The good news is, when it comes to individuals who love their cars, it’s not too difficult to find a few gifts that they’re sure to love. The team at Garage Interiors Inc., here in Wisconsin, knows a thing or two about what car enthusiasts love. That is why, in today’s blog post, we are going to talk about a few gifts that you can take into consideration while shopping this holiday season.
Cleaning Supplies and Products
Maintaining the interior and exterior of a car is something that all car enthusiasts will do. Whether it’s an older model or it’s simply a car that they love, you can’t go wrong with cleaning products and supplies. These are things that they’re going to use or that would make maintaining their car just a tiny bit easier. From products that make getting tough to clean things like bird poop and tree sap of the exterior of the car easier out to supplies that yield streak-free windows, there are countless options, and they’re sure to love receiving every one of them!
As we just finished mentioning, the exterior of the car is something that takes some time to maintain. If the car enthusiast that you’re shopping for is particularly fond of older models, chances are that they’re not driving them all that much. In these instances, having something to protect the exterior of the car is a great idea. A cloth car cover is an affordable gift that they’re sure to love and frequently use.
The appearance of the car, both interior and exterior, is something that car enthusiasts are always working to maintain. Even so, it can be tough to get into some of those hard-to-reach spots. In these instances, a car detailing package is the perfect gift to give. Let a professional spend some time cleaning both the interior and exterior of the car so it looks spick-and-span!
Tools & Toolbox
Another great idea for car enthusiasts is a tool box or tools that they can use when working on their car. There are so many different tools available for them to use while tinkering on a car, it can be tough to keep them organized. Finding a nice toolbox for them to store all of these tools in is a gift that they will not only love, but use! If they already have a toolbox, finding a tool that they don’t already have or an accessory that makes working on cars just a little bit easier is an option you could take advantage of.
Fun Gadgets and Accessories
There are so many different gadgets that have surfaced in the last couple of years, you’d be surprised what you can find when shopping! In regards to cars, there are fun items for just about everyone and for countless circumstances. Here in Wisconsin, for example, snow is something that everyone is going to have to deal with. There are now a handful of products that are designed to make cleaning snow off the windshield just a little bit easier. There are also phone mounts, electric blankets, and so much more that you’d be surprised to find exist. These unique items make for great gifts, and they’re also something that your loved one is sure to use.
Garage Organization Solutions
When you have a car that you love, you can guarantee it’s going in the garage at the end of the day. Unfortunately, most of us get a little carried away with the amount of junk and stuff that we store in our garages. With this build up of “stuff” in the garage, the chances of something falling on the car, scratching it, or denting it are pretty high. Aside from that, you don’t always have tons of room to work on the car when you’ve got junk everywhere. If this sounds like the garage of the car enthusiast that you’re shopping for, consider purchasing a garage organization solution for them. Garage Interiors has a wide variety of storage solutions that you can choose from. Whether they’d benefit from cabinets that help clean up the space or they’re in need of a workbench to tinker on projects, we’ve got you covered! The best part is, any of these solutions is something that your loved one will appreciate and adore.
Shop Garage Interiors
There are so many fantastic ways that you can splurge on your loved one this holiday season, and Garage Interiors hopes to be a part of the plan. Whether it’s garage storage or a garage flooring solution, you can count on us to provide you with all of the information that you need to find the right storage option.

http://wiki.nfsunlimited.net/index.php?title=Need_for_Speed_III_Hot_Pursuit&oldid=1960 | 2020-02-18T06:50:36 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143635.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200218055414-20200218085414-00099.warc.gz | 0.925132 | 1,544 | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-10__0__108623247 | en | Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit
1. Quick Facts
Developer: Electronic Arts Canada
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release date: some day on some month of the year 1998
Platforms: PlayStation, PC
In this 3rd version of the Need For Speed franchise you will hit the streets in more then a dozen of supercars and race them on a variety of tracks and the returning of police pursuits is a major part of gameplay. Hot Pursuit remains focused in racing using exotic sports cars, but features races that primarily take place in locations within North America, including varied settings and climates. In addition, police AI is significantly improved over its predecessor, utilizing several tactics to stop both the player and opponent.
There's an all-new Hot Pursuit mode wherein you scorch the streets on either side of the law: elude the fuzz as a speeding motorist or enforce justice from a police patrol vehicle. You also can download more cars and tracks from the Need for Speed III Web site. This game supports hardware acceleration, but you can play it software-rendered too. In the demo version, you race against the other cars (no Hot Pursuit mode).
There are a few great different kinds of gameplay. You have the choice of playing it in Single Player mode, Career play and over the internet. In Single Player mode you can only play the levels that you have already opened while playing your Career mode. There is no damage or anything that can effect your car which is nice to practise with. In Career Mode you can pay money to enter tournaments and earn money depending on the amount of skill you have and how well you placed compared to the other racers. Trophies are won as well. On the internet (the game supports one or two players with a modem or serial connection) you can find new cars that are not shipped with the original game and you can also play people who you have never met who have more skills than the computer most of the time. It is also possible to play over LAN (up to eight players ).
I think I can best describe Need for Speed III as something that looks like a top-of-the-line sports car, but drives like an average US sedan – vague, imprecise and without driver feedback. But, that kind of car seems to please millions of drivers who want something that gets the job done with little fuss and excitement, and if you're one of those, then NFS III: Hot Pursuit will deliver what you desire. But if it's sophisticated, realistic sports car thrills and spills you're after, you'll probably be left wanting.
2. Modes (four different modes)
Single Race: is just that – a one-off race against a variety of computer opponents.
Hot Pursuit: is where the player races another driver around a cop-infested track with a simple mandate: cross the finish line with no tickets. This is definitely great fun, and is enhanced with a "scanner" that picks up police radio chatter and lets you know what the "good" guys are up to so you can take avoiding action if need be. The police AI is pretty good, and they try to bump you off the road and even set up roadblocks in an attempt to catch you. And if they do that more than three times, it's off to virtual jail you go.
Knockout: is a straightforward race where the driver who finishes last is eliminated. Eight drivers start the tournament – only one can win it.
Tournament: is an eight-round championship in which drivers compete for points. The better the finishing position, the more points scored – and the driver who has scored highest by the end of the final round wins. Driver AI is very good on this and all races, and provides a good challenge to even the most hardcore of racing fans.
3. Cars Like previous NFS games, there is a stable of highly desirable cars and these cars are categorized into three classes, essentially giving the player three different categories of racing. All cars are divided into classes "A", "B" and "C", based on vehicle performance. The list of cars included in Need for Speed III consists of luxury sports cars, ranging from street-legal models to racing models. While Ferrari and Mercedes models are included in game, it is interesting to note they are not available in police pursuit modes. It should also be noted that varied versions of Hot Pursuit feature different sets of cars. Official cars featured in the game include the following:
Aston Martin DB7 (PC version only)
Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
El Niño (bonus car)
Ferrari 355 F1 Spider
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Ferrari 456M GT
Ford GT Falcon (PC, Australian version only)
Italdesign Nazca C2 (PS version only)
Italdesign Scighera (PC version only)
HSV VT GTS (PC, Australian version only)
Jaguar Sports XJR-15 (bonus car)

'98 Indy 500 Pace Car (Based on a Chevrolet Corvette C5) (PC, Wal-Mart version only)
Pursuit Chevorlet Corvette
Pursuit Lamborghini Diablo SV (bonus car)
Pursuit El Niño (bonus car)
There are eight different tracks to race the cars on, with bonus tracks available for players with the skills to unlock them. All tracks are circuits.

https://www.protaxplus.co.uk/post/tax-free-mileage-allowances | 2024-02-21T17:10:54 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473524.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221170215-20240221200215-00640.warc.gz | 0.965932 | 573 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__204040293 | en | Employees often use their own cars for work, usually claiming expenses in the form of a mileage allowance to cover the costs. While it is up to the employer to decide how much to pay by way of mileage allowances, and indeed whether to pay a mileage allowance, it is the taxman who decides what can be paid tax-free.
The approved mileage allowance payments (AMAPs) system allows employers to make tax-free mileage payments to employees up to the `approved amount’. This is found by multiplying the business mileage for the year by the rate per mile for the vehicle in question. Approved rates are set not only for cars but for vans, motorcycles, and bicycles too.
The approved rates are currently as follows:
For tax purposes, the rate for cars and vans drops from 45p per mile to 25p per mile once the employee has been paid for 10,000 business miles in the tax year. For National Insurance, the rules are different – the 45p rate can be paid NIC-free regardless of how many business miles the employee undertakes in the tax year.
Ray is an employee. He uses his own car for business and in the 2017/18 tax year undertakes 14,755 miles in his own car.
Under the AMAPs system, the tax-free `approved’ amount is £5,688.75 ((10,000 miles @ 45p) + (4,755 miles @ 25p)).
Paying mileage allowances at the taxman’s approved rates is the simplest option from a tax perspective – there are no tax consequences and the payments can be ignored by the employer and the employee.
If the mileage payments made by the employer exceed the approved amount, the excess (the `taxable mileage profit’) is taxable and must be notified to HMRC on the employee’s P11D (in section E), unless the employer has opted to payroll the mileage profit. So, if in the above example, Ray was paid 50p per mile, he would receive a mileage payment of £7,377.50 - £1,688.75 more than the approved amount. He would be taxed on the `profit’ of £1,688.75.
Where the allowances paid by the employer are below the approved amount, or if the employer does not make mileage payments, the employee can claim tax relief for the difference between the amount actually received (if any) and the approved amount. The relief can be claimed either on the employee’s tax return or on form P87.
Employees can also be paid a tax-free passenger payment of 5p per passenger per mile for each fellow employee to whom they give a lift, as long as the journey is a business journey for the driver and passengers alike. | automotive |

http://ens-newswire.com/2015/06/20/u-s-heavy-trucks-must-burn-less-fuel-cut-co2-emissions/ | 2017-04-23T17:48:22 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917118740.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031158-00525-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.948302 | 1,308 | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-17__0__166465834 | en | WASHINGTON, DC, June 20, 2015 (ENS) – The Obama Administration is proposing standards for heavy and medium-duty trucks and buses that are expected to improve fuel efficiency by one-third and cut carbon emissions to fight climate change, while fortifying U.S. energy security and inspiring innovative technologies.
The standards proposed Friday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, would cover model years 2021-2027, and apply to semi-trucks, large pickup trucks and vans, and all types and sizes of buses and work trucks.
“Once upon a time, to be pro-environment you had to be anti-big-vehicles. This rule will change that,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “In fact, these efficiency standards are good for the environment – and the economy. When trucks use less fuel, shipping costs go down. It’s good news all around, especially for anyone with an online shopping habit.”
The product of three years of extensive testing and research, the proposed vehicle and engine performance standards are expected to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by roughly one billion metric tons.
They are projected to cut fuel costs by a total of about US$170 billion, and reduce oil consumption by up to 1.8 billion barrels over the lifetime of the vehicles sold under the seven year program.
These reductions are nearly equal to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy use by all U.S. residences in one year.
The total oil savings under the program would be greater than a year’s worth of U.S. imports from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, each year.
The proposed standards are cost effective for consumers and businesses, delivering short payback periods for truck owners. The buyer of a new long-haul truck in 2027 would recoup the investment in fuel-efficient technology in less than two years through fuel savings.
“We’re delivering big time on President Obama’s call to cut carbon pollution,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “With emission reductions weighing in at one billion tons, this proposal will save consumers, businesses and truck owners money; and at the same time spur technology innovation and job growth, while protecting Americans’ health and our environment over the long haul.”
Officials say come current technologies that would help meet the new standards include improved transmissions, engine combustion optimization, aerodynamic improvements and low rolling resistance tires.
The proposed standards are designed to be flexible, allowing banking and trading emissions credits for most manufacturers, and providing the opportunity for businesses to choose the most cost-effective path to meeting the standards.
Air pollution control agencies welcome the proposal, says Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, NACAA, which represents air agencies in 41 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. territories and 116 localities. “These reductions will benefit, literally, every community across the nation,” he said.
“Its benefits are substantial, outweighing costs 10 to one. The rule will reduce GHG emissions by one billion tons and could yield deep cuts in other air pollutants, such as smog-forming emissions, fine particles and air toxics, all of which cause serious health problems and premature death,” said Becker.
“The beauty of the proposal is that the cost of the necessary improvements, which are generally off-the-shelf technologies, will be paid for by the savings associated with the increased fuel efficiency – about one-third better than today – in a matter of a couple of years,” he said.
Bob Perciasepe, now president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, served as EPA deputy administrator from 2010-2014. He said, “Transportation is second only to electricity as a source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why it’s important to keep improving the fuel economy and reducing the harmful emissions of America’s cars and trucks.”
Trucking industry leaders offered support for this second round of greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency rules for commercial trucks, but expressed concern that the requirements may result in the use of certain technologies on vehicles before they can be fully tested.
ATA Vice President and Energy and Environmental Counsel Glen Kedzie said, “We believe this rule could result in the deployment of certain technologies that do not fully recognize the diversity of our industry and could prove to be unreliable. This unreliability could slow not only adoption of these technologies, but the environmental benefits they aim to create.”
“To prevent this, truck and engine manufacturers will need adequate time to develop solutions to meet these new standards,” he said.
The new proposal builds on fuel efficiency and emissions standards already in place for model years 2014-2018, which will result in emissions reductions of 270 million metric tons and save vehicle owners more than $50 billion in fuel costs.
These standards have been successful, says the EPA, pointing to higher truck sales in model years 2014 and 2015 due in part to improved fuel efficiency.
For the first time, the agencies are proposing efficiency and carbon emissions standards for trailers, not including mobile homes. The EPA trailer standards would begin to take effect in model year 2018 for some trailers, while NHTSA’s standards would be in effect as of 2021, with credits available for voluntary participation before then.
Technologies for trailers, such as aerodynamic devices, lightweight construction and self-inflating tires, can reduce total fuel consumption by tractor-trailers, while allowing owners to recover their costs in less than two years through fuel savings, the agencies estimate.
Medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles now account for about 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and oil use in the U.S. transportation sector, although they only account for about five percent of vehicles on the road.
Globally, oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from heavy duty vehicles are expected to surpass those of passenger vehicles by 2030.
Through the G-20 and discussions with other countries, the United States is working with other major economies to encourage progress on fuel economy standards in other countries to improve global energy and climate security by reducing reliance on oil. | automotive |

