The Most and Least Expensive 2011 Vehicles to Insure.
2011-01-14 00:36:00 As we are only a few weeks into the new year (2011), consumers are already in full swing of the car buying season and in keeping with the buying a new or used car theme, today I wanted to address the insurance part of buying a new car. Now I have to say that while the most expensive cars do appear on this list, keep in mind that the least expensive cars also appear as well and if you use this information for your next car buying experience, you should have a general idea of how much flexibility there could be in your new car insurance bill for that next major purchase. The list also allows us car enthusiasts to dream about buying that amazing dream machine and of course get slapped down a little on the insurance price. The most expensive 2011 vehicles to insure have to start with a Mercedes SL65 AMG roadster that could come in at an annual cost of $3,544 for a clean driver. However as a car guy who does like to think about owning a dream machine, I particularly love #8, the Porsch...
The Tourist (**) And Other Underwhelming Star Vehicles
2010-12-16 13:35:00 The Tourist. 103 mins. PG-13. Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Written by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes. Starring Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, and Timothy Dalton.Despite the A-list pedigree and undeniable attractiveness of its two stars, The Tourist is one ugly, odd duck. It recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, which itself is weird because the movie is not a comedy. A breezy caper? Sure. But any thoughts of true comedy are instantly erased by Angelina Jolie's utter lack of humor and inability to look anything but vain and preening on screen. So what is it then? A crackerjack, wrong-man-accused thriller? Nope - not unless you deem...
Nissan Recalls 2.1 Million Vehicles
2010-10-28 19:46:00 Nissan Motor Company has announced a recall that affects vehicles produced from August 2003-July 2006. Included are popular models such as the March, Mycra and Cube, but over a dozen other models are on the list of recalled vehicles. Image via Wikipedia This is Nissan's third largest recall, and is close in numbers to one of the devastating recalls Toyota had earlier this year. However, unlike Toyota's brake issues; which raised a fair amount of safety fears, the problem Nissan is having has not caused any accidents and is far less dangerous. The defect that was discovered has to do with a part called the relay, which is a part of the ignition-system. This can sometimes cause a stall in the engine, and in the most extreme cases, the car will not start. These cars were built in the U.S., Great Britain, Japan, Spain, Taiwan and China. Image via Wikipedia World Locations of Nissan Factories Nissan's announcement was made only days after other recall lists were releas...
