Car Coloring Affects Renting Cars From Agents
Some people have become accustomed to a certain style and class of automobile and put a lot of stock into the color of the automobile that they are renting. Some rental car locations focus their rentals on the younger crowds who like bold color options in the cars they rent and this is very prevalent in college towns. The color of a rental car has no effect on the way the car will operate on the roadway but some rental customers are very turned off when they see the color selections.
Some sports car rentals are colored in shades of bright yellow or fire engine red. These colors would be quite suitable for anyone that had the desire to rent such a highlytuned performance engine for their travels but the car would most likely turn off an older gent who is renting a sports car for the first time and has a definite mind to reject the rental agreement on the grounds that they do not want to stand out in a crowd.
Some sports cars are rarely rented for this reason because the legal ramifications that can occur are more than some renters are willing to take. These car renters feel that law enforcement officers will issue traffic ticket to sports car drivers who are brazen enough to accept such a vehicle. These law enforcement officials will pay particular attention to any driver who blazes down the highways in rental cars with these color choices assigned to them by the factory.
Some car renters feel very special when they rent luxury automobiles that are colored silver or nickel. These colors make them feel that they are living a good life and the quality of the vehicle makes them feel like a member of royalty. The coloring denotes a level of prestige that they do not have in the old car at home whose paint job needs to be refinished in several areas including the chrome.
Most car renters are very reassured by rental cars that sport colors of blue or silver. These rental car colors seem to make the rental car disappear into the scenery of blue skies and some feel that they are less likely to be noticed if they go speeding by a high traffic area at the speed of light. The demure car model they rented is often faster than some people think but since it is colored in baby blue some people prefer to look the other way because they doubt that car could go so fast.

Buick Enclave Crossover: What Buick Did While Nobody Was Looking!
With the release of the allnew Buick Enclave Crossover Vehicle Buick has come a long way from their reputation as an “old person’s car.” The Enclave is an ultrasexy modern sleek technologically advanced elegant crossover vehicle comparable to Lexus in quality fit and finish and priced more like a Chevy! While the buzz in the auto industry for the last 15 years or so has mostly focused on Japanese cars Buick has been quietly improving their quality and design. Has anyone paid attention to Buick’s JD power awards lately? Has anyone realized that Buick has moved into 1st place in quality to tie Lexus and has surpassed Toyota Honda Mercedes BMW Acura and Infiniti?
The Enclave is at the forefront of the modern trend away from SUVs and into crossover vehicles. The Enclave can be configured as a seven or eight passenger vehicle. The Enclave comes with a standard fuel efficient V6 engine as a front wheel drive model. All Wheel Drive is an available option. The Enclave comes in several trim levels with advanced options such as heated and cooled seats GPS Navigation XM radio and rear camera parking assist.
The Buick Enclave Crossover Vehicle really is more of a “coming home” for Buick. Long before the Japanese cars came to America when they developed a reputation for quality and somehow Buick came to be thought of as a rather boring older person’s car Buick was the car to aspire to! There were not as many cars in those days and each had a special place. The Buick was the car for the Doctor or Lawyer or Banker. It was the car for the successful professionals…not the richest person in town He drove the Cadillac but it was a symbol of status and success and the Buick WAS within reach of middle class Americans. The Buick was the affordable car of high quality and modern style it WAS the car people really wanted. Now it’s just like old times! Welcome Home Buick!

Bigfoot Monster Truck
BIGFOOT all began in the mid 1970′s. Bob Chandler the creator of BIGFOOT with his wife was a construction contractor working in St. Louis USA. Bob used his Ford 250 4X4 Pickup Truck for both work and also off road family fun at the weekends. After breaking the toughest of trucks it soon became apparent that there was nowhere close by for him to get 4X4 parts and spares. Seeing the gap in the market Bob and his wife Marilyn started up Midwest Four Wheel Drive. The Chandler’s used their truck as a work vehicle as well as using it for promotional purposes. They tried out new parts on the truck and kept on making it bigger and better. It escalated so much that the truck actually became an attraction in its own right. In 1979 at the Denver car show the Chandler’s used their truck in its first paid event. Truck pulls in arenas and stadiums were soon to follow.
Two years later in 1981 Bob changed the whole concept of Monster Trucks. Just for fun he thought he would try and drive over a couple of scrap cars. He soon duplicated his stunt in a stadium show a couple of months later. That was the birth of car crushing Monster Trucks. In 1983 BIGFOOT named after he was told the reason he kept on breaking parts was because of his “big foot” began its sponsorship deal with Ford Motor Company which still stands today. Many more BIGFOOT monster trucks have been built since then BIGFOOT 17 has been built for use in the UK and Europe.
