The Auto Industry Bail Out

I ask what is going on here in the USA?  I am not a financial genius and I could be wrong but this is the way I see it. First we bailed out the banks because they gave out too many bad loans. These people who are financial geniuses gave out loans to people who could not afford them, hoping things would get better and the people could pay their Bills. Basically what they did was gambling. Its like me going to Las Vegas betting over and over on red figuring it will come up eventually and when it never does and I lose all my Money. I then go and ask for all of it back plus more! The Banks who gave the Mortgages where given a bail out of around 600 Billion Dollars so they could stay in business. Now as I have read for around half of that the Government could have paid off all those bad loans and helped poor American Families keep their homes.  If all the bad loans where paid then would not that take care of all the Banks problems? Instead they gave super rich bankers who mad bad choices lots of Money so they can continue to make the same decisions that failed before and live their incredible lives that most of us can only dream about.

Southern California Car Auctions – Your Best Bet In Car Auctions


Southern California car auctions are very popular in the United States. The cars are fairly cheap and you can have the best value for your money.

Buying a brand new car these days can be very expensive. If you are looking for something that looks brand new without the brand new price tag, you can find your best choice at car auctions in Southern California. Cars being offered for bidding at car auctions in Southern California have been taken by the Federal government, perhaps for failure to pay tax dues, or have been repossessed by the lender for non-payment of account. At car auctions like this, you can save 90% more than what you would otherwise pay when you buy through a car dealer.

Then again, you may be a bit concerned that being practically second-hand cars, cars being auctioned in Southern California are no longer in good condition. On the contrary, these cars are only slightly used and are in fact, working very well.

You can take a mechanic with you to examine the car because a mechanic can spot things an untrained eye often misses.

Motorcycle Show In New York City


government seized motorcycles, motorcycle auctionsAs the cold Winter weather starts rolling in we bikers are still looking for fun things to do to fill up our weekends, we just start looking for stuff that’s indoors. After spending all those months riding its always hard when we have to leave our bikes at home, but hey what are the options? (Move down South? Not Me! I’m a New Yorker).

In January in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center there is always one of the best indoor Motorcycle events around. The Annual International Motorcycle Show presented by Toyota! I have attended this event for many years and it is always packed with more fun things to see and do than one can Squeeze into just three days.

Its always fun checking this event out while working for one Magazine or another. What difference does that make you may ask?  Well Checking out the newest makes of Motorcycles, Motorcycle Equipment, Products and gear, seeing old friends, making new friends and seeing Celebrities like Dee Snyder, The Ice cream Man from Hell, Billy Lane and many others is always a really great time! But when doing it while having Super Hot Magazine Models on your arm, well lets just say it adds something more to the event that you’re just going to have to trust me on!

Seized Property Auctions Are Bargain Hunter Delights!


Seized property sold through government auctions and police auctions are a treasure trove for bargain hunters. There is a vast array of goods, new and used, sold at way below retail, sometimes less than 10% of market value!

Exactly what is seized property? This is property that has been taken through state or federal “seizure laws”. These laws allow certain government agencies, such as US Customs, the IRS, DEA, even local police departments. to seize property that was used or acquired illicitly, such as a car or truck used to transport stolen goods or illegal drugs, or property imported improperly.

If a drug dealer uses the money he acquires from drug trafficking to buy a car, truck, boat, even a house, they come under the “seizure law” and will be confiscated. Furniture, jewelry, art, electronics all can be seized.

The numbers and types of seized property that is sold through government auctions is mind-boggling. You can buy cars and trucks, boats, antiques, jewelry, office equipment, even aircraft. And they can be had for mere pennies on the dollar.

Truck Resources and Sports Car

Sports cars in general, are mostly about style and performance. This is why these types of cars lure so many drivers in the market. Sports cars are head turners and usually look best in the color red. Sports cars have power placed to its pavement across its rear wheels or on all of the four wheels. The cars are principally constructed for the driver, although there are a few have rear seats.

The lure of sports cars demonstrate, as surveys show, that nearly sixty percent of young car drivers between the ages of seventeen and twenty, select a car based on appearance with little consideration on its affordability. Only seven percent base their selection on the cost of insurance cost and/or running condition and thirty percent base their selection solely on appearance. While views greatly vary with regards to the sports car precise definition, the majority of sports cars come with two doors, two seats and are designed for tremendous acceleration, high speed, and of course, attractiveness.

Their attractive looks are that lure car drivers and enthusiasts, second only to the performance, surveys said. Sports cars do not have much room capacity or may not be reasonable or economical. Passenger space and fuel cost-effectiveness are not generally the main considerations of an individual who is in the showroom ready to purchase an image-boosting vehicle.
