| Article Title :: Flex Fuel Vehicles: More Choices |
| |
| Owning a flex fuel vehicle gives motorists options beyond high gas prices at the pump. Depending on the fuel’s availability and local taxes, you could save as much as one third at the pump by fueling up your car with E85, the ethanol/gasoline blend popular with flex fuel vehicles. As additional service stations add flex fuel to their available fuel options, more drivers will consider this alternate fuel source to save money and to help the environment. However, before you make the switch, your vehicle must be designed to run on E85 in the first place. Fortunately, select auto manufacturers are jumping in by offering vehicles that can operate with either E85 or straight gasoline. Let’s ta (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Unsafe or Unfair? |
| |
| You'd have to be over 60 to remember the Corvair. As soon as I had a good paying job, I plunked down $2100. on a new 1960 Corvair Monza. I was attracted to the unusual engineering and features that no other car could claim. It had a heater that started warming your feet in 1 minute, the first comfortable bucket seats on any American car, and drove like a kiddy car around curves. The dash was simple and no nonsense, but since the Corvair was advertised as an economy car, I didn't mind the Spartan treatment. The first thing I did was rub down the Roman Red paint with white compound to a brilliant cut-glass shine, coat all the chrome (cars still had chrome bumpers) with clear lacquer, and in (read full article) |

Needless to say, an increase in oil prices will create hardships to the economy and in every person’s life. But some people state that the only way to get them to use public transport or to walk the 5 minutes to the local shop instead of driving is to price them out of using their cars for inefficie (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Alfred Sloan and GM |
| |
| Auto analysts are sure painting a terrible future for General Motors, indeed the recent Delphi bankruptcy is certainly bad news, but Alfred Sloan might have some things to say about all this. After all General Motors is certainly not the tight net-centric type company today that he built back then. Instead they have adopted the “core business” theories of modern MBA academia. Alfred Sloan would have never allowed the Unions to become so un-reality based in their demands and would have never allowed the under funded pension situation to get so far out of hand.Originally General Motors was a company of many different divisions surrounded around its military manufacturing operatio (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Delphi Delisted and Devastated in Debt |
| |
| Delphi is delisted and in debt and having filed Chapter 11, one has to wonder what this means for the auto industry.

| Article Title :: Bras, For Your Car |

Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans are all sporting bras and they are a very attractive site. Let’s take a closer look at car bras and what they are all about.Not all car bras are called car bras. Other names you will hear are hood protectors or car masks.
