I am awfully sorry BMW, but all your efforts to try and convince yourselves that those who bought your 1-series are avid driving enthusiasts have failed. BMW had built the 1-series with the intention of spreading their gospel of the 'ultimate driving machine' and part of that picture they painted was the fact that rear wheel drive would be part of the recipe to build such a machine. However, it has now been revealed in a statement made by BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer during a telephone interview session with journalists that 80% of the people who bought the 1-series thought that it was a front wheel drive. For those of you reading this, if you are part of the 80% that have been mentioned above, I have the civic duty to inform you that the BMW 1-series is a Rear Wheel Drive.

I mean honestly, I would expect the people who are buying the 1-series to read the brochure that informs them of the specifications of the car. Or perhaps to make the effort to go through the owner's manual after they have purchased the car. I guess, in a way, this is an unfortunate news. I think this is the reason BMW do not go around with the 'ultimate driving machine' statement anymore. If you look at their website, it now states 'Sheer Driving Pleasure' or 'Joy is Driving'. Nowhere does it state that BMW makes the ultimate driving machines anymore. I suppose this is justly so as no one actually buys BMWs to drive anymore. These people actually don't even care about 'sheer driving pleasure' or 'joy is driving'. They buy BMWs for the badge and ironically, even BMW knows about this.

They know this as they're producing gargantuan SUV-coupes like the X6M or the X5M. These are two vehicles for people who just want the 'M' badge but don't actually like driving really fast. I say this because no matter how fast or powerful an SUV is, the car with the same engine and drive train, would be able to out handle any performance SUVs regardless of the situation. Then they sell the entry level 1-series to people who are just looking for a BMW and do not actually ask which wheels drive the car in the first place. Apparently, it looks like the actual fast driving enthusiasts aren't driving BMWs anymore.

And that folks is why BMW has recently announced during that same telephone interview that they intend to build front wheel drive BMWs by 2014. It is not that they have decided to join the front wheel drive bandwagon. It's just that to 1-series owners, or future BMW entry level owners, what wheels drive the car is immaterial. They just want in on the brand. Maybe BMW should change their taglines to 'FWD? RWD? AWD? Who cares? It's a BMW' or 'Joy of owning the Ultimate Badge'.

This is, beyond a doubt, another sad day for true blue driving enthusiasts.

Can a Toyota Full Body Kit Benefit your Car?

For many customizing their cars and trucks, to suit their personalities, is a hobby; for others, it is a lifestyle statement. The methods include increasing the horsepower, drastically. Ground effects and slick parts are used to improve visual appeal.

There are several body kits available. You have to select the right one with care, to avoid regret and additional expenditure on its further replacement. Painting the kit costs money, too.

Front and rear bumpers (fenders), side skirts, and spoilers are the typical components of a body kit. These are used to modify the exterior of your car.

The spoilers are particularly important, if you are looking for a body kit that will impart greater speed to your vehicle, by improving its aerodynamics. Spoilers are attached to the underside of your car. A front spoiler positioned under your front bumper helps reduce aerodynamic drag, and consequently, improves speed.

A rear spoiler pushes down the air to create a down force, which, in turn, improves traction, at high speeds. This makes your vehicle more stable, when you accelerate. In this manner spoilers contribute to making your car more speedy.

Thus, a body kit helps you to alter the traditional factory appearance of your car. Body kits are designed to complement each other; many opt to mix and match parts from different body kits, to make their vehicles look unique.

Either fiberglass, or polyurethane, is usually used to make body kits. Polyurethane body kits are tougher and damage-resistant. These are sturdy and easy to install and are ideal for those live in areas with bad roads. They are the most popular among enthusiasts.

Regardless of the style and car fiberglass body kits fit best. Fiberglass body kits are less expensive; also, when they get damaged, they can be fixed, provided the damage is minor. Carbon fiber is also used in body kits. They are lightweight material and very tough. (Bullet proof items use carbon fiber.) On the flip side, they cost a lot.

The ride height is best arrived at by considering the amount of ground clearance you need, according to the area you live in.

Except in the case of carbon fiber kits, body kits and panels are usually unfinished items. These need prepping, sanding, priming and painting. Some drilling, notching, or other minor modification may also be needed by most kits. Make sure you have sufficient insurance cover, to provide for the possibility of an accident. Cars fitted with body kits attract specialist insurers. Choose such a cover, if you think you need it.

Some Toyota full body kits include AIT, AIT Racing, Extreme Dimensions, GTP, ViS, Showoff. Prices range from $100 - $500.

To summarize, if you get a proper installation done, you can make your car look better than it did when it rolled out of the factory. In fact, it will reflect your identity, as you can custom design your car according to your personal taste. Apart from the visual appeal, you can also improve the aerodynamics of your car, so as to convert it into a racing car. So, if you're looking to make a style statement, go for your Toyota Full Body Kit.

How much would it cost to get my car spray painted?

I have a YELLOW toyota- 8 seater. I hate the colour, how much would you estimate it would cost to get it spray painted black or silver?

Including taxes, it will run you between $750 to $1000. BTW, go with silver color. Dirt is less noticeable on this color, so you won't have to wash it so often.
