CONCEPT CARS..FUTURE OR FRAUD?

OK, below I have included 2 concept cars and one classic.While I don't want to nitpick each one in details, I have to ask you..which one is sexier? If you're under 30 I'm guessing you'd go for the concept cars..who could blame you? The BMW is also a hybrid so you can quell your green yuppie guilt for buying one and justify your smaller carbon footprint.
BUT..that beast of a muscle car is all about pure, raw power!! The kind that when you start that car up and it roars to life your heart actually skips a beat. It's about all-out loud, screaming hard rock-n-roll blaring with the windows down and the smell of the tires burning as you jump that throttle. Everything gets pushed backward giving your neck a little whip and before you know it you are climbing to warp speed before you can figure out how fast that first cop is going to nail you on the radar.
Now I ask you again...you want to be correct or do you want to twist Detroit, American-made steel monster block engines into some real fun?? Where has all the fun in cars gone.....til next time...

Happy 2013! It's not the end of the world...is it?

It's a brand new year and everything will hopefully be better in the world with a fresh new start.Even North Korea has announced they will try to get along with South Korea so that's got to be a step in the right direction-right? First, I'd like to hit on a pet peeve that really hit home this December with Christmas shopping. Like most of you I'm sure, I shopped online this year. I decided to find a normally very expensive designer gift for my daughter hopefully with a little discount on that very famous site E***. Have you ever tried this? You hope it's not a hot item, you hope you can trust that the seller is honest with you, you hope it ships in time and that you don't think you're going to get gouged with enormous shipping charges to make up for the great discount. Well, I got screwed. I didn't get my item as described, the condition was awful, and to top it all off the seller didn't charge/quote me enough shipping so when I retrieved the box from the post office I had to pay the difference!! Of course the seller ignores my emails, and there is no shot at a refund-really? This is why Hubcapzone will not sell on these type sites! We are always willing to go the distance to provide you with website pics,email, and phone options. We also offer FREE shipping without a minimum order and we also offer a replacement or refund option to make sure you are 100% satisfied. Personal attention is our goal and we will bend over backwards to make it happen, you have our word. Don't fall for the oldest trick in the book where they price down an item to lure you in just to drown you in "shipping and handling" charges...what is handling anyway? Putting it in a box?? Give me a break..Give us a chance..you won't be sorry! Til next time..have a wonderful New Year!
