The showroom here at RK Motors Charlotte is full of the fastest Mopars on the market and we've built our reputation on bringing you the best cars money can buy. Our latest offering is this 472 HEMI powered 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Custom built from its Cross Ram intake to its Boyd Coddington rear wheels, this car is brutally appealing and dangerously fast. If you're looking for a bad to the bone classic that's fun to look at and even more fun to drive; your search is over.
Even though this car is not original, it's still important to decode the VIN so we know exactly what we're dealing with. This car was a true Road Runner as the VIN decodes:
R: Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite
M: Medium, Road Runner
21: 2 door coupe
H: 383 330hp or 335hp 1-4 BBL V8
9: 1969
G2: Assembled in St. Louis MO
234595: Build sequence
This flawless Road Runner benefitted from a professional frame up restoration in 2006 and according to the car's owner, it retains all original panels. When it comes to bodywork on a car like this everything has to be smooth, because there really isn't anything on the body to draw the eye away from even the smallest ripple or imperfection. The 'impact' of this car, or essentially what makes or breaks the car, is the shape as a whole instead of the details in the design. Step up close to this Plymouth and it becomes very clear that a lot of time was spent to ensure its super clean look made the right impression. Once that was accomplished, the car was prepped and bathed in Mopar R3 red all the way from the spotless engine bay to the trunk jam. The result is a perfect 'long and low' Road Runner profile with factory close gaps, exceptionally straight panels and power actuated doors that close with a confident thunk. In fact, the paint on this car is so fresh that I was surprised to walk up to it and not smell the signature 'new paint' smell that comes as a nice bonus on body shop fresh cars.
The clean and modern designs of the 60s were a refreshing breath of fresh air from overwrought 50s styling and no car showcases that mindset better than the 1969 Road Runner. New chrome trim is kept to a minimum to highlight the cars intentionally simplistic design and new Road Runner decals and script emblems on the doors add just enough detail to complete the look. Within that chrome trim you'll find new crystal clear glass including what I believe to be one of the best details of the car; the curved rear window. Up front, the car features a straight grille with new lighting and a new chrome bumper. Out back, new '69 Road Runner exclusive tail lights and a new chrome bumper combine with a new road runner decal, a new Road Runner badge and a discrete little Hemi badge for the not so discrete motor. A traditional flat black Road Runner A-12 style lift off hood featuring four chrome hood pins and a custom red "472 HEMI" decal on its scoop tops everything off.
Pull the four pins on the hood and reveal the incredible Ray Barton 472 HEMI Cross Ram engine and see why this car goes from very appealing to MUST HAVE. Sitting on top of the aluminum Cross Ram intake is two Holley 770 carburetors that feed air and fuel to HEMI Stage V aluminum heads for a very impressive 10.5:1 compression ratio. To keep everything nice and cool, a Be Cool aluminum radiator complete with an electric cooling fan is coupled to the engine via billet hose connectors while a deep sump oil pan supplies plenty of friction reducing oil. Form and function co-exist now better than ever as an MSD coil utilizes a billet distributor to send sparks through Red Moroso wires which happen to match the Torche Red engine bay. A trick billet master cylinder complements two chrome air cleaners, billet wire looms and braided hoses to add a finished look to the top of the motor. A chrome Powermaster performance alternator, a billet serpentine belt system and ceramic long tube headers round out the package while adding more visual appeal. This motor is serious business; it's all there, it's hooked up and it's ready to play all day long.
The bottom of the car is just as nice as the top of the car. Cosmetically; it's beautiful, with a stainless H pipe equipped true dual exhaust system continuing from the headers all the way past the new stainless gas tank. The under carriage is exceptionally clean with chromed and powdercoated suspension pieces adding color at all four corners of the car. A McLeod hydraulic clutch, housed within a scatter shield, mates to a Tremec 5-speed transmission to throw that massive Hemi power to the rear end. Now, at first glance, you might not notice the deep dish on the 15×12 Boyd Coddington Smoothie rear wheels because the car is so well done. But upon further examination, you'll discover a narrowed Moser Engineering Dana 60 rear end that runs 325/50/15 BF Goodrich G-Force drag radials neatly tucked under this Road Runners rear quarters. I don't know about you, but that's the kind of well-done customization that brings a smile to my face. Keeping those drag radials connected to the pavement is welded monoleaf springs, new rear shocks, welded sub frame connectors and CalTracs traction bars. Up front the motor rides on an aftermarket K member and a Bill Riley Motorsports AlterKtion front end kit that connects to pavement via 15×7 Boyd Coddington Smoothie wheels with 215/70/15 BF Goodrich radials. Flaming River Industries rack and pinion power steering, a Bill Riley Motorsports sway bar, tubular control arms and QA1 Motorsports coilover shocks combine to provide modern handling characteristics. An electric vacuum pump helps Wilwood front brakes with chrome calipers and drilled and slotted rotors combine with Stainless Steel brakes and slotted rotors in the rear to bring all that power and weight to a safe halt.
Hit the remote door popper and sit down inside the car where the classic good looks of an American muscle car meld seamlessly with modern upgrades and conveniences. The new bucket seats are covered in black ultraleather and feature real suede leather inserts. Custom door panels feature chrome trim and carry the same theme as my favorite part of the interior; the long custom wrapped console with its gorgeous custom wood insert. Housed in the console is controls for the power windows and a traditional pistol grip shifter which lines up perfectly beside a billet steering wheel connected to an Ididit tilt column. Billet pedals hang above modern carpet that has been installed over Dynamat insulation which keeps unwanted heat and noise out of the cockpit. The custom dash features AutoMeter Pro Comp gauges, controls for the air conditioning system and a Sony Xplod CD player. About the only thing that isn't custom inside this car is the factory style headliner which has retrofitted shoulder belts hanging from it. Hit the fob to pop the electric trunk latch, which also happens to have a manual release button hidden under the car, and reveal a completely finished trunk with panels clad in Ultraleather and a trunk pan covered in the same modern carpet as the interior.
