- 2006 Acura Mdx: Luxury With A View By : Matthew C. Keegan
You have to love the marketing guys. After all of the work of the design team, a new vehicle must pass through several rigorous channels including engineering, safety, performance, quality, durability, craftsmanship, government inspections, and management clearance, before even the first rivet is drilled or body panel painted. After all is said and done, the marketers get their chance to pitch the final product. In one word the MDX has been defined by these very same marketers: benchmark. Does the MDX live up to this all important designation? Acura would like for you to think so. Let’s take a look at Acura’s 7 passenger luxury SUV to see if it truly does rise to the level of category leader.
The marketplace is flooded with SUVs. Despite high gas prices, the demand for high profile vehicles continues to remain strong, particularly in the sub-behemoth category which is anything smaller than an Expedition or a Tahoe. Still, some of these less imposing models are fuel eaters too, equipped with V8 engines and all the latest gadgetry. If you want to realize fuel savings in an SUV a compact Ford Escape Hybrid is just
about your only choice, plus a new Lexus model just now hitting showrooms. - 2006 Honda Element: Unique Freak? By : Matthew C. Keegan
I admit it. When I saw my first Honda Element a few years back I thought it was one of the most hideous looking vehicles on the planet. Then I saw the Scion xA and Scion xB, so I quickly relegated the Element to third place. I confess that my earlier feelings about the Element have changed, possibly because I see so many of them on the road these days and perhaps because I see its usefulness. No matter, the Honda Element is a unique looking vehicle and it is a lot less freakish than what you or I may think.
Freedom from convention. That is the saying on Honda’s web site when it comes to labeling the Element. In many ways, this marketing slogan is true. Who says that any vehicle has to conform to what you expect? True, past radical models failed miserably. The Ford Edsel and VW Thing are two that come to mind. Yet, the times are different and a truly “rad” look is in. Real in, if you know what I mean. - 2006 Jeep Commander: 7 Passenger Trail Trekker By : Matthew C. Keegan
Jeep has finally done it. A 7 passenger trail rated Jeep is now available at a dealer near you. Long a maker of manly SUVs, the Commander holds true to form as it can easily be taken off road as well as down the highway. Unlike more pedestrian models, the Commander looks every bit the rugged vehicle that it is. For Jeep fans who need the extra room the Commander offers space not available in any Jeep since the Wagoneer was retired a generation ago. Let’s take a look at the 2006 Jeep Commander, the focus of this review.
So, why build a seven passenger Jeep? To give customers a choice, that’s why. With existing models able to carry only five passengers or less, the Commander meets the demand for a larger model. Instead of losing sales to GM or Ford, Jeep is now able to offer a vehicle that will keep customers from leaving for bigger and roomier models. - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca: Ugly Or Not? By : Matthew C. Keegan
Okay, Subaru fans…listen up! Do you think that the all new B9 Tribeca is a beautiful vehicle or is it an ugly duckling? As for me, I have mixed feelings. This particular SUV certainly doesn’t look like any other Subaru, nor does it easily get confused with any other SUV on the market. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; let’s take a look at what sets the B9 Tribeca apart from the pack.
The first time I saw Subaru’s new entry up close I first thought it was Porsche’s Cayenne. No, the vehicles don’t look alike, but the B9 Tribeca evoked a similar response for me: like the Cayenne, it represents a major departure from all other models. For example, the B9 Tribeca offers the following: - 2007 Chevy Tahoe: Selling Like Gangbusters By : Matthew C. Keegan
The jury is in regarding the recently released big SUVs from General Motors: they are an overwhelming success story. The Chevy Tahoe along with its GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade siblings are bringing in big gains for GM. Just in time too as the automaker pares excess capacity, closes plants, and lays off tens of thousands of workers. So, what is it about the Tahoe that is stimulating sales? Everything!
