Porsche 977 Bodyshell

A new Porsche 911 is always fascinating because it's interesting to see how after more than 40 years of development the Porsche team still manages to bring changes and improvements to this icon model.

The new 997 bodyshell combines the sleek modern looks of the 996 series with the popular retro styling cues from older 911s. The front end is completed with round lights and separate parking/fog/indicator lights. This change, combined with wider hips echoes the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993. Other changes in the bodyshell are the new door handles, wing mirrors and the stylish cut of the rear wings into the bumper/lights.

A Car Stereo While Driving

Listening to music on the road is a great way to take some of the pressure of driving off the driver. Studies even back up the fact that singing while the car eats up miles of road can help keep a driver alert and awake. Unfortunately, if singing were all there was to listening to the radio and driving, there probably wouldn't be as many accidents.

Singing is okay, but fumbling with CDs, taking eyes off the road to change channels or allowing a foot to tap a little too aggressively during a fun and fast song can be very bad ideas. In fact, they're the stuff accidents are made of.

2005 Porsche Carrera Gt

Unofficially, the Porsche Carrera GT is a racecar, a racecar built for the street. What makes it a racecar is not necessarily the huge power produced by its V10 engine or the carbon fiber construction that keeps everything very lightweight - although these features surely make it a fast car. It's more the sum of its parts that make this car worth every bit of its $440,000 price tag.

No Credit Car Loans

One of the biggest problems one can encounter in car loans applications is having no credit. No credit usually happens with people who are buying something for the first time. Aside from first-time buyers, students and immigrants also fall victim to the woes of having no credit.

People with no credit have a hard time finding a lender who would be willing to provide them with car loans. This is due to the fact that lenders would naturally feel wary around people with no credit since they have no assurance that the debt is going to be paid. In car loans applications, credit history is the single most important requirement and if you don't have this, then your chances of approval are slim.

Preparing For The Test Drive

You picked out a car that looks good and gave it a serious visual inspection, now it's time to take a test drive and do even more inspection. It's easy enough to inspect the vehicle while it's sitting still, but until you actually drive it you won't know if all the lights work, or anything electrical for that matter. Also, there is no way to check the gauges, brakes or anything else that requires the car to be moving. Ask the salesman to let you test drive if he has not already offered. In any case, before you actually drive the car there are some important steps to take. Prior to starting the vehicle, take a second to open the hood or get him to do it for you. Do a visual on the engine even if you know next to nothing about the inner workings of an automobile. The salesman does not need to know that, as it gives him an advantage.
