The trunk was open when one friend walked by and the hood was popped open when two other friends meandered by."If I took off my front wheel, OK maybe both wheels, I could get my bike in the trunk, no problem," one friend said. "That's a spacious trunk for a mid-sized car."My two other friends were more impressed with the powerful and efficiently designed engine."Look where everything is; it's easy access, for sure," he said. "Even if you know nothing about cars, you can find everything. It would be hard to put the oil where the transmission fluid goes. And it's like what we used to call a 'Muscle Car' engine when we were growing up."And so it goes with the 2004 Honda Accord...

The slightly better mileage means that if you keep your hybrid car for from 3 to 5 years you may make up for the higher cost. That doesn't seem like such a good deal, does it? But it's all we have and that's why folks are buying the darn...

Look for any scratches on the paint, on the dash board, upholstry and any other spot you car see. Look under the hood! Is there fresh paint that does not match other areas under...

Fuel Cell cars are the cars of the future. A lot of research has been done with electric cars, but until the battery costs go down, the driving range goes up and the weight of the batteries goes down, this will not be an option for the general public, unlike the popular hybrid cars. A hybrid car has a gas engine and an electric engine. The gas can continually recharge the electric batteries.In a fuel cell car, the fuel used is compressed or liquid hydrogen.

I am labeling this shift for the purposes of this article Reality Branding.The shift starts...