"Hi Charlie, Sincere thanks to you & your Team for the professional, courteous & hassle free manner with which my purchase was concluded. My new Jag is excellent. The Collection offers a first class service & is a genuine pleasure to deal with, carry on the excellent work!" Best regards Wayne
"Charlie it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and your company, so happy with my aston martin vanquish, and i would not be afraid to recommend you to anyone I come across, 5 star service. Thanks." TW
“Hi Charlie. Just to say thank you for a stress free purchase. I would normally buy from a main dealer so good to meet a dealer who does what he said he would. Thanks again.” Roger -
"Thanks again for all your help in buying the Alfa Quadrifoglio -
"A new experience for myself buying a car online without seeing it due to current government guidelines and travel restrictions. What can I say other than a truly professional service with a very personal feel buying from the Collection. Charlie was only a call or message away at all times to answer any questions or provide me with photo’s/videos of the vehicle. Car arrived via transporter in immaculate condition. Highly recommend!" Liam.
"Sincere thanks to you & your Team for the professional, courteous & hassle free manner with which my purchase was concluded. My new Jag is excellent. The Collection offers a first class service & is a genuine pleasure to deal with, carry on the excellent work!" WM
"After over 30 years in Sales I know through experience how important it is to have openness and trust between customer and supplier. When I bought my 2013 Range Rover Autobiography (Rosie) in March 2020 I had already test driven a number of them so in a sense the car Charlie had for sale was just one of many. Whilst Rosie ticked all of the boxes the key differentiator for me and the reason I chose to buy from Charlie was the fact that he and his team came over as being genuine and demonstrated good all round knowledge of Range Rovers which built confidence and trust in The Collection. The point being that whilst I bought Rosie (a lump of metal as my wife often states) I also bought into the belief that Charlie and his team would see me right should problems occur in the future (Rosie is a Range Rover for heaven sakes). Eight months on from buying Rosie this belief has been proven to be sound given the fact that we have worked through a number of issues in good heart and Charlie and his team have always gone the extra mile (no pun intended) to deliver the highest quality warranty, customer service and satisfaction. I would buy again from Charlie without hesitation and recommend The Collection to anybody who was in the market for a prestige car." Neil from the town of roundabouts Milton Keynes.
"Everyone is doom and gloom during lockdown, but Charlie at The Collection managed to source me a lovely low mileage Macan. He collected it, got it tidied and cleaned and delivered it to my door in just a few days! An excellent service, thanks. We’ll use you again!" NA
“Charlie has a fabulous collection of high end vehicles, all immaculately maintained, unique and fairly priced. The whole experience in purchasing my Aston Martin was first class, from the extensive test drive (rather than your usual 10 minute run around the block) to the honest information around servicing costs and common faults. Special mention must go to the effort these guys put into prepping their vehicles, with nothing leaving the premises in anything other than exemplary condition. As case in point, my car was not only fully valeted, but developed a small fault right before I took delivery; the team worked flat out to rectify this so I could get the car in time for the weekend. I have already recommended The Collection to a friend of mine and no doubt I’ll be back myself in the future; thank you Charlie and the team.” Tom M
"I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with my new Jaguar. I thought your garage was pristine and well laid out, all your cars were interesting propositions, rare and immaculate, the quality of each was exceptional and it was obvious to me you try hard to source well looked after, even cherished cars, some of which are many years old and in mint condition. Mine in particular was a fair price and in unbelievable condition, it gets comments everywhere I go.The whole buying experience was effortless and you and your staff were friendly and helpful. The only way to improve the experience would be to expand your operation further so more people can choose you for their next interesting luxury vehicle.I know I was at the low end of the scale buying a 14 year old Jag XJ but the whole setup and experience was five stars. Simply superb." Toby
"Dear Charlie. This is a quick note to say buying my car from you at The Colection was a pleasurable experience -
“Hi Charlie, just wanted to say how very pleased we are with the Range Rover HSE Sport we purchased yesterday. It looked great from the pictures and write-
“Hi Charlie. Thank you so much for finding my dream car for me! I know I was a difficult customer -
“Hi Charlie. Thanks for your help in supplying the Mercedes SL500 in such fantastic condition. It's rare that you get a car that's even better than described. It's always a worry when travelling such a distance (over 300 miles) to purchase a car, I need not have worried though as the car is truly in great condition. Very easy and pleasurable experience. Would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.” Bill
“I felt I compelled to write a review for “The Collection” after the quality of service I received while purchasing a Scirocco R in excellent condition. The honesty and support from Charlie was unlike anything else I have experienced in the industry -
Collection of the car was incomparable to any other dealership thanks to the full professional valet the car received and the exclusiveness of the imposing location it was parked at. The product of the two being an extraordinary experience I won’t be forgetting.
Overall, 3 months on, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and with “The Collection” for the continued support over this amount of time.” C K, Scirocco R
“Never having owned an Aston Martin before I found the prospect of buying from a franchised AM dealer rather daunting. By contrast I found my dealings with Chris and Charlie to be very much less taxing. Charlie dealt promptly with my queries and is clearly well used to dealing with the more fastidious car buyer. The car was beautifully prepared and the few minor niggles spotted at the dealer inspection were all rectified before delivery. I would have no hesitation recommending the Collection. A most enjoyable buying experience.” Andrew B. Somerset.
“Home safe and sound and delighted with the GTC. All went smoothly with the change over with John your driver at Preston and he was very helpful. I also just wanted to say thanks for the professional manner in which you handled the sale of your Bentley and dealt with the trade in on my car. It's always a risk buying something 'blind' but as I was in Scotland it was really the only way I could manage it time wise and in the end the car is exactly as you described and I am delighted with it and thoroughly enjoyed the drive home! Hope to be in touch next time I am looking to change.” All the best. Mark
“Many thanks for today. I am delighted with the evoque. I really appreciate the way you conduct your business. I will reward you with all my future loyalty whenever I require my cars from now on.” Regards David
"Hi Charlie, just a quick email to say how pleased I am with the range rover. I must say buying from you was a pleasure, straight forward and hassle free, great job." Regards Bob
"Hi Richard – I just wanted to say thanks very much for making my car swap such a straight forward and enjoyable process. And for showing me how to work the RR’s many features and especially for syncing my phone (which works brilliantly). I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone considering changing their car similarly. Good luck with moving my Porsche onto a more grateful owner." Kind regards Hilary
“Would happily recommend Charlie and his team. Helped me to buy my dream Aston at a very fair price. Being an Aston there has been a few technical hitches that Charlie has dealt with quickly and helpfully. Loving the car!" Best wishes. Gary.
“I would throughly recommend buying a car from The Collection They have a great selection of seriously high quality cars and their customer services is direct class. Their pricing is very fair and I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again." Richard Z.
“Dear Charles Just wanted to thank you very much. I am so pleased with the Bentley Arnage T You sold me last week It truly is a beautiful car Drives fantastic A pleasure dealing with you Hope to deal again in near future.Thanks again.” Trevor

“Great people to deal with, very pleased with the deal, smooth transaction and excellent communications. No quibbles over a couple of post-
“Hi Charlie, just a note to say how happy and pleased I am with the car I bought from you. Buying a car without seeing it from 200 miles away was a little daunting but it appeared exactly as you described it, Superb! Also could you thank the driver who was polite and courteous, (he also loved my car). I will not hesitate to call you for my next set of wheels and have recommended you to my friends and family. My thanks again to you and your team at The Collection.” KL
“Hi Charlie. Another happy customer! Drive home was a pleasure. Thanks for a clean, honest and effective deal.” R

The owner has more than made up for any problems I was having. It is refreshing to find someone who takes responsibility for any work done on a car.
Great service at a great price (Canadian Tire wanted four times the price to resolve the same issue).
Absolutely amazing shop! Could not ask for better customer service! Fair and honest. Would recommend!
I was referred by my best buddy about 8 years ago who always raved about their professionalism and friendly service. Mark and his team have kept all my cars "running like tops" through the years. They specialize in imported vehicles and are very fair and honest in their quotes and workmanship. I have referred many others and will continue to do so in the years ahead! They exceed my expectations of any car repair shop!! Keep up the FANTASTIC work!! Cheers!
Best mechanics in Oakville. Been taking my car there for the past few years and could not recommend them enough. Fair prices and great service.
Best shop and best people....have been going there for years and have recommended them to all of my friends....no one has ever been disappointed...rave reviews every time....Jason and Judy are a treat to do business with.....
If I could give 6 stars I would! Their customer service is the best I've seen in a long time. A friend recommended OAC to me after hearing about the issues I had with my Jeep and that another shop couldn't figure out what the problem was. I brought it to OAC and the guys diagnosed the issue right away. There were some issues with a part that was installed by another shop and OAC went above and beyond to get my Jeep on the road again! Thank you!!
Great service without dealership markups
Their knowledge and honesty in maintaining my car is what keeps me
coming back to them.. I've been a client for more that 10 years.
I now have moved away from Oakville to the Vaughan area but I will drive the distance for all their automotive sevice..
Thankyou Jason & Mark !!
I mixed up my appointment(booked at a completely different shop by accident) and they managed to fit me in right on the spot. 2 machanics jumped on board to get me in and out!
Couldn't ask for a better mechanic. Mark is phenomenal. He always gives you options that fit what you need and his service times are awesome. All my vehicles go to OAC and I'm happy to have them as my mechanics.
They were recommended to me by family and I am now recommending them to family. If you want honest work at a fair price then Mark is your guy.
I've been going to OAC for almost 20 years after being referred. Not only is their work outstanding, but OAC is also an exception to the (sadly) general rule regarding the industry, as they are honest to the max.
I would refer anyone to Jay and Mark at OAC!
My only negative comment is as more and more people are recognizing OAC's stellar work, it's sometimes getting harder to book in next day.
But a great job is always worth the wait!
I've been bringing all of my cars to this team for years. their service is top notch! They take the time to learn my vehicle history, Never try to upset to unnecessary services. The Techs in the back are willing to show you the problem before work is executed. I can't say enough about these guys. Judy - in the front is a compassionate individual who always remembers you as a person - rather than just a customer. I trust nobody else with my modified Escalade.
You won't be disappointed!
Mark, Jason, and rest of OAC are the only ones
who I trust completely to work on my car. I send all my family and friends to them.
Good service. Small business. These guys know what they're doing. I moved to Mississauga, but still make the drive to have my major repairs and regular maintenance done by them. I love that Mark is willing to talk talk me through the various repairs that are needed - suggesting different options. My vibe had issues with the Oxygen sensor, I asked if he could simple give it a clean instead of me having to buy a new one. He did just that, fixed the issue (engine light on) saving me money on buying a new part :) As a person that is wary of mechanic shops, I am happy to go to one I can trust - OAC Auto. One year I did a huge amount of travelling in my car, and was frequently getting Oil changes. I used Canadian Tire, Jiffy Lube, Valvoline, and OAC all in a short period of time, and ended up getting fed lies about my Transmission fluid being broken down and dirty, from all except OAC. I ended up asking a friend about it after having it done, and he let me know there was nothing wrong with it, and showed me what it should look like. I was actually starting to think something was wrong with my transmission.. was great to know that OAC has never tried to scam me on Transmission fluid. I've always been able to verify what they've said to me, and in some cases they'll take me into the back and show me what the problem is, which to me is a sign of a great mechanic shop. I've given these guys some interesting and unusual challenges in the past when weird things happen to my car -, they always find a way to solve the problem. Anyways, I have too many stories to count. I've been using these guys for at least 7 years now. I will keep going back.
An honest mechanic? You bet. Jay is Awesome! These guys know what they are doing and will try to keep your costs down while doing great work. Never been disappointed - always on price, on time and done right. Oh and the new location could not be more convenient for me. Drop the car off, and literally just walk across the road to the Bronte GO station. Perfect. | automotive |

