Car being an engineered product that is also a style statement, the style has always had an accent of technological excellence. That is to say you cannot simply decorate your car with beautiful things, you need to make the style be in sync with the fact that the car is a highly engineered product.The greatest automobile icons are testimony to this fact. These cars show a lot of flair and panache purely from an artistic point of view but at the...more
The intention of car designers and manufacturers is to ensure that their products sell more and more. They have to anticipate what the buyers would like and why would they prefer a particular product over the others. To achieve it they pay minute attention to each and every part, fixture, or accessory of the car. Even minor and small accessories do not escape their attention leave alone the major ones. Tail lights are therefore of course one such...more
Since the time car was invented as a means of personal transport a lot of attention has been paid to the performance. However since early days attention has also been paid to the style. Over the years some parts of the car have come to be associated largely with the car's performance and other components have come to be associated with the car's style. It is another matter that often a component that is largely associate with car performance must now look good as well. Take for example the car engine. It is not a visible product and is mostly associated with car performance, however with the rapid advances in the car engine it has become so refined that it looks good as well. And you will have seen a new car owner proudly lift the hood and show off the high tech high quality engine to his friends.Tail lights also need to perform but they were simple engineering products with just a couple of bulbs and most attention paid to tail lights was for the style. Though at the time even for style the options were limited. Over the years the functionality of tail lights has improved a lot. And now they perform a more complex function and that too in a better way. But the style aspect has...more

Which one should I use?Everyone seems to have their own opinion, but I've been wondering which of the two is better based solely on facts about each. I've spent this morning compiling all of...more
I'm sure that I won't be surprising anyone when I say that we are currently living through one of the worst financial down turns in the history of capitalism.Nor will anyone be surprised to hear that this crisis was largely brought about by our government's mismanagement of financial regulation.We've all seen the CEOs of preposterously large banks serving up PR spun platitudes to the Select Committee, usually stating words to the effect of: "Yeah, sorry about all the mess but it really was more your fault than mine.... Can I have my £750,000 p/a pension now?"We know that, after losing all our money, we now have to pay out to keep these banks and insurance companies afloat when simultaneously they are no longer paying the billions in taxes each year to the treasury that they once were and that on top of this, Education, Health Care, Defence, Infrastructure, Civil Servants and their pensions and the £40million a day that it costs us to stay in Europe all still have to be paid for on a hand to mouth basis.We know all this and we know all about the Stealth Taxes that will now be routinely imposed on us by a Government ever more desperate to balance the books.So, armed with all this...more
