Search Car Web Sites for Information

Add comment August 21st, 2006

Are you in desperate search of that new ride? It can be a blast browsing all over town for that new car. You get to test drive several, and compare prices on different models. One thing I’ve certainly noticed in the past is that different areas definitely slap varying price tags on their cars. It’s almost ridiculous. You can venture into a big city and stroll through a nice dealership, then check out a car that sports a 20 grand price tag. Then you head to a small country town and check out the same vehicle, only it now has a 16 grand price tag. What happened? Well, this just proves that it pays to shop around. These days we don’t even have to leave the comfort of our own homes to do this. You can basically pop open your laptop and view car web sites all you want. Isn’t it cool how convenient things have become? You just got to love the Internet.

The word lately has been in favor of one auto manufacturer, Toyota (taking six of the ten hottest car spots on the list), and in controversial angst over another, Ford (taking excessive slack from right-wing conservative Christians protesting their advertising in gay publications).  Chevy seems to have escaped both the bane of boon of exposure of late, so maybe a light on and Cavalier recalls will fall on deaf ears.  And despite how big a proponent I am of Chevies, I will nevertheless offer a look at the Chevy recalls…for those of us who are die-hard Chevy drivers but who are also smart shoppers who keep informed regardless.

2006 Ford Truck Recalls List

Add comment July 19th, 2006

While an intelligent person who minds his/her own business might realize, a bigger concern than Ford truck recalls is on the radar:  Christians are again handing down decisions about lifestyle choices and have decided to boycott Ford, not for any Ford truck recalls or Ford Motor problems that concern them and their loved ones but because Ford had ad campaign that that were featured in homosexual publications/targeted the homosexual demographic.  But to be fair, and to avoid getting apoplectic about the right to choose religion, sex, sexuality, and purchase options and other inalienable rights, and to hold off on crowing about my and my family’s love and respect for Ford trucks—which rock—I will digress…and get back to my own business of looking into and making notes on the most recent Ford truck recalls.

Chevrolet Cars and Trucks Review

Add comment July 15th, 2006

Have you driven a Chevrolet? I am no stranger to Ford and Chevrolet cars and trucks—as they are the only makes my dad drove when we were growing up.  I have a knack for spotting  certain models (though I can’t peg the years yet and won’t be describing in any detail the components, the engines, or the mechanics—which I’ll leave to the Chevy aficionados);  and have a penchant for many of the older hot rods (60s and 70s!!) myself (though I doubt I will ever be able to afford any).  My ex, when he wasn’t an ex, got me a Chevy Monte Carlo that would blow the doors off the little buzzing fools who always tried to race me.  It had a throaty growl that I still swoon over.  And it had a style that at the time (three years ago) I thought would be irreplaceable.

Autos Alternative Fuel Sources

Add comment July 14th, 2006

We are running out of natural gases. Alternative sources of fuel for cars may be too little too late, but they are certainly better than nothing. In many cities all across the nation, alternative fuel sources are becoming increasingly popular, as people begin to plan for what looks to be a bleak energy future. The importance of alternative fuel sources can not be overrated. We have reached the half way point for oil consumption, and from here on in, it will get more and more expensive to extract smaller and smaller amounts of oil, resulting in the end of fossil fuel use. The sooner we switch to alternative fuel sources, the better, but it seems that our economy is so completely dependent on gasoline that switching might not be enough to save us now.

Types of Car Video Screens

Add comment July 10th, 2006

One of the cooling autos accessories is car video screen. Though the small video screen hasn’t been around long, many people consider them a necessity today. In fact many top model vehicles offer them as an option during the purchase process.

They certainly come in handy on long road trips, especially when kids are traveling with you. But are car video screens really something that should be in cars? Most people seem to think so.
