3 Hot Sports Cars
The muscle car era of old is long gone, but in its place are a pack of "modern marvels" that can tear up any track! The Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, and the Nissan Z350, are all hot performers in their own right. The first two will cost you a mint, the Nissan is more in reach. Time to compare the models and let your imagination run wild.I believe it is the Kia Rio that retails for just under 10K. If you were to buy 45 Rios you would just begin to match the price of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. With an MSRP of $452,750, even a Bentley becomes a bargain.
It is quite likely, however, if you can afford this car you'll not be worrying about price. Instead, the V8 engine pushes out 671 horses, 208 mph top speed, and 3.8 seconds of zero to 60 acceleration...certain to excite you. If that is not enough, try gull wing doors, bi-Xenon headlamps, sidepipe exhaust, turbine wheels, carbon fiber bucket seats covered in leather, a 7 speaker Bose sound system, and lots more. If that still isn't enough there must be some Mercedes parts you can order!If you want performance but you are also looking for "value" than another German automaker, Porsche, may have what you want. With an MSRP of "only" $141,200 the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet does not quite live up to the SLR, but it is a speed demon nevertheless.
Horses kick out at 444, you can get to 190 mph with this baby, and reach 100 kmh [62 mph] in just 4.3 seconds. Not bad! Automatically deployed rear spoiler, awesome looking twin exhausts, digital radio with CD, telephone module, leather everywhere, and a V6 engine are some of the more notable features. Go to a Porsche parts store if you find that something you want is missing.For the proletariat -- a/k/a the average car buying consumer -- the purchase options are much greater. Besides cars like the Chevy Corvette, Cadillac XLR, Dodge Viper, and BMW M3, Nissan is offering a competitive model under the famed "Z" nameplate. With MSRP starting at $26,800, the base V6 powered and 6 speed manual tranny throws out 287 hp and will rocket you to 60 from a dead stop in just under 6 seconds.
Along with the manual tranny, the "Z" comes equipped with ABS, 3.5L 24-valve V6, CD, etc. The base model is pretty basic, but you can get more horses and more options, including a convertible for about 10 grand more. Check around for after market Nissan parts that you can get for your "Z" too.Yes, the first two cars will only find their way into select driveways, while the "Z" is more within reach of you and me. All 3 sports car are "hot" and certain to be crowd pleasers..

Crowd Prefers Small, Refined, Sporty Cars
The recent automotive reports reflect the shift of auto enthusiasts to small, refined and sporty-looking cars. As an aftermath of this striking shift, automakers are expanding their offering of significantly compact luxury crossovers and SUVs.
One of the most visible small cars on the road is BMW X3. The car is the little sibling of X5, a high-performance mid-size vehicle. In fact, it uses some of the vital BMW X5 auto parts to boost its performance.
Since X3's launch in the year 2004, BMW has sold a total of 83,500 units of said car. The sales figures have triggered other automakers to come up with their own version of the car.
One mighty rival of X3 is Acura RDX, a 5-passenger crossover that has been made available since the mid part of August. Acura RDX is also designed to respond to the driving needs of urbanites as well as the suburbanites who prefer a more sporty and stylish wagon...

If Cars Were Priced Like Prescription Drugs, You'd Pay $4.5 Million for a Family Sedan
(ContentDesk) August 17, 2005 -- If the auto industry operated like the pharmaceutical industry, cars would be sold at a 30,000% markup, dangerous cars that kill their occupants would be deemed perfectly safe, and importing cars from other countries (Toyota from Japan, for example) would be banned. These are three of the fifteen comparisons about modern medicine revealed in a wildly popular comparison report published at NewsTarget.com: http://www.newstarget.com/009844.htmlThe comparison offers stinging criticism of today's pharmaceutical industry, where deaths from FDA-approved drugs far exceed the fatalities caused by auto accidents, airplane crashes, and murderers combined. Its author, natural health advocate Mike Adams, hopes the satirical article will help open peoples' eyes to the unacceptable costs of the mass drugging of the population with synthetic chemicals."If people were dying in car crashes at the rate...

How To Jump Start a Dead Car Battery
Here are few tips and instructions on jump starting a dead battery. First things first, though. You need to inspect the dead battery. If you see any damage such as leaks or cracks. DO NOT go any further.
Put away the jumper cables and call a wrecker. A damaged battery can explode and really hurt you. If the battery looks ok, then park the cars close enough to each other for the jumper cables to reach and shut off both engines. Now make sure the terminals are not caked with corrosion. Try...
