Waitress Given 2000 Buick For Tip

2007-12-31T16:46:11Z

I think that it’s safe to say that when you have a kind heart and nice smile you can change the world. At least you can try to change your world. Melina Salazar was just an ordinary waitress who did her job everyday and put up with all the customers that she had. One of her regular customers was WWII vet – Walter “Buck” Swords – who was described by Melina as “kind of mean”. He would swear at her and yell at her – but she would still serve him with a smile and give him everything he needed. In return...(read more)

Lisbon-Dakar Rally To Continue Despite Terrorist Attacks

2007-12-31T16:26:42Z

It looks like it is going to take more than just a ‘little’ terrorist attack to call off the Lisbon-Dakar rally in Mauritania. Last week four French tourists and four Mauritanian soldiers were shot and killed in Mauritania allegedly by the Al Qaeda. After the attack many people assumed that the rally would be canceled – but after a meeting held by the chief of security for the rally and several government authorities in Mauritania they have decided to move ahead. Last year’s rally had two stages...(read more)

Subaru Has High Hopes For 2009 Forester

2007-12-27T16:36:55Z

Subaru has decided to give their Forester a complete makeover for 2009 in hopes that it will bring in a positive reaction from consumers and will be the ultimate SUV. The Forester has always been viewed on as a good SUV – but when it came to style and the way it looks it has always fallen flat. The new SUV will be given a wheelbase that is three inches longer and a more manly look to it. What won’t change is its tall wagon, raised-suspension program, but the ’09 model’s off-roading capability should...(read more)

It is in keeping with a strategic plan going forward to place more emphasis on the Lincoln...(read more)

Schumacher’s Taxi Drive Is Up For Sale

2007-12-18T14:41:28Z

It looks like the cab driver who let Michael Schumacher take the wheel of his taxi in order to get him and his family to the airport on time might be facing some serious charges. But that doesn’t seem to be stopping him from making something good come out of what happened. The cab driver’s Opel mini-van was a normal car until Schumacher got behind the wheel and made a little bit of history. Now it has doubled in value and the cab driver is looking to sell it for the highest bidder. “More than...(read more)

2008 Viper ACR Priced Under $100,000

2007-12-14T14:30:52Z

When we first saw the 2008 Viper ACR we thought for sure that it would be given a price tag of $100,000 – but Chrysler assured us that they would price it lower. This week we noticed that they kept their word when we saw that the price tag was $98,110. They kept their word – but they came as close as they could to the high number. The $12,000+ you spend over the base Viper coupe will get you a carbon fiber front splitter and adjustable rear wing, adjustable coilover suspension, a stiffer front anti...(read more)

2007 Nissan Nismo Z

2007-12-12T14:23:07Z

The 2007 Nissan Nismo Z may be a bit hefty ($38,695) than the normal Nissan vehicles that they have released – but it might just be worth the money. It is $2000 more than the Grand Touring model that they built – but it also has more features to it. Engineers created the ‘aero’ pieces of the vehicle in a wind tunnel where they found out the exact hardware updates they would need to augment them: -shock-tower bracing and radiator supports, extra body-shell welds at the A- and B-pillars, a heftier...(read more)

New HX Concept May Be The Best Hummer Yet

2007-12-10T22:36:34Z

GM ’s Design division has just hired some fresh new faces and minds (David Rojas, Min Young Kang and Robert Jablonski) and we are thrilled that they were the lucky ones to be chosen. Their first job assignment was to “provide a vision for the future design of off-road vehicles.” Under the supervision of HUMMER design studio director Carl Zipfel, each young designer was assigned to either the wheelbase, approach and departure angles or stance - three core HUMMER proportions – and otherwise...(read more)

2008 Audi RS4 Has The Power

2007-12-03T14:57:18Z

The new 2008 Audi RS4 is not the usual Audi luxury sedan that we are used to seeing. Not only does the RS4 have a more edgy and powerful look to it – but it also has a much more powerful V8 engine that sports 420 horsepower. For a compact luxury sedan we are pretty curious as to how well this vehicle can drive. Audi has chosen to change things up for the New Year due to the increasing competition from BMW and Mercedes . Audi may have a hard time selling the new sedan though because of the high price...(read more)

2009 Toyota Matrix S

2007-11-30T16:36:14Z

The 2009 Toyota Matrix S has officially hit the streets. When Toyota created the Matrix S their goal was to give it a sporty edge. Unfortunately they weren’t able to follow through on this idea. Sure it has a bit more edge to it – but they sacrificed some of the looks that made us love the previous models. So instead of giving it an edgy look they ended up by dulling it out. The Matrix will be available in three trims: Standard, S, and XRS. The interior of all three has bright white-lit gauges offsetting...(read more)

2009 Ford F-150 Still In Production

2007-11-28T17:11:48Z

We haven’t been able to see much of the 2009 Ford F-150 – except that which has been masked and covered by engineers. From what we can see we assume that there will be many changes to the interior as well as the exterior. We’re expecting one, or maybe both, of Ford’s new 5.8L and 6.2L BOSS V8’s will make its way into the F150. Eventually Ford’s new 4.4L Lion diesel motor will also show up under the hood. This will be a first for the F150 lineup to get a diesel. Style-wise...(read more)

Hyundai Creates First Luxury Car

2007-11-21T18:03:36Z

Hyundai is turning things around and taking on the big guns ( Toyota and Lexus ) by creating the new Concept Genesis prototype. It is their first luxury car that has the similar design of a BMW . Hyundai stated that even though it will be a luxury car we can expect it to cost much less than $30,000 – which is something that puts a smile on our face. The Genesis concept features a V-8 engine–the type of power plant widely used by such luxury automakers as Jaguar and Mercedes -Benz. The highest...(read more)

2007-11-16T14:38:32Z

Automakers everywhere are breaking away from the usual line of cars that they create and are stepping foot into unknown waters. None is doing this more than Honda who is working at putting their FCX concept into production. The FCX is important because it will become the world’s first fuel-cell vehicle that is available for anyone.
