New Club Showcases Old Cars in Cyberspace
Show cars are put to bed at the end of the car show season in early Fall until the season starts again in April.
But in the hearts of car enthusiasts and collectors, the show must go on.
Tonza Borden, antiques collector, has filled this niche by launching AtlantaAntiqueCarClub.com.
The web site is a virtual community that offers a showcase of seldom seen vintage motorcars, research, history, private collections, and many more things to do while you are online.
Borden did not jump on the classic car bandwagon as a wannabe'.
Her background has driven her to this destination."Old cars are in my blood," says Borden. "My father started working as a mechanic and body specialist when he was 11-years-old.
I was 11 when I started hanging out with him at the body shop.
On my 16th birthday, he bought me a used 1960 Ford Falcon."Is is no surprise that car buffs have memories of their first wheels as strong as old shoes tied to a wedding car.
It is also easy to see what the fascination for these timeless beauties are when viewing the Barrett-Jackson auction or; admiring an 80-year-old owner's prize auto that is not for sale for all the money in the world.Borden expresses that same passion for classic cars when she talks about the object of her recent love, a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura.
"It was not easy to find the favorite car of my youth nor was it in pristine condition when I bought it.
Locating spare parts and a good mechanic "willing" to work on a vintage car was no easy task, either," she says.
It was because of her search for vintage parts, "can do" service providers and love for car shows that she decided to build a web site to help this growing hobby.Fortunately, Borden has built a new Internet car club to bring old cars, parts, and car-show aficionados, of both genders together.
On AtlantaAntiqueCarClub.com, fellow car enthusiasts can display their show cars for the entire world to see, while enjoying an online car show in the comfort of their own home..

General Motors & Ford-It?s the cars ?Stupid? part II
Copyright 2006 Richard Stoyeck
We've already stated our belief that that 2007 will see Americans buying several hundred thousand less cars than they will purchase in 2006. We are looking for 16.8 million vehicle sales this year. Let's get into the numbers, and see what the implications are. When you, or I buy a car for our personal use, we pay on average about $25,000 per car. The car rental companies in the United States purchase more cars than any other group.
They buy American cars, and pay an average of $15,000 per car. We don't see any big profits from this market segment.
Let's look at the dealerships, and sort out how the Japanese do against the Americans. A Chrysler dealer last year on average sold about 225 cars. If you were a Ford dealer, you averaged almost 700 cars per dealer. GM's Chevrolet dealerships came in under 650 cars per dealer.
Would you be surprised to learn that Toyota sold more than 1600 cars per dealership last year?

Voluptuous And Safe Cars Sells - Volvo
Volvo dropped the square built of its cars in favor of something voluptuous. In the process, the automaker gained new purchasers however; it also disappointed other aficionados. Now that it has established new car trend, Volvo is positive that said metamorphosis would serve as a catalyst to make their car sell better in the industry.
S80 is an executive car, which is now the flagship car of the automaker. It was introduced in 1998 to replace S90. The brand new version is made sleeker and sexier by using curvaceous Volvo S80 parts.
A tap on its safety features, driving capabilities and ergonomics was given to enhance its benefits to the occupants.
The new Volvo S80, which was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show, features a new 3.2 L straight-6 or 4.4 L V8 engine in combination with available all wheel drive. The new car is based on the EUCD platform. It uses some of Volvo...

Lemon Laws for Used Cars are Just Around the Corner
In 1982, California became the first state to pass an automobile "lemon law" which gave owners of defective cars the opportunity to seek a replacement or a refund for a new car that had a defect that could not be repaired in a reasonable amount of time. This law proved so popular that other states soon followed suit. Less than twenty five years later, all fifty states have some sort of lemon law on their books. California may take the lead again in the protection of auto buyers as the state Assembly recently passed a "bill of rights" designed to protect buyers of used cars. This bill, which has not been signed into law, would protect buyers of used cars from deceptive lending practices, sales of lemon-law buyback vehicles, and vehicles with frame damage.
Buyers would also be allowed three days in which to cancel the deal if they changed their mind after the purchase.This bill may or may not become law, but it outlines the need for laws that cover sales of used cars as well as...

Market Shifts to Small, Flashy and Sensible Cars
Automakers have earlier placed their 2007 aces on display at the South Florida International Auto Show. Regardless of the booming complaints about high gasoline prices, fuel-saver vehicles were outshined by fast, sensible yet costly gas-guzzlers at the Miami Beach Convention Center. This shift reflects what American enthusiasts really wanted in a vehicle.
Said auto show is flocked by luxury and sports vehicles from BMW, Lexus, Dodge, Hummer, Mercedes-Benz and other auto giants. Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvettes also made a big draw. Aficionados lined up to take a glimpse of the recent ground-breaking cars.
Dealers, on the other hand, set up cameras so take photos of high-end sports cars.
Several Miami Beach residents were eyeing all-new Lexus LS460 which is priced at $64,000. On one hand, other fanatics were fascinated by Chevrolet's fuel-saving vehicles that use either gasoline or a mixture of gas and ethanol.

When you choose to print your photo panorama-style yourself, here are a few suggestions to help you:You can use paper larger than your printer specsThe size of the paper depends on the size of the slot in the printer.
