Buying a boat can be very exciting. It can also be extremely time consuming and stressful if you are not sure what you’re doing. Before you prepare to “set sail” on your new purchase, there are a few things you should know. A lot of first time boat buyers make the mistake of assuming it will be easy to find a boat. However, unlike vehicles (which all have four wheels and are relatively easy to come by), buying a boat is going to take a little more research. Unfortunately, boats aren’t as common as Read the Rest…

We’ve all done it before-gotten angry at the person driving in front of us, that is. And while most of us recognize aggressive driving when we see it, many of us deny ever doing it ourselves. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as occurring when, “an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property.” Most people would simply classify this as ‘bad driving’.

Concept cars are very unusual cars. Why is that? Why is it that the designers of today make the vehicles of “tomorrow” but they can’t make those same designs for today? Undoubtedly, dangling carrot syndrome is at play.
Think about it: the last time you went to the Auto Show in your local area, you saw a lot of unusual cars that look very futuristic. And in between those flashy cars, you see these mundane, vanilla cars of today. Why would carmakers want to have those two very different types of cars next to each other?
