There are exhaust systems and then there are exhaust systems.
Your vehicle's exhaust system does everything that it needs to
do to keep your car performing properly as well as to protect
the environment safe from harmful pollutants. When it is working
properly, that is. Not every owner is satisfied with stock
exhaust systems, particularly the hobbyist or recreationalist
who uses his or her vehicle for leisurely pursuits. If you are a
hobbyist and you want a system that performs well beyond what ...

dealer prep, and destination charges. Let's take a closer look

I wrote previously about Mercedes' foray into the small car
market. As strange as that may seem to many Americans, both
Mercedes and BMW have long produced smaller and less costly
models for the European market. Now, it appears that BMW is
considering doing the same: introducing to the North American
market a truly compact car, smaller than any BMW that has ever
graced our highways and back streets. Is this a good move for
the German automaker? Or, will it water down a prestigious ...

Much like car covers, a high quality custom fitted truck cover
can protect your pick up truck from a whole cluster of nasty
insults to your truck's body. Even if you park your truck in a
garage and give it regular washes and polishes, your finish can
soon diminish and your truck quickly show its age without the
added benefit of using a truck cover. Let's take a look at some
of the advantages of owning a truck cover and what you need to
look for when considering purchasing a high quality ...

Back during the 1980s when Mercedes introduced its first "baby"
Mercedes, the car was received with mixed reviews. Motorists
loved the car, now a "C" series model, as it made a Mercedes
automobile affordable for the middle class. On the other hand,
critics worried that the esteemed Mercedes-Benz name would
suffer as a car touching the price level of many ordinary
American models would soon become part of the line up. Today,
even smaller Mercedes are planned for the US market. Will this
be a ...

Even small changes, like custom rims or tinting, count, although they won't have much effect on your policy. It's the larger modifications that really raise your premiums. Insurance companies willing to cover modified cars used to be hard to ...

New Beetle was one of the first of many of these types of cars
to show up on the market. Given VW's long running popularity,
other long since retired models are certainly worthy of being
copied, don't you agree? The Karmann Ghia, the Thing, and the
Scirocco are a few that come to mind, however they aren't the
ones slated for a comeback. Yes, VW's famous "Bus" or Microbus

Credit Honda with not giving up easily in what will certainly
become a big fight: the sub $15,000 price range category of new
automobiles. Currently, only a stripped down Civic competes in
this area and I mean stripped: no a/c, basic tranny, no radio!
With Toyota's Scion brand catching on Honda is looking to fight
back. A tiny car now on sale in Japan may soon find its way to a

I realize I may be stepping on some toes, but please hear me
