We present to you, the 2009 Solstice Coupe by Pontiac. This is the solution to the earlier dilemma of the Solstice top contraption. The newest Pontiac Solstice Coupe provides you with a breath of fresh air without the common trouble of the soft top. The roof panel is removable. The newest coupe still retained the original coupe’s concept. Now you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain when you decide to remove the roof panel. Earlier design was flawed with the roof top not fitting exactly with the car. The hard roof panel is made of magnesium frame and it just weighs around 15 kilos. Their roof panel is the only thing changed with the model, otherwise, you still get the same power and beauty as that of a roadster.

Corvette Z06 has actually been a closet fuel miser, but few people have known the reality. The Z06 is the current king of the hill ‘Vette, with a tire-shredding 500 horsepower on tap, and managed an impressive trip average of 23.4 mpg…a fast car is not automatically a gas hog.
Why is a Z06 a good buy when it comes to gas?
It’s science at work here. Weight and aerodynamic drag are two primary enemies of fuel efficiency, which explains why heavy, blunt-faced, traditional sport utility vehicles and minivans generally suck down fuel and the sleek, relatively light-weight Z06 burns conservatively.
So if you are the 40 something or 50 something baby boomer accused of buying a Corvette because of a mid-life crisis, you can retort by pointing out your Corvette gets more miles-to-the-gallon than your buddy’s Land Rover or minivan.

When we say used car, images of old, rusty vehicle instantly come to mind. That was then. Now, the term used car is hardly used. It has been replaced by CPO or certified pre-owned vehicles that refers to cars that have been used before by a legitimate owner.
The question whether to buy a new car or a CPO is a judgment call on our part. For one, buying a CPO means you’ll get to have a latest model that is about two to three years old at half the price of a brand new one. It certainly saves one a lot of money.
Second, the investment you put into a new car becomes all the more worthy when you put it into a used car. CPOs usually have good warranties and roadside assistance, among other perks. At the end of the day, it’s your preference that still matters.

I have nothing against motor bikes. I just happen to know of friends who had friend who died from motorbike-related accidents. There’s really no denying that motorbikes are more accident-prone than cars. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissuading you to get a motorcycle, it’s just that why buy one if there are other better options?
For instance, if you happen to love both motorbikes and cars, why not get a Cirbin-V13R? It is a three-wheel vehicle that has both the advantages of motorbikes and cars. Cirvin-V13R is 3.53 m long, powered by a Harley-Davidson Revolution 60° V-Twin engine and weighs only 475 kg that guarantees speed.
According to Cirbin website, the price of the vehicle starts at US$ 39,995 in the USA and Canada. For more information about the car, click here.