Just what is it about the new Tahoe that is bringing in the customers? With sales up nearly 50% over the previous year’s model there has to be something that sets the big SUV apart from its predecessor. In fact, everything has changed with the Tahoe as it is an all new model: - 2007 Gmc Yukon: Still Too Much? By : Matthew C. Keegan
I realize I may be stepping on some toes, but please hear me out. The upcoming, new from the ground up, GMC Yukon is certain to be perceived by some as being too much…in size, that is. With fuel prices at an all time high and consumer sentiment shifting to smaller vehicles will the GMC Yukon be considered outdated even before it hits showroom floors in Spring 2006? Let’s take a look at many of the changes planned for the all new Yukon and then you can decide for yourself.
General Motors has been itching to release the Yukon and a host of other full sized GMC/Chevrolet models to the public as soon as possible. Some find this odd, particularly since fuel prices are high and demand for large vehicles is on the decline. Still, there is good reason why GM wants you to take a closer look at upcoming offerings including the 2007 GMC Yukon, their big SUV: - 2007 Hyundai Entourage: The Minivan Wars Heat Up By : Matthew C. Keegan
It was only a matter of time before they entered the minivan fray and after several false starts the on again and off again Hyundai minivan appears to be on once again. Hyundai is targeting a market it has long sidestepped and it appears that a long wheelbase version of the Kia Sedona will soon be sold in the US as a Hyundai Entourage. The minivan wars are heating up again even as one competitor exits the market and another also gives serious consideration to abandoning the minivan segment. Is there an Entourage in your future? Read on for all the details and then decide.
Two decades ago, Hyundai entered the North American market with its $3600 Excel Pony. This cheaply priced, cheaply built model set the tone for the new importer and it wasn’t a good one at that. Low quality went arm and arm with the low price, but consumers still bought Hyundais anyway as a new Excel compared favorably with prices for late model used cars of that era. Many owners shrugged off the cheap plastics and quality problems, citing that the Pony gave them something they never had before: a brand new car. - 2009 Buick Enclave: From Concept To Reality By : Matthew C. Keegan
General Motors has been taking a beating for over a year now due to sales dips, make/model image problems, and labor and legacy issues. Truly, if there was a better time to jumpstart the company, I don’t know what it would be. Fortunately, someone in GM’s walnut-trimmed boardroom is getting the message: build what we want and we will buy it. The Buick Enclave, a luxury SUV making the rounds of the U.S. auto shows, appears to be one such winner.
I realize that I am in the minority of car critics, but I think that Buick is on the right track. The Lucerne, a full sized car based on the Cadillac DTS, is a beauty and Buick’s next newest model, the mid sized Lacrosse, is another attractive looking car. Still, Buick’s remaining fleet has been scaled back with only two SUVs and one crossover vehicle, the Terraza, left. At times it isn’t clear what plans GM has for its “near luxury” division, but if the Enclave is one example, then Buick has a promising future. - A fork lift truck for your problems. By : Ken Wilson
A fork lift truck is an industrial tuck used for transporting and lifting various materials by means of forks which are inserted under the loads. Most frequently, these forks are made of solid steel. The most common use of the forklift is to move heavy loads stored on pallets in a quick and efficient manner. To serve this purpose, a pallet truck is probably the most popular choice. A pallet truck is a non-stacking lift truck equipped with a lifting device for raising the loads and transporting them wherever it is necessary. The typical machine is built to lift a load of up to 3300 lbs at a maximum height of 12 feet. - A Lesson About The Good Old Trucks By : Joe Goertz
A man named Gottlieb Daimler built the first ever-motorized truck back in 1896. He was a German automotive pioneer who also invented the very first motorcycle, as well as the world’s first taxi. Daimler’s truck consisted of a four horsepower engine, a belt drive, one reverse speed and two speeds for going forward. - A Look At Gas Trucks Versus Diesel Trucks By : Gregg Hall
If you plan to use your truck like a car, desiring quick, quiet acceleration and rarely ever haul a heavy load and don't plan to it for a long time,you may want a gasoline engine. Gas engines run smoother, fuel is easier to find, and gas engines
start easier in cold weather. - A Pallet Stacker Or A Forklift – A Necessity In Storage By : # David Yuri