The documentation for this car includes two huge binders full of information about the build. In those binders you'll find receipts, part numbers for replacement items, installation instructions, the official Ray Barton dyno sheet, an official appraisal of the car when the build was complete and an itemized cost sheet broken down by manufacturer for the complete build process. This is one of the most detailed builds I've ever seen; the owner even has a receipt for the custom hood decal and hardware for the hood pins.
This car has it all: looks to kill, power that never stops and a list of custom components that would take a builder years to duplicate and assemble. Where else can you find this combination of power and killer looks without having to do a much more expensive long term build yourself? We'd be happy to build you one just like it for $200K… Or you could grab this one up before someone else does. Call today!

View Shooting in Big Bear in a larger map
UPDATE: An official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a wallet with a California driver's license with the name Christopher Dorner has been found in the rubble of a cabin.
A charred body was also found inside that cabin after a shootout and fire Tuesday. Authorities believe the remains are those of former Los Angeles police officer Dorner, but the remains have not been formally identified. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation and says the charred body and personal items were found in the basement of the burned cabin. The area is in the San Bernardino Mountains.
Despite no official confirmation of Dorner's death, tensions in Southern California police agencies appeared to relax. Some of the police protection that was put in place after Dorner apparently promised to target individuals in the LAPD named in an online manifesto was lifted, said Lt. Andy Neiman of the LAPD.
But dozens of those police units will remain in place. "There are families that are traumatized," he said.
Various Southern California city attorneys will be examining the details of how or if the reward money offered in the case would be distributed.
Neiman said the reward money is for information that leads to an arrest or conviction of the suspect.
"This is sort of an unusual circumstance," Nieman said.
Meanwhile, Highways 18 and 330 into the San Bernardino Mountains are reopening. Highway 38 remains closed between Valley of the Falls and Lake Williams, according to Terri Kasinga of Caltrans.
EARLIER: A standoff between law enforcement officials and a former police officer suspected in three killings erupted in gunfire Tuesday afternoon, with one officer killed, another injured and a remote cabin the fugitive was believed to be holed up in burned to the ground.
San Bernardino Sheriff's officials late Tuesday confirmed that charred human remains were found in the debris of the burned out cabin. Authorities have stopped short of officially confirming that the remains belong to fugitive Christopher Jordan Dorner, however, saying identification will require "forensic means."
"We still believe he was inside the cabin when it caught fire," said Cindy Bachman, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
If authorities determine the man is indeed Dorner, Tuesday's shooting would mark the fourth killing he is believed to have carried out.
Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Andrew Smith just after 8 p.m. said authorities had not been able to enter the wreckage of the cabin. Smith flatly denied reports of a body in the cabin being identified as Dorner's.
The cabin was smoldering and too hot to enter, with live ammunition believed to be inside, Bachman said around 8:30 p.m.
"It's a huge crime scene," Bachman said. "I anticipate (the investigators) being here most of the night."
A man matching the description of Dorner, 33, a former LAPD officer and Navy reservist who became the target of an intense manhunt after the shooting deaths of an Irvine couple and a Riverside police officer, was seen Tuesday afternoon by authorities investigating reports of a stolen vehicle about 12:20 p.m.

Chaetodontidae, or butterflyfishes, are among the most widely recognized coral reef fishes. Their vivid coloration and striking patterns make them popular in the aquarium trade, although some species are difficult to maintain in aquaria (see Economic Importance). The family contains 10 genera with 114 species, the majority in the genus Chaetodon. They occur mainly in tropical waters, most densely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, but some occupy warm temperate waters (see Habitat). Members of this family vary considerably in terms of color, but all butterflyfishes share certain morphological traits such as a deep, laterally compressed body, ctenoid scales that extend onto the soft-rayed portions of the dorsal and anal fins, and jaws that may be slightly or extremely elongated (see Physical Description). Jaw shape and size correlates with the type of prey consumed; some butterflyfishes feed upon small invertebrates or algae, others solely on coral polyps (known as obligate corallivores), and still others upon zooplankton (see Food Habits). Butterflyfish are largely pair-forming, pelagic (in the water column) spawners (see Reproduction), and are unique among reef fishes in that the larvae pass through a stage termed tholychthys during which a bony sheath encases the head (see Development). As of 1994, five chaetodontid species were listed as vulnerable to extinction (see Conservation Status). (Bellwood and Wainwright, 2002; Helfman, Collete, and Facey, 1997; Johnson and Gill, 2002; Kuiter, 1993; Moyle and Cech, 2000; Nelson, 1994; The World Conservation Union, 2002; Thresher, 1984)

War is harder on soldiers who kill11/30/2009
Soldiers are no less human for wearing a uniform, and so perhaps it's not surprising that new research shows that soldiers who kill tend to have far more difficult lives than soldiers who don't.
That's the conclusion of a new report produced on Vietnam Veterans by UC San Francisco and the VA Medical center. Even compared to other combat veterans, soldiers who killed (or think they killed) are more likely to suffer long-term from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, violent behavior, and other psychological problems.
To Stanley Krippner, a psychology faculty member at Saybrook and co-author of the book Haunted by Combat, this isn't a surprise: treating traumatic situation in a "one-size fits all" kind of way will never account for the unique experiences each soldier takes back with them from battle. However you slice it, killing someone is not like being shot at - no two experiences are the same.
Japan and San Francisco - the existential connection11/30/2009
Yes, Europe played a role, but to Kingo Matsuda America is the "origin of psychotherapy" – especially person-centered therapy.
That's why Kingo, the Director of the Overseas Department for the Academy of Counselors Japan, was at Saybrook this month with 15 students. Together they went through training in humanistic and existential therapy provided by leading experts on the Saybrook faculty, including Kirk Schneider and Charles Cannady.