Leaving your dog behind simply because your car isn’t well suited to your dog riding along does not leave a very great feeling.
As a dog owner, you’re obviously looking to make sure that you tick the boxes of comfort and safety for your dog.
Car rides are perhaps one of the most favorite pastimes of dogs. Hanging their head out the window with their mouth open and the breeze blowing in their face.
This is absolutely one of the most magical moments that you can offer your dog.
To select the perfect car for your dog irrespective of size, here are some things to look it for:
Dogs always want to be close to their owners, this is especially true for lap dogs. This is why the interior space of a car is one of the most important aspects to consider.
If you have a German Shepherd, you wouldn’t be checking out cars with low roofs and minute interior spaces of course.
The features of the interior space are important too. If your dog typically likes to sit on car rides, then going for a car with attached, fold-down seating is a great idea.
Attached seating allows your dog to be seated when your car is moving as against bucket seats. Bucket seats make it appear as though your car has more interior space to allow for your dog to move, but your dog would have a very difficult time balancing.
This, of course, poses danger especially when you’re going downhill or when you’re on the highway.
The amount of trunk space that a car has is important for the average buyer but it is even more critical for dog owners.
Most of the time, dog owners lie to travel with ether dogs strapped into the passenger seat with a harness. However, good boot space is essential so that you have an option for your dog to travel in the rear compartment.
Usually, you can easily determine the volume of the boot space of any car and it is typically calculated in liters. It involves two calculations; volume with the rear seats down and the figure for the boot with the rear seats up.
Some cars come with ratio seating and this feature allows you to let down a part of the rear seats with one or two others still upright.
This way, you can increase space for storage and still accommodate a passenger in the rear seats. The most common ratios are 60/40 or 50/50.
If you would be driving with your dog often or you would like your rear seats to remain in the reclined position most of the time to create space for your dog, then the boot volume with the seats up should factor heavily into your decision.
Considering the space of the boot itself so that you can be sure that the volume stated actual offers sufficient floor area is important too.
You definitely want a trunk that offers more than a narrow area with high head height.
Looking out for the safety of your dog is very similar to looking out for children. Before going ahead to make a purchase, you need to ensure that the car safety features are up to par.
Other features include smart airbags; this would ease your worry about your dog if you’re involved in an accident. Smart airbags are able to detect when they should deploy the airbag, basing this judgment on whether it would do more harm or more good.
Anti-lock brakes and forward-collision warning are features that you should check for too. If your dog is only learning how to ride in a car, anti-lock brakes help to avoid accidents if you get distracted.
Seeing Out Space
While you should, of course, allow your dog to stick their head out the window, having them stick it out the whole way is not a very great idea. This can lead to accidents and there is the possibility of some particle blowing into your dog’s eye.
However, dogs like the feel of fresh air on their face when they are riding in a car, so, you should go for a car whose rear or bolt windows can be cracked open and controlled from the front of the car.
Just like people, dogs are more prone to being car sick when they cannot see where they are going. They would also feel unhappy, so going for a car that they can look out of and face the direction of travel is ideal.
A rear sunroof is also a great feature that would allow fresh air and sunlight to get in.
There is a reason why going for cars that offer fold-down seating options is advised for you and your dog. Fold in seats come in very handy especially on toes like a weekend hike or visiting the beach.
Apart from being able to down the seat, thus allowing your dog sufficient space to lie down, you would also be able to protect your seats from water damage, fur, and excess mud.
Dogs are typically known for shedding fur especially with changes in season. Fold-down seats allow you to prevent exterior damage to your seat cushions.
Your car remains clean and you save money on having to clean your car frequently.
When looking out for features, ensure that you are getting the best deal on cars such as 0% APR financing deals. This way, you don’t incur any extra debt and every ride is an exciting road trip for your dog and you, their beloved companion. | automotive |

While the engine features the same pushrod V8 engines as outgoing NASCAR cars, one critical aspect changed: power. After a chorus of calls for more horsepower, NASCAR announced a 670 hp engine package, giving the 2022 Next Gen cars the extra juice to fuel excitement for a new era of racing.
As the demand for powerful engines grows among NASCAR and other racing organizations, engine manufacturing techniques have raced forward, too. This article profiles 5-axis CNC machining, an exacting component manufacturing process capable of producing increasingly powerful race engines.
What is 5-axis CNC machining?
During 5-axis machining, a CNC machine can move a part or tool on five different axes simultaneously. This functionality differs from 3-axis techniques that only operate on three primary axes: X, Y, and Z. With 5-axis machines, the two additional A and B axes allow us to approach the part from all directions.
- Uses five axes instead of three
- Offers a multi-directional approach
- Increases the complexity of movement
As a result of these capabilities, 5-axis CNC machining can achieve the unique shapes and tight tolerance requirements that contribute to powerhouse engine performance.
Advantages of 5-axis CNC machining
Five-axis CNC machining is an advanced component manufacturing process that can help produce more complex and intricate parts, save costs, and expedite lead times. Learn more about these three primary advantages below.
- Produces more complex and intricate parts – With two additional axes of motion, 5-axis CNC machining can produce highly exacting components for more powerful engines with less tooling and equipment adjustments than other machining methods.
- Saves costs – Five-axis CNC machining can also keep your engine manufacturing project costs down, thanks to shorter setup time and less labor required to adjust the machines.
- Expedites lead times – With shorter cycle times, a 5-axis CNC machine can also produce race engine parts and other components fast, often completing them quicker than alternative machining techniques.
In the next section, we’ll introduce you to two industry-leading 5-axis equipment partners we trust to help us produce timely and accurate components for a more powerful racing engine.

This German automaker has been making iconic sports cars for decades. Some of their most iconic models include the 911 and Cayenne, while others are more contemporary, such as the Taycan. Porsche is also known for its involvement in motorsports, producing cars for competitions throughout Europe and the world. If you’ve always been intrigued by the company’s vehicles but don’t know much about them, here’s a guide for you.
What You Should Know About Porsche ?
Before purchasing a Porsche, be sure to read up on its service history. Some models have problems with the DME relay, which causes the engine to shut down. Other problems can be more serious, like the fuel injection system not working. In addition, rust damage can be a problem, so it’s important to examine the entire car for rust damage. If the car has rust problems, they’re not necessarily a deal breaker, but it’s something to be aware of.
Porsche has made many significant changes over the years, including renaming some of its cars. It also established a new headquarters in Reno, Nevada, and launched its first ever public offering. Porsche also produces the 968, a faster cousin of the 944 and 928. It’s the last front-engine model produced by the company. Its successor is the Porsche Panamera, which is a four-door sports sedan. It ships with a 4.8-liter V8 engine on the base model.
Why Should I Buy a Porsche Turbo S ?
The Porsche Turbo S is a high-performance sports car that redefines fast and fun. With a 3.7-liter flat-six, the turbocharged engine is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in a mere 10.6 seconds.

Do not attempt to start a flood exposed tractor until it has been properly cleaned and serviced. The engine may start and run, leading you to believe it has escaped damage. Unfortunately, water and dirt can get into bearings and accelerate wear. The real damage will start to show up after a few hours of use. Avoid towing the tractor for any significant distance before it has been cleaned and serviced. Towing will cause transmission wear if water and dirt have gotten inside the transmission.
How extensive the reconditioning effort will be depends on how much of the machine was submerged. You may wish to obtain professional service for tractors that have serious potential damage. If you choose not to seek professional service, the following guidelines will help minimize damage to the tractor.
Thoroughly wash off all dirt, oil and grease from the outside of the tractor. This helps prevent getting dirt inside the engine or transmission during further reconditioning work. If you use a pressure washer, be careful not to damage the seal around bearings.
If the water rose no higher than the bottom of the engine or transmission, the potential for damage is relatively minor. On two-wheel drive tractors, damage is typically limited to the front wheel bearings and kingpins or to the pin and bushing in the axle pivot. For front wheel bearings, remove the wheel and bearings from the spindle. Thoroughly clean the spindle with solvent.
Also clean the bearings and repack with fresh grease. If the bearings are old or you doubt their durability, take this opportunity to replace them with new bearings. Reassemble the bearings and hub onto the spindle. Follow the recommendations in your service manual for proper torque on the spindle. For kingpins and other pins and bushings, flush the fitting with fresh grease to force any contaminated grease, water, or dirt out. Clean off any excess grease.
On front wheel assist (FWA) tractors, the front axle drive shaft, axle pivot, the steering knuckle, and the universal joints need to be cleaned and inspected. If the front axle has a breather, there is a chance water may have gotten inside the axle housing. Drain the axle and clean the inside as thoroughly as possible. Refill with fresh lubricant. Clean the universal joints and lubricate with fresh grease. You may want to over lubricate the joint to be sure any water contaminated grease is flushed out. Seals around drive axles should protect the units from water and dirt damage if the seal was intact. If you had a leak around a seal before the flood, there is a possibility that water and dirt have leaked past the seal. Thoroughly clean the exterior of the axle to remove any dirt that may wear against the seal. Avoid spraying high-pressure washers directly into seals as they may push dirt past the seal.
If the water rose as high as the middle of the engine or transmission, the potential for damage is greater. Any engine or transmission seal or gasket is a potential point for water and dirt to leak inside, especially if you noticed an oil leak in that area before. Drain the lubricant from the engine or transmission and inspect for signs of water. If you do not see any water in the oil, you did not have a leak. Refill with fresh lubricant and change the filter. If you observe signs of water in the lubricant, remove the oil pan and clean the engine crankcase or transmission housing thoroughly. Remove and replace all oil filters. Reassemble and refill with fresh lubricant. After a few hours of use, drain and refill again, replacing the filter as well.
If the tractor was completely submerged by floodwater, the potential for damage is high. It is highly likely that water has gotten inside the engine or transmission. The tractor will need a complete overhaul to be absolutely certain that further damage will not occur. If you do not have the shop facilities or expertise to perform these repairs, you may wish to have your dealer provide the service. If you choose to perform the repairs yourself, follow the recommendations below to reduce the risk of damage.
- Thoroughly clean the exterior of the engine. Use a water hose, pressure washer, or steam cleaner. Scrub away any grease deposits with an appropriate engine cleaner.
- Disconnect and remove the battery. The battery may need to be replaced.
- Disconnect the starter and alternator or generator. Disconnect any other electrical wiring and other components connected to the engine. On gasoline engines remove the distributor. Mark all wires so you will know where and how to reconnect them.
- Clean the starter and alternator or generator thoroughly inside and out. Disassemble, wash all components properly, then bake to dry. Your local electric motor repair service can help you with this or may be able to do the service for you. Reassemble when dry and finished. Dissemble and clean the distributor, regulator and any other serviceable component.
- Disconnect the fuel lines to the engine. Remove and discard the fuel filter. Drain all fuel from the tank and dispose of it properly. Rinse the tank with fresh fuel or kerosene and dispose of the rinse. Clean out the fuel lines with compressed air to be sure they are clean. Be very careful to avoid fire hazards when working with the fuel or fuel systems.
- Clean the radiator cooling fins. If the cooling system was unsealed, drain the radiator, flush with water, and replace the coolant.
- Remove the spark plugs or fuel injectors. Remove the air cleaner, air cleaner housing, and intake manifold. On gasoline engines remove the carburetor. Remove the muffler and exhaust manifold.
- Drain the engine crankcase, remove the oil pan and oil filters. Wash out the crankcase with engine cleaner, diesel fuel or kerosene.
- Check to see if you have water in the cylinders. A borescope is a handy tool to inspect the inside of a cylinder. Slowly turn the engine to push any water out of the spark plug or injector holes. You may have to remove the cylinder head to thoroughly clean the inside of a cylinder.
- Coat the cylinder walls, engine bearings, and any other wear surface exposed with a light oil. Let stand a few minutes then slowly turn the engine crankshaft a few times. This will spread oil on the cylinder walls and bearings and help push any fine dirt away. Allow this oil to drain away. Repeat as necessary to fully clean the cylinder walls.
- Reassemble the engine, refill with oil and replace all filters. As you reassemble, be sure to replace all seals and gaskets with new ones. Thoroughly inspect the engine to be sure you have covered everything.
- Start the engine and let it run slowly at first, then bring it up to speed. After a few hours of use, drain the engine oil and refill with fresh oil. Change the filter again.
Transmission (Including Clutch, Differential, Final Drive, and Hydraulic Systems)
- Thoroughly clean the exterior of the transmission. Use a water hose, pressure washer, or steam cleaner. Scrub away any grease deposits with an appropriate cleaner.
- Drain the fluid from the transmission housing. Inspect for signs of water or dirt. Remove and discard the oil filter.
- Remove the transmission oil pan or cover. Thoroughly clean the inside of the transmission housing. If you have the equipment, remove the axles for better access. Do not attempt this if you do not have the proper equipment or training.
- Remove the access panel and inspect the clutch. Carefully clean the clutch if necessary. Most tractors have a dry clutch; be careful not to get oil or grease on it. On some tractors, you must separate the engine and transmission to get access to the clutch. Do not attempt this if you do not have the proper equipment or training. Seek professional help.
- Reassemble the transmission and refill with fresh lubricant. Replace the filter.
- After a few hours of use, drain the lubricant again. Change the filter and refill with fresh lubricant.
- Go over the tractor and lubricate all bearings. Unsealed bearings may require cleaning first. Sealed bearings should not need to be cleaned if the seal is still good.
- Remove any carpet or upholstery from the cab or seat. Wash thoroughly and allow to dry. Remove the lining from the cab, wash and dry completely.
- Wash the inside of the cab with soap and water. Leave open to dry thoroughly.
- Inspect the brakes. Brake pads may need to be replaced.
- Check and lubricate the steering linkage.
- Check any moving part for rust. This includes door hinges and latches, hood latches and hinges, lift arms, movable shields, and any other moving or wear part.
- Remove the fuses and check each circuit for shorts. Electrical wiring must be allowed to dry out. If it appears damaged or corroded, replace. Coat the contacts with a corrosion preventative where appropriate.
Keep a Close Watch!
Once equipment has been reconditioned and returned to service, pay very close attention to its performance over the next few months. If there is any sign of poor performance, have the tractor inspected immediately.
The guidelines provided in these pages are intended to help minimize equipment damage and personal injury. There are no guarantees that the procedures described here will address all potential problems. If you have any doubts about the reliability or safety of a piece of flood damaged equipment, seek trained professional assistance from your equipment dealer.

