Vehicle Review: 2010 Honda Accord
The 2010 Honda Accord offers an
combination of interior room, an upscale feel and a reputation for
reliability and resale value. If there was to be a complaint about this
Honda legend, it would be the performance, and ride.
Vehicle Review: 2007 Ford Edge
If you are looking
the versatility of a SUV, with the comfort of a family sedan, the 2007 Ford
Edge may just be the crossover for you. In 2007, Ford lead the charge to
replace the truck based SUV segment, with the car based CUV, and the Edge
was its flagship model.
Top Used Car Buys For Under $10,000
Below are some of the most reliable vehicles, in every segment, you can rely
on to provide for years of service without breaking the bank. Although we
can't say with all certainty that you will not find a lemon in the group, we
can say that the track record of these used cars, and trucks, would indicate
that you will enjoy worry free service.
2002-2006 Acura RSX:
This coupe looking hatchback has sporty good looks, a namplate
a good track record, and engine that can deliver up to 210hp. To make the
most of its power, we suggest you search for the manual option, but, in any
case, for under $10,000 you can't go wrong here.
1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado:
Offering a wiade range of packages, ranging from a bare bones work horse to
the LT trim for more in the way of comfort, these pick ups are easy to find
for under $10,000, extremely reliable, and easy to find parts for.
2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria:
This favorite among many of the nation's police departments, the Crown
Victoria is a large, roomy, powerful, and easy to find option. Although it's
tough 4.6L V8 engine may be a little more greedy when it comes to fuel
consumption, it is likely to move you around in peaceful luxury for a price
that will make up for the more frequent visits to the fuel pumps.
2001-2007 Ford Escape:
Overall, there are few SUV's that will offer a bigger bang for the buck than
the Ford Escape. Find one that has been well maintained, and not busting at
the seems with mileage, and you will find that $10,000 can afford you a long
list of standard features. Most came with a well powered V6, and you may
even find a hybrid or two, although they may bring you to your budget
The Kill Switch
Posted October 6, 2014
In the attempt to lessen the risk to lenders, and bolster the available car
loan programs made available to those with a bad credit background, many
lenders, and used car dealers, are turning to the "Kill Switch", a device
that can render a vehicle inoperatable from a remote location.
What this does for lenders is remove the need for the "repo man". This may
sound drastic, especially for those that may have to accept one of these
devices being installed on their next used car purchase, but, in fact, this
is a device that only effects, in a negative way, those who become
delinquint in making payments, while, one the other hand, such devices make
lenders much more comfortable with approving car loans to those who they
might not otherwise approve.
Some reports claim that up to 30% of the vehicles purchased today, with the
help of an auto loan, have such devices installed. In any case, no
such device will ever be installed on a vehicle without the consent of the
buyer, and, for those buyers with a bad credit history, who have had a tough
time finding a dealer, or lender, willing to provide a needed car loan, this
device may be a "small price to pay" for the chance to once again qualify
for that loan.
Lower Used Car Prices Expected Later In 2014.
Posted Feb 23, 2014
If you're shopping for a used car, you can expect better deals this year. A large supply of trade-ins and cars
returning from leases will push
down overall used car prices by an estimated 2% in 2014, according to forecasters at
automotive web site Edmunds.com.
The popularity of leasing new cars, in recent years, plays into the expected lower used car prices. "The boom
in new car leases is leading to a higher number of lease returns, which adds to the growing inventory of used
cars, forcing their prices down," explains Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor for Edmunds.
In turn, falling used car prices may also affect new car deals, especially low-payment lease offers. Lower used
car prices mean lower residual values -- what a car is worth at the end of a lease. That could result in higher
payments on new car leases, Reed explains. However, continuing low interest rates, especially early in the
year, will help hold down lease payments.
Buyer Beware When Shopping Craigslist Cars For Sale
Posted Sept 17, 2013
A meeting set up to sell a car that had been advertised on Craigslist turned
into a robbery when the would-be buyer pulled out a gun, authorities said.
The car, a 1999 Honda Accord, was recovered when the victim found it a short
parked near an apartment complex, but the robber wasn't there and hasn't
been arrested.
Police say it started when the 36-year-old victim arranged to meet a man who
wanted to buy the car and said his name was Bitor Romero.
The victim arrived at the meeting place, 8300 N. Rodney Parham Road, about 9
p.m., at which point a man on the lot pointed a gun at the victim's neck and
ordered him to leave while the man took off in the Accord west on Markham
Police responded and took a report. The victim then called investigators a
short time later and said he had found his car at 609 Brookside Drive, the
report said.
Officers searched the vehicle, finding a stolen handgun inside, the report
said. The weapon was dusted for fingerprints and taken as evidence.
The robber is described as a black man about 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds. He
wore a white tank top, yellow shorts and white shoes.

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons do not intend to change their name despite a can of worms being opened up by the fiasco over a new logo, writes Chris Kirwan.
The Rodney Parade region made an embarrassing climbdown yesterday, closing a web vote to choose a crest just 14 hours after it started because of negative feedback.
Over 2,250 votes were cast on yourdragons.co.uk but the current badge – which has been on the jersey since 2003 – will remain next season rather than any of the three prospective options.
While the attempt to engage with supporters was laudable, the "brand refresh" idea merely sparked the age-old debate over the name.
The vote fired up rival factions with some arguing for it to be just Newport and others calling for the region to be known simply as the Dragons.
