2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX - Simply the Best Car for Its Price


Ever since the Evo IX came out I've been a fan, even like it better then the newest one. This car is extremely fast, talking from experience, handles well, but feels like you are in a aluminum can. But hey, for the price you can buy it, I would rather get it then a Lambo that will lose to it in a race, considering your paying $100k plus for a Lambo. This car for sure is a win in its class.

2011 Toyota Diesel Dually Coming Soon to USA

















Edmunds.com has announced that the 2010 model Tundra will feature a 4.5L diesel engine as an option. Provided some rough fuel economy and performance numbers.

Estimated hp: 300 @ 3500 RPM
Estimated torque: 500 lb-ft @ 1600 RPM
Estimated MPG: 22 MPG (both city and highway)

Edmunds.com also announced that the HD Tundra will debut in 2011 or 2012, and that it will feature a 7.0L diesel. We were unable to confirm this. Frankly, it seems a little optimistic considering the current market. Still, it's intriguing information.

You can learn more about the 4.5L in our story, as well as see a video of the engine here:

4.5L Diesel Tundra Confirmed, Bigger Diesel Coming? | tundraheadquarters.com

Our best guess is that the new 4.5L diesel will cost an extra $5k to $6k, which means a new Tundra Limited Crew 4x4 with the diesel may cost as much as $50k!

Exciting times - the Tundra diesel is coming soon!

2012 Mustang Boss 302













The Boss returns! Limited production 2012 MustangBoss 302 set to become the quickest, best-handling straight-production Mustang ever offered by Ford, based on the world-class foundation provided by the 2011 Mustang GT.

Led by Mike Harrison, the V8 engine team approached Boss from the top down: With 412 horsepower from 5.0 liters, the 2011 GT engine was already an incredible performer. But to achieve the high-rpm horsepower that would make the engine competitive on the track, a new intake was essential. The resulting runners-in-the-box plenum/velocity stack combination the engine team developed was impressive enough that it got the green light after one short drive.

Most Cars Per Capita


While it's a little surprise that the United States has the most cars per capita, the actual ratio is still pretty surprising. Specifically, the United States boasts the most motor vehicles per person, with 765 cars for every 1,000 people in the country. Rounding out the rest of the top 5 countries:
  • Luxembourg - 686
  • Malaysia - 641
  • Australia - 619
  • Malta - 607
That's a lot of cars, but what happens to all of those autos when they reach the end of the road?

5 Things Your Car Should Say About You


A car speaks volumes about its owner.

A top Mercedes talks of a high powered and driven individual. A boy racer cover in stickers suggests learning difficulties.

You don’t have to own the most expensive car on the road, but here are five qualities your ride should say about you.

Style

A great looking car is like a beautiful woman. They turn heads and make every guy in the room (or in this case on the road) jealous with envy.

But it all comes to nothing if the man behind the wheel is unshaven and doesn’t use an iron, let alone own one.

Looking after your appearances doesn’t take much effort and the results are huge. Not only do you feel more confident as a person, everyone around you will respect you for it.

Power

A powerful car is going places, and so is the owner.

There is something incredibly exciting about powerful cars. Maybe it’s the roar of the engine, or the knowledge that putting your foot down will leave those around you in the dust.

Being powerful, and being around powerful people, is a thrilling experience. Powerful people are normally confident risk takers and prove to be very interesting company.

Fill your life with proactive people who are constantly empowering themselves and you’ll find that, as a person, you will grow considerably. They will challenge and test you, and you’ll be all the better for it.

Integrity

The most important quality of any car is the knowledge that every time you turn the key, the engine will start.

There is nothing more stressful or irritating then an unreliable car, the same goes for people.

If people know you will deliver on your promises time and time again they will love you for it.

Having integrity is important in all walks of life, from your career to your relationships and down to the knowledge that at the end of the day you can rely on yourself.

Confidence

Some cars just ooze confidence.

They’re powerful, stylish, over deliver every time and they dam well know it.

Being confident is such an admired trait, because it is so rare. Confident people are 1 in a 100 and they often provoke jealosy and admiration because they have something that everyone wants, yet is in such short supply.

No matter your job or income, if you know that you’re a good a person who tries to better themselves on a regular basis, you have every right to be confident.

Ambition

The mark of every great car, and person, is ambition.

Both are willing to take risks, try something new and push themselves to the limit.

They are often goal orientated, driven and know what they want from life.

This doesn’t necessarily mean being the fastest car on the road or climbing the corporate ladder. It means you are willing to push yourself, be constantly learning and stick to your beliefs.

In many ways without ambition, all of the other qualities listed here, will suffer.

Levels of Stress


You pick up a hitch hiker, a beautiful young girl. Suddenly she faints inside your car and you take her to the hospital.

Now that's stressful.

But at the hospital, they say she is pregnant and congratulate you that you are going to be a father.

You say that you are not the father but the girl says you are.

This is getting very stressful.

So then... you request a DNA test to prove that you are not the father.

After the tests are completed, the doctor says you are infertile, and probably have been since birth.

You are extremely stressed but relieved.

On your way home, you think about your 3 kids.
NOW THAT'S STRESS!
