Those of us who are in classic car clubs, regardless of model or make, decide to become members for any given number of reasons. Perhaps we owned a particular car in our youth that brings back fond memories of cruising the streets on Friday nights. Maybe we remember going to Drive-in movies with our date's head resting on our shoulder. Perhaps it was simply the sound of our particular car's engine, which could range from anything to a soft purr or a horsepower-laden monsterous growl as we rolled down the highway. Perhaps some of us are too young to have experienced the era in which these cars roamed the earth, but we have nevertheless been influenced by our elders and appreciate what once was...

If I suggested that you drive to a place you have not visited before, without a map or a clear set of directions, you would probably tell me it was a bad idea. Why? Because without one of these tools it is likely you would get lost, arrive late, or perhaps never arrive at all.It seems obvious, if you are not sure how to get to your destination, you need a map! And yet, every day I meet business owners who drive their businesses with no map nor a clear set of directions. The result - they get lost, fail to meet their objectives, or fail completely. As a small business owner, you need a business plan! Without it, you are traveling blind.Get Started Now!Do not put off writing your plan for someday...

Venecia Davis, "The Great Wall of Champions on Jackrabbit Road," Touchstone, vol. XIX (2000), 39-47.This article examines the development of the Cypress Creek golf course and the Champions clubhouse and the factors that necessitated the construction of a sound attenuation wall along FM 1960. In the mid 1950s, two professional golfers, Jimmy Demaret and Jack Burke, Jr., decided to become partners in a golf course in Houston. An attorney friend suggested they buy a five hundred tract of land along FM 1960, which was about twenty-two miles from Houston. Although Demaret and Burke bought the land, they did not plan to build their golf course there at that time. They changed their mind after learning...

Despite today's never-ending talk about globalization and the merging of world cultures, German cars still have a personality all their own. But like most strong personalities, the distinct flavor of Teutonic automobiles isn't a favorite with everybody. While the typical German car's smooth, refined manners are impressive, such machines can seem a little too slick feeling for some -- they tend to be a bit isolating, sterile, chilly. Count me among believers of the latter. I generally like cars to have more soul than the usual Bahn-stormer delivers. But that's why I found the new Audi A3 to be such a pleasant surprise. It's as friendly feeling as a Japanese sports sedan, without giving up the sense...

Golf courses to restaurants, the quaintness of the small towns to the Pacific Ocean, there's nothing quite like a visit to the Monterey Peninsula. But the 200-mile drive from Sacramento is also an ideal route for testing cars. The high-speed interstate to narrow city streets, there's no place to hide a car's faults and there are plenty of opportunities for a vehicle to showcase its best attributes.My weekly test drive on a recent visit to the Monterey Peninsula was the 2006 Volkswagen Passat. It's available in three versions, the 4-cylinder Value Edition and 2.0T (turbocharged) models and the higher performance V6 marketed as the sports model.I drove the 2.0T, which was plenty sporty and responsive...

Its large diameter tires and wide seats made the ride almost as comfortable as the touring bikes from that time.>> Honda 50cc Cub and Super Cub FACTS- In 1952 Honda built 7000 units of this bike which represented the 70% of the entire production of Japanese motorcycles for that year.- Thanks to this model Honda Motorcycles were...

A typical family sedan has a co-efficient of drag of about .31). The Insight's...

A vehicle consists of many different parts. Some of these parts any person will recognize. Other parts however, are not so obvious. People who love to fix their cars will know even the weirdest or most secret part of a car, parts that 'ordinary' people haven't even heard about. Have you ever heard about a car rim? Although this is no secret part, it is probably not the part most people talk about among all the vehicle parts there is. So, if you didn't know it, I'll reveal it to you right now. Car rims are the metal parts of a car that sit in the middle of each wheel. There rims are not the same for each car by any means, and if you want to buy some alternative rims for your car, they can be...

