When Can You Order New 2010 Camaro?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

NOW!

Dealerships all across the US are now accepting orders for the 2010 Chevy Camaro.  Even though the economy is down 2010 is far enough away hopefully things would have bounced back and you can be one of the first behind the wheel of your newly designed Camaro.

$22,245 will buy you the 300 horsepower V-6 model or for the 400 horsepower V8 it's $30,245.  Not that it's worth talking about, if you are considering plunking down this kind of money, but the V6 reportedly gets 27 miles per gallon and the V8 2010 Camaro will get 23.  Hard to believe, but hell, I was sold on the new Camaro from the get go.

So, if you were one of those asking when can I place an order for the new Camaro, well the time is now.  Get in line.

LEED Certified Toyota Dealership

LEED Certified Toyota Dealership

Toyota announced today the opening of the nations first 'Green' Toyota Dealership in the Western USA.  Mark Miller Toyota had their grand opening today marking the first Toyota dealership to LEED-Certified.

"Anyone familiar with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive knows there is a screen that shows the car's energy use over a time period. We'll have the same sort of panel inside the dealership that shows the building's energy use over the last half hour or so," added Miller.

Being LEED-Certified means that Mark Miller Toyota built their facility using the latest environmental technologies for a 'greener' work environment.  This translates into parts of the building being made from recycled materials, installation of high efficient cooling heating and cooling systems, and high speed service doors that cut down on the amount of air released from the building during opening and closing.

SVT Focus Is An Alternative

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Tired of seeing all the foreign rice rockets on the road, want to have something a little different but just as potent, then check out the Ford SVT Focus.  The SVT Focus provides some of the best handling of any small size car and since they have been out for awhile you can get them for a deal, often times in the $5,000 range and well preserved models for less than $10,000.

These little cars are a blast to drive thanks to their peppy 4 cylinder and 6 speed manual transmission.  In addition, their suspension show's off that American's can create good handling cars as well.  All things considered an SVT Focus is a great car to have in this economy and high gas price times, where a little bit of pep, great handling, and a fun ride don't have to cost a lot up front or at the pump.

The teen years are filled with a number of firsts and it is wise to know everything you can about different occasions that will arise when being a teenager. One of the best parts of being in that certain age group is learning how to drive. When one turns fifteen in the state of California, they are eligible for driver education training. It is required in the state of California to pass a driver education course before attaining your permit, which allows one to get behind the wheel of a car.

Many kids are now choosing to take this class online for several different reasons. Taking the online California driver education course has several advantages for both the teenager and the parent. Parents are benefited because they don´t have to maneuver their schedules all around to try and cart their child to and from class. They can also supervise their child as they complete the course on the computer. For teenagers, they can work at their own pace and on their own schedule. Online driving education classes work around the clock and when a teen can work at his or her own pace, they have a better chance of comprehending the material. In addition, a teen can work in the comforts of their own home and not be pressured by the classroom environment.

When a child completes this course, online or in a classroom, they are then eligible to take a DMV test which awards them their permit if passed. Most teens do not pass this test the first time so it is well advised that the teen studies hard before conducting this test. When a teen passes the written test and vision test at the DMV, the teen can then begin to drive. A licensed adult, twenty five years or older, has to be in the passenger seat though. A minimum of fifty hours behind the wheel with your parent or adult is required before taking the driver licensed test. Six hours of driving time with a driving instructor is also required before attempting to drive with a driving professional at the DMV.

When a teenager has completed this entire driving education process, they will then have a driver´s license. There are countless things teens look forward to when they are in that age group. One of those things is learning how to drive and then driving. When one has finished the California drivers ed course and training process, they can then drive.

Almost everywhere you go in the entire world there are cars zipping along here and there going from place to place. In order to be one of those people who are driving these a cars around, one must pass the driver education training course before jumping behind the wheel.

One way to begin Texas driver education is to attend a state approved driver´s education course.

Toyota Prius The Greenest Award

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

The Toyota Prius hybrid car has won the 'Greenest Technology' Award at the British Techology Awards.  Talk about a mouthful of crap, award, award, award.  Ironically this green technology was found right along the likes of the Apple iPhone, BBC iPlayer, and Nintendo Wii.

The vote was taken online and in the UK the Prius gets all kinds of rockstar lavish treatments.  For example, a Prius owner gets a break on their parking permits.  I'm sure this huge discount on a parking permit offsets the incredibly high price tag of early adoption.

New Nissan GT-R Coming To Sydney

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Sydney, Austraila will be getting access to an all new Nissan GT-R super car and I just have to say it is AMAZING.  This all new GT-R is hot, drips of speed, handling, and everything that made the GT-R of the past legendary on the Nurburgring.

The new Nissan GT-R will be available in two different flavors, a GT-R and a GT-R Premium, $148,800 and $152,800 respectively.  Also, you won't be able to purchase the GT-R at just any Nissan dealership, there will only be 11 locations available to buy.  These special dealerships are Nissan approved High Performance Centers.

This new Nissan carries a hefty promise, to be the fastest mass-production car in the world.  After looking at what's under the hood and the transmission paired it's easy to see how it might actually be able to back it up.  The GT-R rocket will be pushed down the road by a hand built twin turbo 6 cylinder and paired to the first ever independent all wheel drive transmission.

The GT-R is powered by a hand-built twin-turbo VR38DETT 3.8-litre V6 engine delivering a mighty 353kW and 588Nm across a wide mid-range expanse from 3,200rpm to 5,200rpm.

It also introduces the world's first independent rear transaxle all-wheel drive system. The GR6 sequential six-speed has paddle shift control for the dual clutch rear transaxle, while drive to the wheels is via the electronically-controlled ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system.

Itching to get your hands on one, good luck, Nissan is only expecting to produce about 200 units in the first year.  No doubt the demand for one of the most accessible super cars in the world will be high, so start making friends at the limited number of dealerships early.
