Buying a car has changed over the years. No longer do you have to go from car lot to car lot to find that perfect car. No more spending your week-ends car shopping. Years ago car shopping was a big thing. Having a car wasn't as casual or as necessary as it is today. People in town walked or took the bus. Hummer put together a very intriguing concept vehicle when it put out the HX. This SUV has a removable roof, can be transformed from a short bed pickup to a convertible and then back to the traditional square Hummer. This vehicle is geared for a younger crowd that wants versatility and I think they accomplished it. Saturn had a winner as well with its compact SUV, the Saturn Vue. This vehicle is a 2-mode hybrid and will be available later this year. It was a show stopper with its fuel economy and is pleasant to look at.

If you are one of those hard-working people who like to drive in style in their trucks, then here is one just for you. Previously the GMC Sierra Denali was only available as a luxury light duty pick-up. That has now changed with the Heavy Duty line slated for 2011. It features a four-bar chrome perforated grille and ride on an all new chassis. There will be chrome accents on the doors and door handles. Inside will have a Bose audio system, power-adjustable pedals, 12-way power seats and brushed aluminum trim. This is the first time the luxurious Denali trim will be offered on one of GMC's toughest trucks. site It's no secret that Jay Leno beat out David Letterman when it was time for NBC to replace the retiring Johnny Carson in 1992. But, did you know since the six foot tall comedian started hosting "The Tonight Show" that he rarely takes a day off? One of his many cars can most always be seen parked in his reserved "#1" parking place at the NBC Studio in Burbank. And, on top of doing the show, Jay Leno still manages to perform more than 150 standup comedy gigs a year. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car. To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of sick. It can seem useless in the winter to wash your buy old jeep truck. If it's just going to hail iceberg sized chunks, what is the point? But you'd be surprised what a nice coat of wax and a regular wash can do for your body. Just like your own figure, you like to shower, primp, and style on a daily basis. Don't deprive your F150 the same maintenance. Salt does a number on the frame, but ice, cinders, and snow can also be hazardous to the body. If you clean underneath the truck and in the wheel wells frequently, you'll prevent long term damage. That's something that a lot of married couples don't think about. Yes. You and the person you married are legally bound to one another. Your spouse (unless you legally put someone else in charge) will be the one they ask permission from if they ever have to pull the plug on you. Your spouse will get your social security money in the event of your passing. It didn't bother me that my wife had all these legal rights as my wife but it bothered her. She doesn't want me or any one else having legal powers over her. I know that $20,900 is a goodly sum of money, but in 13 years we more than doubled our money. And that is looking at just the financial aspect of it. The many wonderful hours we had working on something together that we both love, you can't even put a price tag on that.
