Scion Suggests

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

The hypermiling scion consultants at Toyota also suggest being aware of the weight of your vehicle.  You should not have extra weight in the car, as the excessive poundage takes more fuel to pull it. Autos with air conditioners should always keep the windows up at all times to increase the aerodynamic efficiency. 

Lemon Laws

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

So I think I’ve been ripped off, and I’m going to have to look into the local lemon laws. Seriously, I’m sick and tired of businesses trying to break it off in their customers, and I’m not putting up with it any more.
I’ve been reading up on the specific Florida Lemon Laws that apply in this situation, and I have every confidence that I’m in the right, here. So that dealer’s in for a world of hurt.
One thing is for sure - I’ll never be doing business this this guy again, or anyone else at that place, for that matter.

Trailer RV Tire Covers Planned Collaboration

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The exact extent of the planned collaboration in trailer tire covers companies is still unclear, but it does point up the growing involvement of the Japanese producers in the European light commercial vehicle sector. According to the EIU report: "More West European producers are beginning to adopt the maximum if you can't beat them, join them and the second half of the 2002 is emerging as an era of joint ventures and agreements between the West Europeans and the Japanese."Japanese imports rose rapidly during the first half of the 2002 particularly in the smaller European markets, which did not impose any of the controls or so-called "voluntary" quota restrictions that have served to limit Japanese penetration of the Italian, French, and Spanish and to some extent the UK market. 

Lemon Laws

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Alright, the car I just bought is a total rip-off, and it’s time to check out the local lemon laws. The dealer is telling me I’m out of luck, but I’m not about to let them foist this pig off on me.
All the Alabama Lemon Laws are on my side, here. This dealer doesn’t have a leg to stand on. I’m going to eat him for breakfast in court, and he’ll have no one but himself to blame.
Gone are the days when you could take a man at his word in business. It’s a shame that I’m forced to sue - it would cost this guy less to do the right thing, but I guess he’s hoping I’ll give up. Keep dreaming, buddy.
