A Look At The Fiat 500

Jennifer Lopez

After a long absence from the US, Fiat, largely due to the relationship they are involved with at the new Chrysler Corporation, re-entered the market with the Fiat 500. During their opening introduction salvos, they featured full page newspaper ads that high-lighted the small car. Quite honestly, the first impression, based on these ads was not particularly favorable. It looked like just another toy car doomed to quick extinction by American tastes for big and bigger.

Then something happened. Perhaps it was the Jennifer Lopez link, but when TV ads began appearing that gave close up views of this vehicle, perception changed. What a delightful little car this Fiat actually was, once you got up close and personal. This little gem has great, novel European lines, and extremely attractive styling. Like Jennifer, there is no doubt that this thing is hot, which may not be everyone’s favorite temperature. To be sure, it is small. Surprisingly, for its size it seats two rather comfortably. That is the market segment they are after.

Many American car buyers will not be impressed. To many, Euro style means unattractive. There is some apprehension about quality, as well as price and power. The Fiat 500 … Read more at FryingPanSports

Before you just go out and start climbing it is important to take professional lessons and to really perfect your skills. Here are some of the different types of climbing:

  • Conventional rock climbing – this is where you have a nice rope, harness, and you often scale up a large rock face with the assistance of other climbers and having a person to belay and to provide you with safety. This is a great way to climb and it is a lot of fun. Most people will learn how to start climbing this way indoors before they move onto outdoor climbing where it gets to be a bit tricky. Sport rock climbing also falls under this category as you have people that leave certain gear attached to the rock so you

Ideas of activities that you can enjoy for yourself of a group of people would be a backpacking hike, a venturous voyage through a traverse canyon or a set out to reach a mountain peak  adorned in wilderness. These types of activities can seem like your own adventure.

Tips For Saving Money On Ski Accessories This Winter


When it comes to buying ski equipment, it should come as no surprise that it can be expensive.  In fact, the truth is, I’m sure more people would participate in this great sport if it were cheaper.  However, what many may not realize, is that with a little effort, you can save quite a bit of money and not break the bank buying the gear you need o get out and enjoy yourself!

When it comes to saving money on ski accessories, items like ski poles, gloves and goggles, the trick is to find retailers online who are offering some sort of buyer incentives.  These incentives generally take the form of coupon offers, free shipping promotions, and reward programs.  However, there are many other incentives as well, in fact more and more retailers are offering discounts and free gifts just for “liking” them on Facebook.  I recently saw one retailer giving away free ski hats to people who “like” them.

If such buyer incentives are still not enough, and the prices seem to high still, I suggest turning to used equipment.  You can find used ski equipment at various places, online more and more ski retailers are beginning … Read more at FryingPanSports

The Beauty – RC Sailboat Versus the Sheer Acceleration of a Speedboat

When I was a kid I remember the older men racing radio-controlled sailboats at the local lake near my house.  I used to live in a windy location so the venue was ideal for the sport.  Soon after, the hot-rods came by and started bringing the much faster nitro and methanol powered RC Powerboats.  Those things were incredible!  They used to host races every single weekend.  The fever soon became an obsession.  It wasn’t long before there were 30-50 guys at the lake every weekend racing boats.

Even with the extra speed of the gas-powered boats, the love of rc sailboats still remains.  In fact, some people GREATLY prefer the slow, quiet and peaceful drive of a sailboat.  I mean, most people spend the entire week in a fast-paced environment.  Some will argue that the last thing they need is more stress from being competitive in the weekends as well. For those boats, radio-controlled sailboats and other quiet vehicles, such as gliders are probably the best bet.

But either way, there’s no denying the sheer speed an awesome acceleration of a gas-powered RC speedboat.  Not only that, but they look unreal too!  Some are designed to look just like the … Read more at FryingPanSports
