Gasoline is a great fuel for cars and other motor vehicles. It delivers lots of energy in a small volume, is (or was) readily available, and because it is a liquid, it is pretty easy to work with. But gasoline comes with some big drawbacks too. It is a limited resource. Burning it causes pollution. And it is starting to cost an awful lot of money. What the world needs is some other liquid fuel that contains lots of energy, is readily available, and is easy to work with. Water would be ide... more...

In many ways, hydrogen is the ideal fuel. It can deliver lots of energy when it burns, and its clean. Burn hydrogen and you get water instead of the gunk that comes out of a car's tailpipe. It would be great to run cars on hydrogen. But there are problems. Storing large quantities of hydrogen can be hard, and the stuff can be volatile in an accident - remember the Hindenberg? Even so, there is a safe way to use hydrogen to power cars today. And it works with most of the cars on the road rig... more...

The more you notice about your vehicle, the more likely you will be able to head off repair problems. Is there a little stain or a drop of fluid under your vehicle? It may mean absolutely nothing. But you do want to check the wet spots immediately, just to make sure. What color is the fluid under your car? Yellowish green, pretty blue or neon orange colors indicate an overheated engine or an antifreeze leak caused by a bad hose, water pump or leaking radiator. A dark brown or black oil... more...

What are the reasons that a private seller of a luxury/exotic automobile succeed or fail? The answers are really quite simple yet baffling.

They believe they have a luxury/exotic car that the world will come beating at their door or phone or email to buy. The fact is, they just don't know the industry and how to capitalize on it. Sell... more...

The concept of water undergoing some miraculous change that allows it to be used as fuel seems like science fiction to most consumers today. Despite the once popular steam engine and the current use of water to fuel turbines and generators in nuclear power facilities and energy corporations, many can't grasp its use as fuel for the common automobile. The idea of a car that runs on water seems absurd. Yet today you can buy kits that use water as fuel (to supplement the gasoline) in standard ... more...

You might think that whatever make or model of car you have, auto insurance claims will be similar - and therefore, so will premiums. We all expect to pay more to insure a $200,000 Lamborghini than an ordinary Chevy or Ford sedan because parts are expensive, the car is likely to get stolen, and you are more likely to have an accident driving it fast. But surely the cost on insuring one 4.0 liter four-door sedan is the same as another? Not so. Even among ordinary cars and suvs, all autos are not ... more...

Driving should be something fun and safe and not scary and dangerous if we only practice simple things relating to defensive driving. These things are not so hard to do as they are merely matters of routine and d... more...