Since 2004 Saybrook has worked with the Academy of Counselors Japan to give its students, who will upon graduation be front line therapists and counselors in that country, a strong grounding in existential-humanistic approaches
Saybrook, Kingo says, has that expertise – although ironically person-centered approaches to therapy may be more popular in Japan than in the U.S..
"Person-centered is very popular in Japan," says Kingo. "However, they have never had anything like existential therapy or gestalt therapy. So they can expand their knowledge here, and bring it back to Japan and as a counselor their insight is expanded. They can expand their insight."
The advantage of unprocessed foods11/30/2009
Nutrition is an often overlooked component of mind-body medicine – it doesn't have the glitz of hypnosis or the hipness of biofeedback. But it's basic: what you decide to put in your body today has a major impact on your health tomorrow.
Just ask Beverly Rubik. A faculty member of Saybrook's College of Mind-Body Medicine and the Director of the Institute for Frontier Science, Rubik is frequently called upon to perform evaluations of health products or regimens, and has recently completed a study on the impact of processed foods on health.
Two words: not good.
In a recent study of the impact of processed foods, Rubik compared fresh blood samples (taken under optimal fasting conditions) of subjects who eat processed foods (including organic) with subjects who do not (in this case, followers of the Weston A. Price diet) for at least two years. The subjects were all healthy adults from 25 to 81 years old, matched for age.
Using a microscopic technique known as dark-field live blood analysis, she observed that the blood cells of those on the Weston A Price diet aggregated and clotted much less than the blood cells of those on conventional modern diets, even hours after the blood samples were drawn.
"Smart pills" have stupid problems11/11/2009
An avalanche starts with a single pebble, and scientists are now warning us that they're seeing the next social avalanche begin: the age of neuro-enhancers … pills to make us smarter … is here.
You see it in large numbers of college students taking the stimulant Adderall to do better on term papers. You see it in pilots and doctors and taxi drivers who work long shifts taking Ritalin to help them concentrate. You see it in the promise of new drugs that will even further enhance "mental performance."
An informal poll conducted last year by the journal Nature found that one in five readers of that scientific publication had taken drugs off-label to improve "their focus, concentration, or memory" – and a third said they would likely give "smart drugs" to their kids if they learned that other parents were doing so.
Call it neuro-enhancement, call it "cosmetic neurology," call it drug addiction – but in the future, we're warned, if you're not popping pills to make you smarter, then you'll be left behind.
Treating "despair" like "depression" only makes things worse11/10/2009
"(I)n an age when all psychic life is being understood in terms of neurotransmitters," wrote Gordon Marino on the New York Times website, "the art of introspection has become passé."
That's a sentiment that the sentimentalists among us can get behind, but the hard-headed will surely ask "So what?" What does it matter if introspection is one more form of "technology" that goes by the wayside, like the horse and buggy, like letter writing, and like card catalogs? Don't we have better "mental technology" now in the form of anti-depressants and fMRI scans?
Well, not exactly. For one thing, the "medicalization" of the mind is leading to a confusion of categories: "depression," as a medical condition, Marino suggests, has become too broad, now encompassing other, unrelated, feelings – like despair.
"Depression" is what comes over us when we're feeling blue, possibly (sometimes) as a result of chemical imbalances – but "despair" is what comes over us when we have a spiritual imbalance, when we have failed to understand who we really are, and live in denial. Marino writes:
"(D)espair is not correlated with any particular set of emotions but is instead marked by a desire to get rid of the self, or put another way, by an unwillingness to become who you fundamentally are. This unwillingness often takes the form of flat out wanting to be someone else."
That's something we've all felt, that can't possibly be "cured" by drugs in any meaningful sense of the term.
Existential Humanistic Institute holds its third annual conference this month11/10/2009
The Existential Humanistic Institute will hold its third annual conference this month, Nov. 19 – 21, in San Francisco.
Co-sponsored by Saybrook, the conference will have the theme of "From Crisis to Creativity Necessary Losses, Unexpected Gains," and will examine the paradoxical nature of life and our times.
Many significant thinkers in the existential-humanistic tradition will be participating. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Robert Stolorow, a world renowned intersubjective psychoanalyst, and author/co-author of numerous books including Working Intersubjectively, Contexts of Being, Faces in a Cloud, and his most recent Trauma and Existence.
Dr. Stolorow's keynote will be followed by a panel discussion between himself and EHI board members about the similarities and differences between intersubjective psychoanalysis and existential-humanistic therapy.
Also notable will be a presentation on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. by California State Assembly Majority Whip Fiona Ma, who will present a trailblazing talk on humanizing governance through improving communications skills among legislators. This will be part of a larger discussion of what EHI vice-president and Saybrook psychology faculty member Kirk Schneider calls "experiential democracy" – an attempt to supplement the standard legislative procedure by helping legislators to personally and experientially encounter issues of moral importance.
Human Science student Gail Ervin wins prestigious World Peace Fellowship11/10/2009
Gail Ervin, an environmental planner and mediator studying in Saybrook's Human Science PhD program with a concentration in Social Transformation has been awarded a prestigious Rotary World Peace Fellowship – one of only two people from the United States to receive the honor this year.
There are 24 fellows in all.
The fellowship involves an 11-week intensive conflict resolution certificate program, with field work in Nepal and along the border of Cambodia, which is fully funded by Rotary Foundation.
At Saybrook, Gail is studying how the global community of conflict resolution practitioners can use networks to fundamentally alter community discourses towards a culture of conflict resolution.
Joel Federman, who directs Saybrook's Social Transformation concentration, served as one of Gail's references for the award.
"Gail is a natural innovator and leader, who has extraordinary academic aptitude, commitment to service, initiative, and grace," Federman said. "We're thrilled that she has received this prestigious fellowship, and proud that she will be representing Saybrook among the community of international peace scholars and practitioners participating in the Rotary program."
Living a courageous life is like driving a car ...11/10/2009
You focus on where you want to go, instead of where you don't. Alison Shapiro explains on her blog at Psychology Today.
Shakespeare in ... lust?10/28/2009
It's a headline guaranteed to make any romantic smile: "Love, but not lust, inspires creativity."
