The Toyota Corolla is one of the “best loved cars in America” according to Kelley Blue Book . It rates high on maintenance and resale value — and it gets decent gas mileage. The 2011 had just “minor cosmetic changes,” which means parts from prior year models can be used in the newer models, which makes the car very attractive to car thieves Roughly 800,000 to one million cars are stolen in America every single year. Many of the same models are on the list every year but it’s not just because they’re the most popular vehicles.
It’s primarily because they have parts that don’t change much from year to year – and most cars are stolen for the parts, not to drive around, explained Geoff Keah, a special investigator for assurance . So, thieves who steal a 1994 model, for example, could sell the parts to use in models for 1995, 1996, etc. 09 more images after the break...09. 2002 Ford Explorer

Trade-In Value*: $5,050

Pickup trucks like the Ram are stolen for valuable parts such as the wheels and tailgates, Keah said. Tailgates can often get mangled in an accident and the new ones are expensive to replace since they often have cameras for backing up in them. (A tailgate with a camera can set you back $1,000 to $1,500.) Plus, the older ones are easy to steal, he said.

Most of Singularity will be shot in Orchha, to depict 18th century India in the film. The remaining part will be shot in London. The film depicts two eras."
"I feel less Indian than them; I have never been to Orccha. If it wasn't for this film, I'd have missed one of the most beautiful spots in our country. But the foreign unit just blended in. They loved the place and the food. I soon fell in line. Now I feel I've been doing it all my life."

"I have observed how Russians, Africans and quite a few Europeans have actually made Goa as their home. They have their own lives and lifestyle. Quite a lot of hippie activities go around with these people.”
“Also, since they intermingle with each other a lot, it also results in babies with different nationalities. It isn't just the Indians now who are the locals there. I guess Goa is pretty much a global village."

Bipasha Basu Item Number Songs – She does not mind to do those
Bipasha Basu has always refrained from doing special dance numbers for films where she was not a part of the main cast, is now willing to perform an item number for a film where she is not the leading lady.
As per Latest Bipasha Basu Interviews, she said that, “Yes, maybe I need to give special songs and dance numbers a rethink.”
“My last few films have all been realistic, due to which I haven’t been a part of any quintessential song and dance numbers. I guess I may take an exception now and give my nod to a song if it is really exclusive to a film, and is cool and catchy,” she says.
She didn't star in the item song in Dum Maaro Dum, despite her playing the female lead in the film.
As per Latest Bollywood Interviews, she said that, "Deepika is a good dancer so she was a great choice for the song. Also, the remixed Dum Maaro Dum has a rap feel to it. It takes time to grow on you and I am not a rap fan so I don't think I missed much."
"Worldwide when someone thinks of Goa, he gets an impression of a heavenly place which is chilled out, relaxed and colorful with hippies, flowery dresses, beautiful bodies, beaches and sun. Of course that's true and we have shown all of that in our film as well. But no, this isn't all about Goa; there is more to that as well, something that we have brought on screen in Dum Maaro Dum.”
"This is an entirely wrong perception that you are carrying. There are parts of Goa which are owned by different personalities belonging to mixed races. In the film we have shown how Russians, Portuguese, Europeans and even Nigerians have been dominating the city. If you go to Goa and spend more than a fortnight there without looking at it as a tourist, you would realise it isn't entirely what it seems."
