Another One Bites the Dust. Government Official in NJ Arrested for Drunk Driving

In the above dash-cam video, you can see the Mayor of Paulsboro, Jeff Hamilton, being arrested for drunk driving.

Lulu the dog says, “Stop Mispronouncing the Names of Japanese Cars.” Grrr…

Hi, my name is Lulu.   Yes, I am a dog.  Like my picture.  I may look like a dog but I know cars.  Pay attention and I’ll teach you a think or two.  My job is to protect you from making a mistake.

Whether it be a Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, or a Nissan Maxima, many Japanese cars have become synonymous with reliability, yet most  drivers are pronouncing their names entirely wrong! Luckily a YouTube channel devoted to Japanese car modifications (like the ones you’ve seen in the Fast and Furious franchise), clarified the issue. They made a useful video to help us Westerners get their names right. You can watch Mighty Car Mods video right here so you can help your friends and family get it right!

Lulu the dog says, “This New Electric BMW is good as Tesla.”

BMW is releasing two new electric vehicles this year: the BMW i3 and the BMW i8. And by the tone of early reviews, they may have a serious competitor for leading sustainable cars. The i8 is definitely out of range for most household budgets in New Jersey and the rest of the country, with a listing price of $135,925. The i3 however, is a much more accessible vehicle priced at $41,350 and is being reviewed as a potential Tesla Model S alternative. Whether or not this vehicle outsells Tesla, we all know that BMW delivers when it comes to expert craftsmanship, handling, and performance.

Take a look at this track test for the BMW i3, and stay on the lookout for potential discounts at NJ Car Coupons.

Take a look at our MPG gap report, comparing the ‘true’ mileage you’ll get with the following vehicles: the 2014 Honda Accord, the 2014 Mazda 6, and the 2014 Toyota Camry.

The 4 Best Small SUVs

analyzed reviews from the top automotive research websites, to help you find the best small SUV on the market.

In New Jersey, we have to deal with some pretty heavy winter snow on highways as well as dense local streets, which is why small SUVs are a great option to stay safe. Sure everyone would like a bulky Hummer H2 to conquer frozen terrain, but does anyone enjoy parallel parking that thing?

By analyzing the top small SUV reviews we’ve come to the conclusion that the 2014 Mazda CX-5, the 2014 Subaru Crosstrek, the 2014 Buick Encore, and the 2014 Jeep Patriot are the best choice for NJ residents looking for a reliable car this winter. We also made sure to include coupon savings from NJ Car Coupon to help you pay less when buying any of these cars at one of our partner NJ dealerships.