That's the conclusion of a new study reported in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
In it, researchers asked 60 university students to imagine either casual sex with someone they were attracted to but not in love with, or a long walk with their beloved partner, and then put them through a small battery of tests that required logical thinking, and additional tests that required creative thinking.
Sure enough, the students who were primed with romantic feelings did better on the creative tasks.
Sadly for the romantics, Steve Pritzker, who co-chairs Saybrook's Creativity Studies program, says this research doesn't really make a case that love is a stimulant to creativity.
"It's pretty interesting stuff," he acknowledges. "But are a group of university students really a sufficient sample to make that conclusion?" Additionally, he notes, no baseline tests were taken to measure creative skills before the experiment: it's possible that one group was simply more creative that the other, even when they weren't thinking about long romantic walks.
"And," Pritzker adds, "how do we know that the extent of their romantic musings really did stop at long romantic walks? That nothing else happened in their minds? Are we at least a little suspicious?"
That question gets at the heart of the matter for Pritzker: it's very difficult to separate "love" from "lust" sometimes.
Tom Greening to receive 2009 Szasz Award10/28/2009
Throughout his long career – as a private practitioner working with Jim Bugental; as the editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology; as a faculty member at Saybrook, and at UCLA – Tom Greening has striven to live up to the charge of humanistic psychology: to enhance people's ability to experience freedom and meaning in their lives.
That's a mission he's even applied to the "mentally ill" – a term he has come to distrust as both a bad metaphor and as a means of tuning out the idea that we should even be concerned about the need mental patients have to experience freedom and meaning.
This month that work was recognized as Tom Greening was chosen to receive the 2009 Thomas Szasz Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Cause of Civil Liberties – an award named after the pioneering author (and Rollo May Award winner) who championed the idea that "mental illness" is a contradiction in terms.

After Friday's big rivalry win over Starkville, the Green Wave returned to the court to take on Noxubee County. The Wave were in a tight affair, but were able to pull away in the fourth quarter winning the game 73-62.
"I was worried about how we would start the game," commented Head Coach Brad Cox, "Two big rivals Starkville and Noxubee County in a row; I just did not know how we would come out tonight."
Juan Davis opened up the scoring for West Point in the first quarter with a slam dunk. Yet by the middle of the quarter, the Tigers were up 11-9. Noxubee closed out the quarter, outscoring West Point 9-4 to enter the second quarter 20-13. The Green Wave were able to answer Noxubee's first quarter with a strong second quarter. Peair Howard led the way for the Wave in the quarter, and helped end the half with West Point leading 36-33.
"I have come off a loss in football," said Senior Guard Howard, "As a Senior, I want to do whatever it takes; if it is scoring points, diving on the floor, I will do it for this team."
Once again West Point opened up the third quarter with the first two baskets allowing the Wave to extend their lead. Yet a strong Noxubee team kept themselves in the game, and by the middle of the quarter West Point only led 43-40. At the end of the quarter, it was all level at 50. West Point though proved to be the better ball club. The Wave became more patient on the offensive end of the court and two Davis three-pointers pushed West Point out to a 10 point lead. The Wave outscored Noxubee 23-12 in the quarter allowing West Point to win 73-62.
Leading scorer for West Point was Demarius Calvert with 18 points, A.J. Jones and Davis both contributed with 11 points; Tre Williams and Howard had 10 points as well. Diquan Ewing, Tony Craddeth, and Lyndon Johnson all had 4 points.
West Point continues their winning streak and adds another tally in the win column. The Wave will get to play Aberdeen Friday night in Aberdeen. The game against Aberdeen will be West Point's first true road game. Tip-off is set for ten minutes after the Girls' Varsity game.

Not Compatible With Internet Explorer
Posted 06 November 2012 - 02:36 PM
My site is nearly complete. However, it is not displaying correctly in IE. I have the compatability button checked. I am now looking at
but it seems like a lot to do, I am not sure which bits I need. Any steering advice would be helpful.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 05:06 PM
Posted 06 November 2012 - 07:34 PM
I send you two screenshots both the same page on in IE9 and the other in Firefox. Both are viewed on a large widesceen monitor, hence lots of background.
I am using fixed width page layout. The images are the problem, they are all too big.
On another computer the white content background is visible in IE
Thanks Lesley

I checked and found I am using IE8 so I downloaded IE9 and still find horrific results. I dont normally use IE but I know many of my users will. I have installed/activated the Browser Specific CSS as you suggest, but then I come to a full stop! I don't know how to use it, or actually what it does. I have looked at the code in this plugin and although it looks like a really useful piece of kit, I can see anything about IE, Does more code need to be written? Any more documentation please....
Posted 07 November 2012 - 03:37 PM
So if you're adjusting, for example, a page title that's displaying on IE, the CSS would look like this:
Posted 07 November 2012 - 04:15 PM
This is all too difficult for me I'm afraid. I have made a creative website as a newbie with the superb Paglines software and with a great support forum. Almost finished only to find that I cannot make it display in IE. Its very frustrating. I can't write code and I don't understand what, if anything, I can do to make it compatible with possibly 50% of my users.
Surely I'm not the only one with this problem?
Best Regards, and congratulations on the elections.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 03:23 AM
If you need to someone to go in and code some fixes for other browsers, have a look at the Pagelines Pros www.pagelines.com/pros they may be able to help further.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 10:56 AM
If I take off campatibility mode in my browser, how does that help other people view my site?
Should I write instructions on the homepage advising people to change their browsers. Mmm that's going to look professional!
What I would like to know is
1. How do I use the plugin that Rob suggested and I installed. (above)
2. What do other people do about this problem. Surely when other people use pagelines they hit this problem. I have tested it in all browsers and it is fine but IE.. No. What does everyone else do?
Posted 08 November 2012 - 03:44 PM
2. Other people often leave the issue alone since it's out of their hands or they manage to find a decent workaround that mitigates the problem a little bit (even though it doesn't get rid of the problem completely).
