It used to be that if you wanted to get a car, you had to get a new one to get a good car warranty. For the most part, used cars were as good as they are now, but no one could be sure where that car had been or what it had been put through. Today, with services that can give you the history of any car, this has changed. Today you can get used car warranties as well as for new ones. Sometimes these are all inclusive, and other times they are limited. It is important to understand what you are getting before you buy. Some warranties for used cars will only cover certain things. Some just cover the transmission, perhaps, and that warranty may be very limited. Some cover the car or parts for a year, and...

In the United States, there is a seizure law which states that if a piece of property, like a car, has been used to commit a crime, or if the property was purchased using money that was gained by committing a crime, then the property can be seized.

It's all about increasing your fuel economy - about using your fuel as sparingly as possible and making a tank last as long as possible before it needs a refill. 1. Avoid revving up and stopping suddenly. Accelerate and brake gradually as this releases fuel at a slower rate (and makes for a less stomach-churning ride). 2. Plan your journey so that it involves the quickest and most straightforward route. The less time it takes to reach your destination, the less fuel you'll burn. And the fewer the twists and...

Quickly. Estimate how much money goes into your gas tank every week. If you could keep half of your gas or diesel money in your pocket, what would you do with the money you saved every week? (I would start feeding my kids something besides baloney sandwiches!) And while I'm writing about baloney, that's exactly what we're all being fed by the oil company fat cats, and by the governments that are getting rich off of selling gas and diesel fuels and collecting taxes from gas consumers! I've been getting a lot of email lately about how to "run your car on water." For quite a while, I just figured those emails were spam and immediately deleted them without even reading one of them. Oops! Turns out I...

You don't know it at the time, but a split-second before you notice the red and blue flashing in your rear view mirror; a siren's scream makes you flinch. Your cell phone leaps from your right hand and falls to the floor. The Diet Coke can in your left hand free falls into your lap, pooling into a cold, foamy puddle in your crotch.