Not only that, the vote wasn't exclusive to rugby supporters in the region – people could have their say even if they had never heard of Rodney Parade let alone stepped through its turnstiles.
The embarrassing episode mere served to highlight the problems facing the region – choosing a new crest featuring Newport Gwent Dragons was akin to giving the radiator a fresh lick of paint and ignoring the crack in the living room wall.
Members of the board are frustrated at the debacle and while they acknowledge the need to establish a proper direction over their identity they feel the time is wrong for that particular debate.
They believe there are more pressing matters, namely the attempts of Regional Rugby Wales, the body representing them along with the Ospreys, Cardiff Blues and the Scarlets, to thrash out a new participation agreement with the Welsh Rugby Union.
Nor do they intend to make any hasty moves in what is, and always has been, a delicate situation.
They are keen to attract support from all over Gwent to Rodney Parade but are well aware that the majority of their season ticket holders hail from Newport.
Detailed market research about what route to go down could happen in the future, but it does not appear to be imminent.

Studio N45 - Designnovation (visual blog)
Why this new StudioN45 has been brought to life? Well the thought behind it all is plain simple: I love Duran Duran and love to design. Both for as long as I can remember.
How could it not be better than just to combine those two together and show it to the rest of the world? You can see my journey, as a designer, from its early beginning to the present day. It is all there....
The designs are not the official ones used by the band (Duran Duran) but are mostly fiction to potray my passion and fun.

Do you ever see a commercial for a new car and wonder who on earth ever let that name clear marketing? Plenty of times I've heard some strange new name and wondered why the car powers that be would think it could compel me to investigate their product.
Maybe I'm a traditionalist but names like Corvette, Aston Martin, Barracuda, Phantom, Jaguar and Viper snap out at you and say "I'm cool--look at me!" while the others on this list . . . don't. Oh, and being a minivan is no excuse for having a dumb name--we moms like to have cool car names as much as the guy driving the Ferrari. We just have trunk space.
1. Chevrolet El Camino. Maybe I'm influenced by this possibly being the ugliest car ever created--no really, the ugliest--but that's another list for another day. However, correct me if I'm wrong but "El camino" in Spanish means "The walk." Is it just me or does that seem to be a downright marketing BOMB? And being that Andrew is fluent in Spanish I have been informed that camino can also mean "road" so perhaps they were focusing on the other meaning rather than an alternative form of transportation. Because to me it's like slapping a big sticker on a car that says "Be prepared to use your feet."
2. Ford Festiva. Perhaps American car companies should shy away from trying to sound too South of the Border because it just isn't working for me. Does Festiva really mean anything? I know it's supposed to sound like something festive but given the size and power of the car in question I'm not really thinking that the gimmick is working too well. It's like naming the shortest, tiniest guy on the team "Killer McGraw" or something. False advertising I think is what that's called. The British came up with a good name for a small car--Mini Cooper. Diminutive, simple, cute but not stupid.
3. Toyota Avalon. Okay follow the thought process here with me for just a moment. If you're a car company what kind of values would you try to convey? Perhaps solidity, dependability, sex appeal, speed? So it would make perfect sense to call your new car "Avalon" which basically is a mythical place that has become a metaphor for transient and unrealized hopes--a place that cannot be found which will remain forever undiscovered.
Sounds to me that it means I'm going to have a hard time remembering where I parked my vehicle at Walmart. Now that would be a good commercial! A woman wandering around and around the parking lot, groceries in her hand, just looking and looking for her lost car. "What are you seeking ma'am?" "I'm looking for my Avalon!" "Well good luck, I don't expect you'll ever find it!" Apparently Toyota thinks Australians feel as I do because there they call it the Aurion down there. Not that that's much better.
4. Ford Aspire. You know it's occurred to me that maybe those years in English classes reading Derida have backfired on me--perhaps I'm reading too much into the language and need to get a life instead of deconstructing car names but have you ever thought about why on earth they named a car the "Aspire"? Because it's trying to be a better car? It "aspires" to be something you'd actually like to buy? Because it's an inferior product and it's really feeling bad about it and wants to be something better? Or are they talking "aspire" as a biological function? Either way it lacks.
Sometimes I think they must have only got past the first entry in the dictionary when they looked the word up. Words carry so much more meaning than the average car producer would expect.
5. Acura MDX. So maybe going for the robot name is the route to take? You don't get mocked on anyone's blog for naming a car with just some meaningless numbers or letters right?
Well . . . that probably depends on whose blog it is. Oh, and which letters or numbers you pick. Because I think the Audi TT is a hot little name--short and sweet and I'm always in the mood to buy me one of those.
But an MDX?? I can hardly remember what random series of letters it is and it kind of sticks in the throat like a bad batch of sushi. So if you need a quick tutorial: FJ Cruiser: good, Cadillac STS or (Holy Hannah!) the BMW X3 SAV: bad. Very very bad. It's not a car it's a computer language. No, I take that back because binary code would probably be easier to remember than the combination of letters and numbers coming out of Stuttgart.
6. Ford Focus. Ah yes, I've come to the Ford Focus which begs the question "What is one focusing on?" The road? The gas gauge? The speed limit? What? Does it mean that the car's identity is rather blurry and undefined? Does it mean it's hard to see? Does it mean that Ford thinks we're all misdirected and need to realign our values with theirs? I'm not quite sure what the point of it all is, all I know is that it's a silly, silly name drawn up by men in an office who most undoubtedly do not drive their own product. I'd bet you money on that. Ford's got some geniuses working in their Auto Naming Division, they've made the list more than any other manufacturer.
