-generation Altitude in Issue 924, and its successor has as much visual impact. It's now established as the top model in the three-trim line-up, and the most striking feature is its bodykit. With unique bumpers, side skirts and a roof spoiler, the...
Volkswagen Transporter van
If Youre Put Off By The Blandness Of Bog-Standard Panel Vans, Volkswagen Have The Answer In The Shape Of Their Extrovert Transporter Sportline. Steve Walker Reports When images of Volkswagens Transporter Sportline first appeared in our office, they attracted an unusual amount of interest. If the Sportline was an Italian supercar or the latest Japanese rally replica, a certain amount of fuss would have been par for the course but it isnt, its a panel van. The reason why this comparatively unassuming vehicle caught the imagination quite so readily will be immediately clear to anyone who lived out their misspent youth during the mid to late 1980s. Decked out in Diamond Black paint with 18-inch alloys...
Auto Detailing and Mobile Car Washing; Doing...
If you own a mobile car wash company or auto detailing firm sometimes the best clientele are companies, which are normally not sought by your competitors due to the stigma of their brand name. But I would advice such mobile cleaning service companies to re-consider such quick judgments and let me tell you why.With Ugly Duckling and Rent-A-Wreck there is much work in washing and detailing for their car sales lots. As these companies expand we see much potential in the washing for them. For instance Ugly Duckling had our company in San Antonio TX wash all of their cars. They have several more dealerships in Austin TX to sell their used cars as well. Each lot has about 100 cars and takes about an...

The new GTI boasts a top speed of 145mph and will hit 62mph from rest in just 7.2 seconds on the six-speed manual version combining for the first time FSI technology with a turbo charger.

Used Auto for Sale Online
To buy a new car is not a thing you do everyday. It's easy to put pressure on yourself and to worry about whether or not you are being practical enough, when searching for a used auto for sale. Do you know which brand you are looking for? Which make and model? Are you going online and search for a used car for sale site, or are you going out to find your car at a dealership? Have you considered what the price should be compared to your needs and/or is it within your budget? What about vehicle fees and insurance? Should you take a car loan? Here is what you should do: sit down with your computer, relax with a cup of coffee and click through the Internet. Search for used cars and trucks. They...
Here are 10 things to keep in mind before you sign the dotted line on a used car.1. Before selecting a used car you want to buy, read some reviews and check if the car has a good track record in terms of reliability. You may get an unreliable car cheap, but it'll likely break down. Spend a little more money on something more reliable as repairs are still expensive on cheap cars.2. Find out the fuel economy rating of the vehicle(s) you're interested in, and how much it'll cost to insure. If this is your first car, insurance will be high especially if you're getting a sporty, 2-door vehicle. Staying with a 4-door sedan will help you get better insurance rates. Also, with gas prices on the...
Why You Need a Performance Exhaust
To ensure car manufacturers meet the expectations of the mainstream customer, many of today's cars leave the factory with low-velocity, ultra-quiet exhaust systems.

British Car Shows
British cars hold a special place in American history. At a time when most sports cars were huge and bulky, the powerful but small British cars created a different segment in the car market in America. There were many British cars that were popular in America, such as the MG, Austin-Healey, and Triumph, to name a few. They became a dream machine for Americans and sold well during the 1950s and 1960s. Not only were they cheap, but they also had a unique simplistic composition and design that endeared them to the American populace.This popularity of British cars continues even today. One can find antique British cars in almost every American city, despite most British cars having stopped export in the...
What Should I Sell on eBay?
If you are a new seller, my initial advice would be to gain experience of eBay selling by cleaning out your garage or attic.Start by selling used goods, small appliances, wedding gifts you never use, old books (non-fiction ones are best), used sporting goods and clothing items. Like that leather jacket that doesn't fit you any more!The experience you gain will be invaluable, there's no cost involved other than eBay fees which aren't too heavy.The next step is to sell items about which you know something. It might be related to your hobby or interests.If you are knowledgeable about a collectable or an art object, then you have the ability to do the research to find the products at prices you can...
Most people that I know who are, or have been in network marketing, never seem to make a dime! Others (myself included) make a small fortune. If you're not doing VERY well with your business, and you're honestly putting in the effort, let me explain to you how to turn things around!First of all, you need to make sure that you have the right product. That's the biggest mistake I see those who're failing make. At the same time, I see many marketing the same products that I do, not having the same success. So that's only one piece of the puzzle. Still, it's a very important piece of the puzzle.The product must be:- A product that you can't buy cheaper at the local Wal-Mart! If your...
Traffic Zoology
There is a secret zoo that runs encaged along the roads.They are liquid, semi-visible goliaths that rage through the streams and chunks of ordinary traffic, with the effervescent tendrils of mile-long tales whipping behind them like Chinese dragons. Though composed of hundreds of pounds of steel, glass and plastic, they are able to pass through solid objects. They are bound by the laws of the highway, but not by any conventional notion of time or space.They are Aggregate Traffic Animals: a menagerie of emergent beasts drawn from the interacting behaviours of many individual human beings driving many individual cars with many individual goals, their collective activity giving rise to something with...
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 but they became the vehicle of choice for anyone who...

