Avoid Buying Flood Damaged Cars...Trouble

By Hiram Reisner

The violent storms that have inundated the country's heartland this spring and summer have caused considerable damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure -- and some deaths. Casualties also include many cars and trucks, which pose a threat to unsuspecting buyers down the road when, inevitably, a share of them re-enter the market with cosmetic fixes covering the damage.

Business vs. First Class

If you’re wondering about the difference between first and business class, the answer is that it depends on the airline, the specific aircraft and the route. For some airlines, there is no difference. For others, first class is a step above business class. Especially on international flights, first class customers often don’t have a person sitting next to them, they have better service, higher quality food and d…