Posted 08 November 2012 - 08:19 PM
I have disabled compatability view from IE and yes James B is right that help significantly. Now I will resize all images at source and reload and in this way somthing like normality will resume, I hope.
Thanks for your help everyone.

Club competitions
National team competitions
16-24, 17-22, 18-23, 8-17
There was no trouble for EuroChallenge Group A leaders Pinar Karsiyaka as they claimed a third straight success of the season to preserve their perfect record via an 86-59 blowout of ETHA in Cyprus.
In line with their impressive domestic work in the Turkish League, the visitors made light work of despatching the still winless hosts.
Once a three-pointer by Caner Topaloglu put them 34-22 in front, they easily managed to keep their opponent at arms' length - even if ETHA did threaten the visitors' dominance when they immediately tried to reel them back in with seven unanswered points.
But, Karsiyaka simply put their foot back on the accelerator and as they shifted through the gears, the home team was unable to keep pace - and particularly when the Turkish club made an eye-popping six consecutive three-pointers during the third quarter.
Umit Sonkol and Robert Dixon led the way, sharing eight triples and 38 points.
Howard Johnson had nine points and 10 rebounds for ETHA.
Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica"First of all, we played very good today especially in the defensive part. Congratulations to all my players."
Karsiyaka Player Serkan Mentese"We played very well, we deserved to win because we played better that the host team."
Michelin Etha head coach Kyriakos Adamou"It was a very difficult game. Congratulations to Karsiyaka, they played much better than us, we lost many opportunities to score escecially when the score was closed. Good luck for the rest of the season."
Michelin Etha player Alexandros Georgiades"Congratulations to the team and the coach, they played much more aggressive than us, tried harder. Now we focus on our next game for the local league with Apollon next friday and we hope we will be more aggressive in that game. Once more congratulations to Karsiyaka."

I wanted to share a personal experience I recently had. After determining about two weeks ago that my life was filled with uncontrollable feelings of misery I decided to take my own life. I didn't tell anyone, nor did I cry out for help. I was found on the floor of my office after ingesting a 90 day supply of sleeping pills. I was rushed to the hospital, my stomach pumped, medicated and subsequently put on the psych floor this past week. I'm writing from my laptop right now.
The first night I was on the psych floor we had a group session. I was still weak and occasionally vomiting from ingesting the pills but my therapist seemed to think it important that I attend, although I told them I was agnostic/atheist when I was admitted to the floor. A preacher came in and sat with a group of about 15 of us asking us to pray for peace and was generally trying to promote feelings of good will among the group. I had only been on the floor for a handful of hours but I already knew sitting amongst me were mentally ill people who claimed that the creator himself spoke with them. It suddenly occurred to me that the preacher was making the same claim as everyone sitting around me… but at least he was getting paid.
The hospital staff and therapists are always asking us if we feel safe, if we feel like we can talk with them about anything concerning us no matter what the topic. I felt an overwhelming sense of concern for myself and my fellow patients on the floor so I asked my therapist for a minute to talk and he sat down. I asked him straight out if it was a good idea for doctors who rely on empirical evidence to make diagnosis and judgments concerning the treatment of their patients, many of whom were convinced they were in touch with invisible beings, to be preached to and have their beliefs ramified by a person of the cloth who claimed to be in touch with those same invisible beings.
Please keep in mind right now that if I had said, "I think Kermit the Frog is my brother" or "Aliens have poisoned the soda cans in the kitchen" I could have carried on a conversation with my therapist for hours and hours. My therapist looked me in the eye and said, "You might want to think about the effect your questions may have on the staff of this floor before you talk about things like that. That's a very hot button topic and a lot of the staff are deeply religious. You have no idea what other people believe and what you just said could be viewed as very offensive to a lot of people on this floor."
He then stood up and left. I requested to be moved to a different therapist the next day. That entire exchange has left me shaken and I've written to the hospital administrator about this. I felt that the topic of concern wasn't even the problem at that point, although I do see it as concerning nonetheless. What was suddenly clear to me was that there was a very real chance that even the doctors looking out for my well being could not set aside their personal beliefs about invisible people to hear my concern. I had so horribly trespassed on their personal beliefs that they might not be able to objectively treat me properly. These were not patients… these were doctors. These are people I expected to look on me with some concern for my well being but it seemed that they could not set aside their notions about their religious beliefs to address or at least hear me out on my concerns. I was avoided by at least 6 of the 10 doctors/therapists on the floor this past week.
I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and they finally let me have access to my laptop yesterday night. I live in a major metropolitan city, not in some backwater town. Even my father, who is a religious person, thought this was disgusting. Has anyone else on this forum run into something similar with medical professionals?
I was deeply shocked.

John Gambadoro@Gambo620
Nash to LA for multiple picks all but done!!!
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
John Gambadoro@Gambo620
Nash never wanted to go to Toronto he wanted to be closer to home in Phoenix, he falls into the 8.9 mill exception. Deal is done
this is relevant cuz it means no shumpert for us
This sunsfan88 dude on psd is really going to drive me crazy. He's acting like Gordon is already a member of the Suns. Talking about how it's a foregone conclusion that we won't match and there will be a sign and trade.
This is his sig:
Let me know what you all think about this trade...
Phoenix: Eric Gordan, Jarrett Jack
New Orleans: Kendall Marshall, Markieff Morris, Robin Lopez, 1st round pick (protected in 2013), 1st round pick (unprotected in 2015)
Just an idea...what are your thoughts?
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 auto-gyro?"
There's one guy, I don't know if that's him or not, that has been sporting that Gordon sig for months.
This would be the best option in my opinion..
Gordon for
1st round unprotected??
Although we would have the most rookie based starting lineup in history LOL
What FMO is that the Suns have already added Gordon to their player list and he has been named captain.
FFS what a load of crap!! I know its wiki but seriously?
