Old School Icon Alliance Project

The best part about an old 3/4 helmet is the look, but the safety aspect leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the best part about a full face helmet is the safety, but they often look our of place on a vintage bike. Do you see the opportunity here? Well so does Icon. Teaming up with Silodrome.com, Icon Motorsports will be creating a full face helmet that has the vintage look you want with the safety your face needs.

Bullz-Eye has a variety of Icon products, including an Alliance helmet, that we will be reviewing in the next week. So stay tuned for both that article, and this new Icon project at Silodrome.com.

With riding season just around the corner, Icon is making sure you can ride in style while making sure you are fully protected.

Aventador J Revealed

The normal Lamborghini Aventador has 690hp, all wheel drive, and is the automotive equivalent to a defibrillator. However, what if you’re the type of millionaire that wants something more unique and off kilter? You’re the type of millionaire that hunts exotic, wild beasts, pays to go into space, and may be clinically insane. Basically, you’re a modern day version of Teddy Roosevelt with a 6 pack. If this sounds like you, Lamborghini has just the car for you: The Aventador J.

Already sold for a cool $2.1 million euros, the J takes a “normal” Aventador and chops off the roof and the windshield, removes the air conditioning and navigation system to lose weight, and adds “Carbonskin” material to the seat. The result, Lamborghini says, is “an utterly indescribable experience of power and dynamics,” but that’s because you can’t say “batsh$t insane” in a press release. So if you want to know how it feels to be ejected from an F-22 at the speed of sound, buy an Aventador J.

The only one they are going to make is already sold, but something tells me it is in the hands of someone who is crazy enough to enjoy it.

2012 Mazda 3i 5 door Grand Touring Review on Bullz-Eye

Bullz-Eye.com reviewed the 2012 Mazda3 i 5-Door Grand Touring inside and out! See what they had to say below.

There is no doubt that Mazda is pretty darn good at designing and building small and sporty cars. We’re here to let you know that after spending a week behind the wheel of a Sky Blue MC 2012 Mazda3 i 5-Door Grand Touring that we can also confirm Mazda’s expertise in doing a great job with sporty cars.

Exterior
The 2012 model was tweaked to be more aerodynamic and just a bit toned down in appearance, especially the front end of the car. Our test model was loaded with 16 inch alloy wheels, body color heated power mirrors, black grille insert and trim, halogen headlights, single-exhaust outlet bright tip, body color door handles, roof-mounted aero antenna, moonroof with one touch opener, bi-xenon headlights with auto leveling, pivoting adaptive front lighting system (AFS) and rear liftgate with wiper. Basically, the 2012 Mazda3 i 5-Door Grand Touring continues the “Nagare”-inspired theme – a hand-sculpted approach to exterior design, which emulates the powerful yet elegant flowing beauty of nature – consistent with all Mazda vehicles.

Tips for Identifying Used Car Scams on Craigslist

Shopping online is a monster that is best tackled by a paranoid shopper. Though even if you aren’t, there are a few precautions you must take. Whether your shopping for an insurance quote or dog food you have to do your research. The popular site Craigslist is a great place for legitimate sellers looking for buyers and vice versa, but from time to time you have to be careful to avoid the lurkers. Scam artists plague the car market, and Craigslist is no exception. But it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t take a few precautions to protect yourself when shopping around.

Contact

Reports from Hartford Courant count at least 15,000 car buyers that have been scammed out of nearly $45 million, though that number changes every day. No matter what you’re buying, be wary. For one, if you can’t contact the seller, don’t bother continuing your inquiry into the vehicle. Even if you do get in touch with them, be wary of emails sent using free services, and don’t trust phone numbers since they can be routed through various programs.

This means that even if you did report the crime, they will be practically untraceable.

Unbelievable Offers

If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be so quick to throw money at them if they say they’re on a deadline, protected by eBay or some other program. It’s your money, and a real dealer is interested in making the deal, not forcing your hand. Also, eBay only offers protection to buyers that buy the car through their site, not through PayPal.

See It In Person

Can’t test drive it first? It’s a scam. Be firm with your values, and don’t let someone tell you the vehicle is unavailable to drive and that you have to buy it before you even see the car. Tell them that if you can’t test drive the car you won’t pay. Don’t fall for the emotional stories about dead parents or relatives that drove the vehicle and now they want it off their property. These compelling stories are often scams.

Conclusion

Don’t fall victim to online scams on Craigslist like so many have. Always be cautious and don’t believe what you read even if you think it’s a trusted source. Keep an eye out for trusted email addresses when looking for contacts, and never do business with someone who is forceful with you. Remember, it is your money.
