Why You Should Get a Mustang 2011 Today!

 Oh man!! If you're a Mustang fan, wait till you see this one! The 2011 Mustang is probably the sexiest beast out there, with one of the models featuring a 3.7l model that can produce up to 305 horsepower. Another advantage of the brand new Mustang is that, with 30 mpg, it offers 25% better fuel economy than the previous year's model! Great news for those who complain about the Mustang's fuel economy.

The V6 model mentioned is also both quicker AND more fuel efficient than the base Camaro (which I also fancy, by the way).


The new 2011 Models include:




V6: $22,145
V6 Premium: $25,845
V6 Convertible:  $27,145
GT: $29,645
V6 Premium Convertable: $30,845
GT Premium: $32,845
GT Convertible:  $34,645
GT Premium Convertible: $37,845
Shelby GT: $48,645
Shelby GT Convertible:  $53,645
 For the original list from Ford (with specs):  http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/models/

This new V6 model is great news, especially since you get the same Mustang look for cheaper and you save more fuel! I mean to me, I honestly don't need a 5l raging beast to drive down Shk. Zayed Rd. (can you imagine the fines!), 3.7l V6 is perfectly fine for me, as long as I get a Mustang.

Fake plastic severed arm halts traffic for hours in Britain

Disclaimer: The picture below is of the fake plastic arm, not the real thing.

This must be the most bizarre cause of a traffic jam in history! Someone, back in July, threw a plastic arm on the road which resulted in the halting of traffic and a massive police investigation.. until they found the arm...

Chinese Face Epic 9-Day, 62-Mile Traffic Jam

Yeah, it sucks to be in a traffic jam. Sometimes your car wouldn't move for hours, which is especially bad in summer.

Imagine, though, you were stuck in a 9 day traffic jam that extended for 62 miles. That was reality for the Chinese capital as the traffic jam extended from Beijing to the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be one of them.

Top Cars You Should Pick As Your First

Recently got your driver's license? Want to finally own your very own car? If so this article is for you!

 Picking your first car can be a challenge, especially when you don't know much about cars. Picking a good car is even more challenging.

 Usually, even after the recent Toyota crisis, Japanese cars are chosen over other cars in terms of reliability, that is not say that other car manufacturers don't make good cars. It is simply a comparative statement. Furthermore, used cars (in good condition) are better suited to first-timers than brand-new cars, because new car owners tend to be (involuntarily) abusive to their first cars, so it's always better to abuse a used car than a brand new one.

 Now for some great cars:
(in no particular order)

  •   Chevrolet Cruze: The brand new Cruze is a great beginner car; being both safe and compact. The Cruze is an affordable car containing everything one might need from a car. The Cruze was awarded 5 stars on safety.

  •  Honda Civic: Sporty looking yet affordable and perfect for beginners, the Civic is an easy to drive match made in heaven for newbies. The car is well known for its performance and reliability. The futuristic look of the car also gives it a unique touch.

  • Toyota Corolla: The Corolla, especially the new lineup, is looking better than ever. In addition to its looks, the Corolla is a great beginner car and is extremely reliable. If possible, try to get the Corolla with the spoiler on the back, which makes the car look much more sporty, if that floats your boat.