I like the Brook Lopez thingy better then any of the trades & stuff proposed. If we attempt a S&T, we should look to get a player while still being under the cap! With that, we are able to sign Lopez!
Too bad Gordon isn't going anywhere!!!
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
If we trade to Suns and don't get at least Gortat and a first rounder, I'll deal with another CPME player for at least a year and trade him to the other 28 teams.
My 3 team S&T:
NO gets: Marcin Gortat, Marshon Brooks, Kendall Marshall, PHX 1st round pick
PHX gets: Eric Gordon, Jarrett Jack
Brooklyn gets: Chris Kaman, Jared Dudley
NO gets young assets, a new Center and a pick
PHX gets Gordon and a replacement for Nash leaving
Brooklyn gets their Center and a shooter in Dudley
Welp now that this is more likely, I would like to say we aren't going to get too much (also Atlanta owns their 2013 first), A deal I would consider with phoenix is Marshall, Morris, and 2015 lakers first. (although I'm slightly worried about two many rookies)
This years line up
If all breaks right with the Tank (Muhammad, Noel, C. Zeller) and players pan out... we'd have a dangerous teams with a whole lot of cap space, If Davis is the player we all think he is, then I'm not too worried about what direction we go with this.
We get: Kendall Marshall, Brook Lopez (S&T), Phoenix's 2013 1st round pick (Top-3 protected)
PHX gets: Eric Gordon
Brooklyn gets: Marcin Gortat
Brooklyn gets some cap space + Gortat is a better Center than Lopez is at this time, which helps them to "win now." Lopez is better for us because he is younger and offensive minded - great pair with Davis. Phoenix is going to have to give up some talent to get Gordon. Demps won't let him go for anything less than top dollar, and Gortat, Marshall, and their 1st round pick sounds about right.
gortat or Lopez and a protected future first is about the best we could feasibly get out of Phx.
would not be the worst deal for us as it fills an immediate need

I looked at some Sam Harris'tv appearances and i found him very courageous to argue with O'reilly. In United States right now, the intellectuals like him can hardly discuss such topics with serenity and reason. The religious and probaably the political argumentations lay solely on manicheism.Recently i have seen on french tv avery good conversatio between intellectuals. One of them just wrote -Le traité d'athologie- Michel Onfray explained why this writing was for him a militant action. I was also impressed by their common views even if i did not read Sam Harris' book (my english is not very good!).
I don't know if Mr Harris read those forums but i want to tell him: Chapeau monsieur and keep going. I hope one day to hear him in some Montréal's universities and read his french translated's book.
The courage of Sam Harris

The 2015 Mustang may still have one of the most recognizable names in the automotive world, but with its latest redesign, it's become far more than just a pretty face and a familiar name. It now represents one of the best value propositions for buyers who just want the fastest car for their money. There is no longer a "slow" Mustang and a "fast" Mustang, there are just "fast" and "even faster" versions. The Mustang starts at $23,600, a price that undercuts most of its less powerful rivals, such as the Subaru BRZ. Even when optioned out beyond the $40,000 mark, the Mustang still represents a tremendous deal, with performance that excels relative to that higher price point as well.
Compare the 2015 Ford Mustang against similar models
The Mustang gets a full redesign for 2015, its first complete redesign in a number of years. The styling is all new, looking far more modern and far less retro than the previous two generations. Despite this, one look is all it takes to instantly identify the new car as a Mustang.
For the first time in a number of decades, the Mustang will be available with a 4-cylinder power plant, helping to improve fuel efficiency. A turbo however, ensures that even the new 4-cylinder Mustang will be no slouch at the local drag strip.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

This is not your father's Mustang. The wild pony has grown into a refined, capable thoroughbred, updated with the latest engineering and technological advancements. But not to worry, the iconic muscle car hasn't abandoned its roots. The 2015 Mustang is the logical evolution of a classic, with notable improvements in power, handling and interior features, while retaining every ounce of its visceral appeal. Without a doubt, the 2015 Ford Mustang is the best yet in the model's 50-year history.
At first glance, the redesign of the 2015 Mustang is not revolutionary. Lines and proportions are unmistakable, long in front, short in rear. The new Mustang is lower and wider, with a wider rear track and rear fenders, giving it a more aggressive, hunkered appearance. In a nod to Mustangs past, coupes return to the fastback rear window. The new design helps the Mustang achieve a lower coefficient of drag, which helps it slip through the air more easily and perform more efficiently. New design cues include LED headlights and accent lights, as well as a new three-dimensional interpretation of the classic tri-bar tail lights.
The 2015 Mustang gets power from one of three engines, including a new 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 Ecoboost engine that makes an impressive 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. Base models use a 3.7-liter V6 that makes 300 hp and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. The Mustang GT gets a new 5.0-liter V8, with a new valvetrain and cylinder heads, as well as a new intake manifold for better low-speed aspiration. The 5.0 is no slouch, putting out 420 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.
Unlike many car companies, Ford still has love for the manual transmission, as do we. The standard gearbox on all models is a 6-speed manual with hill start assist, with just the right amount of feel through the gates, not too firm and not too sloppy. A 6-speed automatic is optional, which we found to be quite good. Even in normal mode, the transmission is geared on the sporty side, holding shifts longer and downshifting when our revs dropped. All automatics come with paddle shifters, for those who want to click through their own gears.
Handling is vastly improved on the 2015 Mustang thanks to an all-new suspension. Up front is an independent MacPherson strut system that uses double ball joints, which also clears space for larger brakes. In back, the Mustang finally goes to an independent rear suspension (the setup of choice for most sports cars), using an integral-link setup that features retooled springs, dampers and bushings, as well as aluminum rear knuckles that reduce weight; this replaces the previous live rear axle.
Interior quality is improved in the 2015 Mustang, with soft-touch materials, comfortable seats and an attractive, logical dash layout. More features come standard, among them pushbutton start and Ford's Sync voice recognition system. Small, thoughtful touches equate to more comfort, including a narrower center stack that leaves more knee room for the driver and front passenger, and the repositioned cupholders on the center console that leave a clear shifting path.
