Sometimes it can be hard to find all the car dealerships and auto mechanics around you, particularly if you’re new to the area. Bigger metro areas can have hundreds of locations, and it’s often very difficult to find the right one. Despite the advancements of the internet, we still haven’t found a good way to sort through all this information.
Car Dealerships Directory recently asked me to take a look at their website and evaluate it… Continue Reading…
Amazon just created this cool new parts finder which makes it easy to find all the parts and accessories they carry for your car.
As you can see, just enter your Year, Make, and Model of your car, hit “Go” and it will bring you to the Amazon Automotive page showing you all of the parts compatible with your car. You’d be surprised at how many parts they come up with - Amazon now has over 3.5 million parts in their automotive section.
Give it a try, let me know what you think.

Ok, not for real, but FerrariWorld has a really cool high-def in-car visualization tool. You can check it out below:
It appears Ferrari took down the visualization.
Just hover your mouse cursor over the image, and as you can see, you can look around 360 degrees from the driver’s seat. How cool! They also add some points of interest, explaining some key points of the car.
I know the embedded version isn’t that great because it’s small, but you can view the thing, full screen here: Ferrari F430 Spider Scuderia in-car visualization
ExpoTV, an online video review website, is offering members $20 for each review they submit of a 2008 or 2009 automobile.

Garage space, the final frontier … or it will be for you after you peruse this site I literally just tripped over (and that’s why I’m posting late today, this site is a real time sink).
Called “Bring A Trailer” it’s like a combination of Hemmings, Craig’s List and the “practical” side of you’re brain that talks you out of buying things like basket case Renaults and into buying things like fully sorted Saab rally cars.
Oh yes, car guy heaven. The things they have.
Things like 1967 Alfa Romeo Duettos in pristine shape for $27,500. 1969 Porsche 912s for only $8K. Early Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprints for $23,102
Damn!
“Barn finds, rally cars, and needles in the haystack…We put together Bringatrailer.com because finding great vintage cars online has become too much of a hassle. There is no need to keep sifting through hundreds of hopeless projects or overpriced dealer inventories to find that one car you’ve been looking for. We pick the winners and save you the trouble… the best bargains, the best dream cars, and the best rarities.” So say the boys that run the site, and who am I to argue.
Now we’re talking!
Now I got to go find more garage space.
Shoot! That’s the/my problem (apart from funds): Garage space.
