The Legacy Of John Delorean By: Hiteshbhoi | - John Delorean is probably most remembered as the creator of the time traveling car in the Back to the Future movies. Many will also recall that his gull winged car failed miserably on the open market and as a result he turned to illegal and shady dealings to try and save his company.
Lost in the glitter and drama of such a legacy, his important contribution to the world of sports cars is often overlooked. Without Deloreans influence, sports car design and production would m ... Tags:hyundai, maryland, cars, automotive, autos, car dealers, car

Chevy Classics! By: Hiteshbhoi | - Chevrolet used to have an advertising campaign that touted, Baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolet.

Brand Dilution: Gm's Real Problem By: Hiteshbhoi | - Throughout General Motor's post World War II history, the company has managed to sell various products across its entire line up, thereby offering visitors to its showrooms a wide variety of models. This custom of "brand dilution" was an acceptable practice at GM, Ford, and Chrysler for several generations, but the practice has had its pitfalls.

American Muscle: Ford, Dodge, And Chevy By: Hiteshbhoi | - Back during the 1950s through the mid 1970s, Detroit automakers produced several cars that were out and out muscle cars. These types of vehicles shared the same characteristics: they were two door coupes with souped up engines, responsive transmissions, an aggressive exterior design, and a sporty interior. High fuel prices and changing tastes eventually limited sales to the point where only a few models were produced beyond that period of time. Today, muscle car mania is back, despite even ...

Hot Rods And Their Relation To American Culture By: Hiteshbhoi | - For a good half-century now, the hobby of hot-rodding typically meant taking a cheap car, taking out any body part that didnt matter (i.e. roofs, hoods, bumpers, fenders, seats, and other such nonsense), modifying the engine and/or dropping in a bigger one for greater performance (often protruding upwards from the hood), and fattening up the tires for extra traction.

Mice Control By: Beth Guide | - Mice control is not something you want to look into half-heartedly. If you've noticed a mouse or other rodent pest control problem, it's going to be something you should take care of right away.

The Come Back Of The Gto By: William Jason | - A lot of die-hard car aficionados refer to the Pontiac GTO as the original version of the true muscle car.