Though the 2015 Mustang shows improvement in nearly every way, it slips compared to the outgoing models when it comes to fuel economy. The most efficient is the new 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine, which achieves an EPA-estimated 22/31 mpg City/Highway with the manual transmission and 21/32 mpg City/Highway with the automatic. V6-powered Mustangs rate 17/28 mpg City/Highway with the manual and 19/28 mpg with the automatic. No surprise that the V8-powered 5.0 Mustang GT is the biggest gas guzzler, with an EPA rating of 15/25 mpg City/Highway with the manual and 16/25 mpg with the automatic.
Competitors to the 2015 Ford Mustang include the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, but we think the Mustang clearly outshines both of these when it comes to performance, drivability and value.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is available in fastback coupe and convertible styles.
Mustang V6 Coupe ($23,600) and Mustang V6 Convertible ($29,100) are powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine. Standard features include manually operated air conditioning, cloth upholstery, a four-way manual driver seat, two-way manual passenger seat, power door locks, windows and outside mirrors, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, pushbutton start, trip computer, Ford's Sync voice recognition system with 4.2-inch multifunction display, six-speaker audio system with single CD player, USB ports and auxiliary audio jack, rearview camera, auto-dimming rearview mirror, capless fueling system, HID headlamps, LED tail lamps and 17-inch painted aluminum wheels.
Mustang Ecoboost Coupe ($29,170) is powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Additional standard features include six-way power driver seat with power lumbar, a two-way power passenger seat, active noise cancellation, LED fog lamps, unique interior trim, and a rear spoiler. Mustang Ecoboost Premium Coupe ($29,170) and Mustang Ecoboost Premium Convertible ($34,670) add to that with heated mirrors, satellite radio capability and pony projection lights.
Mustang GT Coupe ($32,100) is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 and comes with larger brake rotors with four-piston calipers, an engine oil cooler, launch control, air extractor hood vents, dual exhaust with polished tips and 18-inch wheels.
Mustang GT Premium Coupe ($36,100) and Mustang GT Premium Convertible ($41,600) add dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery with heated and cooled front seats, a universal garage door opener, the Sync with MyFord Touch interface, nine-speaker sound system with amplifier, additional ambient lighting, aluminum foot pedals, selectable drive modes and a rear diffuser.
Options available on all models include different cloth and leather Recaro seats ($1595), navigation ($795), 18-,19-, and 20-inch wheel designs and other accessories. A GT Performance package ($2495) for V8-equipped models includes larger Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers, additional bracing, heavy duty front springs, unique chassis tuning, larger radiator and 19-inch gloss black wheels.
Safety equipment on all Mustangs includes a post-crash alert system, seven airbags, including dual‑stage frontal, front seat side impact, side curtain and driver knee; antilock brakes, electronic stability control and 911 Assist crash notification system. Optional safety features include reverse parking sensors, blind spot alert with cross-traffic monitoring and adaptive cruise control with collision mitigation.
Although the sheet metal has been completely redesigned, the 2015 Ford Mustang is still instantly recognizable. The Mustang keeps its classic proportions, long in front and short in the rear. The new Mustang is lower and wider, with a wider rear track and rear fenders, giving it a more aggressive, hunkered-down appearance. In a nod to Mustangs past, coupes return to the fastback-style rear window. Convertibles get a new soft top that Ford says will lower and raise twice as fast as the old one.
In front, the 2015 Mustang gets a new interpretation of what Ford calls the Mustang's shark bite front end, with a low, wide trapezoidal front grille with an integrated pony icon. It's flanked by HID headlights with slanted tri-bar LED accent lights. Upper-level models get LED foglamps. Sharp hood creases give the front end a three-dimensional look.
From the side, the Mustang's flat and upright front end is apparent. A straight, sharp crease runs from behind the front fender, through the door handle and just a head of the rear fender. Coupes get a sharply sloping fastback.
A variety of wheel designs are available, from the V6's standard painted aluminum wheels, to the GT's 19-inch alloys in gloss black; 20-inch rims are also available. Upper trim levels and the 5.0 GT also get a rear decklid spoiler.
From the rearview, the coupe's large, sloping rear window pays homage to Mustang fastbacks of years past. Three-dimensional tri-bar LED taillights echo the front's accent lighting. Dual exhaust pipes are integrated into the rear bumper, with bright chrome tips on GT models, and a rear diffuser on GT Premium trims.
Comfort and quality are greatly improved in the 2015 Mustang. Interior materials include soft-touch plastics and aluminum trim that feel good to the touch, not cheap or flimsy. More features come standard, such as pushbutton start and Ford's Sync voice recognition system. Small, thoughtful touches equate to more comfort, like a narrower center stack that leaves more knee room for the driver and front passenger, and repositioned cupholders on the center console that leave a clear shifting path.
Analog gauges feature blue text on a black background, with an LCD in between that displays various vehicle data. A new steering wheel is smaller than before, and is beefy enough to get a good grip without feeling overstuffed. On the wheel are a variety of controls for easy access, including audio, phone and voice recognition functions.
On the center stack, a color touch screen sits beneath three round air vents. Controls are a mix of rotary knobs, hard buttons and a row of analog switches, which control the hazard lights and drive modes. On cars equipped with automatic climate control, hard buttons control most functions, though, to change the airflow (i.e. from face to floor), one must go into the menu on the touch screen, which takes more steps than it should.
Seats are comfortable and fit snug in the hips, perfect for a Brazilian racecar driver or a slim woman, but anyone bigger will find themselves sitting on top of the seat cushion bolstering. Other parts of the seats are proportioned for bigger people, like a long seat cushion that prevents the Brazilian driver or petite woman from bending his or her knees. Plenty of shoulder room between the supportive side bolsters. On our test car, our seats had power slide and lumbar functions, but reclined manually. Cloth upholstery comes standard on all but 5.0 GT models, with an optional upgraded Recaro sport cloth, which we preferred to the base. GT Premium trims get leather interior.