7. Toyota Solara, Buick Alero, Buick LeSabre, Buick Reatta and Chrysler LeBaron. And any other ridiculously made up name that sounds like the latest NBA Allstar or Hip Hop queen. I should Google Sentra to see if it really means anything at all--sometimes car companies can surprise you and names like Pontiac, Corvette or Impala actually do mean something. Do you know what an impala is? Or who Pontiac was? Maybe that's what I need around here--to get a car named after me because that would be the greatest PR move of all blogging history. Would you buy a Scribbit?
Okay maybe not. Forget that I ever mentioned it.
8. Dodge Diplomat, Pontiac Parisienne, Chevrolet Celebrity, Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Versailles. The cars that grasp so ridiculously at poshness that they embarrass themselves in the process. Has there been any owner of any Crown Victoria anywhere that has the remotest delusion that British royalty find their car attractive? Is there anyone brainless enough to feel more like a Parisienne by driving a PONTIAC? I think the French have actually outlawed the word "Pontiac" from their language.
9. Pontiac Aztek and Chevy Luv. This is the group of misspelled names that are orthographically offensive. Who was it who first said "What this here SUV needs is a big ol' K on the end--forget that whimpy C!" Because Aztecs are more fearsome with a K. Why stop there and just shoot for that bloodthirsty X? AzteX. Now that's a dangerous vehicle.
And even more ridiculous is the notion that the words "love" and "truck" go together--because last time I checked issues such as torque and engine size and towing capacity were not typically influenced by romance. Unless perhaps it's one's love for one's truck? Maybe?
I guess I'm just having a hard time seeing any cowboy jumping out of his Chevy Luv truck to go rope him some cattle. It's the truck sponsored by Brokeback Mountain.
10. Chevrolet Nova. Okay this one is just hilarious. You might know what "nova" means in English--especially if you're any kind of a PBS fan. A rebirth, a new beginning, etc. Fair enough and that would typically stand fine as a car name I suppose. But translate it into Spanish and suddenly your "no-va" doesn't run. Oops! And they wondered why South American sales were down. Who wouldn't run to buy a car named the "No Go"?
11. Saturn Vue. I think Saturn prides themselves on pithy, hip names. As if that means their cars emit fewer toxic gases if the names are shorter. They got away with the Ion, Aura and Sky--those sound more eco-friendly than any car on the road right? But then we've got the Vue. Is it Voo or View? Not sure and I wouldn't try pronouncing it without coaching first--but then it could be worse. I could be driving the Astra which sounds like it ought to be the name of the Jetson's new robotic maid. Or the Touareg which (though being a car I would love to own) is absolutely unintelligible. Farfegnugen!
12. Daewoo. I own a Korean car, love it all the way but I have to say that Hyundai isn't the most consumer-friendly name. It's too close to Honda and the first time I saw it I was slightly confused and then I've heard people pronouncing it different ways. At least with "Honda" there's only one way to say it and it's pretty solid in name recognition. Which is why I don't understand "Daewoo." All I can figure is that "Daewoo" must mean something pretty darn cool in Korean. Maybe "great forks of lightning streaking across the sky at high noon" or something like that.
Either that or there's a Mrs. Daewoo who insisted on having the company named after her, which is probably the more obvious choice. I kind of want to giggle when I say this name because it sounds like you're talking with a lisp.
13. Oldsmobile. The granddaddy of bad car names--it's so bad they couldn't just stop with one model they had to name the WHOLE COMPANY this ridiculous name. I don't care that it's named after Mr. Olds if the man had had any kind of vision he would have fired the first person who suggested calling his cars Oldsmobiles.
My grandparents drive one which pretty much says it all. In fact it was kind of funny, after living through the World War II years I doubt they'd ever consider buying a German or Japanese car--it would smack of treason to them--and when they were in the market for a new sedan and I was talking to them about their future purchase I jokingly said "Oh I bet you'll get an Oldsmobile!" but the blink-blink-blink I got from Grandma soon showed it was no joking matter. And sure enough, they drove home with a nice, gently-used Oldsmobile--tan in color. And in defense of Oldsmobiles everywhere they've loved every minute of their sweet ride.
Sometimes it's all in the name--I've never touched a Lambourghini Countach but I still speak the name with reverence. Has anyone ever felt that way about an Oldsmobile? It's the car that comes with it's own oxygen tank and support hose.

The Pontiac Parisienne is hilarious. Especially since a real Parisienne is more likely to have a scooter or a bicycle. Most of the ones I know don't even have a driver's license!
- jchevais said...
OMG! I just looked at a photo of the Parisienne! You'd never be able to park that in Paris.
- KarenDV said...
I always thought Renault's "Le Car" was a pretty silly name, too.
- calicobebop said...
Yes, the completely "make-up" names always stump me. What kind of a think-tank came up with those?
- Jthemilker said...
The El Camino... my family refers to as a "Catruck" - LOL i.e. "Look, that guy's driving a catruck!"
- Lilibeth said...
Once I drove a Matador, and I always wondered who it would kill--an innocent pedestrian or me. (Spanish again)I now drive a LaSabre and it's hard for me to remember from day to day what it is called. Anyway, I always rename all my cars. My LaSabre is "Wuggins". My Villager was "Vilya" after the rings of power. (At the time we had in the family a red truck , white car, and my blue van..so Narya, Nenya, and Vilya came naturally.)
