Safety Tips & Features To Look For!

auto news No Comments »

suzuki_forenzaAlthough finding a car can be difficult, finding a very safe car is an even more daunting task, as you probably really have no idea exactly what you are looking for.  That is what we are here for, to make sure that your job is a little bit easier and to ensure that you do, in fact, buy an extremely safe car.

One of the first things that you might want to look for is rear parking sensors.  This definitely comes in handy whenever you are living in a city that you have to Parall Park a lot, as you never know when you might be backing up too much.  These sensors will actually assist you with parking and truly make sure that you realize how close you are.

You also want to make sure that the antilock brakes are there as well, as this actually stops your cars brakes from locking up, which is safer.

Spring is all about the bright and brilliant colors and I can tell you for sure that there is going to be a heck of a lot more yellow cars on the road, as they it is certainly one of the most popular colors, especially during the spring months.

More and more, yellow is popping up and most of the time, it is not just that banana yellow either, it is actually a yellow that is pastel as well, which is a yellow that I like better.  It is toned down and looks great.

Want to be a little different than the norm?  That is what yellow is all about guys!

What Do You Think of the Bertone Pandion Concept?

auto news No Comments »

Bertone Pandion conceptHow many of us dream of owning luxury cars?  I have to tell you, in my time spent on this blog, I have particularly become a fan of luxury European cars — French, Italian, German, British.  Jaguars — old ones, not new ones — have always been and will always be my absolute favorites but I think Bertone models are seriously sexy as well.

This is Stile Bertone’s new concept, called the Pandion, and this is one of the pictures that have been leaked onto the internet — way earlier than the car was supposed to be seen. Oops! But good for us!

The Pandion is based around the uber sleek 8C Competizione, courtesy of Alfa, which pretty much explains why it looks the way it does: like sex on four wheels.

Distracted Driving — What It Can Do To You!

auto news No Comments »

texting-while-driving-1451I can honestly tell you that in this day and age, distracted drivers are what you constantly see on the road lately.  If you are a person who is constantly texting, constantly on the phone and constantly needing to update your status on Facebook, then this post is for you.

According to the many, many reports out there, I can tell you that if you are constantly texting or on the phone when you are driving, you are going to be about 23 percent higher risk to get into an accident.

Whenever you are texting or on the phone when you are driving – just remember that when you are splitting your attention, you are at a higher risk.

Car Wash News: Naked Australians Reportedly Arrested At Car Wash!

auto news No Comments »

aussie_carwashOkay, so we have this thing at work every period where you can spin a wheel and win prizes.  I won a car wash.  When you think about a car wash, you go through the wash and have someone towel dry it most of the time right?  Well, in Australia it has to be different because I guess naked Australians were actually arrested at a recent car wash!

According to our friends at autoblog.com, a group of four men and their girlfriends pulled up to a Smart Wash in Biloela, Queensland Australia and they paid for the service.  They left their cars outside, took off their clothes and soaped up in the station while their special lady friends actually snapped photos.

This – in America would not go down at all, but really, it does sound pretty hot doesn’t it?

GM to offer in-vehicle WiFi on select models

auto news No Comments »

GM to offer in-vehicle WiFi on select modelsIn this day and age, we all seem to be glued to our cell phones or worse, our laptops.  I know that personally – I have been waiting for an automaker to come up with some way to incorporate WiFi into my car and now – now they have.  GM is actually thinking about making this a standard on a few models, which to me is pretty cool!

Autonet is the name of it and it is actually a device that is going to in your car.  The full price for installation of this particular device is about $500.00, but it could become a standard eventually on every car if the popularity keeps up – which it should!

If you are looking for Autonet cars, you might want to check out GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac cars.

What’s Up with the Hyundai Blue-Will Concept?

auto news No Comments »

hyundai-blue-will-conceptNo, but really — what is this thing?  Okay, okay, I know what it is – it’s the Hyundai Blue-Will concept car.  Cool beans, I got that.

But what the french, toast?  It boggles my mind, but at the same time, I think it might be the coolest car I have ever seen.  It looks like my stereo.  Seriously, my stereo has lights just like that.

Yeah, those blue ones there?  Hottt stuff, especially when paired with this particular paint job — I am an absolute sucker for silver and blue.

It is cunnin as a cat a runnin, really — the compact size we have by and large come to expect from Hyundai, along with some appropriately edgy design cues.

auto news No Comments »

2010 Toyota Prius Oh the 2010 Toyota Prius – how I love you and think that you are the greatest car in the world.  Honestly – I am not the only one that has those thoughts, no sir, the great thing about the 2010 Toyota Prius.  Everyone and their mom loves it!  This particular car is one of the only cars that actually had a raise on their sales last month, but a whopping 48%, which is absolutely saying something for just how many people truly love the 2010 Toyota Prius.

For those that are actually looking for the number of 2010 Toyota Prius’s sold?  Well, over nineteen thousand – yes, 19,000+ were sold just last month and while the Cash for Clunker program has absolutely helped the sales, I think that overall, the 2010 Toyota Prius is certainly the car of the flippin’ year.

If you are looking for a chic and sleek looking car that is not only fantastic on gas but will save you a bunch of money, the 2010 Toyota Prius is it!

Fiat 500 Abarth by Karl Schnorr: It’s Upgraded!

auto news No Comments »

Fiat 500When it comes to the Fiat 500 – we all know that it is going to be one hell of a car, however – what can they do to improve it?  Well, Karl Schnorr really believes that he can improve the Fiat 500 with all sorts of different upgrades.  The partnership between Fiat and Chrysler is a great one and that is exactly what has our interest hooked – simply because we think that we can improve on the Fiat 500.

The Fiat 500 has an above-standard engine already inside of it, for it produces about 133 HP, however with some upgrades you can push that horsepower up to about 185, which is something that is pretty damn cool!  You can also mount this beauty on 17-inch rims and the overall look of the Fiat 500 with the upgrades will be better off, trust me.

Fiat 500 is one car that I have fallen deeply in love with over the years and the fact that they keep making it better and better is awesome!
