At MB Motorsports, in addition to providing the Tinton Falls, New Jersey area with used cars, we also like to discuss automotive issues some serious, some more lighthearted. Today's post is a bit of a combination. It hammers home driver safety, but it also involves to amazing stories in the news cycle recently.

We'll start with the 'cuter' story. Portland Police spotted a driver going 52 in a 35 mile per hour zone…

The sun is finally shining and that means it's time to spruce up your plot of land with some flowers, or if you're a green thumb, fresh veggies to enjoy all summer long. Of course, to prepare for that, you have to get all the supplies. That means hauling them in your vehicle. It also means a potential mess. But, if you follow these tips from MB Motorsports you'll have a bountiful…

I know it's already the 13th but hey to some the 13th is a lucky number -- to other will we know the story -- especially if it falls on a Friday. Nevertheless, the MB Motorsports August 2011 newsletter is here.

Read about the coolest events happening in the garden state and did you know that August is National Family Fun Month, and what better way to end the summer than by spending some quality time with those close to your heart! Whether it's a fun day trip, hanging out at the Jersey Shore a family game night,spending time…

I'm not so sure MB Motorsports is actually celebrating the day by promoting junk food -- but I supposed if there is one day to eat some bad food and it is nationally recognized -- then let today be the day!

I would never call myself a health food fanatic or anything but I would much rather eat vegetables or fruit over junk food -- unless it's Herr's Salt and Vinegar chips then you will…

I would consider my wife and I pretty avid crabbers and it is one of our favorite things to do in the summer months at the Jersey Shore. If you have never tried crabbing, and I don't mean with traps, I mean dropline, bait and sinker then I highly recommend giving crabbing a try to all of the MB Motorsports fans in or visiting the Garden State.

If you have never crabbed before you…

I'm not sure how many readers remember but about a year ago I wrote on the MB Motorsports blog about the Terrafugia Transition -- which is said to be the world's first flying car.It is still pretty amazing to think you could be driving down the highway and roll right into the local airport, be cleared for departure and take-off to a distant destination.  One of the biggest issues for this flying vehicle was waiting for the final approval from the NHTSA . There are still many issue that the flying-car needs to fix which many should be address…

Recently after purchasing my pre-owned Honda Accord I realized that I have absolutely no brand loyalty whatsoever! Thinking back I have owned a Nissan, a Pontiac, a Mazda and now a Honda -- they only loyal trend that I see is I like foreign cars better than domestic but not a specific brand at all. I have read plenty of marketing reports talking about brand loyalty and I have also talked with people that would never…

Have you ever imagined lowering your car payment or perhaps having no payment at all -- well that though could become a reality if you meet some requirements of the ad agencies that pay you for space on your vehicle.  It's no joke that these companies actually exist and yes you need to research them before signing up and you should not have to pay into the service -- as that is what the client does…

From time to time customers are looking for buy here pay here car lots in NJ
-- now this is not something that MB Motorsports offers but for some this may be an unfamiliar term. Not until starting work with MB Motorsports here in Tinton Falls did I ever really understand what the term "Buy Here Pay Here" meant -- I honestly thought that was how all used car dealers worked -- you bought and you paid .. where else would you go.  Well -- that was not really the case so I figure I would shed some light on the term.


So What does…