Butler produces Pontiac power with its high performance Pontiac crate engines. All engines custom designed and tailored to your application. Get the power and performance you desire with an engine built, dynoed, blueprinted, and customized just for you. You can even get these engines in builder kits ready to assemble. These engines start with high quality parts form many top brands in the industry. Butler then puts them through the "Butler Process", a tried and true method established over many years in the performance and racing industry.
Please take time to see how our engine program works and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Our crate engine and custom engine program has been a mainstay here at Butler. Our skilled machinists and builders have years of experience machining and building engines for all applications from all original looking numbers matching engines, performance versions of these, to high performance street strip muscle car engines that are big on power, fun to drive, and reliable on the street. Our reliability comes from attention to detail in our Butler Process when machining and prepping the block for assembly.
This process is the same no matter if you get a fully built complete engine or a ready to assemble builder kit that you or your choice of builder put together.

More About Butler Crate Engines/Builder Kits
Complete Engine vs Builder Kit
Complete Crate Engine (assembled)
Our complete assemble engines are fully assembled, blueprinted, and dyno tuned ready for installation when received. Our engines include a new aftermarket block, a Butler supplied core block (no core charge) or using your block. Using a customer block does have more steps as the block need to be shipped in or delivered where we can clean it, inspect it, and sonic test it to ensure we are starting with a block worthy of building. We can help with inbound shipping if needed. Those details will be covered more in depth if you decide to take this route in your build.
This type of build normally takes the longest time due to the added services of assembly, the complexity of dyno testing, and the added crating system used to transport a completely assembled engine.
Crate Engine Builder Kit
We can also do a complete engine (Long Block or Short Block) in unassembled kit form that you (or your shop) build. These lead times are short due to the extra services not being done in our shop. These kits can be produced in 14-16 weeks. These kits include the same blocks as a complete engine, fully machined and ready to assemble. We include all the same parts we would use in our assembly shop and ship to you or your chosen shop.
These kits are machined, and blueprinted ready for your final inspection/cleaning and assembly. Here at Butler we do not look at this as competition but rather we are partnering and will provide any technical details you may need including torque specs or assembly procedures and methods.
Custom Engine vs Butler Engine Package
We can build you any Pontiac engine imaginable and have probably already done it. These are custom engines and take a large amount of time on the front end designing and specing out the details. We also ensure that the combinations of parts will produce what is expected. Based on our build history and experience we can almost always deliver what is expected. These take a substantial amount of time testing and tuning. If this is the route you want to go then Butler can accommodate.
We have spent many years making each engine custom designed. During this time we have put together the combinations that simply work and deliver the HP and Torque levels expected. This has lead us to our Butler Packages.
These are more detailed on our site but you can basically select from these packages;
Stealth/Stock Appearing Crate Engines
450-600 HP Crate Engine and Crate Engine Builder Kits
600-800 HP+ Crate Engines and Crate Engine Builder Kits
These have the same core components to make the power expected but still with basic options of carb/efi, paint color, and the other details to accent the look you are desiring. These packages have a faster setup time due to internal components are already spec'd and ready to select the final appearance options.
Your Block or BP Block
We can build your engine or kit using your block or a Butler supplied block. When using a customer block we can help arrange inbound shipping to make the process much easier. Once the block arrives we will thoroughly test it before machining. Butler also has core and aftermarket blocks available. Core blocks are thoroughly tested as well and there is no core charge. Aftermarket block are available in cast or aluminum. Aftermarket blocks are usually 505-535 cuin builds.

Our shop tries our best to keep a reliable build schedule where we can deliver as promised. With that being said, 2020 and 2021 have been trying times due to lack of parts and raw goods industry wide. There is nothing more frustrating for you the customer, and us the builder, than delays and missed delivery dates. This is why Butler Performance has a build schedule with slots scheduled throughout the year. This ensures that a customer that is ready with their deposit will be put into the schedule and given a delivery window they can depend on. As always, if there is anything that holds a build up, we will communicate and make any changes necessary to get back on schedule
Our current Engine Program is booked through the end of 2021 and we will start to schedule for 2022 soon.
Once your build comes up to start we will contact you to make sure your build schedule is ready and final payment arrangements are in place if a deposit only has been made. Another 25% is due before machining starts. Once the machining starts you can expect about 4 weeks shop time for complete engines and 2-3 for engine kits. When the build is finished and ready for crating we will contact you to go over shipping details and get the final payment.
We accept deposits on engines and engine kits and must be paid in full prior to shipping. To lock in your build and be put on the schedule a 50% deposit is required. Payments can be made throughout the process to reduce the final balance before shipping. All major forms of payments accepted as well as wire transfer and some financing options are available.
Contact us for more details on any of these options or with any questions. | automotive |

As a Hyundai Drive Squad Member, I am happy to share this valuable information with you …
With the cold winter behind us, there is no better time than now to kick start your spring cleaning and get your vehicle cleaned up and ready for the warm weather ahead! Say goodbye to salt stains on your car and floor mats, dirt build up on your windshield and wipers, and household items piled up in your back seat or trunk!
For the month of April, the Hyundai Drive Squad is here to help you spring into SPRING cleaning your vehicle. Get your rubber gloves out; here are some helpful tips for car spring cleaning:
Say goodbye to salt-stained carpets: After a long winter, your car’s carpets are likely to have white stains from road salt. Remove them by using water mixed with white vinegar and scrub the tough stains with an old rag or brush.
Wax every season: Each winter season, your car’s paint colour is dulled by the elements and picks up scratches, so keep it looking clean and new with a liquid spray wax.
Out with the dirt in with the clean: Get out your vacuum to suck up all the dirt and dust in the small corners of your vehicle. Remember to put your seats down to get between the cracks and also vacuum all the cup holders throughout your vehicle as these areas collect dirt, too!
It’s called washing your car, not your dishes: Never use dish soap to clean your vehicle as it will dull and scratch the protective clear coat off your car. Try using Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner.
Put a break on your brake dust: Get rid of that reddish, brown coloured powder on your wheels caused by normal brake wear. Wipe down your wheels with a cleaning solution safe for alloy wheels (available at any hardware store) and address those hard-to-reach places in between the wheel’s spokes with a scrub brush or rag.
Take a load off: Do you use your car as a storage unit? Be sure to empty out your trunk and back seats of all your winter build up. Removing unnecessary weight also improves fuel efficiency and your car’s handling!
What’s happening under the hood? Cars need a ‘medical’ check-up, too! Every spring, it is a good idea to take your vehicle in for a quick under-the-hood inspection and get an oil change, filter replacement and tire rotation.
Freshen up: After you are finished cleaning your car, add your favourite smelling air freshener to keep your car smelling clean and fresh all spring and summer!
To kick start your vehicle spring cleaning, Hyundai Canada has teamed up with My Bits and Bleeps to offer you a giveaway (valued at over $50) – The ultimate spring cleaning kit for your car includes:

http://www.grableads.net/understanding-if-paintless-dent-repair-could-work-for-you/ | 2021-12-03T04:22:45 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362589.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203030522-20211203060522-00394.warc.gz | 0.962405 | 538 | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-49__0__126196510 | en | If your motor vehicle has sustained a dent (large or small), it is probable that paintless dent repair could be a viable alternative for repair. Conventionally, repairing dents was a protracted, expensive process that involved days of work at auto body shop near me. With paintless dent repair this procedure has been radically reduced in both cost and time necessities. While paintless dent repair can’t repair every single dent productively, it is effectual in the vast majority of cases. This repair procedure is a great applicant for dent and dings comparable, especially for cars vandalized during hailstorms. The best part is this repair won’t break the bank and, in most cases, can be done in just a few short hours!
When it’s not
As was early mentioned, there are times when paintless dent repair cannot be utilized due to the type of damage sustained. Typically, your motor vehicle will not be a good candidate for this type of repair when the underlying metal has been torn, when sharp edges are entrenched in the dent, when the dent has caused the paint to shaving away or become scratched, when the location of the dent is close to the edge of the panel, or when the same area has been broken and repaired previously.
When PDR Can Save the Day
Dents that have not resulted in paint damage are the most excellent candidates for paintless dent repair. This procedure completely avoids the use of fillers, sanding, and painting, meaning your car can get back on the road faster for half of the cost. Paintless dent repair is also a winner because there is no require trying and matching the repair to the rest of the motor vehicle, which can often be hard to do as older paint may be lighter due to fading. Furthermore, you uphold greater equity in your vehicle as your car still boasts of the unique manufacturer’s paint job. Not to mention, since there is none of the conventional repair requirements, it is less probable you will have future issue with the repair.
The idea of paintless dent repair is undemanding, yet innovative. Once the body person determines that your dent is a good candidate for PDR, he will find the least all-encompassing way to get to the affected area. Typically, this will be via a window or behind inner panels or trim that can be removed for access.
The body person will utilize tools designed especially for removing dents via PDR and ever so cautiously start on the outside and work towards the center of the dent. During this careful process, the dent will be eased out and the metal will return to its unique form. | automotive |

