If you own a Corvette ZR-1, you might.  That beauty in the pic to the right has some REALLY pricey options, as you might well imagine.  After all, it’s a Corvette. But man, when you see some of these prices your mind will be quite literally blown.

This is why I’m going to show them to you right now.

You’re welcome.

A$12,870 roadside assistance package. Here’s what this package actually includes: “a convenient tire pressure gauge, fuse kit, multi-bit screwdriver, flashlight, pliers, rain poncho and more.”  For thirteen grand.  Unless that “and more”  is “we air-drop a new car on your current GPS location”, this couldn’t be much more ridiculous.

A $4,187 first-aid kit. That thing had better come with its own on-call surgical team.  You don’t pay four grand for one night’s stay in a HOSPITAL.

Here is something that consumers will find handy. With the “Cash for Clunker” program taking center stage, one thing in people’s minds is on whether to avail of it or not. Edmunds.com announces its own version of calculating the feasibility of the said program, something that can ultimately aid them in deciding on availing or passing based on their budget and evaluation.

We have seen a lot of these calculators and tutorials to get to know the Cash for Clunkers program better. However, it seems that Edmunds.com’s version offers something broader as you can actually see potential vehicles before limiting yourself to one car make. Their version returns a comprehensive list of eligible trade-in vehicles, suggested replacement vehicles and answers to frequently asked questions which should make decision-making quite easier.

To date, a lot of people are still groping for form on whether to avail of this program or not. With this new calculator, you can pretty much sum up and compare if it is indeed worth availing or not. But one thing that is for sure, you have to decide fast since you car options may start to dwindle should other motorists decide to avail of the car rebate program.
