One of the blights of owning a flashy sports car is the large amount of gasoline they consume. Unlike the larger, bulky vehicles that consume a lot of gas due to their size, sports cars usually burn a lot of gas due to fast accelerations and all around fast driving. With the price of gas going up all over the country, the fun of owning a sports car is quickly diminished when it comes time to visit the pump. In order to reduce a bit of the hurt that these sports cars and do to your wallet, keep t... more...

Baby boomers make up one of the largest markets for sports cars today. This generation found itself buying cheap economy cars to get to work and back in their younger years, and had to settle for a bulky station wagon when the kids came along. Therefore, with an empty nest and some extra retirement money on hand, this group of people is finally able to purchase the sports cars that they have dreamed of owning their entire lives. There still remains the question though, of how to purchase the veh... more...

More than 100 Americans die every day in automobile accidents. In fact, over the last century, more have perished due to car crashes in the United States than in all the wars the country has fought. Although this is a horrible statistic, the 2006 Traffic Safety Annual Assessment from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported the largest U.S. decline in terms of both number and percentage since 1992. This vigorous reduction is a goal that automotive engineers are strivi... more...

I would like to share a very personal experience with you. It is a tearful tale about a hot hatch that had its beginnings in a world of genuine chamois and finished its life as a burned out wreck. Lonely and dejected, this poor car ended its mechanical life without a trace of dignity and a far cry from the plush beginnings of immaculately paved driveways and privet hedges. In 2004 I had the utter displeasure of breaking down on the M25. My Space Wagon decided that the engine was to wor... more...

If you are out to purchase the sports car of your dreams, it may be in your best interest to purchase a CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. In order to understand what this term means, it is important to know a bit about the used car business. When a dealership offers a trade in for a used car, they will keep it if it is in good condition and has value, and dispose of it if it is not worth much. In the past, used cars have not been appointed much respect. They were often seen as piles of junk t... more...

Sports cars can be such fast and flashy vehicles that while driving them one forgets to make safety a main concern. It is true that vehicles are safer than they have ever been, but the safety rating a vehicle possesses should be a large concern of yours. One way in which factories can test the safety of a vehicle is through crash tests. Actually, in order for a vehicle to be legally sold in the United States, it must pass a 30 mile per hour front crash test and a 33.5 mile per hour side crash te... more...

Well it may sound metaphorical but yes your car will also need a shiny exterior and an interior that races at high speed, just like you! Well till now all you may have heard about maintaining your car is that: Maintain a steady speed of 60mph and your car will run smooth for a longer period. Use the correct gas needed for your car.

Remember that scene from "Jeepers and Creepers", the bugs squished on the windscreen and the dreaded animal throwing devoured body parts at your car?!!
