Before you purchase any vehicle, it is important to know that you have enough money for the vehicle. It is also important to know whether you should go for a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder SUV. Take a good look at the issue of fuel, power and design when purchasing car. These are the issues that will make or break your successful search for a vehicle. If you can carefully consider these issues well, you can be able to have the best car at the end of the day.

A 4 cylinder engine is designed with 4 pistons. Smaller cars like the Toyota Tacoma do have such an engine. The Toyota Tacoma is basically a 1995-2004 model compact pickup truck. The vehicle also has a 2.7L and 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. The 6 cylinder engine on the other hand has got 6 pistons.

A good number of passenger cars do have these engines too for instance the small trucks as well as the vans. The GMC truck v6 engine is one such example. It was originally produced between 1960 and 1978 within the Chevrolet 250 cid inline 6.

On the surface, it should seem like if there are more pistons, then there is more power. The V6 engine comes in the place of the inline 6 because the V6 is a little compact and has greater performance. Therefore if you are in search of a high power engine then you should think about this one. It is also quite suitable for those hoping to save fuel.

If you’ve never played Angry Birds, you should. An online game or more popularly an app for new handheld devices that is as entertaining as it is addictive. The history of Angry Birds is not important to most of us. How to get it and how to conquer it is. Wildly popular with somewhere around 50 million downloads the game stars of course birds angry that pigs stole their eggs. The pigs hide in different structures as the birds slingshot themselves at the pigs trying to destroy the structure and the pigs in it. Destroying the structures and pigs earns points and awards the next level of play.

I can’t remember how many levels there are but there’s a lot. So what happens if you actually ever conquer all levels? OK here it is, so this Sunday during the 4th quarter of the other game (football) the publisher will reveal in an Angry Birds ad an access code that allows the player to go further into the game by unlocking a bonus level. So while the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers go at it for the Super Bowl 2011 Vince Lombardi trophy millions of people will be anxiously waiting for…..the Angry Birds. Another stroke of genius for the NFL. Heck I’m anxious just to see the commercial. I don’t think I’ll ever get to the point that I’d need the code. I like the game (and Super Sunday). It’s fun when you’re bored, but I’m rarely bored. I try to avoid it.

Tempted on skipping your travel insurance this year? Think again! With cheap holiday insurance widely available online and typically adding only a few pounds to the cost of your trip, there’s really no excuse not to buy it. If you’re still not sure, here are six stories that might help to change your mind – sometimes fate conspires against you in a particularly nasty way…

Look Out Below!

Here’s a story to make your skin crawl! A traveller in South Mexico had the misfortune to be the victim of a fly that lays its eggs in living flesh. The eggs hatched into four worms beneath the skin – three of them were removed easily by a doctor, but the last one was proving more problematic. The inventive doctor suggested leaving a piece of meat on the leg next to the wound – sure enough, six hours later the worm had been tempted half way out and could be removed entirely. Medical costs that are claimed on travel insurance usually aren’t as grisly as this!

Scorpion Stowaway

Despite the rigorous security at airports nowadays, occasionally something slips through. A penknife forgotten at the bottom of the bag, a tube of toothpaste that is over the regulation limits for liquids…or even a scorpion hiding in your backpack! On a flight from Miami to Toronto a tiny stowaway crawled out of someone’s backpack and stung another traveller. One can only hope that the unlucky traveller had holiday insurance to cover their medical bills and the likely delay to their flight!