- Heather said...
I'll never look at a Chevy Luv in the same way again after that mental image.
I have to admit that my FIL has an old Nova and I never thought of the Spanish translation of it. His is more like a "No va mucho" though. He drives his Ford more than the Nova.
I drive a Caravan. Care to join in?
- SuburbanCorrespondent said...
I learned to drive in an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (there's a weird name for you - is it a sword? or an ice cream?). It was a 2-door, and that door was so long and heavy, and I was so small, I had to get out of the car and stand up to start closing it.
- Wild Parenting said...
LOL! My dad bought my sister a Ford Festiva for her sixteenth birthday in 1990. The poor guy thought it would make a big impact to have her NAME written in rainbow cursive writing along the driver's side of the car. Can you picture it? A bright blue Festiva with "LISA". Awful.
- Marie N. said...
Remember Studabakers? I thought that was rather a stuffy sort of name too.
At one point in my life I owned a Reliant K. It was reliable. Whatever was that K for?
- Babystepper said...
I'm pretty sure Le Sabre means "the sword" in French. One does wonder what on earth that has to do with driving. Does it "cut" the road. If so, that would explain the state of I-40 between our side of the state and OKC.
I kind of like to say "BMW Z3" because it makes me feel like I know something about cars. You know, "If I one the lottery, I'd buy a BMW Z3." People know they're talking to a real road queen.
Or not.
- Babystepper said...
Oh, dear. That should be "won". Yes, I am literate. I think.
- ames said...
I've always like the Volkswagon Thing. So unassuming :)
You must be in my brain again. Literally just yesterday I overheard something on tv about the el camino such-and-such which they said translates to the such-and-such road, and I blurted out "wait, el camino means the road? What a ridiculous car name!"
I just passed a Nova on the road this morning and giggled a lot. I think they're even made in Mexico, which is that much funnier.
- Maddy said...
Cars mystify me, especially their name. Why would anyone call a car after a potato? I'd certainly aspire to just about any other vegetable than an Idaho.
- MommyTime said...
My best friend's parents had a sage green Oldmobile when we were in high school. It was so big that we used to call it the Oldsmobubble.
- Monkey's Momma said...
The funniest car name ever is the Dodge Dart. Sounds like a cartoon character! When I was a teen, I drove an AMC Spirit. Everyone called it a Sprint! They also made the Gremlin, ya know.
- Doll Clothes Gal said...
Love the cars - the Nova story always tickles me.
- gretchen from lifenut said...
The Gremlin is probably the most aptly-named car: Small, ugly, and could possibly cause your death.
Even worse that the El Camino is Subaru's version. Remember the Brat? It's like a compact El Camino, like a VW Rabbit with a pickup bed. Then again, maybe Brat is a good name for a car like that?
- Lissete said...
The first car I thought about, although I would be dating myself, was the AMC Gremlin. Why not just start a freaky trend like Honda Hobbit or GMC Gargoyle.
My grandfather drove a Barracuda way into the 80's. Even then, kids thought his car was oh, so cool!
- Anonymous said...
You left out the most "uncomfortable" car name ever - the Ford Probe - just proving your Ford naming theory! I'm sorry - it just conjures up all kinds of icky thoughts!

- The Bee said...
OOOO. Do NOT make fun of my Olds! (It's the closest I'll ever come to being in love with a vehicle!)
- Janelle said...
Regarding anything Chevrolet: their names all stink. Except I do like Impala. Re: #1...I have to disagree with you on the ugliness factor. The ugliest care ever created is the smart car. Re: #7...I like the name Alero. It sounds cool, but not necessarily like a sports hero. And on #10, I have to disagree because of a personal difference. I have a cousin named Nova, and her parents bought her a '69 Nova for her 16th birthday. Also, the whole thing with Spanish-market sales down is urban legend. Definite ditto, though, on Oldsmobile and Daewoo. Is Daewoo pronounced day-woo or die-woo? I think the Chevy Aveo is a weird name.
- Brillig said...
Scribbit, you are absolutely brilliant. I was laughing so hard as I read through these. And yeah, I'm fluent in Spanish and lived in South America for a while, so the Nova's always made me snicker a bit. Haha.
Oh, and I would TOTALLY drive a "Scribbit." :-D
- Lori said...
I always think (of the Ford Focus) "Focus on being a car." Cute post.
- Janet said...
This made me laugh, especially the Chevy Luv truck. I learned to drive on a Chevy Impala station wagon (a lovely caramel color). Don't you know *I* was the popular one? And I know what an impala is and who Pontiac was. At various times my mother had a Chevrolet Chevelle (now that's clever) and Citation (it should have been cited for ugly), and a Dodge Omni (which I think must have been short for ominous). My first car was a Mercury Lynx, which was promptly nicknamed the Jinx because it followed the Ford parent company nickname of "Fix or Repair Daily" and finally actually dropped its engine, rendering it "Found on Road Dead." After that I had a Chevrolet Cavalier, Beretta, Geo Prizm (again with the deliberate misspelling) and now a Jeep Cherokee. Ridiculous names all.
- Anonymous said...
Maybe it is just me, but that doesn't look like a Ford Festiva in the photo.....and I should know, we just got rid of our 1988 Festiva (that we purchased new) last year. Yes, that baby ran for 19 years, with very little trouble at all.
