I just ran a survey of the newly listed properties from the last 30 days. I have to say that I am quite surprised by what I found... I was looking specifically for how the listings were presented. We know from every bit of research done on buyer behavior that photos and virtual tours are among

This one isn't as specific as some of the other 101 Cars... this is a category. and frankly, if someone calls me and asks me if I want to beat on drive their Trophy Truck... I'm not asking what brand it is. I'm asking what time I have to show up and if I have to trade my wife. Trophy truck in the

This is a two part post. It first give me an excuse to showcase a car that I think it too cool... The Subaru WRX STi. All Wheel Drive, turbo charged power, a great rallying history, plenty of mods available. It also allows me to talk about rally drivers... These guys have skills. In the US, they

Ok, as I sit here... just off of a conversation with Santa, and almost ready for my own off-spring to destroy the family room with Santa's bounty (ok, there will be destruction... me and the 4 year old got matching RC cars...), I thought I would pass along some helpful hints to file away for next

He is NOT the guy you think he is... To start with, there are so many people that think that Rudolph is an actual reindeer... It isn't. While Santa was here, we went and popped the hood on the sleigh. That is a serious heavy duty piece of equipment. Red phase Ultraviolet Dynamic Ocular LED P
