Buying A New Car – Dealer Tricks

Monday
Oct 27,2008

I had been thinking about buying a car for two years. After another $1000 of repairs on my 1994 Buick Roadmaster (purchased new) with over180,000 miles, it was time. In the past, when I sat in a new car (at dealers and at auto shows), the comfort did not match my Buick’s “sofa like” seat so I put off buying. During the past 24 months I determined the make and model but not the color; thus one Friday my plan was to check the colors at a local dealer. Later, the best price would be obtained via online bidding – a proven way to obtain a competitive price.

Heir Apparent:
The Ferrari 360 Modena

At the turn of the century, the quiet little town of Modena was going about its business in the southern Po Valley in Italy. It was like any other town, with busy shops and hard working parents, and the streets were filled with children, who once in a while marveled at the machines that would occasionally rumble by on stiff rubber wheels. Three of those boys would go on to create legendary automotive companies that would bear their names – Maserati, Lamborghini and a young man named Enzo Ferrari. Today Modena is home of factories for automotive legends like Bugatti, De Tomaso, Lamborghini and, of course, Ferrari, thus earning it the reputation as the capital of engines.

Recently, I wrote an article about Bird Flu and the problems it caused for human operated toll-booth on toll-roads. The article apparently hit a major publication and several high-traffic online websites. Then I was asked to further elaborate on my points of contention. One gentleman emailed me and said recently that a lady at the toll-booth was wearing gloves.

No surprise here, was it paper cuts, did she have warts or was she worried about contracting a virus or disease? I would be worried. Airborne, touching, etc are all serious issues. Yes, regarding the issues of Toll Booths with humans in them and the possible transferring of pathogens, we did a study on the possible effects of Bird Flu pandemic and decided that it would severely impact the economy.

Many people wonder one certain thing about exhaust systems. What is the right exhaust system for my car?

Many factors are involved in answering this question. After all, this system will be on the vehicle for some time.

Regular grade gasoline is just as good as premium gas for your car if you are not driving a high performance vehicle such as a Viper, Corvette or a high end luxury car.

Premium gasoline was designed for high performance vehicles and luxury cars that are built for high rpm’s and richer fuel mixtures. But to put premium gas in your everyday driving vehicle that doesn’t specify premium on the gas cap is a waste of money. It may even lower your gas mileage by causing your fuel system to run a little rich.
