I've always chuckled at the reactions I receive when people ask about bankruptcy auto loans, and I suggest they be open to leasing. The looks I get are a cross between “are you kidding?” and “what did you just call me?”Leasing has undergone a change in popularity since its inception. In the beginning, everyone purchased cars outright…they could do this because a) buying a car on time was not an option, b) because cars cost much less then than they do now.As options were added to cars, such as color, 2-doors or 4-doors, 5-speed or automatic, am radio or 8-track (oh, am I dating myself here?), vehicle prices begin increasing. Auto loans terms came out at 12 months...

Tired of high gas prices? Want to save the earth? Want to support local economies and clean the air while getting high performance out of your vehicle? Try Biodiesel. It's clean, sustainable, domestic, renewable AND you can make it at home!!! Wave farewell to petroleum.Amidst the hybrid hype, there has been little mention of one of the oldest 'alternative' fuels with some tremendous advantages. Invented and patented by Rudolf Diesel in 1893, diesel engines were first made to run on various vegetable oils. Thus, almost any diesel engine outfitted with the right hoses is capable of cleaner, vegan, non-petroleum based Biodiesel operation. (Most newer diesels have the right hoses).Diesels have...

Besides New York, San Francisco is the second most densely populated city in the United States. The need for public transportation in this bustling city is a must.

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. It included nearly every standard feature and option imaginable and was true to form to its intended audience.Drivers seeking a zippy little machine get exactly that. 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...

Leasing a car is not only an attractive financial offer to the majority of auto-consumers, but also a lifestyle and favorite choice.Leasing a car has four main benefits.1. Keeping up with the latest trends. Lots of people want to drive the latest models every two to three years.2. Leasing offers buying flexibility. It allows you to postpone the buying decision while using the car. At the end of your lease, you can buy the car or simply walk away.3. Leasing reduces your preliminary cash expense because you do not have to pay the large down payment required for car ownership.4. Just about every aspect of leasing is negotiable. If you know all the fees involved, you can lower your monthly payments.When...

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...

There is a secret zoo that runs encaged along the roads.They are liquid, semi-visible goliaths that rage through the streams and chunks of ordinary traffic, with the effervescent tendrils of mile-long tales whipping behind them like Chinese dragons. Though composed of hundreds of pounds of steel, glass and plastic, they are able to pass through solid objects. They are bound by the laws of the highway, but not by any conventional notion of time or space.They are Aggregate Traffic Animals: a menagerie of emergent beasts drawn from the interacting behaviours of many individual human beings driving many individual cars with many individual goals, their collective activity giving rise to something with...

It's September 10th and there I am again, driving North on the New Jersey Turnpike towards Kenilworth (this time). This is the first day of eight over the next three weeks at a company in this town off exit 11 and up the Garden State Parkway, interspersed with a couple days in Maryland, two in Connecticut and one in Manhattan. Three weeks of constantly being on the go, being busy conducting seminars and consulting.Team Building is the topic for this day, with four more to follow. How to build effective and efficient teams, communicate better, know your and your team members' strengths and weaknesses, delegate, motivate and of course have some fun along the way.What a great group of folks they are, a...

Is it me or am I the only one who was oblivious to the auto transport industry before 5 years ago? It appears to me that there are auto transport companies popping up all over the US, seemingly overnight. Where was this industry 10 years ago. In fact, I only first heard the term 'auto transport' about 5 years ago. There are a few reasons for this phenomenon. Not surprisingly, this has to do with the internet. What most people don't understand about the web is that it has spawned entire new cottage industries that just weren't all that big a decade ago. The auto transport business is a prime example of an industry like that has been rapidly tranformed (or 'put on steroids,' as a lot of my more...

I watched Roy Williams in a quite literally amazing presentation about society's 40-year Pendulum recently. His presentation was a delightful hidden bonus in the agenda from the Call to Action seminar hosted by Bryan and Jeff Eisenberg at the Wizard of Ads Academy 1 in Buda, Texas.Roy´s presentation explained a phenomenon that happens every 40 years where folks´ attitudes gradually shift over time in an opposite direction to that of the previous generation. He finished by predicting that in the next 2-3 years we´re going to see radical shifts in the way people buy and what they are influenced by. I am labeling this shift for the purposes of this article Reality Branding.The shift starts...

Car leasing online offers are an attractive alternative to traditional car leasing, offering many financial rewards in addition to the same maintenance benefits. How many people do you know who have taken out a lease on their latest car rather than the traditional route of purchasing from a dealer or through private sale? The chances are if you lived in the USA a good number of your family, friends and co-workers would have opted for a 'car leasing' arrangement, also known as contract hire. Car leasing has been popular for many years in the States and recently has become a phenomenon in the US motoring industry, now accounting for around one in four cars on the road. Driving towards a UK car leasing...

Modern technologies like the Internet have revolutionized the way many of us do business, and have opened up many opportunities for new enterprise.And yet, all of these innovations pale in comparison with the "old-fashioned" values of hard work, fair business, and sheer strength personality.The Nathan Kimmel Company, started by Nathan Kimmel in 1956, is an prime example of how one family's hard work, lead by a memorable man with an unwavering philosophy of how to do business, laid the foundation for a company that continues to thrive a half century later.From the garage of the family home, with a bundle of surplus parachutes purchased from Douglas Aircraft to one of the largest women owned companies...

In my experience and research, I've found that viral marketing can be a positive or negative advertising method. Some companies use it correctly while others let campaigns turn negative and spiral out of control. And some people believe that viral marketing campaigns are so expensive that only big companies can implement them on larger scales. This, however, is entirely untrue as viral marketing can work for any size business. This article will define viral marketing, describe how it works, and discuss examples and strategies for small businesses.The specific definition of viral marketing differs from person to person. However, everyone generally agrees that viral marketing is an advertising method...

While negotiating the auto route and back roads of France during the month of July for the past several years, no vehicle has appeared more confident on the road than the Volkswagen Passat.The European version looked different than the U.S. models I'd seen, but the Passats scooting down the highway and being adeptly driven through city traffic never got close enough for me to get a better look.The newly designed 2006 Passat available in the United States, however, looks more like the European version. And after a weekly test drive of the 3.6-liter, 280-horsepower, V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission, it was easy to understand why the vehicle is so popular in Europe.From a design perspective...

A very clever design: the Honda Super Cub was the combination of a moped and a scooter. It attracted many people due to its friendly and non intimidating look. People who before had felt threatened by bigger motorcycles, approached and adopted this model very quickly.It was a versatile motorcycle and had enough power to carry two passengers or a passenger with luggage. 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...

Sooner or later we all must buy a car. And when we can, we buy them brand new. However, most of us are stuck having to a buy a used car from a dealer or private party at some point. The downside to this is that you can get a car that at first seems like everything you ever wanted, but soon becomes your worst nightmare. What I have come to learn is that by the time that you begin to realize that you have a lemon on your hands, it is usually too late. The car has already outlived its 90 day warranty which is often filled with loopholes for the dealer anyway. What does this mean for you? If you're like most people, you're thinking to yourself, "it means you're screwed." However, read on. Most people...

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...

Here's some advice on the matter, from a freelance copywriter who knows: it pays to learn the basics of HTML.If you're like me (stubborn), you've probably been dodging HTML for many years.