When in need of storage most workers can carry and lift small weights and a limited number of products. If you want to raise the efficiency of a worker and not use a large number of workers just to carry around big loads then you should consider purchasing a pallet stacker. The average weight of an empty pallet can reach 50 pounds but some reach even 80 pounds. The choices you make in the methods of gathering and managing pallets can determine the difference between efficient and non-efficient employees, not to mention the improvement that you can make in the working conditions and the safety involved in handling the pallets. Those are just empty pallets. Full pallets raise a bigger number of problems; one such problem is the damage you can bring to products and the drops in quality that can occur if the pallets aren’t handled correctly. This is why a pallet stacker is indeed a necessity for your business. The pallet stacker you choose will make the difference in efficient storage and distribution and its employment will undoubtedly save your money and prevent injuries that might occur with the workers handling the pallets. - A Truck Audio That Gives Relief From The Many Hours Of Monotonous Driving By : Muna Wa Wanjiru
As everyone knows there are many great ways that you can listen to music. One of the best ways is while you are traveling. Now you should look for the various audio parts that can fit well into your vehicle. As there are different types of audio systems you should expect that an audio system that works for a car will have some problems in a truck. Therefore you will need to install a great sounding truck audio. - Because Bugs Bug Me, I Kill ‘em By : David Brooks
I’ve heard that some people like to keep bugs as pets, and there are plenty of scientists that spend their lives studying the suckers. But I simply can’t believe that there is anyone in the world who honestly has a soft spot in their heart for insects. Those entomologists must harbor some deep seated hatred that they keep in check by flexing some control over the creatures by keeping them captive and measuring their organs. It’s their way of lording over arthropods, and I have a serious hunch that it stems from a genuine loathing. - Boost The Power And Performance Of Your Car With A K&n Cold Air Intake Or Reusable K&n Air Filter. By : David Brooks
More and more car and truck enthusiast's are upgrading their performance with a K&N cold air intake. Here's a primer on some of their top selling products:
The K&N FIPK Air Intake has custom engineering with a cooler crosslink nylon intake tract and a famous K&N Filtercharger cone filter. This air intake will boost your vehicle's power across the RPM band and can even improve fuel economy. - Bushings Buying Tips By : John Morris
Bushings are either permanent or detachable metal sleeves that are used primarily to reduce friction. Since the early 90s, different chemistries of the dry bulb bushings with bronze layers have been commonly used. This technology offers accuracy and concentricity that is not available with other types of bushings. Today, many types of Bushings are manufactured. There are control arm bushings, anti-sway bar bushings, and spring bushings. And each one has distinctive feature and has its own upsides and as well as downsides. - Buy A New Truck Camper To Get The Most Out Of Your New Truck By : Gregg Hall
Hitch your Wagon to a Star with New Truck Campers
Do thoughts of lumpy sleeping bags, cold hot dogs and collapsing tents scare you away from camping outside? If so, there's no longer reason to be afraid. Three manufactures of truck campers have released models that make it possible to bring the creature comforts of home along for the ride while testing your skills in the great outdoors. - Caliper Buying Tips By : John Morris
Calipers are obtainable from supply stores for most automobiles. The prices of them range depending on the type of vehicle. Some companies have repair kits that are offered for you to do it yourself, but the availability of the repair kits depends on the model of the vehicle. Most of the time, they do not have repair kits for classic models of vehicles. Moreover, it is recommended to change and replace the Calipers that determine your vehicle's brake capacity. It is not a good attitude to replace or change Calipers only when you notice that here is a leak or stickyness. - Chevy Equinox And Land Rover Freelander By : Matthew C. Keegan
The sport utility market continues to expand despite higher than normal gas prices. The reason? Because, these do-almost-everything-vehicles provide just what consumers want. Sure, sales are down right now, but they will recover as more economical vehicles enter the mix. SUVs carry people, haul stuff, pull stuff, can go off-roading [okay, maybe not the Equinox], provide superior handling than many cars, etc. Fortunately, not all are gas guzzlers either. Chevrolet’s Equinox and the Land Rover Freelander are two that come to mind. Let’s take a look at these two compact SUVs.
