Gas Mileage Lies

On morning news there was a sniped about a lady who sued Honda for misrepresentation of their gas mileage. It was in small claims court, but still won $10,000. Interesting! It has become pretty much accepted, by all of us, what the sticker gas mileage would be under ideal condition. I am glad someone has stepped up to say, "We are not going to take it anymore!" When I look at different makes...

Touch Screen Desktop Computers

I first saw touch screens computers in the food processing industry back in the late 90's. Since then the technology and the price has been slowly been dropping. As a result we now see more cell phones with touch screens than without. The overall adoption of a touch screen desktop computer has been slow mostly because of the cost. We are seeing the price going under the $1,000 mark. This makes ...

Social Responsible Buying

Last week the name Foxconn and Apple were in all the headlines. It was not about great profits, or some new electronic gadget. It was about the inhumane treatment of the workers in China. What is interesting to note is that Foxconn does not just manufacture electronics for Apple. Foxconn manufacture over 50% of the electronics sold in the United States. Mistreatment of works or labors misbeh...

Secrets of Shopping Wal Mart

Midday on any Saturday or Sunday, at Wal Mart, finds families and couples getting their weekly shopping done. We are at the end of January. People are starting to recover from the Christmas shopping madness. Walking we were greeted by a your 60 oriental lady. I think it is great that Wal Mart seek to find jobs for elderly on fixed incomes. After a quick stop by the cosmetic section for some...

Search for a Practical Usable Tablet

Since before Thanksgiving I have been slowing giving into the idea of getting a tablet. I have looked at all the major brands of tablets and eReaders. I have been trying to imagine how often I would use it. I watch how other people would use their tablets. While attending a local trade show I noticed a large majority of the vendors were using iPads. There were only a few who had other tablets....

Cruise or Not to Cruise

Here we are at the end of January 2012. Texas is getting heavy rains. Snow and Cold is covering most all of the northern hemisphere. I close my eyes and think of a hot summer day with the sun beating down on may face. Then in an instant, I jump into a nice cool swimming pool. Yes, what better time to plan a summer vacation than when the chilling cold is biting your bones, and the sky is all gloomy...

When Not to File an Insurance Claim

Have you been in an auto accident or had water damage from the washing machine over flowing? Then got on the phone calling your insurance company for a claim that was only for a few hundred dollars. Did you know you do not have to file an insurance claim every time you are eligible to file. If you read your insurance policy carefully, you will find you will be penalized if you file ...

Groupon Coupon Yollar Crazy

I a generally stay away from the whole cutting of coupons. The putting them into an organized folder, and taking this big folder to the grocery store. In addition I get frustrated when I have to look for the brand and size of soda matches my coupon. The few time I did take coupons, I found myself spending about the same amount of money, while getting stuff I would not normally get. It is one ...

Tax Season Cometh

From the end of January to April 15th is the traditional season for getting our taxes done. Some of us procrastinate so much we have to file an extension with the IRS. Accountants, bookkeepers, and those who do tax preparation are busy. In the grand scheme of things we need to pay taxes to we can get services from our government like fire, police, and military. Still we do not need to pay more t...

Shopping for a 2011 Honda Pilot

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on June 8, 2011 in Automotive - Comments: Comments Off

The 2011 Honda Pilot is one of those SUV crossover vehicles that you don’t see many commercials on television. At first looks it is just another crossover. It came to my attention as through one of the top 10 list for 2011.

When I visited Wikipedia.com I was impressed by the list of reconizations of the Honda Pilot. Car and Driver magazine’s Best Large SUV for 2003 through 2008, Intellichoice “Best Value of the Year”, Edmunds.com “Most Wanted SUV”, AMI Auto World “World Family Vehicle of the Year”, and Kelley Blue Book “Top 50 Most Popular Cars” all make a very impressive list of recommendations.

Auto Recon – Ford Fusion

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on November 25, 2009 in Automotive - Comments: 6 Comments »

Ford Fusion Back in the 70′s and 80′s there were jokes going around about Ford. People would take the letters of the word Ford and say make snide remarks like Fix Or Repair Daily, or Found On Road Dead. I haven’t heard any of those jokes for quite some time.

That being said, My recon team wanted me to take note that the Ford Fusion enthusiast have their own website call FordFusion.net. It seems that people who own the Ford Fusion do like and enjoy the driving experience.
