1) KITT, 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, “Knight Rider” – David Hasselhoff may have been the show’s star, but KITT was the main attraction. The supercomputer controlling this black Trans Am rendered it intelligent, sarcastic, bulletproof and able to jump over obstacles. The closest most of us will get to a talking car is using a navigation system.

2) The General Lee, 1969 Dodge Charger, “The Dukes of Hazzard” – The General Lee and KITT were neck and neck for the top spot. Although the iconic orange Charger had legions of teens attempting Luke Duke’s opening-credits hood slide, KITT won out for having enough gadgets to make James Bond jealous.

3) The Mystery Machine, “Scooby-Doo” – Not only could this multicolored van hold a quizzical Great Dane and four meddling kids, but there was also plenty of room for the Harlem Globetrotters, Don Knotts and whatever other guest stars dropped by for some ghost hunting.

4) Ferrari 308 GTS, “Magnum, P.I.” – Thomas Magnum lives in a guest house on a gorgeous Hawaiian estate, works sporadically and drives his employer’s cherry red Ferrari whenever and wherever he wants. How great is that?

5) Batmobile, modified 1955 Lincoln Futura concept, “Batman” – Forget the various Batman movies; Adam West’s Batmobile is the one everyone remembers best. With the long fins, afterburner and assorted bat-gizmos, the Penguin never stood a chance.

6) 1975 Ford Gran Torino, “Starsky and Hutch” – Although the Gran Torino wasn’t quite as popular as other muscle cars of its era, this “Striped Tomato” wasn’t without fans. Ford even released a limited-edition version painted to look like David Starsky’s.

7) 1973 Chevrolet El Camino, “My Name is Earl” – This is by no means the best-looking car on the list. It’s dusty, full of trash and repaired with enough spare parts to create a multicolored mess. Still, there’s something poetic about Earl embarking on his karmic quest in a pieced-together El Camino.

1983 GMC G-Series, “The A-Team” – Who better to own a van that’s continually crashed, chased, disassembled and shot at than former military man and master mechanic B.A. Baracus?

9) Mach 5, “Speed Racer” – This 5,000-horsepower racing machine had seven buttons on the steering wheel that could adjust road traction, slice obstacles out of the way, turn the car into a submarine and more – and that was 40 years ago.

10) 2005 Maserati Quattroporte, “Entourage” – If you’re lucky enough to ride Aquaman’s coattails all the way to a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle, a new Maserati is just icing on the cake. “Entourage” got a whole new generation of drivers drooling over this classy Italian exotic.

Honorable Mentions

The Flintmobile, “The Flintstones” – Without an engine or real brakes, it couldn’t crack the Top 10.

1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible, “Nash Bridges” – Don Johnson revisits the police drama in a bright yellow convertible.

Toyota Pickup, “Baywatch” – Wasn’t everyone watching “Baywatch” for the shots of Mitch’s yellow truck speeding down the beach to a dramatic rescue?

Pontiac Firebird, “Rockford Files” – Who needs Magnum’s Hawaiian estate and red Ferrari when you have Jim Rockford’s rundown L.A. trailer and a gold Firebird?

However, some mistakes repeat more than others. Examiners keep telling students about their mistakes, but with no hope – students still make the same old silly mistakes. Those mistakes are easy to avoid if you know what you do.

One big mistake is not making complete stops. Many students “roll” through the intersection without completely stopping at the limit line. This is more serious on right turns on red light. Many students forget to make a complete stop and just slow down, make sure traffic is clear, and continue. This is wrong and fails many students. Not to mention it is highly illegal, and when driving alone it can award the non-stopper with a big fine.

Another problem students have is lane changes. In theory, going from one lane to another is the easiest mission on earth: you signal, check that the area is clear, and move into the lane you want. For some people it is not very easy, and they often reach a situation of a near-accident. This, of course, is an automatic fail.

Lack of confidence and over-caution are two reasons that also fail many applicants. They tend to think that if they drive under the speed limit, they are safe. There is nothing further from the truth. Slow driving is a critical error, an error that means an automatic fail. Also, if the examiner tells a student too shy to take his turn on a stop sign what to do, the test is also over.

The key to avoid all these mistakes is practice. The old cliche, “Practice makes perfect”, is the best advice for driving and learning to drive.

Insure.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSUR) has revealed 12 factors that you did not know about your car insurance policy that may be costing you money.

1. You WILL pay for your friend’s bad driving skills

If you let your friend borrow your car and that friend crashes your car you will have to file the claim with your insurance company. Furthermore, you’ll have to pay the deductible. Even though you might get your friend to reimburse you for the deductible, your insurance rates will go up.