Chevrolet Equinox – I like the looks of the Equinox, Chevy’s car-based SUV that is only slightly smaller than the mid-size TrailBlazer. By car-based I mean a vehicle that handles and drives more like a car and is actually built on a car platform [like the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4, for example]. This means that the Equinox is built chiefly for the road, so if you want an off road experience you would need to opt for the TrailBlazer or get the Freelander. Okay, I digress. - Choosing a Safe and Reliable Car Transport Service By : John Morris
It doesn't matter if your car is a sports car, an antique car, or even just a plain family car, if you want it safely delivered to you, you will have to find a reliable and affordable transport company that has a car transport package that suits your needs and your budget.
But, when choosing a car transport service you have to be aware of some issues regarding the transport and delivery of such. Transporting something as precious as your car would be suicide if you didn't take the proper precautions. - Crop-fed Cars Hit The Highways By : David Sanders
A popular new fuel, E85, could help put the brakes on America's foreign-oil dependency. The Department of Energy provides these answers to some frequently asked questions about the fuel: - Diesel Power—pluck Yuppies From The Muck With Power To Spare By : David Brooks
These days, a big diesel rig is an indispensable part of country living. You can load it up with feed, lumber, livestock—whatever—with nary a squat. A diesel truck will go just about anywhere; they get relatively good mileage for the horsepower and the torque rating is more akin to a bulldozer than a work truck. Plus, in a pinch or when the stuff goes down, you can run the thing on vegetable oil, really. - Dodge SRT8 Charger: Not Just Another Family Sedan By : Matthew C. Keegan
When the smart folks at DaimlerChrysler were looking to beef up the Dodge line, they had to look no further than the Chrysler 300C, the Mercedes derived sedan that was turning heads from the moment it was introduced. What surprised many Mopar fans was that the vaunted Charger name would be affixed not to a coupe, but to a sedan. To this day, purists grumble at that decision but one look at the Charger tells you that this is not some ordinary family sedan. Thanks to the original Chrysler Group design team the Charger received plenty of notice, even better with the later involvement of the SRT group, Dodge has turned everything up a notch yet again.
Street and Racing Technology {SRT} is the name of the performance group within Chrysler that is tasked with taking already potent vehicles and turning them into class leading, road dominating muscle cars. In its earlier day the team transformed the Dodge Neon and most recently this same team did its work on the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. When the 2006 Charger was given its opportunity to shine, the SRT team immediately decided to plant a 6.1L V8 Hemi-powered engine underneath the car’s hood producing an amazing 425 horses along with 420 lbs-feet of torque peaking at 4800 rpm. Clearly, no car in its class matches the Charger’s competence with the exception of the 300C. - Edge Performance Transforms Your Diesel Truck Into A Modern Hot Rod By : David Brooks
To get your diesel juices flowing, check out Edge Performance. Their collection of modules, programmers and monitors are guaranteed to sharpen your rig’s performance edge. Whether your competition is a quarter-mile drag or a 10% grade, Edge products deliver the power and torque we crave. - Electric Forklift Or Lift Truck – The Same Thing? By : # David Yuri
One of the greatest innovations of modern times, yet highly overlooked, is the practical machine used for moving products over short distances known as the lift truck. This practical machine has reached a number of 150,000 units sold each year on account of its advantageous functions and of its contribution to lowering the work time and making it more efficient, and, therefore, helping companies. - Even With All Of The Imports On The Market The Chevrolet Truck Remains A Winner By : Gregg Hall
Chevrolet automobiles seem to have been around for as long as cars have. This is true in more ways than one. There are still plenty of people driving vintage models that perhaps your grandfather or great grandfather drove so many years ago. These are now considered to be collector's items by many car enthusiasts. They buy old Chevy trucks and then lovingly restore them to their previous glory. By the time they are finished, you would never know that they had rolled off the manufacturer's line so many decades ago. - Excellent Reasons To Own A Tonneau Cover By : John Morris
If you have a truck, adding a tonneau cover is a necessity. Why? Because they provide you with an organized storage for whatever you transport. It also provides coverage from weather conditions, like rain, snow and extreme sun. - Exhaust Systems For The Hobbyist By : Matthew C. Keegan
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 a stock exhaust system has to offer, then please read on for some important information.
