Everything About Car

Automotive Resource Guide

Finding information about past, current, and future car offerings used to be a task that involved wading through countless glossy magazines, perusing bulky sales brochures, shifting through inky newspapers, and skimming through a host of other print material of varying sizes and depths. How many of us have subscribed to 2, 4, or even 5 or more publications just to get the latest information about our favorite cars? Today, thanks to the internet, there are a host of sites available to learn more ...

Cool Cars - What is Hot and What is Not!

What is at the heart of cool cars everywhere? Is it the speed they can travel at? Is it the thought of the wind brushing your hair? If it's the latter, then you have a soft top (convertible), or someone's pinched your roof! Well, it could be either of these things. Or perhaps cool cars mean something else to you entirely. But to me, it is the shape of the car. Not so much cool cars but cool curves ... Sexist? Perhaps, but true none the less. I think I classic car is defined by it's ...

The Suspension System On A Car Explained

These are used in sets of four for each vehicle, or they may be paired off in various combinations and are attached by several different mounting techniques. The suspension system also ...

Where to find a complete list of Used Cars?

I recently was at a site online and it had a used cars section. I thought it might be a good source to try and find some used cars, since I'm in the market. Perusing through the used car section, I noticed they online had 2 pages of used cars! 2'pages'! When you're searching for a used car, you want to be able to find a complete list of used cars from every corner of whatever country you live in. I'm in the US, so naturally (or un-naturally) I want to see used cars from Dells, Wisconsin to Los ...

Who Sets Auto Insurance Rates

Auto Insurance rates are a complicated business. Have you ever wondered who sets your auto insurance rates and how the rates are actually derived? Many factors determine how much you will pay. Most of these are common sense and you probably already know but let's go over them just in case. The very first thing that occurs is that the insurance company determines all its costs for the previous year. This includes all claims, the cost of operations, and what ever costs they incur.

Why do people use their cars as ashtrays?

I work on cars for a living as my day job and it always astounds me that people will actually flick cigarette ash on the floor of a $60`000 vehicle. There are people whom i know that live in homes that are worth less than $60`000 and sometimes it just disgusts me. As a non smoker i have to get into these cars to move them and they smell and have burns in the seats and carpet. Anyway,, enough of all that. I was working on a ferrari today which was a bit of a treat becuse i normally work on ...

How to buy a used Car at 90% savings off the book value

To buy a used car is a great idea for saving money. Everyone knows that a new car lost 65% of its value in the first 5 years. But the case would be more extreme for a 1 to 2 years old car, it will lost its value 30-40%. If you don't mind to drive a used car (I mean a 2 to 5 years old car, it looks pretty new) rather than a new car, you may save much money to pay many other bills. If you want to keep the car not too old, you may resell it after driving for 2 to 3 years and buy another newer one. ...

Whether you buy a new or used vehicle, fuel efficiency--good gas mileage--is high on the list of most buyers' concerns. The difference between choosing a fuel-efficient car or one that guzzles gas, will either save or cost you money over the life of the vehicle, which could be substantial. Fuel efficiency varies widely from one car to the next. Obviously you can check the EPA rating for city/highway MPG on the window sticker, although most of us know the average car never reaches those numbers. ...
