So, you are looking to purchase a new car, maybe a new mercedes C-Class, maybe a BMW 323?These cars after-all come with a 'huge' 2.something litre engine which will whine its way up to 60 in probably around 9 seconds.They will make people know that you are (a) successful (sales rep), and that you have chosen a quality car that. However, I feel that they have as much excitement and originality as a potato.Why not spend the same money on a new Ford Mustang?Its not as crazy an idea as you may think; the GT comes with a 4.6 V8 which accelerates from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, can hit a speed limit well in excess of the law, and houses 300 horses under the bonnet.It doesn't even guzzle that much fuel...

What was your earliest memory of auto racing? I remember watching a weekly TV show called "Jalopy Races From Hollywood". This was my earliest memory of having interest in following the sport of auto racing. One of my most favorite memories when growing up in the 50's and 60's was being able to hear the auto racing action [stock cars and open cockpit midget] at Freeport Speedway in Freeport New York, from two [2] towns away. They ran races during the summer on Tuesday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. Going to the races as a spectator was also a rush for me. I loved everything about it, the smell of racing fuel, burning rubber, sawdust and hot dogs from the food concessions. During the late 50...

The Chevrolet Camaro was a compact car introduced in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors at the start of the 1967 model year as competition for the Ford Mustang.Although it was technically a compact (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitiors, was soon known as a pony car.Though the car's name was contrived with no meaning, General Motors researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels"! In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was...

How it all began with Golden Retrievers: Sir Dudley Majoribanks wanted a hunting dog, but not just any hunting dog. He wanted one that was just as a much a companion as it was a retriever of the birds he shot. The then popular Irish Setters and Spaniels were only good for showing him where the birds had fallen but their coats, much too fine, kept them from finding them in harsher areas. So, Dudley Majoribanks created the Golden Retriever and, coincidentally, one of the most popular breeds. Of course, it was not an easy task--it took him years to create the dog he envisioned (years and multiple breeds).From 1865 to 1889, Majoribanks used his pups to further the idea of the ultimate hunting dog. When...

Buying a second hand car can be something of a lottery if you are not well informed about cars and their values. And even if you are, there are still some obvious pitfalls you should avoid if you want to ensure that you've bought a quality used car. The first thing to do when considering buying a second hand car is to acquire a second-hand car price guide. Many newsagents stock these and failing that there are plenty of online guides available. While these won't be free, but they will be a great investment, and the few pounds you spend on a guide could save you hundreds, or even thousands when it comes to buying your car. You'll also get a good indication of what type of vehicle you can afford and...

Newspaper advertisements may cost more than those which can be posted on the Internet, however, posting your classified advertisements in the newspaper will likely increase the chance of a sale as you are reaching a more local market. It is unlikely that someone from across the country or around the world will want to purchase your used furniture, lawn mower or Kenmore washer and thus much of the traffic that would come to your Internet ad would be useless. However, due to the fact that most newspapers that feature classified advertisements have a local circulation, the chances of completing a sale through the newspaper greatly increase since the product can easily be obtained. On the contrary...

1892The U.S. Supreme Court: the highest court in the land. Their job: to decide the constitutionality of cases. But is that what they are really doing? Can we trust that their decisions are just? Two important cases in history can help answer this question. A 1896 U.S. Supreme Court case, Plessy v. Ferguson, made facilities and schools separate based on race. In another case in 1954, Brown v. Board of Education, the court reversed its decision and said that separate was not equal. These two cases teach two lessons about the U.S. Supreme Court. Plessy shows that our justice system has failed at times to establish justice. Brown shows that even though the Court rules justly, justice isn't guaranteed...

A classic car revival has been sweeping the continent for the last decade, bringing new enthusiasm both for classic cars and the latest models of certain classics as companies roll them out. The Grand Prix from Pontiac is one of the few muscle cars that has enjoyed continuous production since it first came on the market in 1962. Today the Grand Prix is Pontiac's largest car, with modern innovations in power drive and emissions making it cutting edge technology. As with most muscle cars developed in the 60's and right through the 90's, though, the Grand Prix lacked an efficient system which would generate the power it needed in order to be truly impressive without costing an arm and a leg when it...

Chevrolet planed to keep its remarkable reputation for style, more power and more refinements going strong in 1956. "The Hot One's Even Hotter"! "Loves to go - and looks it!" declared one 1956 ad campaign. The 1956 Chevrolet was bigger and more important looking. Although the basic body shell that was new in 1955 remained the same, detail changes were made to increase the car's already large appeal.Major styling changes involved the grille, tail lights and side trim. The 1955 Chevrolet grille was very clean looking and the lattice work effect remained on the '56 but it was widened, parking lights were enlarged and it was raked slightly in on the bottom. At the rear, large chrome plated tail...

Aside from being a promoter of a quack impotence cure that was sought by many celebrities, the enterprising Brinkley was also a radio talk show host, aspiring politician, and Nazi sympathizer among others.

Experts say about 30 million Americans are suffering from this condition. Brinkley's colorful career began in 1917...