So, what is your sound preference? Say, what?! Yes, one of the attributes of a high quality performance exhaust system is finding one that brings out the sound that you want it to make. Generally, there are three types of exhaust systems sounds you can choose from. Gibson Exhaust, a popular manufacturer of performance exhaust systems breaks it down as follows: - Extang - Cranking Out Top-notch Tonneau Covers Since 1982 By : David Brooks
Each Extang tonneau cover matches the love you have for your truck with equal parts quality, superior design, easy installation and sharp looks. If you’re driving with an uncovered bed or an inferior cover out back, a sharp new Extang tonneau cover is all you need for security, style and improved mileage. - For Diesel Performance, Trust Bully Dog To Let The Ponies Out By : David Brooks
When it comes to hot-rodding diesel trucks, nobody delivers a bite as ferocious as Bully Dog. Since 1999, these guys have been lighting fires under diesel rigs with their hefty lineup of monitors, modules and programmers. Bully Dog’s track record of safely extracting massive amounts of power and torque is how they maintain such a high-profile in the world of diesel performance. - Ford Driven To Retain "king Of The Hill" Reign By : Correy Putton
The Ford Motor Co. showcased its new F-250 and F-450 Super Duty pickups at the 2007 North American International Auto Show media preview held last Sunday. The preview was graced by renowned press motorists and critics in the industry. - Ford To Exit The Minivan Market? By : Matthew C. Keegan
All the car blogs lately have been speculating on the direction that the Ford Motor Company is going to take in the wake of declining sales and stiff competition. We know that Ford has too much capacity and we know that the company will be closing some key plants and laying off an as yet to be determined number of employees. What hadn’t been clear is which models would be cut from the line up. Now, it appears that Ford will exit the lucrative minivan market. That’s right, Ford apparently will stick with building cars, trucks, and SUVs, and leave the minivan market to the other players.
