The manufacturing of the Bentley started with a 3-litre engine car which was very advanced for its times. It had...

It is difficult to miss a Hummer, but how many companies could afford to run one to promote their business? The answer is, of course, very few and it is doubtful whether GM's overgrown offspring would be the most suitable promotional vehicle for many of them.

The Global Auto Sales Race Heats Up
In the global automotive industry things are really heating up as the traditional players fight for a top spot in the race for global dominance. General Motors Corp., which has been number one in terms of global auto sales for over 75 years, is fighting to keep that title in the face of growing competition from Toyota. Last year Toyota was trailing General Motors by only 261,805 units.Though it looks inevitable that Toyota will claim top spot, increased sales in China (GM is now #1 in China beating former top dog Volkswagen) and surging sales in India have buoyed global sales for the General despite declining sales in North America. General Motors boss Rick Wagoner recently stated "If we can keep...
Is a Classic Car Right For You?
A vintage or classic car can bring you great joy, but it may also be painfully expensive. The truth is vintage car ownership can sometimes be an illusion because not everyone is suited to the hobby, financially or otherwise. The good news is that by using these tips with caution you could soon be at the wheel of the car of your dreams. Some of which may be as old as the car you're about to buy. Ask yourself if you can really afford a vintage or classic, remembering that if something breaks it could end up costing a small fortune in repairs. This is especially true of rare or exotic vehicles. Parts may be hard to find, thus the car could be out of service for a lengthy period. Can you handle repairs...
"The good thing about being a man: You don't give a rat's ass if no-one notices your new haircut. Gray hair and wrinkles add character." ~ AnonThe first time Alex and I went to Rod, our new hairdresser, I followed Alex to the chair and started giving my opinion on how his hair should be cut.

How to Drive Your Car AND Help the Environment
Many of us want to help the environment. We care about global warming. But we also need transportation.Especially for those of us that live in large cities not well equipped with public transportation, or those who live in out-of-the-way areas tens of miles away from civilization - without a vehicle to get around in, we can't get around at all!I know personally that I get aggravated at the seeming lack of options out there for truly improving the environment while handling my transportation needs. Here, in Los Angeles, public transportation is mediocre at best. And the hybrid cars pushed at us from car companies are often discovered to do little in helping the environment.So I took the liberty to...
Targeted Marketing For Your E-Book Business
This article overlaps a little with our earlier article about finding a suitable topic to use for marketing your online information products. This time, though, we'll go into how to go about marketing to a specific group of people.First, though, why do people buy information online? Why would someone shell out their hard-earned dollars for your product? When you start your advertising campaign, you've got to think about that. This brings up the question: Why do people buy any kind of information, or for that matter, why do they buy anything at all? Think about that for a few minutes before continuing to the next paragraph.Think...think...think...think...think...Got it? Have you figured out...
When most car buyers are asked what kind of car they would like to buy, they often answer something like "a Volkswagen Passat, or maybe one of those Chevy Trailblazers, but I really love those Mazda Miatas." It seems funny, but many people have no idea what they really want or need. Only one, if any, of those cars will suite the person's real needs and wants. The most common mistake of car shoppers is that they really don't know what they want. Everyone knows what happens when you go to a grocery store without a list of items. Either you end up buying everything your stomach growls at and find out later you didn't really need half the stuff you bought, or you will spend hours wandering about the...

Our goal is to bring this process back to Earth for you by explaining some pricing basics.How do you price your product now?

Yard sales (or garage sales as we call them in my part of Texas) are a wonderful frugal source for almost anything you need. They can also be a wonderful, frugal source of extra money almost any time you need it.When shopping at yard sales, it's important to remember that most things you buy are not going to be in "new" condition, although there are times when you will find items that are brand new, in the box. And at a much lower price than in the store.Most yard sales have lots of clothes for sale. But if you are willing to take a closer look, you may find tons of treasures. The other day I found a shiny cookie sheet in a box of "freebies"! I was thrilled and so was my son, who didn...

Happy Birthday Las Vegas - You've Come A Long...
Las Vegas is celebrating its 100th Birthday this year.What would it take to entice people to an arid, dusty, brown spot of the country? A land auction started it off, in May of 1905 you could buy a parcel of Clark's Las Vegas Town site for $200.00, these were exceptionally far-sighted people if you ask me. First of all can you imagine being in Las Vegas in the early 1900's without air conditioning? This was not a deterrent to these "hardy" pioneers. Just one-year later Miller's Hotel was built and the rush was on, because after all now people had a place to stay. Miller's was on the corner of Fremont and Main. Today, renamed The Golden Gate Hotel, in deference to the earthquake that nearly destroyed...