Storage in the cabin is minimal, but enough for anything but long road trips. A small tray below the analog switches on the center stack holds a smartphone or keys. Side door pockets are just wide enough to accommodate a standard-sized water bottle, but must be placed sideways. The center console has two cupholders, and there is moderate.
Forget about using the backseat for anything but storage space. It's small and cramped, and even an average-sized driver will have the seat back far enough to pretty much eliminate any rear legroom. Plus, we found that the lever used to access the backseat is stiff and hard to use.
A six-speaker audio system with a single CD player comes standard, and produces average sound. The upgraded Shaker Pro system is better, but didn't blow us away. We think Harman Kardon and Bose do a better job in this arena.
Ford offers a new free app, compatible with iPhone and Android-powered smartphones, to learn more about the 2015 Mustang. Users can access owner information, learn history about the Mustang brand, locate nearby racetracks and play games. An augmented reality feature uses the phone's camera to shows hot spots inside the Mustang cabin, then lets users click their phone's screen to find more info. We found the app promising, but many functions at this point are more novel than useful.
Visibility in the 2015 Mustang is remarkably good, especially compared to the blind-spot-laden Chevrolet Camaro. In most current cars, the A-pillar is so wide it hampers visibility, but the Mustang's cleverly designed A-pillar is narrow enough to allow one to look through the corners. We could also see fine out the rear fastback window. Low profile rearview mirrors take some getting used to. We found the optional blind spot monitoring system helped to fill in the gaps.
Trunk space in the 2015 Ford Mustang measures 13.5 cubic feet in coupe variants, which is shy of the Dodge Challenger's 16.2 cubic feet, but beats the Chevrolet Camaro's paltry 11.3 cubic feet. Convertibles get 11.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
Rarely is the word refined used to describe an American muscle car, but the Mustang manages to pull it off with its composed ride and handling and smooth power delivery.
We took test drives in Mustangs with the 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine and the 5.0-liter V8 and found both delightful in different ways. We have not tested a 3.7-liter V6-powered Mustang, however.
During our test drives in Mustangs with the 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine, we found acceleration smooth and plentiful, with plenty of low-end thrust on hand thanks to the twin-scroll turbocharger and barely perceptible turbo lag. We never would have known we were driving a four-cylinder engine except on a steep climb through winding neighborhood roads at slower speeds, and a few times up a mountain when passing slower traffic.
Still, we found the Ecoboost-powered Mustang is at its best at moderate- to higher speeds. The ride felt just a tad halting and constrained in morning stop-and-go commute traffic around Los Angeles. But once we were able to open it up, the car felt as if it breathed a sigh of relief.
The V8, of course, is a whole other animal. With its 420 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, we had more than enough power in any driving condition. Though, as is typically for a naturally aspirated engine, power delivery is more linear and not as torquey on the low end like the turbocharged powerplant.
Both the automatic and manual transmissions are quite capable and help the Mustang reach its full potential. Our Ecoboost model was equipped with the automatic, which we found to be a good match for this engine. Even in normal mode, the transmission is geared on the sporty side, holding shifts longer and downshifting when our revs dropped. All automatics come with paddle shifters, for those who want to click through their own gears.
We found the Mustang GT equipped with the 6-speed manual satisfying to shift, with the right amount of feel through the gates, not too firm and not too sloppy.
An all-new independent rear suspension takes the 2015 Mustang to a whole new level. Mustangs of the past were rough-and-tumble around the corners (part of their appeal for some). Not so now. The suspension on the Ecoboost is firm yet comfortable, keeping all four wheels firmly planted. In the 5.0 GT, we felt more suspension rebound, presumably due to the V8 engine's significant weight difference. In both cases, the chassis is stable and solid, with just enough perceptible body lean in the corners to give the driver feedback, while still feeling solid.
Driving modes change steering feel, throttle response and shift points (with the automatic transmission). Suspension setups are fixed; there are no fancy variable dampers or adjustable ride heights. That's fine by us.
Standard wheels with the Ecoboost engine are 17-inch with all-season tires. The ride felt surprisingly aggressive on this base setup, and we did notice some noise coming from the tires. On our test car, we also noticed wind noise coming from the B-pillar at highway speeds. In other respects, though, the cabin was quiet.
The exhaust note of the Ecoboost engine isn't as melodious as that of the V8, but it sounds much beefier than most turbocharged inline-4s, thanks in large part to careful sound engineering. Throatier, artificial engine noise is piped through the audio system's speakers during acceleration and downshifting for more aural satisfaction.
The sound of the 5.0 GT, on the other hand, is the real deal, though sound is amplified into the cabin. While some complain the sound is too docile for the famous 5.0, we think it suited this more-refined generation perfectly.
Steering feel is authentic and provides just the right amount of effort. Unlike some steering systems that feel artificially heavy, the Mustang's steering is always comfortable. Even in Normal mode, the steering is responsive. We prefer Sport mode, which gave us quick feedback without making our arms tired.
Standard wheels on V6 and Ecoboost models are 17-inch aluminum; the 5.0 gets 18-inch aluminum wheels. A Performance Package with summer tires is available on the Ecoboost and 5.0.
Four-wheel disc brakes come standard on every Mustang, with a choice of three brake packages. Brakes are firm and have a high point of engagement. The brake pedal on our Ecoboost car took a while to get used to, as we felt a small amount of travel, then into a firm bite; not as progressive we'd like. The braking setup in the GT was, expectedly also firm and aggressive, but felt more appropriate for the rest of the setup.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is the best yet in the car's 50-year history. With refined handling, plenty of power and an upgraded cabin, the Mustang is equally at home on the street and on the track. The new four-cylinder Ecoboost engine provides surprising power and is the most efficient of the bunch, while the 5.0 V8 continues to impress with its beefy V8 and throaty exhaust.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.