Ever since the Chrysler Corporation invented the minivan market back in the early 1980s with its line of “K-car” derived minivans – the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and the Chrysler Town & Country – Ford has been playing catch up. Indeed, a series of forgettable “star” named minivans were served up by Ford and summarily rejected by consumers: the Aerostar, Windstar, and the Freestar. Later, both Honda and Toyota brought out their own entries and Ford, along with Chevrolet found themselves trailing badly in an overcrowded segment. Indeed, several GM divisions sell minivans, as does Kia and Nissan, making the market especially tight. - Ford Trucks Vs. Chevy Trucks: Why All The Hostility? By : David Brooks
Standing in the sweltering, wet-wool-blanket air of DFW on a Friday morning in July, I began to panic at the mostly empty state of my pockets. Fearing that my car keys were wedged in a grimy seatback pocket or nestled in a weathered bowl next to some security checkpoint, I started to scramble. Some of my forehead sweat had nothing to do with the 90%+ humidity. Relief set in when I remembered that I had left my keys at home on purpose. The H on my security remote could have gotten me lynched here. - Fuel Savings For Big Rigs By : David Brooks
Truckin’ is my life these days. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pass my commercial driver’s license exams, so I’m stuck inside my dually Sierra instead of a proper Kenworth. I don’t much mind, though. I’m just happy to be away from my family for long stretches of time. Dianna used to be a right fine woman, and we had a lot of fun going out line dancing, playing putt-putt golf, or just throwing back a 6-pack and making out in my pickup. Everything changed when she had the boys: twin monsters with a taste for chocolate syrup and breaking my stuff. During those first 5 years, Dianna and I steadily drifted apart. The boys were very demanding of her time and attention, and I didn’t really want to share her with a couple of snot-nosed buttinskies. A chill settled over our marriage, and I took to sleeping on the couch because the boys hogged the bed. - Gmc To Launch All New Pick Ups Early By : Matthew C. Keegan
Published reports are indicating that General Motors will move up the production of their updated line of GMC and Chevrolet pick up trucks by three months with the new models making their debut in October 2006. Some are calling this move an act of desperation on the part of GM which has been socked by extensive criticism over its product line, while others are hailing it as a bold, strategic initiative. Regardless, this is an unusual move for the world’s number one automaker, one that could help the company get back on its feet. Let’s take a look at the new trucks and what they will offer to you, the consumer.
High gas prices, quality problems, and a perception that the company offers products that no one wants has been plaguing General Motors for much of the past year. With plant closures coming, layoffs pending, and market share decreasing, little good news has been focused on “the general” by the automobile press. Fortunately, GM is battling back with fresh models set to be released including SUVs and trucks, which are the “bread and butter” vehicles of the company. Here is what you can expect to see when the new trucks enter the market in Autumn 2006: - Halo Projector Headlights - Promoting Vehicle Appeal and Safe Driving By : Melissa Stuart
Halo projector headlights are made to assist drivers see better at evening. It is installed at the front, the rear and also the sides of an automobile. Traditional headlights were installed within the front and rear of the car to ensure a lighted driveway for that driver. Nowadays, installing headlights have become much more than just a requirement. It is not just used for safety; it is also used for vehicle appeal. - Have You Considered A Camping Tent For Your Truck By : Gregg Hall
Truck tents are becoming more and more popular everywhere from West Coast to the East Coast and all the cities in between. Most stores are selling out of truck tents. Truck tents are a great way to incorporate the extra space from the back of the truck as your own personal camping area. For the price of a regular hotel you can purchase your own tents that will last for several years. These tents are easy to put up anything used almost anywhere in less than 20 minutes. - Honda Ridgeline: The Truck That Works By : Jenny McLane
Of course, most vehicles that are produced and manufactured around the globe work well. However, upon meeting the Honda Ridgeline, the views have changed and people have started proclaiming this vehicle as the truck that actually works. This is based on the premise that most of the trucks that roam the streets and country roads are built to perform. However, these trucks are not very much capable of doing all types of work and have not been specifically built to take in various types of cargo without much hassle. This missing link has already been created and it comes in the form of the Honda Ridgeline. - How Do I Know If I Should Buy Or Lease A Car By : Gregg Hall
There are many important differences to consider when you are deciding whether to get a loan to purchase a car or lease a car from a dealership. Some of the considerations are whether it is business or personal, how many miles you will drive and how long you intend to keep the vehicle. - How To Choose Window Tint That Will Protect Your Car Interior And Your Wallet By : Gregg Hall
If you live in a hot climate like the Southwest or in Florida, where I live, it is almost unheard of to own a vehicle without window tint. Actually, window tint is one of the best investments you can add to your vehicle to protect sun damage as well as keep out the heat and make you more comfortable. - How To Ensure You Get The Best Vehicle Transport Service By : John Morris
If you need to get your vehicle from point A in California to point B in New York, you may be tempted to drive all the way there. Or you might just want to try a vehicle transport system to do the job. You could choose a vehicle transport system instead simply because driving it there might be too taxing. Or maybe you don't want your vehicle to endure the wear and tear of travel. Whatever the reason, you will have to find a good vehicle transport service if you want the car delivered to the destination. - How To Get Custom Bumper Stickers By : John Morris
Bumper stickers are everywhere. People seem to have a penchant for displaying them on their cars that it has become an ordinary sight. While they are everywhere, no one knows how they originated.
