10 Best Cars for Tuners
We rate these as the best tuner cars on the market
Volkswagen Golf
The Volkswagen Golf was the basis for the original hot-hatchback, the
GTI, so it’s no surprise it is a top pick for tuners. In the latest
Golf lineup, there are plenty of powertrains to choose from, and each
one has something to offer tuners.
The base model features a potent 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
that is ripe for milking a few extra ponies from. This base model will
also see dramatic improvements from upgrading its suspension. The TDI
and GTD models have torque by the bucket, making it a great candidate
for tuning. Then we have the GTI and Golf R models, both of which are
awesome without the aid of a tuner’s touch. Once tuners get a hold of
these two models, they easily crest 400 horsepower.
Nissan Z-car
The Nissan Z-car has roamed the streets of the U.S. since the
introduction of the 240Z for the 1970 model year. Sure, the early Z-cars
were not overly powerful, but they were easy to milk extra power from,
and their lightweight bodies made great platforms. Slowly, the Z got
more and more powerful, and has peaked with the 350 horsepower available
in today’s 370Z Nismo.
The best thing about modifying the Z-car is the fact that the tuning
market for these cars is massive, making it simple to find the part you
need at a fair price.
Chevrolet Camaro
Like the Mustang, the Camaro is another pony car that deserves a spot
on this list. Through the late 1990s and now in the 2010s, the Camaro
has again become a force to be reckoned with. The sixth-generation
Camaro, which is due out in the 2016 model year, is well suited to
deliver what tuners want. Not only is its 6.2-liter V-8 a great engine
to tinker with, but its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and
3.6-liter V-6 engines are perfect candidates for some modifications.
Toyota Supra
If there is one car that has dominated the minds of import-car
enthusiasts around the world and led tuning firms to create some of the
most insane projects, it is the Toyota Supra. What began as just a trim
level for the Toyota Celica eventually morphed into a cult icon that
peaked with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that pumped out 320 horsepower
and 315 pound-feet of torque.
This engine’s notorious ability to handle extra boost and horsepower
led to tuning companies all over the world offering countless go-faster
bits to satisfy Supra owners.

Shedding Some Light On The 'Convienence'
Meal Kits Make Dinnertime Easier, but Here’s the Cost of That Convenience
Earlier this month at the Food Safety Summit, a Rutgers professor presented research on 169 home meal kits and over 1,000 consumer interviews.
Of the 169 home meal kits, nearly 47% of the meats, seafood and poultry arrived at over 40 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning they were unsafe to consume.
Hot food hot, cold food cold. If you’ve ever worked in the restaurant industry, you know temperature control is a vital part of food safety.
According to Delish, “many of the animal products delivered were laden with pathogens.”
Gross. So gross.
Why is this happening?
The research revealed that part of the issue is the length of time between refrigeration and delivery. Products are often left outside for eight hours or more, which increases the chances of the food becoming hazardous.
Eating food that’s been stored at unsafe temperatures can result in foodborne illness from germs like listeria, E. coli and salmonella.

Go Figure
People give more thought to choosing their next Amazon purchase than to choosing their next relationship.
When it comes to romance, everyone is in such a hurry. You jump into a relationship with the first person who shows you interest. You commit to being exclusive before you’ve even gotten a chance to really know each other.
The right partner can help you grow to the best version of yourself. The wrong partner can bring out the worst in you.
The right partner can support you. The wrong partner can use you and leave you more isolated than when you were single.
The right partner can make every experience more beautiful and satisfying than you could imagine. The wrong partner can strip out any shred of happiness from any moment.
