Why Your Next Pickup Should Be A GM
2008-02-11 07:39:00
Why your next pickup should be a GM by P. FillerOddly enough, out of all of the research done into hybrid technology GM has been forward thinking enough to make theirs are not only affordable, but ingenious as well. They now offer both the Sierra and the Silverado pickups as hybrids country wide. Using a technology not formerly seen in hybrids, GM attempted to not only lower emissions in their pickups, but to make them handier as well. Affordable TechnologyGM wanted to make a hybrid truck that was too well priced to turn down, the major complaint of the hybrid models is high price tag which counteracts the gas mileage benefits. In response to this GM produced their pick up hybrids to cost only $1500.00-$2500.00 more than its gas guzzling brothers, saved with tax cuts at the pump within the first few years of ownership. Especially if you consider that the hybrids produce a 10% improvement in fuel economy, all without sacrificing any power. Both the Sierra and Silverado offer th...

This is a Joke told at a car-lot, but actually by a customer:There was a monkey running down city streets, sun shining and not a care in the world. The monkey crossed the railroad track and just as he crossed, a train came and cut off the tip of his tail. The monkey startled, turned and ran back to recover the tip of his tail.

An Introduction To Chevy Corvette
2008-02-06 06:28:00
An Introduction to Corvette By William BergThe glorious Corvette history started in 1953, when Chevrolet first came out with the Corvettes. It has endured the tests and ravages of time, and is now considered to be at par with some of the greatest cars in the world. The first all American sports car built by an American company, today Corvettes are manufactured almost exclusively by General Motors in their plant in Kentucky.The early Corvette produced in 1953, was a reflection of the styling flair of Harley Earl, who convinced GM that two-seater sports cars were the ultimate American dream. The name Corvette comes from a small maneuverable fighting frigate. The early Corvettes were almost hand built using fiberglass instead of steel for the lightweight effect. At that time, Chevrolet was known for producing excellent performing cars in a no nonsense package. So, though the cars were good value, sales continued to decline.The Corvette history would have ended with this small chapter ex...

Car Loan After Bankruptcy
2008-01-29 04:32:00
Bankruptcy is one of those things people hate to do, but sometimes is the only way out of a desperate situation. After Bankruptcy, it is possible to get a Car Loan .After Bankruptcy, go to your local bank and see about taking out a small personal loan with some collateral. It does not have to be a large amount to start out. Try borrowing $300 and put your computer or TV up for collateral. This is just a start to building your credit up after bankruptcy.Next, apply for a credit card. This is what got most in Bankruptcy trouble in the first place so be careful. A high risk card may have a large fee just for opening. You may have a $200 balance the day you open the card, but this is just to get a start on your credit. Do Not go out and charge a large amount on the card. After 3 or 4 payments, your limit will be raised so do not get carried away. You want to always keep your balance on a credit card below half of the available limit to get maximum points on your credit score.After Bankru...

A Popular Quick Fix For Dented Cars - Paintless Dent Repair By Steven MagillMost of us try and avoid dents in the car, hoping it will go away with time.

Here are some ideas on how to save money on car insurance.Depending upon what state you live in, having car insurance may not only be a smart way to protect your car, it may also be the law. Certain states require that drivers carry insurance on their vehicle, and for good reason.

2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Car Review By Siree ChamberlainKBB Editors' Notes: In a consumer economy driven---at least to a certain extent---by tax cuts extended to the super wealthy, the uptick in luxury and exotic car sales won't constitute much of a surprise. Managers of the venerable British franchise, Aston Martin, have taken note and moved aggressively in broadening Aston's offerings---previously limited to the outgoing Vanquish S and DB9---to include a two-place coupe (and upcoming roadster) designed to capture the eye of the 911 prospect. The end result, the V8 Vantage, constitutes a beautiful blend of traditional Aston design cues with an unexpected dose of athleticism.What's Significant About This: Today's V8 Vantage is a clean-sheet approach to a Sports/GT. Benefiting from an all-new platform and V8 drivetrain, the tightly-drawn two-seater supplies the Aston prospect with an "entry level" choice while providing Aston Martin and its dealers with a better business mo...