Sometimes the reasons why the car will not start are mechanical. Here are three possible culprits that could be preventing a car from starting.
If a car was made after the mid 90s, chances are it has a transponder key. A transponder key is a key that has a chip that emits a signal to the car's computer. If it's the right signal, then the computer will allow the car to start. However, if the key is damaged and the right signal is not being emitted, then the car will not start. Transponder keys are meant to be a form of theft prevention. However, when they malfunction, a trip to the locksmith is necessary. A locksmith will be able to either reprogram the key or obtain a new one that will work with the car.
Another surprising reason why a car may not start is dirt and grime. Over the years ignition locks can actually get pretty dirty as dust and dirt collects within. The lock can also have problems if it lacks lubrication. If a car will not start or has trouble start, this may be the problem. The solution is often just some routine maintenance and a trip to the locksmith. A locksmith can clean and lubricate the lock and make it easier for the key to turn. Sometimes drivers may think the problem is with the key instead of the ignition lock. If unsure, the driver should try to use a spare key before getting their ignition lock cleaned. If the spare key does not work, then the problem may be with the ignition lock.
Another reason why a car won't start is a problem with the battery. If the car is cranking but not starting, then the problem is most likely a dead battery and not an issue with the keys or ignition. A bad connection to the battery caused by corroded wires will lead to a completely silent car when the key is turned. This is a problem that should be immediately addressed by a mechanic.
A car that won't start is something that every driver dreads. There are many different reasons why a car may not start. Some possible problems include a faulty transponder key, a dirty ignition lock, or a problem with the battery. | automotive |

It seems 11 million cars world wide are affected by VW's gaming of the system to confirm cars are meeting emissions standards. Software made the cars run under strict emissions standards when being tested but not so much when actually out on the open road. The thing is that's pretty damn clever. Granted, clever in the service of EVIL but still. It's like in Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin would come up with some convoluted scheme involving robotics or time travel to get out of homework or cleaning his room. In the time it took to work out the details of his plan, Calvin could've finished his homework or cleaned his room. In the time and effort it took VW engineers to figure out how to trick the emissions test, those same engineers could've figured out a way to make their cars compliant with emissions tests.
Instead Volkswagen is now or will be subjected to recalls, fines, class action lawsuits, a loss of sales and damaged credibility. It's that last one it's hard to put a price tag on but it's the most valuable asset a company can have. And of all the car companies in the world, VW had a lot of goodwill with a lot of consumers. As the frequent victim of my daughter's games of Punch Buggy, I know there are A LOT of VW Beetles out there.
And this is the thing that bothers me whenever any company gets caught doing something like this. Are the rewards for cheating the system or cutting corners or not meeting standards really worth the potential costs? I don't know how much money VW made or saved with each car that was tricked out to avoid accurate emissions testing but consider the costs to the company for their actions. Not just in the out of pocket expenses for fixing the problem, paying fines and settling lawsuits but in the costs to reputation. How many sales will be impacted by this scandal? Not just sales lost but those made with deep discounts to entice a customer to stay with Volkswagen.
Yet time and time again, companies will do this, engaging in a practice to reduce costs and increase profits that ultimately does more damage than good, costs more money that is made, perhaps even affecting that company's ability to stay in business.
I don't think Volkswagen is in mortal danger but its reputation for building a dependable and economical car that is also environmentally friendly has taken a big hit and it's a cost that outweighs whatever gains they were seeking. Really, VW, what the fahrvergnugen were you thinking?
Everyone be good to one another. I'll be back with another post tomorrow. | automotive |

TyreSafe’s stance on part worn tyres remains unmoved, and this video illustrates why. It is a simple fact that part worn tyres are not as safe as new tyres because inadequate tread depth will decrease the grip of a tyre, especially in wetter conditions.
It is not only tread depth that affects tyres and highlights the dangers of driving with these but also the condition of tyres when bought. As this video demonstrates, tyres may be sold with nails embedded in them, cuts or bulges, or even chunks missing.
Investigations by TyreSafe and Trading Standards show over 93% of part worn tyres are not compliant with the law. Between a third and half were found to have defects which made them unsafe to use, a shocking statistic.
Objectives and targeting
Although it is not illegal to sell part worn tyres, the law is very clear about the status and condition that second-hand tyres should adhere to. TyreSafe has campaigned for twelve years to spread awareness and educate retailers and consumers on the importance of tyre safety.
We encourage consumers and retailers to think about buying and selling part worn tyres respectively because of the risks to motorists. | automotive |

Whether you find yourself trapped in a car after an accident or in a dangerous situation, knowing how to break a car window quietly can be a lifesaver.
In this article, we will explore the reasons why breaking a car window quietly is important and discuss the tools and techniques you can use to accomplish this task.
By the end, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to handle such a situation if it ever arises.
Why it’s important to break a car window quietly
Break a car window quietly is essential in emergency situations for several reasons.
First and foremost, it allows you to escape without drawing unnecessary attention to yourself.
This can be especially important if you find yourself in a dangerous or life-threatening situation where remaining unnoticed is crucial.
Additionally, break a car window quietly can help you avoid causing further damage to the vehicle or injuring yourself in the process.
By using the right tools and techniques, you can minimize the risk of harm while still achieving your goal of escaping the vehicle.
Tools and techniques for quietly break a car window
To break a car window quietly, you’ll need to have the right tools and knowledge.
One of the most effective tools for this task is a spring-loaded center punch. This small handheld device is designed specifically for breaking tempered glass, which is commonly used in car windows.
The spring-loaded mechanism provides the necessary force to shatter the glass with minimal noise. Another tool you can use is a ceramic spark plug.
By removing the porcelain part of the spark plug and striking the window with the exposed ceramic, you can create a small crack that will quickly spread and break the glass.
When using these tools, it’s important to aim for the corners or edges of the window, as these areas are the weakest points. Additionally, applying pressure while striking the glass will help increase the chances of breaking it.
Remember to cover your hand with a cloth or glove to protect yourself from any potential injuries caused by shattered glass. By using the right tools and techniques, you can break a car window quietly and efficiently.
The easiest way to break a car window quietly
If you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to break a car window quickly and quietly, there is an easy method you can use. Locate the headrest of one of the seats and remove it from its position.
Take the metal prongs of the headrest and insert them into the gap between the window and the door frame. With a quick and forceful motion, push the headrest towards the window.
The combination of the metal prongs and the force applied will create enough pressure to break the glass. This method is effective because it utilizes the strength of the headrest and requires minimal tools or preparation.
How to break a car widow from outside
In some emergency situations, you may find yourself outside the vehicle and need to break a car window from the outside. While it may seem like a challenging task, it is possible with the right technique.
One method is to use a glass-breaking hammer or a rescue tool specifically designed for breaking car windows. These tools have a pointed tip that can easily penetrate the glass when struck with force.
Aim for the corners or edges of the window and deliver a strong blow to break the glass. Remember to wear safety gloves and goggles to protect yourself from any flying glass shards.
How hard is it to break a car window?
Breaking a car window may seem like a daunting task, but in reality, it is not as difficult as it may appear. Car windows are typically made of tempered glass, which is designed to shatter into small, dull pieces when broken.
This makes it easier to break compared to other types of glass. With the right tools and technique, breaking a car window can be achieved with a moderate amount of force.
It’s important to note that the corners and edges of the window are the weakest points and should be targeted when attempting to break the glass.
By using the appropriate tools and applying the right amount of pressure, breaking a car window can be accomplished successfully.
Safety precautions when breaking a car window
While breaking a car window in an emergency can be a necessary action, it’s important to take certain safety precautions to protect yourself and others. Always wear safety gloves and goggles to shield yourself from potential injury caused by shattered glass.
Make sure to position yourself in a way that minimizes the risk of being struck by flying glass shards. Additionally, be aware of your surroundings and ensure that there are no individuals or objects in close proximity to the window you are about to break.
By taking these safety precautions, you can minimize the risk of harm while breaking a car window in an emergency.
Other alternatives to consider in an emergency
While breaking a car window may be the most common method of escape in emergency situations, there are other alternatives you can consider. If the car has electric windows, you can try using a slim jim or a long, flexible object to press the unlock button.
This method requires some skill and may not be effective on all vehicles. Another alternative is to call emergency services and provide them with your exact location and situation.
They can guide you through the process of safely exiting the vehicle or dispatch help to your location. It’s important to remember that each situation is unique, and the best course of action may vary depending on the circumstances.
Tips for preventing emergencies in the first place
While knowing how to handle emergency situations is crucial, it’s equally important to take preventative measures to minimize the likelihood of such situations occurring. Regularly maintain your vehicle to ensure it is in good working condition and address any mechanical issues promptly.
Keep your keys accessible at all times to avoid being locked out of your vehicle. Plan your routes and familiarize yourself with the areas you will be driving through to avoid getting lost or ending up in potentially dangerous locations.
Lastly, always stay alert and focused while driving to reduce the risk of accidents. By following these tips, you can decrease the chances of finding yourself in an emergency situation.
Conclusion on how to silently break a car window
In conclusion, knowing how to quietly break a car window in an emergency is an important skill that can save lives.
By understanding the importance of breaking a car window quietly, having the right tools and techniques, and taking appropriate safety precautions, you can effectively and safely escape a vehicle in emergency situations.
Remember to consider alternative methods of escape and take preventative measures to minimize the likelihood of emergencies occurring in the first place.
By being prepared and knowledgeable, you can confidently handle unexpected situations and protect yourself and others. Stay safe and always be prepared. | automotive |

As a single adult, unattached, you might have been able to function fine relying on carpooling and public transit, but with kids now in the mix, a car is a necessity.
Despite this, shopping for cars can seem overwhelming. Not only do you first have to consider the price of cars, but you have to weigh these prices against statistics, reports, and marketing pressures.
As a single parent, there are specific needs to consider along with price. While you begin your car shopping experience, let following factors weigh in with your final decision.
In the United States, there are over six million car accidents every year, and out of the 40,000 people that die in those accidents; 2,000 of those are children under the age of 14. Even if you are a careful driver, accidents can happen. Because you value you and your child’s safety, choosing a safe car should be priority number one. Air bags, headrests, seatbelts, and impact-reductive frame materials should be part of any car you choose.
If you have young children who need child safety or booster seats, having a large back seat with doors that open nice and wide can make your life a whole lot easier. It’s a simple point but serves to belabor. Plus, having some extra space in the backseat can make moving things just a little easier.
Though anti-lock brakes have slowly become more standard over the past decade, they are still listed as an option on many models. If possible, choose the ABS option. Anti-lock brakes give you extra surety in bad weather, and though you should always drive carefully, ABS helps.
Statistics show that seatbelts save lives. You see the commercials on TV and the billboards on the side of the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that a well-installed child safety seat and seatbelt can reduce the chance of a child dying in a car accident by 71% for infants and over 50% for toddlers. Locking seatbelts in the front and backseats are absolutely necessary for driver and passenger safety.
Features like OnStar, DVD players, personal heating/cooling systems, and rear-view cameras might cost you a little bit extra, but can make driving a car a whole lot easier (and quieter). If you have the money, let yourself splurge a little for some luxury. Your children will appreciate you for it.
If you buy the right car and maintain it well, it will last you a lifetime. What are other safety features you should consider for you and your child when purchasing a car?

In this press release, we offer essential information to inform consumers about the considerations and processes associated with windshield repair.
When faced with windshield damage, it is crucial to make informed decisions regarding repair or replacement. Patsco Windshield Repair aims to provide clarity on this topic without adopting a sales-oriented approach.
Key Information on Windshield Repair:
- Types of Windshield Damage: Windshield damage can manifest in various forms, including chips, cracks, and scratches. Identifying the nature and extent of the damage is the first step in determining the appropriate course of action.
- Repair vs. Replacement: Not all windshield damage requires a full replacement. Smaller chips and cracks can often be repaired effectively using specialized techniques. However, larger or more severe damage may necessitate a complete windshield replacement.
- Safety Considerations: The windshield is a critical component of a vehicle’s structural integrity and passenger safety. Any repair or replacement must adhere to safety standards and should be performed by qualified professionals.
- Insurance Coverage: It is advisable to review your auto insurance policy to check if windshield repairs or replacements are covered. Many insurance providers offer coverage for these services, which can alleviate financial burdens.
- Repair Process: Windshield repair typically involves cleaning the damaged area, injecting resin into the affected spot, and curing it using ultraviolet (UV) light. This process is usually swift, allowing for prompt use of the vehicle.
- Cost Factors: The cost of windshield repair can fluctuate based on multiple factors, including the type and extent of damage, the vehicle’s make and model, and regional pricing variations. Seeking quotes from reputable auto glass repair shops is a prudent step.
- Certified Technicians: It is crucial to entrust windshield repairs to certified and experienced technicians. Professionals are better equipped to provide high-quality and safe repairs.
- Warranty Information: Inquire about the warranty offered for the repair. Reputable auto glass shops frequently provide warranties that cover potential issues such as further cracking or leakage.
- Timely Action: Small chips and cracks can worsen over time, particularly in extreme weather conditions. Promptly addressing windshield damage can often prevent further deterioration, reducing the likelihood of more costly replacements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Familiarize yourself with any state or local regulations pertaining to windshield repair and replacement. These regulations may include specifications regarding the size and location of damage eligible for repair.
- DIY vs. Professional Repair: While do-it-yourself (DIY) windshield repair kits are available, professional repairs are generally recommended. DIY kits may not deliver the same level of quality and safety assurance as professional services.
- Maintenance After Repair: Following a windshield repair, adhering to maintenance guidelines provided by the technician is essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the repair.

