Changes to Mazda Strategy Resulted in Decreases; Leadership Unconcerned

When you operate a business there may be times when changes you make to the products and services you provide set you back a little before you regain the traction you once had. As long as you are fully aware of that fact before you take on the new venture, you can plan for and be prepared for the lean times that come before the increases.

We’ve had designers that were well respected that tried to build something that never caught on or others that have had ideas that we swear came after drawing on a napkin after a night of partying.

A Cool Part of Your Car

You might not think about the hood of your car much, especially if you drive around in one of the many commuter cars or SUVs that doesn’t require much style or added function of the hood to perform.

The purpose of this item is to protect the engine bay from debris and items that could potentially damage the engine and cause you to have to deal with a difficult situation in the repair shop.

Special Edition Models that Aren’t Special

There are times when the special edition model of a vehicle is exciting and makes us want to spend the extra money to be one of the few people who own one.

Faster Formula One Cars

When you see the new Formula One cars on the track this year you’ll see cars that look like they barely slow down in the corners. You couldn’t take your street car, even if it’s a sports car, and do what these cars are doing on the track. In fact most streets cars are only about one-eight as capable as these impressive Formula One cars are at the track and the only real limiting factor inside these cars is coming down to the driver and what they’re willing and able to endure during a race.

If you’ve ever seen the repair bill for a luxury SUV after its been out on the paths without pavement you’d be shocked and never want to take it on the trails again.

Off Road Driving is the Way to Go

We’ve probably all dreamed about heading off the paved paths and checking out the trails and wilderness that’s a huge part of what this country still has to offer. Currently the total percentage of paved roads to land space is less than 0.1 percent which means there’s a large and a lot of country out there for you to explore if you have the right vehicle and the tools needed to do it.
