Jones introduces new warranty for used cars

In a bold move to differentiate itself from other dealerships, the Jones Auto Centers have introduced a limited lifetime power train warranty for used vehicles. This covers the failure of the vehicle's engine, transmission, and drive train. This warranty is for the life of the vehicle as long as it was purchased at Jones with less than 100,000 miles. Most importantly the warranty is completely free.“We wanted to do something different and something that would both bring Valley people into Wickenburg and also cause Wickenburg people to shop locally," said Jones Ford-Mercury Chrysler Jeep General Manager Brian Jones. “This is catastrophic protection. It protects the buyer for the life of the vehicle as long as we do the factory recommended service and preventative maintenance."

Innovation in Game Development Not Just Limited to Programmers and ...

San Francisco, CA (OPENPRESS) March 8, 2007 -- At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, professionals from the video game industry are learning and sharing the newest techniques for creating and marketing successful PC, console and mobile games. For developers of casual games that are commonly downloaded and played on a PC, many are exploring creative new distribution models, shifting away from relying on some of the old ways that have been used to market games online. The casual games business has grown rapidly over the past few years, built on the foundation of the try-before-you-buy model, followed by RealArcades software client model, or the popular subscription-based model of Big Fish Games, Shockwave and RealArcades GamePass. The true catalyst for growth of this industry has been the try-before-you-buy model that made it easy and risk-free to sample games before you were required to enter your credit card information.

Bill Proposes Doubling Automobile Sales Tax

North Carolina consumers would have to pay more than double the current tax on the purchase of a new car or truck under a tax increase proposal introduced to the state senate last week.

Senate Bill 1201, introduced by state Sen. Dan Clodfelter (D-Charlotte), would raise the Highway Use Tax on a new vehicle from the current 3 percent to 6.75 percent.

If passed, the tax would raise an estimated $900 million annually for the state's Highway Trust Fund.

Not surprisingly, the bill already has a growing list of opponents. The bill's one known supporter, Sen. Clodfelter, could not be reached for comment.

"To ask North Carolinians to pay an additional $900 million in taxes each year would add approximately $20 to each consumer's monthly car payment," North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association President Robert Glaser said.

Born under a Mad sign

OK, well, not absolutely "all." (Women, for example, it taught me nothing about. Or how to change a tire.) But it was as essential a text as anything penned by Marshall McLuhan in understanding media and the mediated world, and it was much easier for a 10-year-old to work out.

Plenty of it went right over my head, of course, but that's part of what made it attractive and valuable: Things that go over your head can make you raise your head a little higher.

The magazine instilled in me a habit of mind, a way of thinking about a world rife with false fronts, small print, deceptive ads, booby traps, treacherous language, double standards, half truths, subliminal pitches and product placements; it warned me that I was often merely the target of people who claimed to be my friend.

What's on Now

Ernie Els, the No. 6 player in golf's world rankings, has agreed to a multi-year equipment endorsement deal with Callaway Golf just days after leaving a four-year relationship with Titleist. Callaway announced the deal as Els began first round play in the Johnnie Walker Classic in Thailand with a Callaway FT-5 driver, an HX Tour 56 golf ball and a new Callaway bag. Callaway and Els will work on fitting him with the metalwoods, irons, wedges and putter that best suit his game. The driver has 8.5 degrees of loft and aneutral face bias, and Els got comfortable with it in just two days of trial, said a company official. The eventual switch to an Odyssey putter (Odyssey is a Callaway business unit) is definite, said the Callaway official. As for irons and wedges, Els will work with legendary Callaway club designer Roger Cleveland, who has known Els for more than 17 years. Els will continue to wear the hat with SAP logo on front, but the Callaway logo appears on the sides and back of his cap. Although it was reported in some quarters that Callaway bought out Els agreement with Titleist, Callaway officials said that's not true. The parties didn't disclose specific terms of the deal.