2. Stuff that’s In your Car Is Not Covered

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine bought some expensive golf clubs at an auction for Mr. Peterman and she left them in Jerry Seinfeld’s car? And when Jerry had his car worked on by the brother from “Who Loves Raymond” the mechanic started throwing the golf clubs out of the car? Well, guess what? Stuff in your car, even stolen or damaged items like CDs, your iPod, or your cell phone is not covered by your car insurance.

3. You may be entitled to payment for sales tax and registration fees for a new car

If you wreck your car the car insurance company is required to pay sales tax on total loss settlement. Some states require it and some require that sales tax only be paid if you purchase a replace car within a certain time period. In any case, make a request for a sales tax reimbursement no matter where you live.

4. You may be entitled to a diminished value claim in some states

Diminished value means that even though repairs were done to your car after an accident, it’s always going to be worth less: because your car was in an accident. Most states all car insurance companies to use language in your insurance policy that officially “disallows diminished value claims”.

According to Insure.com, there is one way that you may be entitled to a diminished value claim: “If someone else hits you and you make a damage claim on that person’s insurance. That’s called a third-party claim and it’s possible to get diminished value damages as a third party.”

5. Stack Your Insurance Coverage and You’ll Save

If you’re able to, you should “stack” your insurance coverage. Stacking your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage means that you can collect payment more than once within the same auto policy or across two auto policies. There are two different ways you could stack your insurance coverage:

1. If you own more than one car, you can collect the limit of your uninsured/underinsured policy to cover full payment for damages.

2. If you have more than one car insurance policy with uninsured/underinsured coverage, you can make a claim under each policy until all your damages are recovered.

In any case, though, make sure you check your individual insurance policy to see if stacking is allowed.

6. Making a Claim Will Increase your Car Insurance Premium

If you make a claim on your car insurance policy, there’s a good chance that your rates will go up. Whether or not your premium goes up and how much it goes up depends on many difference factors. For example, if you make a claim on your insurance and you birthday falls before the time you have to renew your policy, your age might bump you up to another higher risk category. Combine that with your recent insurance claim and BINGO! Your car insurance premium goes up.

Some insurance companies like Allstate have “accident forgiveness” policies/guidelines. When you buy or renew your auto policy, make sure you ask how to qualify for accident forgiveness and if the insurance company even offers it to you.

7. Don’t drive a lot? Make Sure your Insurance Company Knows

If you do not drive a lot or you recently moved closer to your job (or got a new job that is closer to your house than your old job) you may not drive as much as you used to. Make sure your car insurance company knows how much you drive (how many miles per year your drive). That could save you some money on your insurance premiums.

There’s also such a thing as “usage based’ policies that allow you to buy car insurance based on how much you actually drive. If you don’t drive much, according to Insure.com, “this could save you up to 60 percent on your insurance. Progressive is the first insurance company to offer “pay-as-you-drive” policies through its MyRate program. Your mileage will be measured by a wireless device installed in a car port.”

If your car insurance company does not offer usage-based coverage, ask them about a “low-mileage discount”.

8. Your Credit Score Effects your Premium

Car insurance companies think that your credit score is an indication of whether or not you are going to make a claim on your car insurance. They also think that people with low credit scores tend to be bad drivers. Certain states actually allow car insurance companies to base your rate on your credit score and your credit history. Move to another state where this isn’t allowed or work on getting your credit score up.

Talk to a credit repair service about negative items on your credit and other things that will get your credit score higher.

9. Switch Insurance Companies? Make Sure you Cancel your Coverage

You can cancel your insurance coverage at any time by notifying your insurance company in writing. Tell them the date that you are terminating. If you intend to switch insurance companies make sure that you time it right; and tell your old insurance company that you’re leaving them.

Do NOT assume that if you decide to terminate your car insurance policy at the end of the coverage period, you can ignore your insurance bill. Insurance companies don’t see it that way. The insurance company will send you another bill for the next payment. When you don’t pay it, the old insurance company can cancel you for nonpayment: and that goes on your credit history.

10. Wait to Add your Teenager Until they Get their License

Most car insurance companies do not require that you add your teenager to your insurance policy until they actually have their driver’s license. There may be exceptions to this, especially if you are in what they call a “high-risk insurance pool”. In some cases you might have to tell your insurance company to add your teenager to your insurance policy when your kid gets their permit.

11. Paying in Installment Increases Your Bill

If you choose to pay your car insurance premium in “installments”, check to see how much more it’s going to cost you. According to Insure.com, “fees are usually charged when you divide your annual premium payment into installments rather than pay for a year of coverage all at once. It can be as little as a few dollars per payment, but the more you break it down, the more it adds up. When you apply for the policy, ask what the fees are for paying in installments. If you can, pay your annual premium all at once.”

