Volvo P1800: A Giant Leap for Volvo

Volvo P1800: A Giant Leap for Volvo
by: Kenneth McKinley
The very first sports car that Volvo had produced was the Volvo P1900. It was considered to be an automobile tragedy for it did not do well. In fact, it was only able to sell a skimpy sixty eight units. Despite the downfall of Volvo’s first attempt at producing and manufacturing a sports car, the company still has taken a great leap so as to design and craft another sports vehicle. And this was the very reason for the Volvo P1800. This vehicle started as a project in the year 1957.
The person who was behind the project on the Volvo P1800 was Helmer Petterson. Petterson was an engineering consultant in the company and he was also responsible for the Volvo PV 444. The actual design aspect of the Volvo P1800 was crafted by Petterson’s son, Pelle Petterson. The company that Pelle Petterson worked for was also the company who built the very first prototypes of the Volvo P1800. Of course, the prototypes were named differently. The first three prototypes held the designations P958 X1, P958 X2, and P958 X3.
Ever Hear of US Gov’t GSA Public Auto Auctions??

Ever Hear of US Gov’t GSA Public Auto Auctions??
by: Bruce Dinger
Although you may not have heard of this type of auction before, GSA
auctions have been around for a while and are a good place to get a
great deal on a vehicle.
GSA stands for General Service Administration.
It is an agency in the US government that, according to acting
Director David Bibbs, “is to help other US agencies better serve the
public by meeting their needs for products and services, and, to
(help) simplify access to government information and services.”
One of the services they provide are auto auctions.
So why does GSA sell vehicles?
GSA purchases vehicles “in bulk”, i.e., it purchases “bunches” of
vehicles at once and then leases them out to different government
agencies. When the lease expires, these vehicles are sold to the general
public at GSA auctions, which allows the GSA to re-coup some of their
expenses and re-invest in more vehicle purchases.
Benefits of purchasing a vehicle at a GSA auction:
1.) American made vehicles - trucks, cars, SUV, police car, buses
Preventing Your GPS Kit From Being Stolen

Preventing Your GPS Kit From Being Stolen
by: Francis Ononye
Satellite navigation units make driving a lot easier as they hold digital maps and use a network of satellites in space to pinpoint your location and they provide turn by turn directions to get you to your destination usually through audible signals.
Satellite navigation kits also known as GPS units are now so popular that they are now seen as must-have gadgets. This has led to an increase in thefts and car break-ins as these units are attractive to thieves.
Often what the vehicles owner does is usually to remove the satellite navigation unit from the windscreen holder and put it inside the glove box compartment of the vehicle while leaving the holder still attached to the windscreen. This is not really a very good idea because it leaves a telltale sign that the vehicle has a Gps unit which could lead to a potential break-in.

Ford GT 2005 Car Review
by: Andrew Kier
When I approach an exotic car that can go 204 MPH with a roof line that is only as high as my belt, I have low ergonomic expectations. I’ll probably get some bruising from the suspension and hopefully be distracted by the acceleration to forget how uncomfortable everything else is. I was only right about the acceleration.
The Ford GT is the remake of the 1966 Le Mans champion car called the GT40. The original GT40 was a great looking car, but this new GT has a spectacular exterior design. I’m normally quick to whine about a benign design concept, or a trunk line or the shape under the front bumper, or at least some little picky thing. But the more I looked around this car, the more admiration I have for this work of art. And the designers & engineers had to factor in stable aerodynamics at 200 MPH that would have flipped the original model on its top.
A Brief History About The Original Jeep

A Brief History About The Original Jeep
by: Al Oberm
While the Jeep is famous in its history of serving the US military there is some misunderstanding concerning who created the original Jeep. Many incorrectly attribute the development of the first Jeep to Willys. The true inspiration of the first Jeep design came from a small and relatively unknown company by the name of the American Bantam Car Company based in Butler, PA.
The American Bantam Car Company was first established as a subsidiary of the Austin Car Company, a British car manufacturer, and was originally called American Austin Car Company. Austin made a small and economical car called the Austin Seven, which was very popular in England. Unfortunately for the Austin Car Company, the Austin Seven never saw popularity here in the states and the American Austin Car Company nearly went bankrupt. It was eventually taken over by its Chairman who changed its name to the American Bantam Car Company (Bantam). Bantam took the original Austin Seven design and made a number of improvements. It was a slightly bigger version than its British cousin and was capable of longer drives.

Techie Truckers
by: Mike Dobson
Not only do truckers drive on the open roads but they also travel down the information super highway! Technology gives truckers a big boost in many areas and has made life a lot easier or at least more tolerable when they are away from home.
Trucking software makes all the bookkeeping and paperwork easier to handle and stay organized. Laptop computers help with keeping in touch with family, friends and even the trucking company they work for. Cell phones and satellite radio help keep an ear open to the world beyond the road well-traveled.
Let’s talk some more about these technological tools for truckers these days. Trucking companies are installing more and more Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in their trucks. These little technological wonders are great in providing detailed directions, down to the last turn. However, they are only as good as the trucking software that goes with it. Road conditions, traffic and detours are not updated often enough so truckers run into occasional problems when using their GPS. Overall though, they are worth the expense.
Bmw 330i 2006 Car Review

Bmw 330i 2006 Car Review
by: Andrew Kier
I have to reveal up front that I own an older 3-series BMW, so I am quite aware of its abilities and drawbacks. And as many different types of cars that I drive, I am always happy to return to my baby. But when I got behind the wheel of the new 330i (Edmunds pricing at $39,184) I could tell that this machine was a sharp step up in performance within a quarter mile.
At my first ride in the driver’s seat, I couldn’t get over the ergonomics of the steering wheel. Every car has one, and I’ve handled a few unusual ones, but my grip has never felt more at home than with this 330i. (Unfortunately, it wasn’t a heated steering while like the 7-series, and it was quite cold outside.) Then BMW mates this steering wheel with very precise steering for a sedan-level car.
Some Truckers Are A Class “A” Act

Some Truckers Are A Class “A” Act
by: Mike Dobson
There are some truckers that are in a class all of their own. Driving a big truck or semi-tractor trailer over thirty thousand pounds requires a special license - a Class A license. This is like the big leagues of truck driving. Those Class “A” truckers all had to earn their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) first before securing that Class “A” status. So what exactly is involved in earning that Class A license? Let’s find out…
First of all, as mentioned above, truckers have to earn their CDL first. And depending on the state in which you live, there are a certain amount of years you have to hold a CDL license before being eligible to earn a Class A license. In addition, obtaining a Class A license means heading back to truck driving school and the classroom for more instruction, as much as six to eight weeks. Truckers who are licensed Class A often drive those large trucks like the tankers or ones that handle hazardous materials. And because that load is more difficult, additional instruction is necessary in order to learn how to deal with it.
