2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible: Review and Pictures
Ford unveiled the new 2010 Mustang GT convertible at L. A. Auto Show. Customers will have an option of choosing between V-6 and V-8 Models. Both Models have been made with unitized welded steel body with aluminum hoods for reducing body weight. These beautiful cars have been assembled at Flat Rock Plant in Mich.
I specially like the mustang with V8 model with 4.6 liter engine installed at 90 degrees. It is capable of producing whopping 320 Horsepower at 6250 rpm. The Torque is rated at 325 lb.-ft @ approx 4250 rpm. Both of 2010 mustang use 87 octane fuel and are fitted with 16 gallon tanks. Fuel economy figures are not available yet but with current drop in oil prices, it does not matter anymore.
Front and rare suspensions have solid stabilizer bars as well as coil springs. Power steering is pretty much standard. Good thing is smaller turning circle if just under 35 feet. which is impressive looking at length of car.
Specs aside, ford has every thing people look in a convertible. here are few of the reasons why I like to have a convertible
- It eliminates blind spots while driving
- Passive sun tan.
- Unlimited Head Room
- Multiple Entry Options
- You can forget keys in car and lock it.
- You can see the sky
- Good for dating.
- They are fun to drive, Ultimate head turner
- You don’t have to listen to boring chats. (Wind and noise)
- Girls Love it!

Travel Tips: Taking a Taxi in Ghana
So it’s Sunday and I’m in bed eating a very large mango and thinking about taxi drivers, waiters and bouncers. I have no patience for any. And my current impatience has developed as a result of my very many experiences with them. Let me start with the taxi drivers.
Here in Accra my usual routine is to walk down my street to the side of the main road and wait for a taxi to approach. I live on the busy part of town so getting a taxi is not a problem. The problem is the taxi drivers.
The usual thing is to stop a taxi driver, tell him where you are going and ask him how much he will charge for the distance; depending on his mood he will either smile at you, look away or give you a monkey face and tell you a figure, (sometimes reasonable, sometimes not).
Unspoken Agreement: Always Bargain
In Ghana taxi drivers (and in fact all business people) have this unwritten and unspoken agreement that the buyer must always bargain with the seller. So you either ask for a reduction or tell him how much you are willing to pay. If he accepts you get on board if not you look for the next taxi.
But make sure you act confident about getting another taxi with the rate you are offerin
g. This can actually make him accept your offer. See, taxi drivers in Accra are not very logical in their approach to their work. Maybe I just can’t figure out how they reason, but i think they operate on emotion: greed and pride being dominant.
Some taxi drivers would rather drive around empty (and waste fuel) than take your offer which may be a few pesewas short of the rate they’ve become used to. With the bargaining process a driver may give in to your offer because you raised a good argument to beat his own or through the exchange you showed that you know the taxi driver-passenger system.

2008 Land Rover LR2 Review
[ad#ad-2]
The Range Rover is widely viewed as one of the finest luxury vehicles built today, and its smooth on-road and rugged off-road performance are seen by many as best-in-class. However, Land Rover’s spotty reliability record detracts from its overall appeal.
With luxury and performance to spare, reviewers are almost unanimous in saying that the Land Rover Range Rover is a wonderful full-size luxury SUV, among the finest overall luxury vehicles on the road.

Top 10 features we want in a commuter’s car
[ad#ad-2]
The daily commute is a fact of modern life. It makes sense to purchase a car that keeps the ride to and from work as pleasant as possible. That means foregoing certain features because they’re not practical on a day-to-day basis in bumper-by-bumper traffic.
I surveyed few of my friends to determine which of the features they consider a-must in commuter’s cars. Here are 10 that we look for in cars we evaluate; we think you should consider them as well.
- Comfortable seats: Different people have different requirements when it comes to seat comfort. Features such as side bolstering or lumbar support, for example, work well for some, but are obtrusive for others. Power controls are always good — they allow you to fine-tune the sea position while you’re driving, rather than having to stop the car. A seat-height adjuster can go a long way toward making a seat a comfortable fit for very short or very tall drivers, but some manufacturers insist that one size fits all.
A telescoping steering wheel and adjustable pedals can also be a great help. Those who live in colder climes or suffer from back problems may benefit from seats that are heated. And of course, a comfortable seat means nothing if you have long legs, and the seat doesn’t scoot back far enough to accommodate them. The important thing here is to drive the car before you buy it; it’s the only way to know if the seat meets your needs.
The Rising Value of Your Fuel Efficient Car
[ad#ad-2]
I drive a 2001 Dodge Neon ES, <!– ckey=”3011EA0A” –>a car with less than 40,000 miles on it. When I purchased it from the used car dealer five years ago, it had just 17,000 miles on the odometer. I paid exactly $7000 for the car, not a bad price for a vehicle with low miles.
Dodge NeonAs you can tell, I don’t drive the car all that much as I work from home and only have need of it about two days per week. My wife and I have thought about selling it, but on those days when I really need a vehicle, sharing her Toyota RAV4 would just not work out. Besides, at the rate that I am going, I’ll still have a low mileage car to give to my oldest child when he starts driving in seven years!

Nissan’s Denki Cube EV Concept Is A Reality

There and Back Again
[ad#ad-2]
Last year, Midas, the muffler company, in honor of its fiftieth anniversary, gave an award for America’s longest commute to an engineer at Cisco Systems, in California, who travels three hundred and seventy-two miles—seven hours—a day, from the Sierra foothills to San Jose and back. “It’s actually exhilarating,” the man said of his morning drive. “When I get in, I’m pumped up, ready to go.” People like to compare commutes, to complain or boast about their own and, depending on whether their pride derives from misery or efficiency, to exaggerate the length or the brevity of their trip. People who feel they have smooth, manageable commutes tend to evangelize. Those who hate the commute think of it as a core affliction, like a chronic illness. Once you raise the subject, the testimonies pour out, and, if your ears are tuned to it, you begin overhearing commute talk everywhere: mode of transport, time spent on train/interstate/treadmill/homework help, crossword-puzzle aptitude—limitless variations on a stock tale. People who are normally circumspect may, when describing their commutes, be unexpectedly candid in divulging the intimate details of their lives. They have it all worked out, down to the number of minutes it takes them to shave or get stuck at a particular light. But commuting is like sex or sleep: everyone lies. It is said that doctors, when they ask you how much you drink, will take the answer and double it. When a commuter says, “It’s an hour, door-to-door,” tack on twenty minutes.