The Masked Fool
The FoolMy first direct experience of the fool in masking was watching Morris Dancing here at home in Yorkshire, England. The Morris dancers were dressed up in their usual dancing shoes with bells and baggy pants. To be absolutely honest I have always found Morris men a bit funny! Perhaps I should explain about Cecil Sharp, no I'll leave that to a footnote.The Boars Head Morris Men were dancing in a pub car park. ( Pub short for Public House a place for drinking beer etc. in the UK.) They were doing the usual dances that are related to fertility, good crops and harvests etc. But of course they really don't quite have the pagan beliefs off pat. Mind you when you see them drink ale in the quantities...

Surprise Your Mom with a Clean Car this...
Unlike most of us, mothers rarely get their chance to furnish their cars to look new and neat or "cool". Moms are often too busy with work, doing chores and taking care of the kids to have time for their car. As Mothers Day is coming on May 13, the Car Care Council recommends surprising our moms with the simple gift of a clean car that will not only make them smile, but will also lessen her driving distractions. Car Care Council Executive Director Rich White said just about every mom knows what it feels like to have a water bottle rolling dangerously close to the brake or gas pedal. Getting this stuff out of the car and giving it a good thorough cleaning will go a long way toward eliminating hazards...

Mobile Car Wash in Dayton OH
Dayton, OH needs a really serious mobile car wash business. Everyone is into their cars there and it is like a mini automobile capital of the World. In fact I understand that GM holds the SUV assembly record in Dayton, average of 28 hours or something like that? I was talking with some General Motors at Starbucks there in Dayton's Southern Suburb area about it.Unfortunately many workers were getting axed with the lay offs. Well at least every one can get the same employee discount as everyone else now? I hope that does boost sales in the industry, like they say; "What is good for GM, is good for America?" The people of Dayton OH are into their auto industry, which make it a great market for a...
My Volkswagen Story
As a member of a car club I often wonder what inspires others like myself to join such an organization. Certainly the cameraderie, the sense of being part of a big family, is an important factor. The club I belong to is devoted to all Volkswagens, old and new. The question for others fascinated with these cars is, What got us interested in Volkswagens in the first place? There are probably as many stories of inspiration as there are dandelions in my front yard every Spring. With that said, here is mine.I was born in 1959, and my memory goes as far back as 1962, when I was about two and a half years old. In those days generally only one parent was the breadwinner, as was the case with my father. We...
An Introduction To Collecting Car Brochures
Ever since the first car was made manufacturers and tuners have been producing literature to promote their products. One of the most interesting aspects of collecting auto brochures is that they provide a unique social history of the time they were produced. For example if you have a brochure for a Volkswagen Beetle from the 1960's you will find information about the time in which it was produced like hairstyles, clothing and popular decor of the time. Add to this, the fact that most brochures can be bought inexpensively and take up little space to store (unless you get obsessed!) you have the basis for a popular and rewarding hobby. However, as with all collecting there are many ways (especially as...
Selling products to Mexico is easier than ever. Mexico is the #1 importer of US products in the world. There is a need for all types of products including food, beverages, electronics, cars, tools, candy, toys, clothing, everything.Mexicans are so eager to buy that they come to the USA looking for products instead of waiting around for someone to call them and sell them something. They visit US trade shows, organizations and many companies. I constantly have someone in San Diego visiting from Mexico to speak with me on how they can find products of all kinds to export.Who's looking for products? Mainly wholesale distributors and retailers. They are looking for products to sell in retail stores...

Auto Auctions
An auto auction is quite simply an auction for vehicles, usually cars.The auction process takes place as normal, with the lot being displayed, and bidders contesting each other, with an auctioneer presiding. Usually an auto auction takes place between car dealerships and is not open to the general public.Auto auctions often deal with off-lease, off-rental, company cars, or repossessed vehicles. Off-lease means vehicles returned to the financial institution at the end of a lease term, and are usually only found at auctions. Off-rental refers to the practice of rental companies to update their fleets of cars every years, meaning that they have a stock of well kept cars of a recent model and only a...
Ford F-150: The Top-Selling Vehicle of All Time...
For the company that sets the world standard and major innovations in car building, it is not surprising that Ford vehicles can generate car sales enough to shatter records after records. More than a century of marked excellence proved that any Ford vehicles to hit the road are built tough.One of these is the Ford F150 that has been in the top of the list as the best-selling trucks in America for almost three decades. In 2003, the F150 sold 850,000 units in one year to become the best-selling vehicle overall for the past 22 years.

