FORD F 150

FORD F 150

Ford F150 is part of the F-Series, a descriptor used to cover the entire succession of Ford pickups that have been in production for 60 years. Since that genesis, millions of Ford F 150 trucks have been sold. In fact, the F-Series has been the most popular vehicle sold in the United States for nearly every year of the past three decades.

Originally conceived as a rugged, no-frills workhorse, the Ford F 150 has since morphed into a well-appointed ride. Versatility is the goal: This pickup truck can handle the needs of small businesses with the same aplomb it brings to a night on the town. And it isn't just ranchers and contractors who cherish it: Anyone who needs to tow a boat, haul stuff or transport recreational cargo can take the Ford F 150 to heart.

There's a lot of competition in the full-size pickup truck market segment these days. To keep its truck fresh, Ford F 150recently introduced a fully redesigned Ford F 150, which boasts more power and new features. Used F-150s are also a great choice, as the truck's wide array of configurations and numbers sold means you're almost guaranteed of finding the right one for your needs.

BMW M3 2011 

The highest praise fo BMW M3 I can give a sports car is to say it performs well both on a track and while driving slowly around town. Why? Because anybody can make a no-compromises car that's fast on the track but beats you to death on the streets. Likewise, anybody can make a comfy boulevard cruiser that wallows around the track. What's tricky is hitting that balance.
One of the few truly awesome cars I've driven, the BMW M3 nails both the sport and the comfort ends of the spectrum. You can tell the BMW M3 if you want it to be sedate or scary-fast — and it listens.
Driving Impressions
Joe Wiesenfelder tested a 2010 BMW M3 with a manual transmission, and you can read his impressions here. My 2011 test car came with BMW M3double-clutch transmission, and I have to say that even though I generally prefer manuals, I'd probably take this transmission if I were buying an M3..
