We can talk all night about any given topic. Debate, discuss, and lay down the facts, but nothing beats experiencing the live thing. Nothing tops really letting the senses feel everything, or to hear, touch, smell, taste, and to see the real deal. The axiom, "To see is to believe," is what we get when go to museums or car shows to watch and be awed by sports, exotic, luxury or classic cars that are all in display. But with Las Vegas car rentals, the right thing to say is, "To... more...

Is it the car that makes one famous? Or is it the driver who make the car famous? Or is it both? The Ford Thunderbird is an American car icon that has been manufactured in the United States from 1955 to 2005. It was Ford's response to Chevrolet's Corvette, but it was not sold as a full-blown sports car upon its debut release. Instead, Ford called it a personal luxury car, a description, which opened up an entirely new market segment at that time. At its introduction in 1955, it ... more...

It is said that the first car rental started in 1916 when a Nebraskan named Joe Saunders lent out his Model T to a traveling salesman. The salesman needed the car for a date with a local girl. Then car rentals passed some bad reputation in its history when it became associated with bootleggers, bank robbers, and prostitutes. Yes, that was a dark time in car rental history. But when the 18th amendment was repealed in 1933, the industry bounced back in prime form and eventually regained its... more...

Model cars have been around for quite some time. Even I have to admit going through the phase of putting them together. Even as I write this, I can think of a few of the boxed sets that I would love to pick up from the shelves at the local store and piece together bit by bit. I also have to admit that my patience was never good. But, as with any other thing I have ever collected, there was one thing I always did. I always sought to learn the origin of that item. What's its history? When did... more...

Yes the Beetle was so popular that Volkswagen reestablished production of the Beetle, and you can still buy a new Beetle today, allbeit a modern version of the old classic. ... more...