They have systematically adopted new technologies and integrated them with their field-proven solutions to meet each regulatory Tier.
John Deere was the first engine manufacturer to widely commercialize cooled EGR and variable geometry turbocharger technologies in off-highway applications, introducing them with the start of Tier 3/Stage IIIA regulations. This process reroutes cooled exhaust gas back into the intake manifold, which reduces oxygen levels, lowers exhaust temperatures, and reduces levels of NOx.
John Deere’s straightforward PowerTech EWX 4.5L engines have 2-valves cylinder heads, high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel systems, and full authority electronic controls. These engines use simple wastegate turbocharging to maintain transient response and peak torque in all operating conditions. The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure and higher injection pressures up to 23,000 psi. It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection.
Wastegate turbochargers are designed to develop more airflow at lower engine speeds to improve low-speed torque. The wastegate control device bleeds off a portion of the exhaust flow at higher engine speeds. Wastegate turbos deliver improved transient response and higher peak torque without compromising engine envelope size.
These engines utilize a catalyzed exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream DPF through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Passive regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat form the exhaust steam and catalysts within the exhaust filter triggers the oxidation of the trapped PM. If passive regeneration cannot be achieved due to low temperature, load, or speed, the PM is removed using active regeneration-an automatic cleaning process controlled by the exhaust temperature management system. In most cases, filter cleaning does not impact engine operation or require operator involvement.
The use of exhaust filters on engines requires the use of diesel fuel with a sulfur content of less than 15 ppm (ultra-low sulfur diesel or ULSD). John Deere engines operate efficiently with ultra-low sulfur diesel as well as B5 to B20 blends, providing optimal performance and fuel-choice flexibility. | automotive |

General Asset Protection (GAP) insurance covers the difference between the value of your car and the value of a loan, if the value of your car is less than the outstanding loan amount.
When you add GAP insurance, you get the security of knowing that if something happens to your new vehicle, you’re covered. Here’s how GAP insurance could help you.
Why you may need GAP insurance
You may need GAP insurance since the comprehensive section of your standard auto policy only pays what your car is worth at the time of loss. For instance, if you finance a car for $30,000, but its value is only $25,000 at the time you total it, the insurance company will only pay the current value of the auto — $25,000. You’re responsible for the $5,000 left on the loan, or the “gap” between the original car value and the current value. That’s where GAP insurance can help.
GAP insurance may be mandatory as part of a lease or loan agreement with a car dealer, especially if you put down less than 20 percent. According to the Insurance Information Institute, you could also benefit from GAP insurance if you bought a car that depreciates faster than the average vehicles, like a luxury car, or if you rolled over a car loan where you were upside down on the payments.
How much does GAP insurance cost?
Total costs vary for GAP insurance. However, this type of protection generally doesn’t add much to your lease or finance payment, nor to your auto insurance payment, depending on where you secure coverage. A GAP policy from an auto insurer may cost less than buying it from the dealer when it’s included with your collision and comprehensive coverage.
GAP coverage costs can be rolled into a monthly car payment from the dealer. Your auto insurer may add the costs directly into your monthly policy payment. Finally, if you found a third party that only sells GAP insurance, you’ll need to pay them directly.
GAP insurance could make a big difference when it comes to closing the coverage gap.

Connected and self-driving vehicles, active and passive safety, renewable fuels and electrification, production technology, new materials and new mobility services – the Gothenburg region is a world-leading player in the future of mobility.
Regional assets create innovative power
With over 40,000 direct employees in the automotive industry in Region Västra Götaland, 98 per cent of the country’s passenger car industry and 50 per cent of the country’s truck industry located in Gothenburg, 3,000 university students graduating annually from Chalmers University of Technology, which is a leading seat of research in the field of transport, and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden based in Gothenburg, the region is one of the world’s most knowledge-dense regions per capita, with regard to the future development of personal mobility and freight transport.
The region is also known as a world leader in the development of mobile data systems and telematics solutions, a pioneer in creating test beds and development facilities in the field of sustainable transport solutions through cooperation between the private, public and academic sectors.
A major advantage of the Gothenburg region is the availability of a highly skilled, flexible workforce in the form of nearly 30,000 technology and data consultants, which facilitates the establishment of new businesses and makes it easier for expansive companies to grow. All in all, these factors make the Gothenburg region a world-leading player in the future of mobility.
"In Gothenburg we have a complete value chain for the automotive industry, there are not many places in the world where you can go from concept to finished product in the same way as we do here. We have a climate of cooperation, systemic thinking and the whole ecosystem to build vehicles, to stay on course with digitalisation and connect the transport system."
Per Österström, Area Manager Automotive & Transport
A world-class test arena
Gothenburg acts as a test arena in a number of projects – not the least within transport and automotive. Business Region Göteborg is often a collaborator in such projects. We can identify companies’ needs and gather actors from the private, public and academic sectors. Examples of projects where many actors work together to bring ideas to fruition are Hyper Bus and ElectriCity where entirely electric, silent and emission free buses are now in operation. DriveMe is another such project and during 2017, 100 self-driving cars will be tested in real traffic.
Collaboration, collaboration, collaboration
An important key to the region's success in the automotive industry is the collaboration between enterprise, academia and the public sector. Lindholmen Science Park and Johanneberg Science Park in Gothenburg channel such collaboration and act as platforms for cross-disciplinary and cross-industry projects. Project that include Test Site Sweden, developing test and demonstration environments for sustainable transport, Telematics Valley, working with vehicle-related telematics, and automotive ICT Arena, gathering actors in the field of vehicle IT.
Collaboration within the region has even resulted in AstaZero, the world's first full-scale test environment for the traffic safety of tomorrow.
Sustainability in focus
The automotive industry exhibits strong development towards greener and more efficient goods and passenger transport. Reaching the Swedish government's vision of a fossil fuel-free vehicle fleet by 2030 requires alternative fuels and electric vehicles.
How we can help
Business Region Göteborg creates the conditions for companies and actors in the automotive industry to interact and meet through mutual regional, national and international collaborations. With the help of its networks and contacts, Business Region Göteborg can create fruitful connections between industries and find links between academia, business and society. Our mission is also to promote the Gothenburg region and help forge paths out in to the global market for automotive industry companies based in Western Sweden.

Choctaw Nation officers take part in ‘Click It or Ticket’ seat belt campaign
By LARISSA COPELAND
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
ATOKA, Okla. – The Choctaw Nation Public Safety Department is once again joining up with its Southeastern Oklahoma Traffic Safety Coalition (SOTSC) partners for this year’s “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement campaign.
The operation kicked off with a press event on May 14 at the Atoka High School, and was followed by a police checkpoint to ensure drivers and vehicle occupants were in compliance of the state’s seat belt laws. The checkpoint was operated by Choctaw Tribal officers and law enforcement agencies from Idabel, Hugo, Calera, and Atoka Police Departments, as well as the Atoka County Sheriffs Department and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Eight-hundred-forty-four vehicles passed through during the two-hour checkpoint, resulting in 25 citations and 47 warnings issued to the motorists. Additionally, officers also performed 11 child safety seat inspections and served six warrants.
The main push for “Click It or Ticket” will run from May 21-June 3. Officers will be out both day and night patrolling Oklahoma roadways and running checkpoints to crack down on seat belt violators.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts are the most effective vehicle safety feature ever invented, yet so many of those hitting the road still fail to buckle up regularly. The goal for this year’s “Click It or Ticket” blitz is to increase the seat belt use percentage of Oklahoma motorists and occupants to at least 90 percent.
Sgt. Johnson checks the backseat of a vehicle stopped at the checkpoint to ensure all occupants were wearing their seat belts.

Inevitably, your youthful offspring grow up to be members of society. For most, that journey includes a stop at the DMV to get a driver’s license. Even though they’re on their way to mastering how to drive a car, parents are often filled with nerves, as well as excitement. As a parent, you have the power to equip your teen driver with the right skills to build their abilities and responsibilities. By teaching them useful driving skills and securing reliable auto insurance in Arcadia, your teen can be confident behind the wheel.
Teach Manual Skills
Today’s new vehicles are laden with technology. While this is a good thing for the average adult driver, it is still incredibly important to know how to drive safely without the help of these gadgets. Teach your teen how to reverse without relying on the backup camera and emphasize the importance of checking their blind spot themselves before merging.
Driving at Night
Driving at night has its dangers, even for the most experienced drivers. Teens may not spend any time driving in the dark until they have their license in hand. So that your child knows what to do, spend a bit of time on a weekday night (when the roads tend to be quiet) teaching how to navigate the roads at nightfall. Talk to your teen about the dangers of night-time driving and how to use their headlights properly.
Practice Sharing the Road
Every day we have to share the road with cyclists, pedestrians, and school buses – among other motorists! Ensure that your child knows how to move around cyclists safely and when they should not pass a school bus. Not only will your teenager use these skills regularly – as in, every day – but these skills also enable them to navigate these circumstances on their driving test without any problems.
With your teen behind the wheel, you’ll want to secure reliable auto insurance in Arcadia, California. Visit the local experts at Grand Oak Insurance Agency to get started on a tailored policy. | automotive |

This can be done by incorporating light-weight metallic alloys, such as aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys, with more generic automotive modulus often made of high strength steel in order to reduce the total mass of a vehicle. To improve the load bearing capacity of dissimilar joints, optimization of the intermetallic layer thickness and the suppression of interfacial defects are key elements. In this study, a brief review is performed on the recent research progresses on laser joining of aluminum alloy to steel, in terms of different welding technologies including laser keyhole welding and laser welding brazing. Some suggestions were also put forward in the conclusions. | automotive |