Granted, it didn't have much pick-up, but I did drive it through the Rockies. Oh, and I remember making a 450 mile car trip with friends on $15 of gas. And you would be shocked at how much cargo area such a tiny car could hold.
Anyway, maybe the photo is of a newer model of Festiva, but it is definitely not the one I remember. They were much taller on top and sort of squarish. Our's was silver.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane (or should I say memory road).
- Used to be fluent said...
Hyundai (pronounced hyun-day) actually means "modern" in Korean. Daewoo (pronounced day-oo - same "oo" as in moon) isn't a real word but based on the meaning of the Chinese characters it can be interpreted as "big world" or "big universe".
- JanMary said...
From UK - only one I recognise that we have here is the Ford Focus.
We have our own totally inappropriate names too.
- Munchkins and Music said...
How about Ford Pinto?
- Mandy said...
This post made me laugh. Ever so clever!
- Kacie said...
Lol I drive a car on your list. I won't say which, because I don't want to be embarrassed :)
Anyway, I love my car and have named her Shirley.
- One Mom said...
Do you think the car companies actually pay someone to dream up these names? I'll take a good ole' Explorer, Expedition or Trail Blazer over a bunch of numbers I don't understand any day!
- Scribbit said...
Well don't feel too badly kacie, we're just talking names here not performance :)
And speaking as someone whose owned a Civic, Sentra, Escort, Windstar and Sedona I haven't exactly hit any star names myself.
- Tara said...
We had a Neon once... and I figure the least they could have done is painted it a NEON colour... of course then I would never have owned it. But it was such a randomly stupid name since there was absolutely nothing NEON about it and NEON only reminds me of the dreadful styles of the 80's... but perhaps that is what they were going for "drive a neon so you can relive those not-so-glorious days of your youth".
- Scribbit said...
Let's see if I can catch up with comments here:
Le Car is ridiculous--absolutely. And how did I miss the Gremlin??
And Lilibeth you are a true LOTR geek :) I love you with all my heart now.
I can't think of Studebakers without conjuring up the Muppet Movie.
Dart and Sprint are odd too--kind of like El Camino in terms of logic.
As for the photo of the FEstiva, as I mentioned I got the pics from Wikipedia and they say it's also an Aspire so maybe they have a photo of the Aspire and called it a Festiva-who knows, I don't know that much about cars.
The bee--I will humbly retract my mockery of the Oldsmobile solely in your honor :)
And the PROBE?? How did I miss that? The car only a doctor would drive. Maybe not.
And Nova is an urban legend? Go figure!
- Heather said...
My husband calls the Probe "Anal probe" every time.
- Susan (5 Minutes For Mom) said...
That is too funny. You're right Oldsmobile has got to be the DUMBEST name for a car. I can't believe that it survived.
- Janelle said...
To "one mom": Yes, they do pay people to come up with them. My mom knows someone in fact who does research on what the translations mean in other languages so as to avoid "Nova" type issues.
And people say they can't find a good job...
- Laurie said...
El Camino can mean "The way" too. Like in a religious sense... However, I agree with other comments that the Ford Pinto is even more ridiculous. Pinto beans are way overrated, as well as the ugly cheap car that took that name.
- carrie said...
My husband and I were just discussing this the other night while we were supposed to be falling asleep and we got a really bad case of the giggles. Especially over the Pinto (bean in Spanish) and the Citation (which I had as a kid at one point)
Really? A Citation? Like you're going to get one in that car? Odd thing is, my stepdad drove that car drunk for many a beer run and should've gotten a citation or something!
- Lara said...
Hey now...I've always wanted to buy a Solara. And I plan on putting Sojoel on the vanity plate. Unfortunately, I won't be out of minivan stage for a while, and it will probably be even longer before I'm in 2-door stage.
- all over the map said...
I don't know, but something about the "El Camino" that screams Americana to me and I quite like it! Even if the name is Spanish. I think you are way too harsh on the ol' Camino.:)But I'm also laughing. Did you see The Mexican where Brad Pitt exercises his Spanish skills by pronouncing "Ell Caameeennooo". It's still funny when I think about it.
I'm with you on the pronunciation of some of these darn names. If you think that's confusing, Aussies have a totally different way of pronouncing Nissan, Mazda and Hyundai and it has nothing to do with an accent. They also pronounce fillet, "fill-it" and I'm not kidding!
- Daisy said...
Ah, and poor Mr. and Mrs. Ford -- however did they explain to their son Edsel that his namesake flopped? Totally, completely failed?
- Jennifer said...
Always love to think about how names for things came about.
Imagine a nice cushy job naming OPI's fingernail polish??
And love the word of the day from your blog "orthographically ??"
- PJ said...
Maybe the names are coming from our esteemed Hollywood Stars who name even their children strange things like River Phoenix, Apple, Summer, Autum, and other such things. I can see the emails to the stars now: name this new model and win a new car!
- Lei said...
Oh you just crack me up... funny thing about daewoo...when we lived in Hawaii we often shopped at a market calle Daie. I'm sure I've just misspelled it, it's such an awkward grouping of letters not to mention pronuciation. Anyway, the first few weeks we were there I kept wanting to call it Daewoo, like the car. Which is also awkward...
- Marketing Mama said...
LOL - it's funny you even thought of this! :) I have a VUE - pronounced "view" and I really like it...
- Damselfly said...
I think I just might buy a Scribbit.