In 1938, when Harley Earl designed the Buick Y-Job, the auto industry would never be the same. The said car became the first concept and the first of the numerous concept vehicles to this day. Concept cars or show cars are generally designed to demonstrate a new concept whether in the design, performance or features. These are commonly displayed on auto shows where car manufacturers can gauge the level of acceptance among the countless auto show attendees. These vehicles are considered to be some of the best looking cars given the fact that they are designed not for production meaning car makers can spend a lot of money in producing a single prototype. In recent memory, there are at least ten...

As a member of a car club I often wonder what inspires others like myself to join such an organization. Certainly the cameraderie, the sense of being part of a big family, is an important factor. The club I belong to is devoted to all Volkswagens, old and new. The question for others fascinated with these cars is, What got us interested in Volkswagens in the first place? There are probably as many stories of inspiration as there are dandelions in my front yard every Spring. With that said, here is mine.I was born in 1959, and my memory goes as far back as 1962, when I was about two and a half years old. In those days generally only one parent was the breadwinner, as was the case with my father. We...

Matched against the best-selling subcompact models offered by Ford, Honda and Toyota, the Jetta is Volkswagen's best-selling line.Combined with the nearly identical Golf, more than 40 models of the vehicle are offered, including several 20th anniversary special editions.I drove the 1.8-liter, 180-horsepower, turbo-charged 4-cylinder GTI anniversary edition for my weekly test.

From its bright "Tomato Red" exterior and black-and-gray interior, the Jetta is more sports car than subcompact and it couldn't be more conspicuous...

Buying a new car is exciting to be sure, but it can also be much more expensive than it really should be for most people. If you aren't careful you can wind up spending thousands more than someone else for the same kind of deal. Let's review the top 5 new car buying mistakes that many people make and see how to avoid them.1.

Everyone wants to get a good deal on their next vehicle (who wouldn't...right?).

Two examples are eBay Motors and Yahoo Auctions. There are many aspects of online auctions that are...

Some say that you are what you eat. The same can apply to furniture. You are as cool as your furniture is trendy. The type of furniture you choose, the color, style and look can make or break a room's appeal. But more than that: the furniture you choose to place in your bedroom, the furniture you sleep on or dress in front of, can truly impact on your mood, self esteem, relationships and general lifestyle.The trendier a piece of furniture may be, the trendier you will feel. Of course, one piece of trendy or cool furniture doesn't always solve the problem of a nondescript looking room, but one piece of furniture will automatically change the feel of a room, be it the bedroom or the kitchen. You'll...

I drive a 2003 Volkswagen Passat. Yesterday I was making a long trip home and about 20 minutes into the trip the car said it was overheating. The coolant level was fine, and as soon as we would pull over the temperature would drop back to normal (before we even got to a complete stop.) Later in the trip it stopped cooling down when we would pull over and there was a sort of popping/gurgling noise that sounded like it was sort of behind the dash.Took it to the mechanic today and they have cleaned the radiator, checked the head gasket, etc. and they are baffled.Any ideas? Hi there, The VERY first thing that needs to be done is a "cooling system pressure test" this will determine if there is a coolant...

For the first nineteen years of my life I lived in the same town in my parents home. Whatever home decor there was interested me little, it was just there. Then I went to Italy for a year and lived with an Italian Duke and his family. They lived in a villa in Rome. There I noticed the home decor. The rooms were huge. The Duchess had a penchant for elaborate baroque wall mirrors. They were everywhere, with the rest of the home decor to match. Most days the gardener cut arms full of fresh flowers. I often helped to carry them because I liked to follow him around so that I could look at the classical art statue sculptures and fountains. They, and marble benches, strategically placed between the trees...

The other day I was in the playground with my friend and her daughter when I noticed a father and child playing nearby. The child stretched out her arms to be lifted by her father and when he bent down to pick up his child his face had an expression of severe pain. Only later I realized that the gentleman has been suffering from an acute back pain for the past few years. This got me thinking about how little attention we may to these minor things in life till the time they blow up to a major illness. Minor things like a back pain can make us lose out on precious moments of joy without us realizing the consequences. Chronic back ache, cervical problems and such other pains are mostly a result of the...
