Roadloans Special: Volkswagen Bus Auctioned at Ridiculous Price

Posted by ross | E-Mail

Roadloans scours the internet to find news pertaining to car loans and auto loans for people with poor credit. We are also interested in all things cars, especially when it is interesting or ridiculous. In what category would you place the following? A man paid $217,800 for a restored 1963 VW Bus. It certainly is interesting, but I will go with ridiculous. Needless to say the car loan situation for a vehicle like this has to be pretty unique.  You might have a hard time finding a 1963 anything in one of Roadloans thousands of preferred dealer lots, but who said you can't dream? Of course we are talking about a VW Microbus, so if the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo is dreaming to you, then be my guest and dream away.  But don't dream for long. There is a much more sensible scenario with Roadloans. Apply online for a car loan today and get preapproved for a car loan in minutes! Check out the article from Jalopnik right here

Buick Getting Younger?

Posted by ross | E-Mail

The stereotypes are true.  If you are old, you are in the market for a Buick.  Perhaps that is changing.  It appears that Buick, mainly through the Lacrosse, is making its way into a younger market, seeing its average buyer age drop from 72 to 65.  Check out the article here

The Unofficial DMV Guide

Posted by ross | E-Mail
If you have ever crossed swords with the DMV in your state, you know how utterly and hopelessly confusing it can be.  Your worries are over my friend.  Welcome to dmv.org, the "unofficial" DMV guide, "helping you navigate the DMV since 1999."  There is information for every kind of citation under the sun in every state in these United States.  Give it a shot!  The site is quick to note that it is a privately owned website, not operated by any state or federal agency, so keep that in mind.

Winter Weather Driving Tips

Posted by ross | E-Mail
I live in Texas, so every time the temperature nears 40 degrees and below and there is a hint of precipitation in the air, the news channels are ablaze with Winter Storm 2010 features, as if the sky were falling.  Reporters are on site at major intersections to talk about, not traffic accidents, but the possibility of traffic accidents due to bad weather.  As ridiculous as this is, there is some warrant for it, for there is nobody more ignorant than a Texan driving in winter weather.  Take a leisurely drive down any major road or highway during and after a snow storm and you will see the freeway littered with abandoned vehicles who got carried away like Lenny from Of Mice and Men wanting to tend the rabbits but accidentally breaking their necks. Texas drivers, due to the crazy white stuff on the ground seem to forget that reality still exists, and drive as if the roads were normal.  Now I know it might seem strange to you on many levels for me to post Winter Weather Driving Tips from a Dallas Lawyer, but bear with me, the article is worth reading.

Mountain Vehicles

Posted by ross | E-Mail

I'm taking the family on a 2 day excursion into the great Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.  In preparation, we have packed snacks, gps, a portable dvd player, and an ipod full of music.  But even with all of that, I find myself wishing I had a vehicle from this website.

Strange Cars

Posted by ross | E-Mail

You probably won't find these strange cars at your local KIA dealer, but they are worth a look.  My son's favorite is the sharkmobile...of course it is!  Here's to free time, extra cash, and insatiable passion!

Dakar Rally

Posted by ross | E-Mail
I think I'm in love.  For those of you who dig off road vehicles, not just as eye candy, but as they were designed to be (actually go off road), I hereby introduce to you the Dakar Rally.  I was milling about on these here interwebs and came across the Dakar when looking on NASCAR's site, learning that Robby Gordon was racing in this year's event.  My interest sparked, I was opened up to a whole new world of coolness.  I have trouble enjoying NASCAR (thought that is changing) because I stereotypically don't like to watch cars go round in circles.  But this is different, as the race is run in multiple stages across thousands of miles of very rough terrain.  In addition, it appears that there are 4 types of vehicles, ranging from motorcycles, quads (4 wheelers), cars, and trucks.  It is post apocalyptic sci fi in the making!  I urge you to become a fan of this, as I am.  Check out the official site here.
