A Ford Mustang fan is extremely angry with the Ford motor company for misrepresenting how many vehicles they would produce of a limited edition Mustang Model, in this case a 2007 Roush Stage 3 Blackjack.
So much so that he has filed a law suit in downtown New York aka Manhattan alleging that the Michigan auto maker and Roush advertised that only 100 of such cars would be produced when they were put on sale in 2007. But come 2008, and they produced another set of 100 cars for sale in that year.
Hours and hours of a Sunday afternoon, better part of a Saturday evening after work or even holidays, spent frantically looking for that perfect book. One that will feel right the moment you hold it in your hands. You read the first page and then are filled with this overwhelming desire to read on and never stop till you have devoured the book. Till you have assimilated every fine detail, every intricate sentence, you feel restless and unsatiated. The Last Song of Dusk, by Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, is one such book. It makes all those hours spent hunting for a novel worthwhile.
In the sprawling backdrop of Udaipur and Bombay in colonial India, Shanghavi unravels a book so riveting that you cannot help but read on. The narrative transports the reader to the 1920’s to live and experienc the joy, grief, love, loss, separation, of Anuradha and Vardhaman Gandharva.

With gas prices going sky high and eating into your financial planning, many of you would have given car pooling a serious thought but various factors would have held you back.
In my opinion, most important could have been, how do I find people going in the same direction as me! Advertising on Craigslist may or may not get the job done since its a generic classifieds not really focused on car pooling.
