The advantages of electric vehicles have been pointed out by almost everyone: news, magazines, influencers on social media and even us regular consumers. Given the current situation of global warming, it makes sense that the general media and governments are pushing electric cars as they have lower carbon footprints. As for us consumers, we are attracted and interested in anything new and fancy (especially with the push of social media, look at Tesla’s Cybertruck hype) but electric cars mainly gained more traction due to its main advantage: IT DOES NOT NEED GAS. Every big name went with their own Electric vehicles (EV): Porsche Taycan, Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Electric, Chevrolet Volt and a new big player: Rivian (which is a brand new brand introducing electric pickup trucks). They are all taking advantage of the trend (which is a good one, fight climate change!) but since the inconveniencies of electric cars...

BMW is familiar to all of us, car enthusiast or not, since it is one of the top car manufacturer in the world. As far as I (and I am sure most of us) can remember, the car manufacturer only had one logo: the classic roundel. That consistency is the reason why it stuck with us and became such a classic design. That classic logo that we became so familiar with was not even their first logo (in fact it was their fifth), but it kept most of the original design and was the official logo of the brand for nearly 23 years. With the new decade starting, BMW decided to have a cleaner start (see what I did there?). However, before diving into what made them redesign the roundel, let’s take a glimpse into the origin of the logo and its meaning for a more comprehensive understanding.   Origin...

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) of the United States, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation accounts for 29 percent of the total greenhouse emission in the United States, making it the largest contributor. From 1990 until now, the numbers have been rising consistently. Personal cars are the biggest culprit and despite all the efforts that the government is doing, the result will never be as impactful as if the drivers took matters into their  own hands. It is easy to ignore it or just argument that it is too big of a problem for an individual to solve. However, there are easy ways that all of us can do to alleviate our driving impact on the environment. Here at NINTE, we had a discussion about it and curated a list of the easiest things to do to reduce the amount of carbon footprint left by our vehicles.   Going...

          We, as human, tend to be individualistic. We are always seeking ways to differentiate from one another. We tend to not buy the same clothes that our siblings already own. Even if we end up buying very popular items, we tend to look for ways to make our own stand out. For instance, Apple’s iPhone is a very popular smartphone; millions of people own it but owners try to differentiate themselves by putting a phone case on it to show their individuality, their personality. As we often do at NINTE, we had a brainstorming about it and reached a conclusion that it also extends to cars. We tend to buy cars that suit our personality and if the car in itself is of neutral genre, we tend to rely on simple customization to make it feel like “our own”. We curated a list of car...

The 2020s is shaping up to be a Roaring Twenties for the financial market after banks underperformed for more than a dozen years, the Wells Fargo senior banking analyst said in a note Monday. The Roaring Twenties refers to the 10-year period of economic prosperity and cultural advances, particularly in the United States, nearly a century ago. Customers accusing Wells Fargo and National General Insurance of tacking on unnecessary auto insurance to boost car loan bills are requesting approval of a $393.5 million settlement. Negotiations with the companies began in May 2018, and last Thursday the plaintiffs submitted their motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement. Wells Fargo already paid $1 billion to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in April 2018. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions. Wells Fargo agreed to...