Our country is built around highways and suburbs, a vast interstate system and a proliferation of strip malls and drive-throughs. There are very few cities that are easy to navigate without a car. Like many other luxury categories, cars express status, taste and values. But particularly in America, cars also symbolize freedom and independence.
Therefore, it came as no surprise to us that our LuxuryVerse members had a lot to say when it came to their vehicles. There are some nuances the automotive industry:
Cars are for Mainly for Men, but Moms also Use Them?!
Cars are advertised for men. Period. Even the depiction of women in car commercials reinforces it – Elizabeth, Gen Z, NY
I genuinely believe that the system is intended and implemented in a way that targets men, regardless of how the auto industry attempts to market itself to the general public. It is quite rare to see auto advertisements with a woman driving or getting into the vehicle, especially a sports car. – Rotem, Millennial, LA
Are you ready? Not every woman is a mother who wants an SUV for their kids. AKA soccer moms. Every ad with women alludes to having children. It infuriates me to no end! It’s like men can be silver foxes in roadsters, who also have children, but the moms have the SUV. I’m not a mom, by choice – Anna, Millennial, LA
I feel like you only see women in ads when they are buying family vehicles. The sports cars are always shown with men. It would be really cool to see a bad ass woman driving a sports car in a serious way, and not as a sexy side piece. – Yevy, Millennial, LA
Here are some gender stats on the US: Women make up 40% of new car registrations and 50% of used cars. Eighty-five percent of our LuxuryVerse members are the sole or equal influence when it comes to car purchases in their household. In addition, many industry sources attribute the growth in luxury SUVs to women who like the space and the safety (also echoed by our members who rate safety as the #1 feature). Women are highly influential in luxury automotive. It is also clear that they do not see the depiction of women by car companies as aspirational; at best it is practical.
The Dealer is the Weakest Link
I feel like a car dealership is a foreign idea to me. It’s not fun to be at a luxury car dealership. I feel like the entertainment room and refreshments are just boring. – Anna, Millennial, LA
At the Mercedes dealership none of the sales associates were women or identified as women. I had to come back a second time with my male partner for this reason. Then when I did that, although the salesperson knew the car was for me, they directed all questions/answers to my partner. -Naomi, Millennial, Houston
There are so many complaints about the Point-of-Sale (aka the dealership). Gender stereotyping is rampant with many feeling like sales jargon is overused to pressure women into sales. The lack of women on the sales floor is mentioned repeatedly. But perhaps the most cutting comment is that it is not only a stressful, intimidating experience but it is also BORING. The experience of buying perhaps the most expensive luxury item you own and certainly the one that you are most likely to use on a daily basis should not be boring. Just visit a high-end jeweler for comparison, there is giddy anticipation, it feels sensorial and slightly over-the-top-in-a-good-way and there is an emotional connection with a good salesperson. If luxury auto dealers can’t deliver that, at the very least, they should try for slightly welcoming.
Despite Toxic Masculinity in Advertising, Women Still Want Nice Cars
Mercedes and BMW topped the list of cars owned by our members. Porsche was rated #1 as the car they most wanted next. Despite all the pain points felt by our female members, it didn’t seem to dissuade them from owning or buying an expensive, usually European car. So maybe the car companies don’t really need to do much because women are still coming to them? Besides, isn’t it hard to create global ad content that appeals to both men and women? While it may seem prudent to hold the status quo, we can look to an analogous category and see how that might end in disruption.
Beauty – A Case Study on Inclusivity-Based Disruption
Not too long-ago prestige beauty in the US was dominated by 3 big brands: Estée Lauder, Lancôme and Clinique. These brands spent heavily on advertising and their main distribution was department stores throughout the US. One opportunity for growth was reaching a broader audience, particularly as the US population became more diverse. These brands had the scale to increase their shade ranges to fit more skin tones and they began to feature models of different ethnicities in their advertising. It was a big step toward inclusivity, women could hopefully see their skin tones reflected in these models or at least in the photographed product array.
Waning of Traditional Advertising and Innovation at the POS Leads to New Entrants
These three brands were built on a model of advertising with big print and TV campaigns and shelf space in department stores. In the early 2000s, a new brand that did almost no advertising, but completely re-thought the in-store experience rose to the top. A Canadian makeup artist brand called MAC started growing by opening its own stores, replacing the commission-based department store clerks, with makeup artists. Not only did this line have a very broad product range to fit many more skin tones, but it also realized there was a huge opportunity to make the buying experience less intimidating and more fun. Loud music blared while a diverse group of men and women welcomed you to sit down and experiment with makeup. It was revolutionary.
A decade or so later another brand, seizing the power of social media and its ability to create a community led to the success of Fenty Beauty. Founded by Rihanna, it launched with a much broader shade range and content messaging tailored to social media that allowed even more women to see themselves as part of the brand. This coupled with a partnership from Sephora, a convenient and non-intimidating store experience led to another example of disruption through inclusivity.
Lessons (and Ideas) for Car Companies
Based on the case study, we think it simply is not enough to put more women in advertising. Not only do most of our LuxuryVerse members say car ads are meaningless to them, it feels like it would be a drop in the bucket when it comes to moving the needle. Ditto to the influencer partnerships which seem forced and inauthentic. The obvious place to shake up this traditional category is online and at the point-of-sale. Tesla has been a trail blazer when it comes to re-thinking the dealership (as noted by our LuxuryVerse members), but there is still plenty of opportunity for other brands to innovate:
Change is Coming
It feels like we are on the cusp of a seismic shift in our car culture. Elective Vehicles are going to change the brands we buy and how we service our cars. Gas stations and parking lots are being re-designed. On-line research has led to a new generation that is willing to skip a test drive. Far fewer teens are reaching the age of 18 with a driver’s license. The external factors shaping the auto industry are coming rapidly. But fundamentally, I think we will remain a culture that sees cars as a symbol of independence, freedom and self-expression. That said, rapid external change with an increasingly frustrated customer base, leads me to believe that, in just a few years, our car survey may look very different when it comes to most desired brands.

Florida Car Insurance: What are the requirements?
Auto insurance is mandated by law in the state of Florida. Minimum coverage starts at $10,000 (individual injuries), $20,000 (total injuries) and $20,000 (resulting property damage).
The above are the strict mandated minimums as required by law. It is just a starting point and your car insurance policy should be broader than that. As a result, there are a number of options for extra coverage and it is important to realize that analyzing these extras with the right people can save you thousands of dollars every year.

Uninsured motorists in Florida. One of the reasons for high auto insurance premiums
For some reason, Florida has the in-enviable distinction for the highest number of uninsured drivers at 23.8 % compared to the national average of 12.6 %
Number of auto thefts in Florida
Florida fares better than the rest of the nation in terms of car theft at 2.48 for 1,000 vehicles compared to 2.94 elsewhere.
When we buy a new car, auto theft rarely crosses our mind as a possibility that we might have to deal with. We think about other risks such accidents, vandalism etc... but theft is seldom something we focus on. Perhaps this is borne by the numbers as 2.48 cars are stolen for every 1000 cars and the odds of us featuring in that number are pretty poor. Nevertheless, it is important to secure a policy that includes total coverage for auto theft in the car insurance plan.
Take action now. Find a great Naples Car Insurance Policy

But we can help by finding you the best coverage at the most affordable price.

Universal Electronic Power Steering Kits work in conjunction with manual steering boxes and off-road rack pinions, which makes them ideal for sandrails, dune buggies, baja bugs, Manx Buggies, UTV Side X Side, and most vehicles with manual factory steering boxes. “The future of power steering has arrived without sacrificing horsepower,” remarks the company. Find out more about EPower Steering Kits on the company’s site. The universal fit system works well with vehicles that have around ten to twelve inches of steering shaft that can be removed. The unit uses an EPS motor that consists of a 12 volt brushed DC reversible motor with a 58-amp rating. The unit’s wattage varies but it can be expected to be around 750 watts when in use on a running vehicle. The systems work well on everything from off-road buggies to hot rods and muscle cars. The unit has also been proven on sportsman and pre-runner cars. E Power Steering uses an electric motor to provide the assist as opposed to hydraulic systems which use hydraulic pressure systems. The EPS system is more efficient, since it only needs to assist when the drive is steering instead of rotating the pump constantly.

The government regretted that the spillage of used petroleum products could destroy the roads.
The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said this on Saturday at the Town Hall Meeting of Stakeholders held at the Ogere end of the Lagos-Ibadan Highway.
Fashola, who was accompanied by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, said the Lagos-Ibadan highway built in 1974 and completed in 1978 was to promote north-south business activities.
Fashola, while reacting to the activities of truck and trailer drivers on the Lagos-Ibadan highway, told Federal Highway Safety Corps officials to enforce traffic enforcement on federal highways.
The minister blamed the activities of truck and trailer drivers on the delay in the completion of works on the Lagos-Ibadan highway.
Addressing them, Fashola said: “The point is that truck and trailer operation is a business if you want to operate fleets then you have to plan parking. If the government helps you, the government does it out of compassion, but you cannot run your business at the expense of the convenience and livelihood of millions of people.
“So the money that has been difficult to find and the road that has been difficult to build, they have already started to put diesel on it, that is the beginning of the destruction of the road and my call to you today is to leave immediately . I walk from today, immediately.
“Parking on the freeway is a violation of the Federal Highway Law that you (FRSC) have a duty to enforce, therefore, work with stakeholders, truck owners, the Kabiyesis (monarchs) and the state government , let’s find an immediate way to solve this problem so that contractors can complete their work and respond to those who say that (the Lagos-Ibadan highway project) is taking too long.
“This is part of the delay and it is not just to build the road, but also to ensure that it is used correctly and not abused.
“Pouring diesel on the road, changing oil (motor oil) on the road is an abuse of the road. It must be stopped in the interests of the truckers themselves because without roads, you have no business. Let’s just understand. “

This includes the Snowy Mountains region, including Kosciuszko National Park, where snow chains must be carried in all vehicles between June and October. They must be fitted to your vehicle if conditions require it, such as if the road is covered in snow or ice.
It’s important to ensure that your snow chains fit your vehicle properly and that you know how to fit them correctly. You can purchase or hire snow chains from most ski rental shops, service stations, and auto stores in the region. It’s also recommended to practice fitting your chains before you head out on your trip to ensure you can do it quickly and safely if conditions require it.
If you are driving in the Snowy Mountains region during the winter months, it’s essential to be prepared and carry snow chains with you, even if you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Snow chains can help provide traction and improve your vehicle’s handling on icy or snowy roads, helping to keep you and other road users safe.
A number of rental stops in Jindabyne, such as The Base Ski Hire, offer a range of chain sizes to suit most vehicles, | automotive |

Nearly 2.9 million motorcycles were sold in fiscal year 2016, from April 2015 to March 2016, by members of the Vietnam Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (VAMM), up 7 per cent compared to the previous fiscal year.
VAMM is yet to release specific sales figures for its five members but Honda Vietnam (HVN) reported holding 70 per cent of the market in fiscal year 2016.
According to Mr. Minoru Kato, General Director of the HVN, fiscal year 2016’s sales reached 2.03 million, 120,000 more than in fiscal year 2015.
Figures show that Vietnam’s motorcycle market in fiscal year 2016 did not fluctuate a great deal so the market share among manufacturers is therefore expected to see no significant change compared to 2015, when Honda led the market and was followed by Yamaha, Piaggio, SYM, and Suzuki.
The 7 per cent growth in fiscal year 2016 is considered a successful result for the five members of VAMM. The association has predicted it will be difficult to reach sales of 3 million in fiscal year 2017, even though Honda, Yamaha, and Piaggio plan to retain their current production capacity and boost their marketing campaigns. | automotive |

They fulfil numerous important tasks:
- gas seal of the combustion chamber
- regulation of the oil film at the cylinder surface
- heat removal from the piston to the cylinder
- minimisation of wear and tear of piston, cylinder and piston rings
In the process of continuous development of the combustion engine the thermic and mechanical stress on the parts grow while the dimensions shrink. The resulting demanding requirements have to be met with innovative technologies.
The development led from simple cast iron rings via steel rings on to coatings which reduce wear and tear.
Ring sets for petrol engines
Over the last few years great efforts have been made to reduce CO2 emissions by reducing fuel consumption in petrol engines. The following developments have taken place:
- reduced friction through the use of the ideal combination of piston rings
- axially thin compression and oil rings
- surface treatment (increased lifespan)
- optimisation of cross sections
Ring sets for diesel engines
In this area high speeds and a long lifespan are the most important factors.
For the first ring as well as for the two-piece oil control ring steel is being used and nitridation and PVD can be applied.
Medium-sized and larger engines (3- or 4-piece ring sets)
Higher performance with controlled emissions are the main criteria for these types of engine. For the first (and possibly the second) ring trapeze rings are being used which prevent the ring from getting stuck. In addition PVD coatings are also being applied.
The use of steel rings leads to a width and weight reduction.

Rolex UK, London, 2017 – The 2017 FORMULA 1 ROLEX BRITISH GRAND PRIX, held at Silverstone Circuit from 14 to 16 July 2017, is one of the greatest motor sport races in the world. The historical circuit hosted the very first round of the FIA Formula One World Championship™ when it began in 1950. Since then it has remained one of the oldest continuously staged Grand Prix’s in the FIA Formula One World Championship™, attracting passionate racing fans from across the world. This year, Rolex will be the F1® Event Title Partner of the iconic British race. Rolex has a history of partnering global sporting events in the United Kingdom including the world’s oldest tennis competition, The Championships, Wimbledon; and the prestigious golf classic and third Major of the year, The Open Championship, as Official Timekeeper since 1981. A Global Partner and the Official Timepiece of Formula 1® since 2013, Rolex’s commitment to the leading motor sport series exemplifies the brand’s ongoing quest for excellence and for pushing the boundaries of human and technical performance.
Rolex Testimonee and three-time FIA Formula One™ Drivers’ World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, who won the FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX in 1969 and 1971, said: “I love coming to Silverstone year after year, the British fans are incredibly passionate and the Paddock thrives off the public’s enthusiasm and interest in motor sport. It will be a big weekend for British sport and for Rolex, with Wimbledon also concluding on the same day as the race. I look forward to being a part of Rolex’s on-going support of sporting excellence.” Rolex welcomed nine-time Formula 1® Grand Prix winner and 2015 FIA World Endurance Champion, Mark Webber to its family of Testimonees at the start of the 2017 season. A truly multi-talented motor racing driver, Mark Webber succeeded in both Formula 1® and endurance racing, competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and racing at Europe’s oldest and most prestigious endurance race, 24 Hours of Le Mans. On winning the 2010 and 2012 FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX, Mark Webber said: “Having lived so close to Silverstone for many years, I have fond memories of racing and winning at this historic track. Silverstone has always been very fast, with its amazing sequence of corners; the change of direction at Becketts at maximum speed is astonishing and it will be particularly special this year with the increased downforce and wider tyres of the new cars. The race will mark the half way point of the season so there will be lots to play for at this year’s 2017 FORMULA 1 ROLEX BRITISH GRAND PRIX.”
A SUMMER OF BRITISH SPORT FOR ROLEX 2017 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™
The 2017 season marks the beginning of a new era of bold, breathtaking and faster Formula 1® racing thanks to the introduction of wider tyres and major technical changes aimed at increasing downforce.