12. What Kind of Car you Drive Effects How Much You’ll Pay

You will pay a different amount for car insurance depending on the car you drive. And every car is different. Car insurance companies have a rating system. for every make and model, and those are based on “Vehicle Series Ratings” (VSRs) received from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). It’s your car’s rating that say how much it’s going to cost to insure. If your car is more likely to get stolen or more costly to repair then you will pay more for car insurance.

Especially when shopping for a car, contact your insurance company before you actually buy it: ask them how much it will cost for insurance for the different cars that you’re thinking of buying.

“Whether powered by 4, six or eight cylinders, virtually each and every current Chevrolet automobile and truck from the compact Aveo and Cruze to the full-size Suburban SUV features variable valve timing (VVT) on its engine to optimize its breathing,” stated Sam Winegarden, General Motors executive director of International Engine Engineering.

The camshafts are driven by chains from the crankshaft to help keep the valve opening in sync with the motion of the pistons within the cylinders.

Through continuous adjustments with the camshaft phasing, engineers can accomplish smoother idle control with out sacrificing the capability to breathe at higher engine speeds. This capability contributes to the three.6-liter V6 within the Chevrolet Camaro generating 312 horsepower whilst obtaining an EPA-estimated 30 mpg on the highway.

Chevrolet’s VVT system utilizes a hydraulic mechanism to twist the camshaft relative to the crankshaft position so that the valves can be opened and closed earlier or later. On dual overhead cam engines like the Ecotec inline-four and the 3.0 and 3.6-liter V6, the intake and exhaust cams could be adjusted independently, permitting the valve overlap – the time that intake and exhaust valves are each open – to be varied also.

The 60 degrees of camshaft adjustment available on the turbocharged 1.4-liter Ecotec that powers the Cruze enabled engineers to eliminate the conventional exhaust gas recirculation program to simplify the general engine packaging – the way the engine fits in the automobile – and nonetheless decrease emissions.

“Bookending the Chevy lineup, the VVT-equipped Cruze Eco achieves an EPA estimated 42-mpg highway while the full-size Silverado XFE pickup is estimated at 22 mpg highway, both of which are best-in-class figures for their respective segments” stated Winegarden. “In fact, the 2011 Cruze Eco is the most fuel effective gasoline-fueled vehicle in America.”

Founded in Detroit in 1911, Chevrolet celebrates its centennial as a global automotive brand with annual sales of about 4.25 million vehicles in much more than 120 countries. Chevrolet provides consumers with fuel-efficient, safe and dependable vehicles that deliver high quality, expressive style, spirited performance and value. The Chevrolet portfolio consists of iconic performance cars like Corvette and Camaro; dependable, long-lasting pickups and SUVs like Silverado and Suburban; and award-winning passenger cars and crossovers like Spark, Cruze, Malibu, Equinox and Traverse. Chevrolet also provides “gas-friendly to gas-free” options including Cruze Eco and Volt. Cruze Eco provides 42 mpg highway while Volt provides 35 miles of electric, gasoline-free driving and an additional 344 miles of extended range. Most new Chevrolet models offer OnStar safety, security and comfort technologies including OnStar Hands-Free Calling, Automatic Crash Response and Stolen Automobile Slowdown.

People seem to base their choice of a specific provider on the service aspect. Sure, the agents for the companies are going to be kind to you, but you really must look into their track record and their policies and disclaimers and such. Also , everyone wants to go with what everyone else is doing. Simply because the majority chooses one thing over another does not necessarily make it the right choice. Think about these things when choosing a car insurance company .

Don’t go with whoever you see the most advertisements for. This isn’t exactly a quality indicator . That said, however, in terms of economics, the company that spends the most money on their advertising likely plans on sticking around for a long time so it would be a good bet to go with them as it is an indicator of a quality car insurance provider with a long term goal .

Another important idea :  Don’t simply base your choice strictly on the quoted price of an insurance policy. You might be quick to go with whichever company offers the cheapest price, but in the long run it may actually not be the cheapest. Their underlying policies may implement hidden fees and costs that will make them more expensive in the end . This is why it is very important to do some investigative work and compare car insurance quotes.

Check companies’ discounts, special plans, and deals for cheap motor car insurance. Some motor car insurance providers may offer unique incentives that you qualify for that the competitors may not offer . Consider this when choosing, as these deals will make your policy considerably cheaper.

Lastly, don’t be so quick to toss out the smaller independent firms . Smaller, privatized banks usually offer lower interest rates. Similarly, smaller insurance providers are sometimes a better choice than the traditional large firms , depending on your specific needs . Just sit down with an agent and tell them all your details to get an exact quote.

Don’t stress yourself out, folks . Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill. Just take your time, do your homework, and stay calm , and you’ll have yourself a great provider in no time. Get more information at Ireland Car Insurance .
