Car
Having a new car ignites an excitement like no other. But since most states require car insurance policy for all car owners and drivers, you might not be able to drive your brand new ride yet if you are not a policy holder.
Well this is not surprisingly new for car dealers will inform you before you can even drive your car off the lot that you must show them a proof of your car insurance policy.
Now what to do in case you do not have any car insurance yet? First you must have a policy before you purchase your car. Decide on what kind of coverage you and your brand new car needs. In making decisions about this make sure to incorporate the requirement set forth by your state. By doing so you are certain that you cannot be classified by your state as underinsured and you are making yourself saved from lots of trouble it may cause.
The Fit is sold in more than 70 countries and is known in Europe as the Jazz. It debuts at
C/D in typical Honda show-off fashion, winning by 25 points — a cakewalk.
Our little red Fit was the quickest to 60 mph (tied with the Reno) and the quickest in the quarter-mile yet offered the least engine NVH and the second-best observed fuel economy. It came equipped with the most supportive seats, the most expensive-looking interior, an Acura-grade gauge cluster, and the ergonomics of an Accord.
What truly set the Fit apart was its handling — not a pretense of handling but the real deal, with springs and struts that allowed one gentle rebound and no more, the only car here that felt happy storming the switchbacks. We later confirmed this when the Fit sailed through our lane-change test
6 mph faster than anything else here — faster, in fact, than a Corvette Z06.
Abetting the handling was linear, direct steering — you could pick out a pebble at an apex and reliably place the Fit’s inside-front wheel directly atop it — a shifter that Hyundai and Suzuki would do well to copy, and pedals for real heel-and-toeing.
Despite its midget proportions — the least width and length, riding on the shortest wheelbase — the Fit will swallow an amazing 42 cubic feet of household miscellany when its rear seats are toppled. And they fold quite cleverly, without removing the headrests, into a deep well, making the cargo floor as flat as a trailer park.
We wish the Fit had a true dead pedal and that its rear-three-quarter visibility were better. Otherwise, we elect it president of the economobiles. Unlike Ohio’s Presidents, this one is alive. Very alive.
Honda Fit and Grant.
ULYSSES S. GRANT, 18th President. Born in 1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio, Grant’s given name was Hiram Ulysses Grant, but the admissions office at West Point enrolled him as Ulysses Simpson Grant, an error he never corrected. Known as "Lyss," Grant washed out of the Army but later returned and became the architect of the Union victory during the Civil War. Unfortunately, he was a heavy-artillery dud as President, wandering the White House looking "bewildered" and a little "whiskeyed up"—possibly the same thing. Grant’s tenure was marked by scandals: gifts from admirers, a cabinet filled with personal friends and liquor, a retroactive pay increase, an Indian agency fraud. In 1885, as Grant lay at death’s door, a doctor temporarily revived him. "It is Providence!" shouted a nearby minister. "Not at all," corrected Grant’s doctor. "It was the brandy."