Unconfirmed reports state that they have been around even before the Second World War. After that, creative people used them to further their political agenda and campaigns. Also, before they knew it, they had become popular venues for advertising products and ideas all over the world. - How To Install Truck Running Boards By : Matthew C. Keegan
If you are a pick up truck or SUV owner, one of the most popular accessories for these types of vehicles are running boards. Running boards are particularly useful as they allow easier access to your truck’s cabin in addition to simply “lookin’ good”. You can outfit your vehicle yourself with running boards by following three simple steps. Depending on the brand of running board you purchase, the procedures involved may vary somewhat.
Lund running boards are industry hot sellers and the company helps make installation a breeze by outlining how to get the job done: - Husky Floor Liners: Premium Carpet Protection For All Types Of Vehicles By : David Brooks

First, every Husky Floor Liner boasts a fully custom fit that’s computer-molded to your floorpan shape. A Husky Floor Liner never bunches, shifts or curls. And, they cover more surface area than flimsy factory mats for maximum protection. - Husky Liners Or Weathertech Floor Liners: Which Would The Mob Choose? By : David Brooks
When people ask me how I first became interested in the Cosa Nostra, I can pinpoint the exact moment. It was August 11th, a muggy Sunday afternoon with no games on TV. HBO was running a recap of Saturday night’s big premier, What Women Want, so I treated the pay channel like it had crabs and avoided it. Then, a magical moment happened, and I’m talking very, very magical—like Moses parting the Red Sea or Lazarus creeping back out of the grave magical. Here’s what happened: I stumbled across The Godfather playing on TBS. Now, to some people, this would hardly constitute a defining moment in one’s life, but I was forever changed by the experience. You see, I had never seen The Godfather before. Even though I’m no spring chicken, I had never run across this film. Sure, I’d heard people talking about it at parties, and Bruce Vilanch couldn’t write an awards ceremony script without dropping scene references like he drops Twinkies. But, for the first (and certainly not the last) time, on that Sunday afternoon, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be a made man. - Hyundai Veracruz: Love It Or Hate It By : Joe Thompson
Korean cars are improving more quickly. In fact, it is chasing the popularity of its Japanese rivals. Hyundai, for one, is poised to take another step in the right direction by launching its latest crossover named the Veracruz. The new Hyundai Veracruz made its debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). - I Double-dog Dare You To Stain My Gmc Truck’s Seats! By : David Brooks
As a young lad growing up in Flushing Meadows, New Jersey, I was sick a lot. It wasn’t like I had something exotic or exciting like flesh-eating bacteria or Groats’ Syndrome. I just seemed to get the stomach flu once or twice a month. My mother shuttled me all over the Garden State to see specialists, but all the white-coats were baffled. Except for the puking, I didn’t really mind being ill. Elementary school was a bore, and my homeroom teacher had this horrible lazy eye that would creep me out and give me nightmares. So I relished staying home. I’d lounge on the couch, eat cinnamon toast (when I wasn’t doubled-over with diarrhea), and watch my most favorite game show: Double Dare. I was captivated by all those healthy boys and girls wading through pools of baked beans and picking through giant noses filled with green frosted cream. No matter how crummy my tummy was feeling, I’d always perk up whenever my show came on Nickelodeon. - Improve The Power And Performance Of Your Car With A K&n Air Intake And Reusable K&n Air Filters.