The Chevrolet Celebrity was my second car. I got it used. Let me tell you, there's nothing about this car that says celebrity.
What a hysterical list!
- charrette said...
Hahahaha! I laughed out loud at some of these!
El Camino truly is the ugliest car ever. My friend and I used to joyride in her grandpa's. We'd go over speedbumps and it felt like you were riding on a big, bouncy mattress!
Did you remember the unfortunate Edsel? Named after a member of the ford family, I think. Most unsuccessful car ever.
Hilarious post idea!
- Jenna Consolo said...
With all that you do, HOW do you have time to think this much?
- stefanie said...
So funny!
We were Escorted all the way from 1988 til 2003. We bought it new, but we couldn't even sell it in the end. No one wanted it. We donated it to a veterans group. I hope they weren't mad at us.
We also had a Dodge Spirit that I called the Evil Spirit because some days it just decided not to start. No one could figure out what was wrong.
You got my 'wheels' turning! What about the Volare? My parents' friends had a Volare station wagon complete with wood panels on the doors. I just felt so ITALIAN when I looked at it. Now I feel like bursting into song!
- Sonja said...
We're still trying to wrap our minds around the name of our Dodge "Caravan". As if a family of 6 needed any more help feeling their largeness. :)
Funny. Very funny.
- AlaneM said...
I always liked the name Hyundai just cos you can say it all fast like you're going to go all samauri on someone.
I must say in defense of the nova - dumb name now that I think about it - seriously cool muscle car. One of my pals in HS had one, she was a teeny tiny girl in this huge bright yellow car - we called it the banana boat - va-room!
- MoziEsmé said...
I love this list! And Oldsmobile is at the top of mine . . .
- jubilee said...
"orthographically offensive" -- ha! brilliant!
(can I use that sometime?)BG
- Karen B said...
"Oldsmobile? It's the car that comes with it's own oxygen tank and support hose." My grandparents always had an Olds and I loved driving them back in the 50s and 60s but your description just cracked me up! Grandpa would have been offended - but it's still a stitch.
- Alice Wills Gold said...
We had an old baraccuda...it was a piece...who knew that we were driving a showpiece waiting to happen. We were always embarassed by it.
And, I won't even go into how much it costed to fill that thing up.
- Andrea said...
My husband owns a Ford Aspire. We say it "aspires" to be a car! Hey but no joke it gets fabulous gas mileage. He named the car Moebes. If I remember right he named it that because the horn says, "moebe, moebe" and I don't think it would scare even a bird from its path!
- Andrea said...
It was really funny until you started ragging on the Oldsmobile. I drive an Olds...yes, me the not yet 30 year old drives an Olds...and yes, my husband does call it my oldpeoples mobile but...I think the Aleros are nice - but I have no idea what Alero means!
- Anonymous said...
HA! I love this list, because I am always making fun of car names! Like the Touareg, who are this really fierce Saharan tribe of raiders where the men cover their faces...they are actually kind of scary people, and we didn't go to Mali once because they were making trouble on the border. So name a mini-van after them! uh, yeah. Logical.
You forgot a few of my favs...
the Dodge Intrepid! Makes me think of Maxwell Smart, actually.
the Ford Probe. Uh, named for his fav protologist?
and my fav? the Vigor! We call it the Libido, Donn and I, and always make fun of its male drivers.
- DMo said...
This post reminds me of a clean comedian Scott Wood's little 2minute skit on Car names (on YouTube)...how the name explains everything about the car.
"...have you seen the new Infinity? ...They name that thing after the car payments."
"I'm driving down the street; I hit some guy...[BOOM]...I didn't see him,...he was in a Mirage. I told him, 'you should have been in a Dodge!'"
Of course it's funnier to hear his own presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdVWNLBZMws
- Polina said...
I have never payed attention to car names before - many of them are really funny or ridiculous... What you post has made me wish is - to find out what car names you do like. after reading this articles all of them start looking suspicious to me:)))
- Zukiru said...
I often wonder if my 86 Subaru XT
might have been more popular if they had used the Japanese name "Alcyone"
oh well.. I rather dislike the alphabet soup approach myself.
The RX was popular
the XT wasn't! I wonder why!
- auto parts addict said...
Those car names were not given for no reason at all. i think that's part of an effective marketing strategy.

Illinois officials have put a hold on plans to require permits for most all-terrain vehicles.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reports the Illinois Department of Natural Resources won't require off-highway vehicle owners to buy the permits until further notice.
Lawmakers approved the new $15 fee for ATVs last year. It was set to take effect April 1.
But legislators say they need more time to look at the law and possibly clear up confusion about who must buy the permits.
IDNR Director Marc Miller says the delay is "a good faith effort" to make sure all rules are in place before vehicle owners have to buy a stamp.
Money from the permits was tentatively slated to develop trails and parks for use by ATVs.

Autogenic and reciprocal inhibition both occur when certain muscles are inhibited from contracting due to the activation of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) and the muscle spindles. These two musculotendinous proprioceptors located in and around the joints and muscles respond to changes in muscle tension and length, which helps manage muscular control and coordination.
The GTO, located between the muscle belly and its tendon, senses increasedtension when the muscle contracts or stretches. When the muscle contracts, the GTO is activated and responds by inhibiting this contraction (reflex inhibition) and contracting the opposing (antagonist) muscle group. This process is known as autogenic inhibition.
