General Colin Powell Drives A '66 Volvo

Everybody agree that Volvo is well-known as the safest and most comfortable cars in the world. A lot of important people use Volvo as their main vehicles. In many countries Volvo are uses for official car. Volvo created in many types, so that’s why we found a family with more than two children use Volvo wagon for their daily life.

If you find Volvo becomes a collector item is very reasonable. That’s why Colin Powell, former secretary of state under the current Bush Administration and four-star general, is apparently an avid automotive enthusiast who likes to tinker with old cars. In fact, during down-time in his former position as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Clinton days, one could find the general at Fort Myers working on vintage wheels. Mr. Powell's current vehicular pride is a rust-around-the-edges 1966 white Volvo 122S station wagon.

Mr. Powell’s pride and joy is a 1966 122S wagon, a car similar to the barely ambulatory wreck that Bill Clinton and Al Gore presented to him at a reception when he retired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 1993. “I tried to express my profound gratitude,” Mr. Powell said.

So, don’t sell your Volvo. Keep it and show your old Volvo to your grand children in the future. Have a nice day.

Find the Best New Car Sound Systems

Most car owner always loves to change their original audio system in their car. Some of them still keep the original CD/FM system, but they replace the speakers and add with new subwoofer.

There are a number of factory audio systems that have good sound but didn't quite make the grade to be considered among the best. These include a few sports cars with great audio gear. However, their cabins tend to be significantly noisier than the best luxury cars. This resulted in a downgrade of their total system. In addition, there are the myriad of Bose systems offered in many cars. As good as they are, we find that the Bose systems we've heard impart a sonic signature that seems to emphasize the bass and a bit of the treble - not unlike a loudness contour. Attempts to mitigate the signature with tone controls were not entirely successful for us.

Mobile audio has come a long way. Stereo imaging, long the domain of home audio, has become an important factor in car audio - particularly now with the advent of DVD-Audio in car systems. The best systems are capable of a solid, stable stereo image from the driver's position as well as the passenger's position.
If there's a weakness in mobile audio systems, it's in the spectral balance. Many car audio systems tend to overemphasize the bass and treble, because manufacturer thinks that's what impresses most consumers. In the long run, however, the 'boom-hiss' sound is tiring. The best sound systems present a neutral tonal balance (so long as you resist the temptation to crank up the bass and treble controls). Do you prefer more bass or treble?


Do you really need to add a DVD, so you can watch your favorite movie?

Before you replace or upgrade your car audio system, you should know what kind of car that you have. The most important about this matter is that you must understand what kind of music that you always love to hear when you drive your car on the busy roads.
There are a lot of brand in the market such as: Pioneer, Blaupunk, Bose, Sony, Kenwood, Clarion, etc. You can combine your audio system with different brand and type. It’s a good idea if you discus your idea with your friend who really understand about car and audio before you decide to buy a new system.

Have fun.