Inspired by the success of BIGFOOT an explosion of imitations came forth in the mid 1980′s. In America car crushing became a staple of major truck pulling and mud racing events. After many years of just car crushing the audience in 1987 were given a more exciting show with monster truck racing. It is a full blown sport in America today with multiple points series taking place across the country and millions watch it weekly on television.
The creator of BIGFOOT soon emerged at the forefront of monster truck technology. With the use of computer aided design packages he created a new breed of monster trucks designed with racing in mind. Radical new tubular chassis along with patented cantileverbased suspensions represent the state of the art race trucks design. BIGFOOT 8 was the first BIGFOOT to be born out of the new impressive mold. In 1992 BIGFOOT 8 became world champion 1992 saw Bob and his team place 1 and 2 in the series. 1994 saw the team place 1 2 and 3 winning 11 out of 13 races. 1995 saw teams limited to two trucks the BIGFOOT team took first and third and won 10 out of 15 races.
The History of BIGFOOT 17 Europe’s BIGFOOT.
Nigel Morris the owner of L.A. Supertrux Ltd started building his first real Monster Truck in the autumn of 2000. This project which later was given the name Wild Child was inspired by long time friend Tim Barks who’s own project was well under way at this time. As Wild Child neared completion Nigel had the chance to go to America as a crew member for another friend Joe Ellis who was going to be running his race tuned Lotus Carlton in the famous Silver State Challenge road race near Las Vegas. Nigel saw this as his chance to visit the Holy Grail of Monster Trucks BIGFOOT. Nigel invited Tim to help with crew duties on Joe’s car so that they could both extend their stay in the USA to include a visit to Dan Patrick at his Samson workshop and then on to BIGFOOT.
Whilst visiting BIGFOOT Bob Chandler extended an invitation for the lads to return in December for the MTRA annual conference. 2000 saw Nigel Tim make the trip to be the first Europeans EVER to attend the MTRA conference and also the Tech School. Nigel was very proud to pass the technicians exam and become one of a very small band of people who are qualified to carry out technical and safety checks on Monster Trucks. The membership of the MTRA voted unanimously to set up a European division and Nigel was elected president.
During 2001 Nigel worked to fine tune Wild Child and to get used to driving a Monster Truck at speed. Wild Child also appeared in music videos and television adverts as well as the Granada TV series Men Motors.
During his December MTRA visit Nigel had discussions with Bob Chandler about the prospect of bringing BIGFOOT back to the UK and maybe touring Europe. It was during these discussions that the idea was formed to have a BIGFOOT permanently available to the European public. Further discussions led to the plan being finalised for Nigel and L.A. Supertrux Ltd building and operating BIGFOOT 17 “The UK BIGFOOT”.
That process was completed in 2003 and BIGFOOT 17 has been wowing the UK fans ever since. With regular appearances throughout the summer competing in the EMTRC European Monster Truck Racing Championship BIGFOOT 17 and Nigel Morris were proud to take the title of 2003 ProMT European Champion.
In the 2004 EMTRC series Nigel and BIGFOOT 17 were only prevented from taking the title by the cancellation of the final event. Good friend and fierce racing rival Ian Batey had blown the engine of his championship leading Lil Devil monster truck in a heat race with BIGFOOT earlier in the day. Nigel only needed to finish the event but sadly for Nigel anyway the beach race was scupperd by the incoming tide! With the event cancelled Nigel and BIGFOOT 17 remained just 35 points away from a second title.
The 2005 EMTRC series was a torrid one for the BIGFOOT team. With a brand new 572 cu in Big Block Ford the team had high hopes for the championship. If it wasn’t for a couple of small items who knows what might have happened. Those small items were gearboxes we blew up 6 of them and front wheels and we knocked 3 of these off as well. Oh and then there was this Rob Williams bloke who ran away with the championship in his rookie year. For the whole BIGFOOT team joint third in the EMTRC table was just not good enough.
2006 saw a return to winning ways. The BIGFOOT team had made some changes in the winter months adding a new drag race inspired gearbox as well as custom steel steering swivels. These changes seem to have fixed the reliability issues of the 2005 season and the EMTRC title was regained in domineering fashion. Six event wins and two second places from ten events!!
2007 whitnessed the continuation of our dominance in the EMTRC racing series with more event and race wins than any other team bringing to the BIGFOOT 17 racing team the EMTRC title once again. This title makes us the first team ever to retain our title year on year and the first team ever to win 3 EMTRC titles. I think we’re really back this time!!