The GTO response plays an important role in flexibility. When the GTO inhibits the (agonist) muscle's contraction and allows the antagonist muscle to contract more readily, the muscle can be stretched further and easier. Autogenic inhibition is often seen during static stretching, such as during a low-force, long-duration stretch. After 7 to 10 seconds, muscle tension increases and activates the GTO response, causing the muscle spindle in the stretched muscle to be inhibited temporarily, which makes it possible to stretch the muscle further.
The muscle spindle is located within the muscle belly and stretches along with the muscle itself. When this occurs, the muscle spindle is activated and causes a reflexive contraction in the agonist muscle (known as the stretch reflex) and relaxation in the antagonist muscle. This process is known as reciprocal inhibition.
Reciprocal inhibition is often seen during dynamic stretching. One example is when an individual is able to increase their vertical jump height when they squat down (incorporating a pre-stretch) prior to jumping, versus an athlete who jumps up after holding a static squat position for several seconds.
Here is a table to help understand how both types of inhibition affect the agonist and antagonist muscle groups:
Autogenic Inhibition
Reciprocal Inhibition
Agonist Muscle Group
Antagonist Muscle Group

Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection that results in collections of pus in the body.
|Abdominal Abscess
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Actinomycosis is most often caused by infection by specific bacteria. This is normally present in the mouth, and sometimes in the intestines. The jaw is most commonly involved, with lung and abdominal infections being less common. Rarely, women may develop abscesses in the reproductive organs or bladder.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of actinomycosis include:
- Having a dental disease or recent dental surgery
- Liquids or solids that are sucked into the lungs
- Having bowel surgery
- Swallowing fragments of chicken or other bones
- Having an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) in place for many years
- Diabetes
- Having a weakened immune system
- Malnutrition
- Tissue damage
- Chronic granulomatous disease or other disorder that affects the immune system (children)
Actinomycosis may cause:
- Hard swellings that are usually painless and located around the mouth, neck, or jaw
- Swellings that may produce pus containing tiny, yellowish particles
- Drainage of pus through the skin of the chest or abdomen
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Cough that produces sputum or blood
- Noticeable swelling or firm mass in the abdomen, especially the lower part
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Analyses of pus, sputum, or tissue
- X-ray
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Actinomycosis is treated with long-term antibiotics and by draining pus-containing abscesses.
The best way to reduce your chances of developing actinomycosis is to prevent dental disease by practicing good dental hygiene and regularly visiting your dentist. You should:
- Brush your teeth twice a day
- Floss daily
- Replace your toothbrush regularly

Neko Case Earns Two Grammy Nominations, Capping Breakout Year
*Neko Case Earns Two Grammy Nominations, Capping Breakout Year*
*In December, Look for Neko in Two TV Appearances - As "Guest Programmer" on Turner Classic Movies and on Elvis Costello's "Spectacle" (Sundance)*
Capping an exceptionally successful 2009, Neko Case has earned the first Grammy nominations of her career for her album 'Middle Cyclone' (Anti- Records). The chart-topping release, nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Recording Package, has been the best-reviewed and fastest-selling album of her career.
Case's two upcoming T.V. appearances this December are both coups - on December 8, the Turner Classic Movies channel will feature Case - an ardent film fan - all evening as "guest programmer" with host Robert Osborne; and on December 16, she will be a guest on Elvis Costello's acclaimed music/talk series "Spectacle" (Sundance Channel). On "Spectacle" she will join Costello, Sheryl Crow, Ron Sexsmith and Jesse Winchester for a 'guitar pull' -- a swapping of songs and stories.
Case's label, Anti- Records, has also announced that, beginning today, it is offering a limited edition, museum-quality giclee art print of the 'Middle Cyclone' album cover. It may be purchased at the label's on-line store: http://bit.ly/7gwf6R . Pitchfork Magazine recently cited the striking package as "Reigning 2009 Album Art Champ," while Paste Magazine went a step further, naming 'Middle Cyclone' the top album cover of the decade.
'Middle Cyclone' was the highest debuting independent release of 2009 to date, bowing at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in March, as well as #1 on the Top Independent Albums chart. Amazon recently named it the best album of 2009 on its annual year-end list.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012 - Rudy and Kaja - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Rudy Bodlak and Kaja Kolomaz are sitting on a sofa studying their books when they are joined by their German teacher who instructs them on a few words, translating them from English to german. Then the teacher leaves them to practice the words. Kaja and Rudy get right to it, kissing and groping each other. They open their jeans so that their hands can feel their cocks. Then, after kissing some more, the jeans are removed. Rudy, rightaway takes hold of Kaja's cock and starts to suck on it. That cock quickly gets very hard as Rudy sucks on it. His own cock swells to its full size as well. Kaja's hand is on Rudy's head pushing him down on that hard cock. Rudy is good at sucking and has Kaja's dick throbbing in no time at all. He licks up and down the shaft and swallows the head. Kaja then starts to fuck that mouth, thrusting his cock up and down as he holds Rudy's head in place. When Rudy has sucked enough he gets up on his knees and Kaja returns the favor, his mouth enveloping that thick dick. Kaja loves cock and sucks Rudy's real well, his head bobbing as he swallows as much as he can. Then Rudy turns around and presents his hot ass for some attention. Kaja's tongue quickly gets to work, licking the tight hole, getting it nice and wet and ready for more. Then Kaja stands up and slides his cock deep into Rudy's waiting ass. Rudy is rock hard as his ass takes Kaja's dick. Kaja fucks with a nice motion, his dick sliding in and out with ease. Then he lays on the sofa and Rudy sits his ass down on that throbbing dick. He rides that cock real well, with his own hard cock bouncing up and down as he does. Then they change position again, with Rudy on his back, legs up. Kaja pounds his cock into Rudy's ass, fucking hard and fast. It's not long before Kaja is ready to cum and he pulls out, shooting over Rudy's chest. Rudy quickly takes that spent cock in his mouth to clean it off. Then he needs to cum himself. Kaja positions himself as Rudy shoots his load, so that he can suck that cock dry. Then to finish off he licks as the cum on Rudy's belly. What a lovely shoot from two every good guys.
