The growth of exotic car rentals in the United States is one of those curious artifacts of the recession.

The reasons for the growth in exotic car rentals are also rooted in the fact there are so many exotic car models from which to choose.

America's rich tradition of wine making began in earnest in the 1800's, when European immigrants brought their skills to various unsettled areas of the country. A few decades before California and other west coast wine producing states were settled, many eastern and midwestern states had thriving wine industries. In the 1830's, a group of German immigrants made their way to the Missouri river valley, west of St. Louis near the present town of Hermann, Missouri. These early settlers noted how the topography and climate of the river valley resembled their European home areas of Germany and Switzerland. In particular, various grape varieties were growing wild on hillsides surrounding[..]

Cotton, ham, and seafood are also popular exports, as is wine.

As I grew up I stayed an Indy car fan for a long time but then as if over night front engine roadsters were gone and so was the sound of the Offenhouser.

Although there is a lot of buzz out there regarding internationally produced autos, in my opinion, they merely don't have the comparable feeling as classic American autos. Yes, there are a good lot of foreign autos that can go fast, and last longer than some American cars, but none of them have the elegance and looks of a Mustang or a Camaro. These American muscle cars are the things that the fantasies of many were shaped by, with their acceleration, their horsepower, their luxuriousness, and their hot styling.

While it can be profitable to ride the investment while a bubble is forming, it is important to recognize when an investment is in a bubble, and to get out before the bubble bursts. Doing that is, of course, easier said than done. One of the earliest bubbles was the famous tulip bulb mania in Holland that ended in 1637. It seems very silly looking back that seemingly rational people would pay more than ten times an average annual salary for a single tulip bulb. That bubble burst, as it obviously had to, and prices came back down to earth. Many people were financially devastated in[..]

e past few centuries, winemakers in California have mainly looked upon the Barbera Grape to provide Americans with a good quality Italian-styled Californian wine. Unfortunately for the winemakers, the American consumers never really took to it. Not until the rush to terroir movement in the 80s did the vineyard owners begin to seriously explore more suitable sites for these grapes. More agreeable sites were found in the Central Coast regions and the Sierra Foothills. But the wines, though they had improved considerably, were still unable to attract more consumers. In the early 90s, the Cal-Ital wines took a new turn. Firstly, the winemakers and representatives of the wine industry[..]
