With millions of domains already registered on the Internet, finding the best name for a new site is getting painful with each passing day, but as they say, there’s no shortage of ideas if you have a different perspective. You do not need to get a better domain than any other site; all you need is a different name. A domain name is really critical while designing a website, as it not only represents your site before public, but also provides for a better optimization in search engines....

Why The ID.Buzz Is So Important For VW Thanks to the Dieselgate emissions-cheating fiasco about seven years ago, Volkswagen was forced to abandon diesel tech and dive into electric vehicles, a move that, in hindsight, would have made sense even if the whole emissions-cheating-debacle never happened. But just moving to EVs wasn’t enough: VW needed to reclaim a lot of goodwill, to dig back into their history and find what endeared them to the world in the first place....

It makes no sense to me how few engineers there are in the automotive media space, but it’s something I’m actively working to change. Cars are inherently technical, so shouldn’t the people who teach you about them also be technically adept? I’m going to sound a bit mean here, but I’m just having some fun: Just look at this sentence I edited from Jason Torchinsky. He’s easily one of the best car journalists on this planet, and generally a fairly technically-smart man....

To coincide with David’s big rescue mission down under and encourage our brave colleague, Torch suggested that ‘we’ should do something…which really means throw another one on the pile for someone like myself. Here’s one option- let’s take a look at some bizarre examples of Valiants Around The World that you might be shocked to know exist. Question- were you ever given the astonishing news that a quiet, middle aged, slightly paunchy and balding cousin of yours is really working in the rackets or employed by the CIA for covert ops?...

What is the future of SEO? Should you invest your time and money in search engine optimization in 2023 and beyond? If you’re looking for the RIGHT answers to any of these questions, this article is just for you. Did you know that 90.63% of pages get zero traffic from Google, and 5.29% of them get ten or fewer visits per month? Does it mean SEO is dead? No. But Google is constantly rolling out new algorithms to provide the BEST information to the users....

Just look at the numbers indicating the ever growing popularity of the game and you will know what I am talking about. Football competitions draw maximum audience and media attention, and football players are easily some of the biggest sports celebrities. Not to forget that football world cup is one of the biggest sports events in the history of mankind, so there’s no reason why a football blog can’t bring in more goods than some of those extremely boring and overdone topics like gadgets, Internet Marketing and so on Without much ado, let’s dive into the details....

In the below video you can listen to Beau and Dave entreat David and Jason with stories of the craziest hot rods they’ve built and restored while sitting in front of the craziest collection of hot rods I’ve ever personally seen. Seriously, I was sitting in that room, just a few feet away from the Batmobile and the Panthermobile trying not to geek out too much. Dave and Beau were both inducted into the National Rod and Custom Car Hall of Fame and have a million stories to tell, but if I’m going to pick out one to talk about here it has to be The Bathtub....

Like with my posts about the humongous EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in, I’m going to highlight specific trains in future posts. This one is largely about what you’ll experience out there. The story of the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) is similar to that of any person who ends up with a massive collection. It was started in 1953 by ten men who all threw in $100 each to purchase Indiana Railroad car number 65....

From washing test tubes and grading papers to helping a professor move his hot tub (seriously…it happened), the life of a graduate student is really about two or three notches up from being in a Turkish prison. The Bishop should know…I never thought that getting my Masters in Automotive Exterior Lighting would be so difficult, but here we are. The level of pain a student experiences is usually proportional to how big of a douchbag the instructor you play obedient acolyte to is, and if your advisor is the great Dr....

We’ve been using a plethora of SEO tools over the past 10 years. Some of them are extremely useful and most of them are useless. When it comes to selecting any SEO software or toolkit, “data” matters a lot (be it backlinks, content or keywords). That’s why it’s essential to invest your time and money into only those tools that are already loved by thousands of others. So in this post, we’ve handpicked a list of 11 of the best SEO software tools for agencies....

For those unfamiliar with Mopar history, the Super Bee first entered the marketplace for 1968 as a street brawler based on the Dodge Coronet. By dropping a 383 Magnum, 426 Hemi, or later a 440 Six-Pack into a family car, the Super Bee was an easy way to get tons of displacement in a relatively sensible package. Funnily enough, it was also Dodge’s entry-level muscle car, promising all-you-can-smoke burnouts in a more affordable package than a Charger....

“The Wrangler stays the Wrangler — the icon of the brand…. the best of the best of the best is the Wrangler. Most capable” said Jeep brand CEO Christian Meunier at a press conference yesterday. This came after I asked whether the new Recon would be replacing the Wrangler, and after Stellantis’ head designer Ralph Gilles talked about how that very question meant his team had done its job right....

Whether you know it or not, half of all online searches will be made through voice search and the number is only growing every year. If you’re not optimizing your website for voice searches yet, this is the time to fix it. Why? Because… voice search is the FUTURE. Did you know that voice-enabled shopping is growing rapidly and the number of digital voice assistants like Alexa are expected to rise to 8....

-Less than 1% of all cars produced in North America are yellow -Old cars rule -O’Doyle rules -This sounds like it will be cheap to buy -I can save a car from the scrapper -I can save a yellow car from the scrapper -She hasn’t told me what type of car this even is -I’m already sold This was the Spring of 2020 and the entire world was just about to close down for a hot minute, and though I didn’t know this at the time, I did know one thing: I love saving old cars from demise (I’m coming up on car #111, saved from certain death), love a challenge, love yellow and would’ve said yes even if I could look into the future....

New South Wales’ strict inspection requirements mean one can’t just sand a set of ignition points with a matchbox, run a garden hose from a jerry can to the carburetor, pop in a new battery and start driving on public roads legally like you can in much of the U.S. Vehicles have to be devoid of any potentially-structural issues like rust (that includes in floorboards, beds, and rocker panels), and all cars have to pass lighting, braking, and steering/handling-related inspection....

But we’re not here to talk about any of that; we’re here to talk about crappy old cars. Let’s see what you thought about yesterday’s rustbuckets: The Safari is the less scary of the two to most people. I’m still not sure it’s any less rusty; I worry about what’s under those Pep Boys bottom door trims. It feels like another Odd Couple day, so let’s take a look at a pair of derelict hulks, one of which is half the length of the other....

That means you make money even while you sleep. Although there are a ton of ways to make money online, affiliate marketing always stays on top of the charts for the same reason. But here’s the thing: NOT all affiliate programs are the same. Some offer you recurring commissions while most others offer one-time commissions. If you’re looking to generate thousands of dollars every month from affiliate marketing, promoting recurring affiliate programs is the BEST option....

[Editor’s Note: This recurring series features a designer with real OEM experience and real insider stories to tell. They wish to remain anonymous, but the stories are true, with details and names changed to keep identities of people and companies secret.] We were there to present to our bosses a new proposal for a mid-luxury production sedan; our design was meant to go head to head with two or three others being prepared by the studio in Detroit....

Today, Airstream is known as one of a handful of brands that still builds a quality RV. The company’s trailers usually come famously wrapped in shiny aluminum and are designed to stand the test of time. It’s no wonder that they command a ton of money big or small. But Airstream’s campers weren’t always aluminum beauties. Company founder Wally Byam grew up living in a wooden wagon towed by a donkey....

And there you have it. Always bet on red velour. That little Datsun would be a fun cruiser, if only for all the “Wow, I haven’t seen one of those since…” comments. When I was a kid, the only things I ever asked to spend money on were model cars, and books. (Actually, not much has changed.) My universe revolved around the Scholastic Book Fair at school, and the release of the new MPC and AMT model kits for the year, usually coinciding with the autumn release of the actual cars....