Roman Klaska and Paul Fresh are two very well built guys who came in for a submission wrestling shoot. After helping each other with some warm-up and stretching exercises they start the match. Roman seems to be an experienced wrestler and it isn't long before he has won the first round. The guys then remove their underwear and start the wrestling again. Their is a lot of grunting and groaning as they each try to gain ascendancy. They trade the next couple of rounds before Roman pulls into a bit of a lead in the match. However Paul is not one to give up and fights back, really working hard to take control of the match. He draws level at 5-5 and then moves into a lead. At 5-7 to Paul they take a breather to oil each other's bodies and then back to the match. But there is no way back for Roman who, try as he might, cannot recover his early form. Paul moves into an unassailable lead and finally wins 5-10. Then the guys settle down for the wank off. After a quick wank of each other's cocks it is Paul who is the first to blow his load, the cum shooting out all over the place. Roman then follows with his cum as well. After cleaning each other's cocks they go off to the shower to wash all that oil off their bodies, to finish a very nice match.
Filip Cervenka is aged 19 and lives in Ostrava. He works as an electrician and enjoys sports, particularly football. He is a really nice guy who has really created a very good impression with certain members of our crew. After his interview Filip gets right to work. He stands and runs his hand over his body, lifting his tee-shirt to show off his body. Then he removes the tee-shirt and we see a very nice chest. He slips a hand into his underwear as well, feeling his cock. When he pushes the jeans and underwear down he releases a big, thick cock that is already rock hard. He takes hold of it and wanks it a bit, keeping it hard. Then Filip turns and shows off his sexy ass. As his hands pull the cheeks apart we see into his dark-haired crack. Then he lays, face down on the sofa and a helpig hand arrives and begins to massage him. The hands glide, smoothly over Filips body, pulling his ass cheeks apart again to show us that tight hole. Then Filip turns over and the hands start to oil his body. Filip begins to wank his cock as the hands work on him. As his cock gets nice and hard again the hands pulls the legs up in the air to expose that sexy ass. Filip is so horny though that it is not long before he drops his legs and shoots his cum for us. Then it is off to the shower to clean up. What a lovely shoot, from a very good looking guy.
Valeriy Vilemcuk is aged 19 and lives in Usti nad Labem. He works as a waiter and tells us that he enjoys his work, football and jogging. He is a good looking guy who certainly looks very comfortable in front of the camera. In this session stills shoot Valeriy gets naked quite quickly, showing us his ass first and then turning to let us see his soft cock and low hanging balls. Then he gets his cock hard, and the foresking retracts back over the head of his cock very nicely. That cock looks very good as he poses for the camera, with it standing fully to attention. Valeriy then shows us that sexy ass again, this time positioning himself so that the cheeks a very well spread, exposing his tight little pucker hole. As he shows it he has his hard cock pushed bown between his legs as well. Finally we are treated to another full display of that gorgeous cock. After enjoying Valeriy in some duo shoots it is great to see this lovely solo shoot from Valeriy. I will certainly be looking forward to seeing his erotic video next week.

There's no question about the importance of drums and percussion in music. If you're playing energetic songs for a live audience, it's the rhythm
that'll get them moving and the drums have to create that rhythm. Even in more subtle, softer genres and styles, the right application of percussion sounds and effects
goes an incredibly long way to setting mood and atmosphere. This isn't just the oldest instrument family on the stage: it just might be the most crucial one as well. Some
of our top brands in this category are: Zildjian, Paiste, Meinl Percussion, Pearl, Remo,
For the lion's share of rock and pop music, you're looking at a classic drum set: tom-toms, snares, bass and cymbals. You'll find a huge selection of these staple instruments here, in as many varieties as you could name. If you're just starting out with the drums, take a look at shell packs and drum sets to get up and running in a hurry. On the other hand, if you're a veteran drummer, chances are that you'd prefer to pick and choose your instruments individually and only the best holders for your sticks will do. For the adventurous among us, there are electronic drum sets, which open up the unlimited potential of customized samples. Whatever you want to do to distinguish yourself from other drummers, this is where you can find the instruments to get there.
One of the best things about percussion is that there are no real boundaries. With talent and a knack for making rhythms, you can integrate virtually anything into a melody. It's that sort of ingenuity that gave rise to a lot of the handheld and world percussion available here. Take the cajon for example; this drum is descended from simple shipping crates but it's now become a precision instrument with tons of potential and character.
It's a fact that standard drum sets and cymbals are only scratching the surface of what percussion can do. In this section, it's easy to see just how deep your potential is as a drummer with plenty of the usual suspects as well as a ton of more exotic instruments and accessories. If you're ready to bring the rhythms and beats to the stage, you've got thousands of ways right here to make it happen.