The K&N FIPK Air Intake has custom engineering with a cooler crosslink nylon intake tract and a famous K&N Filtercharger cone filter. This air intake will boost your vehicle's power across the RPM band and can even improve fuel economy. - Increased Fuel Efficiency For Volvo Trucks By : Glady Reign
With the prices of fuel steadily rising, car owners are looking for ways to ease the pressure on their wallets. An answer provided by car manufactures, most notably Toyota and Honda, are hybrid vehicles which use an electric motor to drive their car along with whatever engine they are equipped with. These cars have been making great progress in terms of sales, focusing on the budget-conscious public. Fuel economy is significantly increased while still delivering great performance. Cars such as the Toyota Prius, which is the first mass produced hybrid automobile, are also environment friendly due to its lower emission levels.
Not only individuals are looking for ways to decrease their fuel consumption but also large companies which need trucks to transport their goods. On of these is Wal-Mart which recently announced that they are making a research on the possible use of hybrid technology in their truck fleet. Companies can increase their profits significantly if they can cut down their fuel consumption considerably. This is especially true for companies with a large fleet of trucks or buses. The answer, of course, is a hybrid truck that will use an electric motor to help its diesel engine - and that is just what Volvo has developed recently. - K&n Cold Air Intakes And Air Filters - A Brand With Trust And History By : David Brooks
Today, there isn’t a performance enthusiast on the road using an antiquated paper filter, and the most of then are running K&N filters.
K&N is a global enterprise with offices in California and Europe. Still family owned, K&N is as dedicated to high-performance motoring as they were when the company started nearly 4 decades ago. K&N’s enthusiasm for performance, and their connection to motorsports are the forces driving the company to the top. - Keep Your Truck Grill Looking Like New And Make It Last Longer By Keeping It Polished By : Gregg Hall
We all like the look of a shiny truck grill, but when was the last time you paid any attention to yours?Most of us hardly have time to make sure our grill is looking good, we simply wash our truck and that is about it.

Maybe it was the success of the Nissan Xterra or perhaps it was the desire to recapture past glory [or something in between] but Toyota’s decision to build the FJ Cruiser may not have been an easy one. With a line up filled with various trucks and SUVs, the proposed FJ Cruiser would not only be competing against the Jeeps and Land Rovers of the world, but with some of its own models including the car based Highlander and the versatile, truck based 4Runner. Still, the model was thought to stand a chance for two reasons: the FJ Cruiser is a retro-styled vehicle taking its design cues from the FJ40 of the 1960s/1970s and for its 5 passenger seating capacity: just the right sized vehicle that consumers would want to take off roading. - The Types Of Hybrid Suvs Available By : Gray Rollins -

Me and the boys live down here in Wausau, Florida. Never heard of Wausau? It’s a drowsy little town of 400, famously known throughout the Panhandle as the Possum Capital of the World. As you may have guessed, living in an area whose claim to fame is its level of varmint infestation means that there’s not much to do. We’ve got a couple of arcade games down at the laundromat, but even Galaga loses its charm after two decades. So we have to be a little inventive in order to kill our time. For a while, we wanted to start up our own Jackass troupe, but that fell apart after Dwayne lost a couple of digits in a stunt we called “Midnight Alligator Cowboy.” That was a hard blow to our morale, and a bunch of the guys wanted to slink back to the laundromat where they felt safe and comfortable around the dull glow of Millipede.

I’d wake up to a fresh pot of Folgers, head over to my shop, count nails and arrange the plungers in a fashionable way, eat a sensible lunch, and head home at 6:00 to nuke a Swanson’s and watch the Jeopardy. Yeah, those were the good times. Everyone in town knew my name, and they’d stop in every other day or so to chit-chat and maybe replenish their supply of gopher poison. I felt like I was living in a wholesome Norman Rockwell painting. But fate had some twists and turns for me, and I would have to learn the hard way that heaven doesn’t exist on earth. - Why Many Truck Buyers Are Adding A Camper Shell By : Gregg Hall
