Cruising through MyNissanLeaf, we came across a fantastic post by planet4ever. I’ve been really excited that I found this messageboard for awhile now (even linked to it from the Boardwalk Nissan Home Page), and it’s finds like this that prove how useful, and how community oriented boards like that can be. planet4ever took his time [...]
Ford has quite the little car on their hands. The new Fiesta has been going through a trial period in the US, with very clever marketing done by Ford showcasing it’s progress. Gone is the hamster on a wheel excuse for an engine, boring box styling, and the Rubbermaid interior of the original that wheezed [...]
While most of the lifeboats hang in their davits, a few have splashed down and are rowing away from the sinking ship that is GM. Prudently offering Saturn, Saab and Hummer for sale, GM finally has a $600 Million bite on their lure. Taking a government backed loan from the European Investment Bank, Koenigsegg Group [...]
Well my dear friend, it’s a day of celebration. 106 years, numerous logos, good times and bad, and you’re still out on the dance floor till closing time. While your two biggest competitors are downing their Geritol, wallowing in debt, and making everyone question American cars, you’re still kicking ass and taking names. Many companies [...]
Imagine you’re driving to work, down Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, NC. It’s barely past dawn, and as you get closer to a small construction site, you come across this little work of art. Barrel Monster, the culmination of boredom and art, had his materials stolen from the site, and returned to direct traffic, albeit in [...]
So here you are, overheating again on the side of the road in 50 degree weather, with your trusty old college car starting to give up the ghost. Problem with your old college car, is well, it was old in college, and you’re now in your 30′s. You’ve wanted to replace it, but it’s worth [...]
Amid quite a lot of fanfare, GM employees at the Bowling Green plant have something to smile about in these tough times. They just finished the 1,500,000th Corvette. Bowling Green might still be taking a production break, GM might be in Chapter 11, but let that sink in again. 1.5 million Corvettes. That is something [...]
So the sad fact has finally reared it’s ugly head. GM, the largest and most diverse company to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, is looking for the best path through the mess they’ve been mired in. While Chapter 11 gives them the ability to operate, the company that will emerge will be vastly different than [...]
It’s no great secret that the United States has a tough time recruiting new soldiers these days. Always clever though, the military offers plenty of programs to help entice young adults into serving their nation. Whether it’s money for college, money to help buy a house, or kick starting your life away from the boring [...]
KarFarm recently gave a few tips on what to do after you’ve been pulled over by the Police, but what did you really do in the first place? Not too many people get pulled over for heinous crimes because most people don’t commit them. Every driver has an image in their mind that they are [...]
Volkswagen has a long standing tradition of standing behind their diesel (TDI) products. Whether it is racing a TDI Touareg up Pikes Peak, or promoting the use of Biodiesel, VW has quite a loyalty to their TDI drivers. They recently just launched a factory blog to help promote the benefits of clean diesel, and to [...]
Well there goes my low insurance rates. Are my tags expired? Are those old parking tickets paid? What is the Officer going to find? Why was I even pulled over? There are many questions that race through your head the second you see the red and blue lights flash behind you. Everything from “I know [...]
Combining the best hypermiling techniques in the book, and a few professional drivers, Ford did it. Their goal was 1,000 miles on one tank of gas with a bone stock Fusion Hybrid, and here at KarFarm, we were a little suspicious of that goal. Hitting that mark would require a total tank average of 57 [...]
KarFarm recently showcased some of the ways GM is planning to survive these tough times, but now the writing has been set in stone.