The Importance of Car Information
You recall your first car? Was it a hunk of junk or a nice one? You may have resorted to the local newspaper for your car information in order to find that inexpensive, little jalopy. Or perhaps you were lucky enough to receive one is the gift or be able to afford one yourself. No matter where you searched, one thing was for sure; you wanted a good deal. In the past, this could often prove a difficult task. If it was bought from a dealer, he could make up any outrageous price that he wanted to, and if you went to an individual that had a car for sale you could end up with a junker and not know it until a month later and then you would be totally out of luck. This is really that big of a deal now...
How To Buy Foreclosed Homes For A Bargain Price
Many people want to know how to buy foreclosed homes because they know that these home foreclosures are usually sold at very discounted prices. Really it is easy. The hardest part about it is finding a house that has come up for foreclosure.This type of real estate comes up for sale all the time. Unfortunately there are always people who for many different reasons cannot afford to pay back the bank therefore they are in default of their contract and the banking institution or lender has the right to sell up and get back the money that is owed to them.It works pretty much the same way as it would for repo cars, boats, bikes and so on. These houses get put up for auction by the original lending...

It is difficult to miss a Hummer, but how many companies could afford to run one to promote their business?

An automobile is one of the costliest things in the world to have. It isn't merely the cost of purchasing one, but you also have to factor in things like oil prices, maintenance costs, and insurance premiums. For most people, the basic coverage of an insurance policy is enough to suit their needs. However, used car Houston insurance is a different game. Texas laws can be harsher than laws in most of the other states for those caught in motor accidents, so many dealers suggest taking add-ons beyond the standard insurance package. When it comes to the used car Houston insurance game, there are a few things any buyer would need to know.The standard package for used car Houston insurance usually has the...

List the Basics for Making Any Sale
There is a Ford Mustang for sale down the street. I've driven by it several times. It's a 1966 . . . or may a 1967. Every once in a while I stop in the middle of the street next to the car and look at the sign. All it says is "For Sale: $4000 obo" and the phone number. This tells me very little of what I need to know about the vehicle. It gives me no reason to call.Oh, I know I could stop in and talk to the owner. Or I could call, but it's easier to complain. No matter what you are trying to sell, and everyone is selling something, you need to provide the basics of your product or service.To sell this automobile, why is there nothing on the sign about the year, the motor size, the type of...
My Favorite Wiper Tactics
We're nowhere near the height of the open water season, but I thought I would summarize what I know about wiper fishing.Bait fishing:Slip or egg-sinker rig, with 1-3' leader, baited with cut baits like carp, or shrimp, or live baits like crawlers or minnows. Worm harnesses bounced on the bottom, or pulled behind bottom bouncers from a boat also work on the bottom. Certain soft plastic jerkbaits are also said to work, although I haven't tried them.Bobber fishing:At the right time of year (Spring, early Summer, and Fall), a 3" live shiner or sunfish suspended 4' below a large bobber can produce nice fish in areas where wipers come in to feed around dusk (along dams or riprap, or on sandy bottom flats...

Many mobile car washing and auto detailing customers have considered used car lots as potential customers and some of these can be in fact great customers. But the best used car lot customers are Rental Car Agencies, which own their own sales lots. Why is that you ask?Well you see, used cars sold at the rental agencies sales lots have many attractive ways to entice consumers to buy them. For instance Hertz carries forward the manufacturers warranty. They make a special deal with Ford and Toyota for 100,000-mile warranties, which are transferable to the new owner, in trade for ordering thousands of cars. Enterprise and Hertz bought nearly 1.5 million cars last year.These cars will eventually be...

Fuel consumption wasn't the reason we bought our Volkswagen Jetta five years ago. Although, the investment has paid off handsomely considering the price of gasoline today. I remember our car search like it was yesterday. We went from car dealer to car dealer looking for the right vehicle. My wife was interested in the paint color, upholstery and head room of the vehicle. Her claustrophobia mandates a roomy car with headroom. My agenda was different. I was searching for a car with folding side mirrors.After crunching half a dozen side mirrors while backing out of the driveway, we wanted a car that was designed for the narrow and unforgiving driveway. Oddly enough, there wasn't a car salesperson who...
Deceptive Car Dealer Ads and Activities -...
You hear them on the radio and TV everyday. Some have outrageous ads and sales gimmicks. "Push, pull or drag your trade in for $4000 minimum trade", "Best price in the world!" "Best bumper to bumper warranty ever - we cover everything." "Repo'd car sale today." Bet you didn't know that these ads can be and usually are very misleading and can be illegal.According to Leslie Anderson, AAA, Misleading advertisements and deceptive marketing from car dealers has been on the rise in recent years. Car dealers, due to a struggling economy are resorting to grey market sales tactics and ads. Many of these ads are either borderline or even illegal in nature.
