Honda Commercials Are Awesome!

I’ve posted some Honda commercials here before - but you should realize by now that Honda has a pretty good marketing group. They have some funny commercials, but you’ll also notice they have some that show off how bad-a their cars can be.

I have owned my Acura TL 3.2 for about a year and a half now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It drives like a dream, gets good fuel economy in both highway and city traffic, and very little maintenance required. Not to mention with the V6 engine inside, it roars like a race car when I accelerate on the highway.

Honda’s commercial, “Difficult is worth doing” reflects Honda’s attitude towards vehicle making. The best, most innovative new features and safety design, are all worth the time and painstaking effort required to create them, in order to bring you the most astounding vehicles on the road today.

What if your car kept doing this?

Wouldn’t it be awful if your car kept doing this? I know it’d be pretty cool the first couple of times, but after that, it’d probably just be plain annoying. I like how this resembles the internet video from a while back where the cars would transform, but it was an intended function of the car, like a security system or something? I don’t quite remember. It’s a clever ad for Chevrolet Europe, nonetheless.

Do Auto Service Like a Pro Mechanic

I know a lot of guys that are either really into car maintenance and service, or at least wish they were. It’s something manly I think to be able to work on your car for most small things - it saves money and you don’t have to feel sheepish or like you’re getting screwed at the mechanic.

It also feels perfectly acceptable if you’re not a skilled mechanic to take your car in for larger repairs or difficult and time-consuming maintenance. And ladies, it’s also perfectly not unladylike to know how to work on your cars. In fact, it’s kind of impressive to me!

If you’re serious about your car maintenance and repair, you can have the same tools and products that mechanics use in the shop at your home garage. Lane’s Auto Care products and Professional Car Care sells only top-quality covers, cleaners, brushes, car wax and other maintenance and care products.

The products Lane’s carries are high-quality, concentrated industrial strength cleaners, which should get out any tough stain or grime in your vehicle. With the right set of detailing tools and supplies, you should be able to restore your car back to it’s factory sparkle. (It does not, unfortunately, remove dents and dings and cover up scratches, but you’ll at least have a sparkly dented car!)

Find Your Next Car on eBay Motors

Almost a decade ago, an internet company changed the way people do things online and probably provided one of the biggest boons to internet commerce in history. EBay, Inc. has the right to call itself one of the world’s biggest online marketplaces.

Nearly everyone I know has either bought something or sold something on EBay in the past. One of the oft-neglected areas of EBay I have yet to shop is eBay Motors. As it turns out, they have a pretty big selection of cars from both private sellers and big car dealerships. Take a look, and as always with any online purchase, do your homework before buying.

New Yorkers Ride in Style with Dial 7

New York City business people have a new car service to get rides both to and from places like Manhattan, Brooklyn, New York City, and even New Jersey. Dial 7 has a fleet of over 450 town cars and sedans toted to provide safe and reliable transportation throughout New York.

Why would you need a car service, if you’re not using one already? Parking is extremely limited and competitive in the city, and if you’re always on the go and in a hurry, you don’t have time to find a parking space everywhere you go. You could take a taxi, but that can always be a gamble. With a car service, you can be picked up and dropped off without worrying about finding a space and arriving at your appointments on time. Or, never miss your flight with their NJ airport car service. It’ll also save you from leaving your car in airport parking while you’re gone, and possibly having it broken into or stolen.
