Saturn Establishes Blog and Social Network

Saturn Parts

Two of the most popular sites on the web right now (aside from your generic e-mail) are blogs and social networks. Once limited to just writing your own thoughts (just like your paper journal) or a way of meeting old friends, nowadays, both have been used as an avenue to share files, write about actual news and even make money. One company has taken note of how blogs and social networking sites have faired and has decided to create a combination of the two. Please welcome to the fold ImSaturn.

Set-up by car manufacturer Saturn, the ImSaturn web site is what happens when you mix together a blog and a social networking site. This web site will now allow members to interact with one another, discuss about the different Saturn cars and Saturn Parts out in the market. Of course, the site isn’t just limited to talking about Saturn (where’s the social networking fun in that?). You can pretty much talk about and post anything you want under the sun. Groups can also be set-up based on your interests. If that wasn’t enough, Saturn has also announced that the first 400 members of the ImSaturn will be getting a free t-shirt (although as per Autoblog, there are already 100 members currently in, leaving only about 300 tees left).

So if you’re into blogging, are crazy about meeting different people or you’re just interested in discussing about different Saturn cars and Saturn Parts, then why not give ImSaturn a shot. Just log on to http://www.imsaturn.com/ and start socializing.

Ford Focused On Bringing It’s Focus To The US

Ford Focus

For those who’ve been dying to get their hands on a Euro-version of the Ford Focus, here’s you’re chance. Considered to be one of the best compact, family car that came out of Ford Motors production plant because of the quality performance dished out by its Ford Focus Parts, the all new Ford Focus will now be produced by Ford engineers coming from both the US and its international affiliates.

The announcement was made by Ford’s product chief, Derrick Kuzak, during the SAE World Congress held in Detroit. According to the announcement, the new Ford Focus will be released either in 2010 or 2011. He added that eighty-seven percent of its Ford Focus Parts will be coming from abroad. The decision was made by Ford to help reduce production costs and establish a universal engineering process among all Ford production plants worldwide.

The new Ford Focus, according to Kuzak, will undergo a redesign and will be based on the successful European version. The first Euro-version of the Ford Focus was first released in 1998 and since then, the Focus series has been considered a best-seller. As a result of the team-up, Ford will now have the opportunity to bring to the United States the C1 platform that has made the European Ford Focus popular. This platform has helped improve the different Ford Focus Parts of the European version, particularly the ones used in the steering, suspension and braking systems of the car.  

So if you’re one of those itching to get one of these new Ford Focus cars, now is a good time to save up. You’ve only got a window of opportunity of about two to three years before Ford unleashes these babies out into the market. And believe me when I say that you won’t be the only one lying in wait to get one.

Dodge Neon Parts

Over the years, racing has slowly garnered a huge following. It’s not limited to the racing that occurs in huge sports organization like NASCAR or the Formula 1. Racing has gone beyond that and nowadays, it’s even done in the streets. That’s how popular it’s become (don’t trust us? Then pop in a DVD of all three Fast and the Furious movies and you’ll see what I’m talking about). Of course, to truly make a name for yourself in the records of street racing, you’ll need the right car with the right set of parts. And one of the cars that were considered to be an instant hit in the world of racing (both in the streets and on the track) is the Dodge Neon.

Developed by Chrysler and launched in 1994, the first generation of Dodge Neon cars was able to make a name for themselves by competing in the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) Solo Autocross. Thanks to the different Dodge Neon Parts installed with it like the 4-wheel disc brakes, non-adjustable struts, adjustable dampers, thicker sway bars, fast-ratio steering and a manual transmission that made the car capable of reaching the top speed of 190 km/h, the Dodge Neon found a way to hold its own on the race track.

So even with the production for the Dodge Neon series ending in 2005, chances are there is still a huge amount of these cars driving around the race tracks or making a name in street racing. So in case you feel the urge to start racing, either professionally or just for the fun of it, then give the Dodge Neon a try. Just make sure that you’re equipped with the right set of Dodge Neon Parts to help you drive past the competition. Unless you want the competition to just blow you away.