Regular Low Octane Gas May Be Costing You More...
What Is Octane and How Does It Affect Your Engine's Gas Mileage and Horsepower? Trying to save money by using a lower octane gas is almost a guarantee that you will actually spend more money on gas (depending on the cost difference of the choices between 87 octane and 93 octane). Why? Because it's a certainty that you will get terrible gas mileage. Isn't that ironic? And horsepower? Forget it. Your horsepower won't even be close to what you should have. But the worst part is that it will eventually harm your engine. Badly. Surprised? All the things that people have told you about "hearing" or "reading" that there is no reason to buy premium gas because the regular gas is just as good are wrong! Then...

Safest Vehicles to Insure - Small Car Category
Allow me a short analogy here to start...Solenopsis, a member of the ants family, build piles of sand or soil that can be more than a couple of feet on top of the soil and can create a deep burrow way underneath, and they are known for their dogged determination and hot temper. Their enemies know at once that these small creatures are, in reality, dangerous and can be difficult to defeat.When the makers of small cars finished building their latest models, they may have the little but deadly creatures on their mind because their products were designed in congruence to the little insect's capability to be powerful and ferocious in spite of its size. In today's contemporary society, the makers of...
Site Selection - Slice of Life, A Car Wash and...
There is a continual trend we are seeing which I can remember participating in over a decade ago, when cities were trying to figure out how to increase sales tax revenues when the large box stores outside of town came into nearby or surrounding areas. For instance a big and easy example would be Wal-Mart. Sam was smart and built his stores just outside of town near towns, which drew from neighboring towns of 5,000 or more from three to five directions. If you look at an over lay of Wal-Mart stores to an atlas of that state you will see the rural America can get anything they need at the best price without driving all that far.Unfortunately that awesome distribution system that Sam designed which...

How A Cleveland Woman lowered her gas cost to...
You can learn how consumers have cut the price of gas to unheard of levels. 89 cents was what one consumer paid, while $1.09 was what another paid. They applied to their gas purchases the same ideas they used when they purchased other items. This is how. Not long ago, Kellie Courtney of Cleveland paid only 89 cents per gallon of gas. Marion Charvat paid $1.09 a gallon. Marion filled her Volkswagen Jetta for only $12.45. How could they buy gas so cheap? They did it because they are smart consumers. Here's how they did it. The reason that Kellie and Marion were able to purchase gas at such a low price is that they treated gas like it was any other item that they would go to a store to buy. They...
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...
Skoda's Fabia Offered at a Bargain Price
Compared to the Super MINI segment, the Skoda Fabia by far offers more cars with fresh and timeless designs. The Skoda's key strategy is to offer an "extra bit of car" at prices similar to those offered by its competitors. This is also one of the reasons why Fabia owners just love their cars because of its chic style, reliability, intelligent electronics, exceptional safety standards and affordable price. The Fabia vRS has a lot more to offer, thanks to the Freeborn Skoda in Southampton for the really great deals that they offer. Customers who are to order a 07 plate in March will receive a discount of £880 and will be paying just £11,495 instead of the regular price. Normally the vRS - a high...
Getting the Most Out of a Used Motor Home Sale
A motor home is something every outdoor person must have. From camping to long drives, having a motor home is surely more convenient than setting up tents or renting rooms at roadside motels. But, as much as it is functional, a motor home comes with a hefty price tag -- kind of like the cost of a dozen premium-grade tents and a ten-night stay at a roadside inn combined. Fortunately for those praying for lower-priced motor homes without leaking roofs, there is an answer to this problem -- a used motor home sale. Like used car sales, some used vehicle dealerships hold used motor home sales to provide customers with cheaper alternatives. Indeed, a used motor home sale provides plenty of advantages...

Things To Keep In Mind If You Buy Used Cars

It is unavoidable that a car will end up being damaged in some way by weather conditions; such instances are unavoidable...
Understanding the Texas Lemon Law
Contrary to what its name suggests, the Texas Lemon Law is not a legislation that deals with the buying and selling of fruits or rule against its bright color.It does not even come close.Rather it involves the right of American consumers, who buy vehicles, used or brand new, cars or trucks, to return defective products and ask for a refund.Along with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Uniform Commercial Code, the Texas Lemon Law or Lemon Law in general protects the rights of American citizens to quality products that would give them value for their money...

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...
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...

Lemon Law BackgroundThe term "Lemon-Law" is a nick name derived from other common terms such as "Lemon-Car", "Monday-cars" and "Friday-Cars".A lemon car is a defective car that, when purchased new or used, is found by the purchaser to have numerous or severe defects not readily apparent before the purchase. Any vehicle with these issues can be termed a "lemon car" and by extension, any product which has major flaws that render it unfit for its purpose can be described as a "lemon product".New vehicles directly from the factory may contain hidden mechanical flaws or defects in workmanship, usually caused by an error during the build process of the car. These errors can range from parts being...