In the early morning following a rough day at the Ford Dealership that left Leigh and I at odds and put Sunshine on borrowed time, I rolled over and told Leigh, “just list her on Craigslist and see what happens.”
Before we could even pull back the covers to fully get out of bed, the phone was ringing off the hook with people interested in buying our truck, and we already had our eye on an F-150 that was posted that morning as well. So in a wave of chaos, we had vacuums out to clean up Sunshine, phone calls and text messages from interested buyers and title paperwork all juggling and in a matter of hours she was sold! The kid that bought her may not have been the brightest bulb but he understood her issues and was willing to pay my price.
Before the dust settled and the realization set in that Sunshine was gone, we were out the door running errands and on our way to look at the F-150 we found on Craigslist that morning, which believe it or not it was less than 2 miles away. We took her for a drive, spent some time under the hood and talking with the owner, and when it was all said and done, we were proud owners of a great truck that was virtually made to haul our camper! We couldn’t have been happier about our crazy luck. Our troubles from the previous day faded into the excitement of our next chapter. The next day, with the truck in the driveway and the camper on its dolly, it came time to put 1 and 1 together. This proved to be tough and even a bit sketchy.
We had a pair of jacks that were made to lift the camper while you back the truck under it, but because the truck is bigger than the camper and the jacks are intended to fit, the jacks didn’t lift her high enough or provide enough clearance between them to allow the truck to back up. So we had to improvise and make room vertically and horizontally. This was in addition to the fact that just putting the camper into the “naked” truck bed wasn’t going to work, because the dimensions didn’t match. So with the help of Leigh’s dad and way too many trips to various hardware stores, we went to work.
The plan was to modify the bed I had built for Sunshine, and to add side cabinets under the camper’s wings to lift and stabilize the camper while in the truck bed. That seemed like a foolproof plan, but actually getting the camper into the truck was the sketchy part.
So we had the jacks on cinder blocks, and added a few custom extension brackets, which I pieced together with building supplies and bolts from Home Depot. We knew the truck would fit the set up horizontally, but vertically we knew it would come down to fractions of inches. So in unison, Leigh and I cranked up on the jacks as Leigh’s dad monitored our balance on the blocks, and the integrity of our homemade brackets.
By the time the jacks were topped out, the camper would sway a few gut-twisting inches to either side, and in a panic we realized we were short by maybe ¾ of an inch. Nearly defeated we had a stroke of “why didn’t we think of that earlier,” genius: let air out of the rear air bag suspension. With that last minute adjustment, we cleared the camper with barely a ¼ inch to spare.
With the camper on the truck, we went to work securing it and building the side cabinets. By the end I was pretty proud of us. Leigh painted the cabinets after I cut the wood, and Leigh’s dad helped me get the locks in.
So Sunny and the Skamp are now one, but the work is far from over. On the short list: a new faucet and maybe even a shower line running out the side, replacing the roof vent, and new curtains. We have tons of other plans as well so check back! | automotive |

Often it is the unwritten that are most important. When driving in Spain, I quickly realized that one of the unwritten rules was that the car ahead in traffic had the right of way. It could be only an inch, but that was enough to give that driver freedom to move over. It did not matter if they were on the left or the right. Once I figured that out, driving was easier and much safer. A friend who lived in Italy for a few years explained the lack of lines on the streets (other than center lines) by explaining that this was the way every Italian could have his own lane.
South Africa has some special rules of its own in addition to the fact that they drive, like the British and Australians, on the left side of the road. Fortunately, this time we started driving in a country area and not in downtown Sidney as happened on our visit there. It also helps to have a navigator and backseat drivers remind you when you stray a bit too far to the left or begin driving on the wrong side. We have a stick shift which I was a bit nervous about, but that has not been a particular problem. The difficulty has been the turn signal. In our first vehicle, it was on the right side of the steering wheel and I kept turning on the windshield wipers when trying to signal a turn. Our second car has them on the left side, but by then I was used to the other side and still made a few mistakes, bringing a few more laughs from the passengers.
South Africa does not allow free left turns on a stop light, but apparently they do allow you to go through a red light when moving across lanes. That one really surprised me the first time I saw it. On a divided highway with a stop light, the car in front of me used our green light to move between the lanes and after stopping went through the red light to move on treating it just like a stop light. Another stop light action to get used to is the fact that blinking lights are not the same. A blinking green just means that the light is getting ready to change, not that it is ok to go. I almost got caught on that one once.
South Africans are among the most polite drivers we have seen, fitting the kindness we have felt everywhere. There are a few divided highways, but most of the major roads are two lane undivided highways with few intersections, if any. However, most of these roads are extra wide which allows for safe passing. The white center line is similar to ours in that solid means unsafe to pass. The outside line is yellow. The difference here is that the space outside the yellow line is really wide enough for a car. This allows cars and trucks to drive along the edge safely and allow others to pass. I have seen this occasionally in the US, particularly on the I-5 in southern Oregon where big heavy trucks driving uphill will pull way over effectively creating a third lane. Here, both trucks and cars either spend most of their time outside the yellow line or will move over when a car approaches who obviously needs to pass. The extra space also gives the oncoming traffic room to move out of the way meaning the passing car has even more space. Then the passing car will use the emergency flasher for a short pulse to acknowledge the kindness of the driver who moved over. Jim, my co-pilot, has made sure that happens for us.
We have also had to get used to all the pedestrians. They seem to be everywhere because so many people don't have cars. In some cases, it is even essential to cross a busy main road to get from one side to the other. In addition, many of the people are waiting for one of the minivan taxis that carry people everywhere. Often there are 10 – 15 people waiting in line for one of these 15-seat vans that seem to always be full when we pass them on the road. Out in the country, we will sometimes see people using their thumb trying to hitch a ride or holding out money showing they are willing to pay. Sometimes the person who stops will simply let them ride in the back of a truck where they will often stand. We even saw one riding on a trailer hitch.
Finally, big trucks have to be off the road after dark, making that time a much safer time to be driving. | automotive |

When researching positions, look for details on sponsorship requirements, visa types offered, training programs, and other key details to find the right fit.
Requirements for Visa Sponsorship
While each company will have their own specific requirements, there are some common standards truck drivers must meet to qualify for visa sponsorship:
- Licensing: Must possess a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and keep a clean driving record.
- English proficiency: Fluency in written and spoken English is required for safe operation.
- Experience: Many sponsors require 1-2 years of recent experience operating a commercial motor vehicle.
- Medical fitness: Drivers must pass DOT medical exam ensuring they are physically fit for the demands of the job.
- Essential skills: Safe driving skills, navigation abilities, technical aptitude, customer service skills.
- Background checks: Companies will vet candidates’ criminal, employment, and driving histories.
Meeting these prerequisites is key for securing sponsorship. Some companies may also require interviews, drug tests, and ongoing performance reviews.
Steps to Getting a Visa Sponsored Truck Driving Job
If you meet the basic requirements, here are the typical steps to land a visa sponsored truck driver position:
- Obtain your CDL: Enroll in a truck driving school and complete training to get your Commercial Driver’s License.
- Connect with sponsor companies: Reach out to trucking companies that offer visa sponsorship and inquire about open positions.
- Complete the job application: Follow the sponsor’s application process and provide all required paperwork.
- Interview for the position: If selected, interview with the trucking company’s recruiters.
- Receive the job offer: If hired, the company will provide you with an official job offer letter.
- File your visa petition: Work with the company to file the appropriate visa petition with USCIS.
- Attend your visa interview: Once approved, attend your visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate.
- Begin working: Once you receive the visa, you can start your new job as a sponsored truck driver.
The key is identifying sponsors, demonstrating your qualifications, securing the job offer, and efficiently navigating the visa process.

For ambitious drivers who meet the prerequisites, visa sponsorship represents an outstanding chance to launch a stable and rewarding trucking career in the United States of America.
Challenges of a Truck Driving Career
While a sponsored truck driving job certainly has many advantages, it’s important to be aware of the potential downsides and challenges:
- Long hours and tight delivery schedules
- Weeks or months away from home at a time

- Risk of exploitation or abuse by employers
Being prepared for these realities and getting support from fellow drivers, unions, and advocacy groups can help you cope with the tough aspects of the job.
Truck driver jobs with visa sponsorship provide an excellent opportunity for qualified foreign nationals to live and work legally in America while earning good wages in a growing occupation. Though the road has some bumps, the rewards of successful sponsorship – stability, adventure, and financial security – make truck driving a career path worth serious consideration.

During university vacations I worked at Tom Wheatcroft’s Donnington Collection, restoring and preserving historic race cars. I have also worked at March Engineering, Bicester, gaining race engineering experience alongside Robin Herd and Harvey Postlethwaite with drivers Ronnie Peterson, Niki Lauda and James Hunt; for a young engineer this was paradise.
After the time spent at Rolls Royce, I spent most of my adult life in the oil and gas exploration business, providing high integrity petrophysical data to the major oil companies worldwide.
I have raced a Brabham BT21, Lotus 20, Ferrari 355C and a variety of vintage cars with some success in the UK, Europe and South Africa, but have recently released my International historic race licence to concentrate more on my collection of vintage and classic touring cars, notably Lagonda, Bristol and Ferrari.
I am a Freeman of the City of London and a Liveryman with the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers where I’m involved in charitable work helping young people obtain skills and qualifications in historic vehicle restoration.
What was your first car?
Austin A35, subsequently fitted with a Shorrock supercharger.
What has been your favourite car that you’ve owned?
Ferrari 550M, which I still own. This is such a gutsy car, without fussy electronic aids, and yet has beautiful lines and form. If I may be bold, I would suggest it’s a proper chaps car.
What car do you most regret selling?
A difficult question and too many to list, but if I may be allowed to mention two, it would be a Brabham BT21 1.0L F3 car and an Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Vantage.
What is your dream 3 car garage?
Lagonda LG45 Rapide in BRG, Aston Martin DB5 in Burnt Almond, and a Jaguar E-Type S2 Roadster in Ice Blue.
Why did you become a patron of Hangar 136?
From an early age I have been passionate about high-end automotive engineering, speed and prestigious marques of motor car. Correspondingly, it is a privilege to be involved with Hanger 136 and to be able to contribute as they build their business. I hope to bring best practice and guidance in business transparency, integrity and ethics and some long held knowledge of motor cars. | automotive |

7 Things to Know About Rental Car Coverage
After a car accident, you have enough things to worry about. Getting to work the next day shouldn’t be one of them.
We’ve all been there—and arranging alternate transportation while your vehicle is in a repair shop can be a hassle. But rental reimbursement coverage can help alleviate some stress after an accident while also saving you money.
Here are seven things you should know about before buying rental car reimbursement coverage:
1. It’s optional.
Rental reimbursement coverage does not automatically apply after an accident. As an optional coverage, it must be purchased separately. A common misconception is that auto insurance automatically covers the cost of a replacement rental car. In reality, you often have to select this coverage and apply it to the policy.
2. There is a limit.
You’ll likely have a per day and per occurrence limit. For example, if you have a 25/750 limit, your insurance company will pay up to $25 per day but no more than $750 per claim for the rental vehicle. Most insurance companies will offer several different options, allowing you to choose the limit that is right for you.
3. Your vehicle must be in the shop due to a covered loss.
Rental reimbursement coverage can be used while your vehicle is being repaired after an accident or another covered loss, not for routine maintenance or leisure. So, if your car is at the body shop after an accident, a rental car is covered up to your limit. But if your car is undergoing routine maintenance that will keep it in the shop overnight or you are renting a vehicle for a family road trip, then rental reimbursement coverage would not apply.
4. You can use it right away.
After reporting a claim, if your vehicle isn’t drivable, you can be authorized for a rental car right away. Otherwise, you will be relying on the at-fault driver’s insurance company, and you may have to wait a little while before they can assess the claim and agree to pay for a rental car. With rental reimbursement coverage, there’s no waiting.
5. No need to worry about additional insurance.
For the most part, when you have collision and comprehensive coverages in your auto insurance policy, it will transfer to the rental vehicle, eliminating the need to purchase additional coverage from the car rental agency. Check with your Grange agent, who will be able to tell you when this applies.
6. You may not need it at all.
If you have access to another vehicle, rideshare service or public transportation in the event your vehicle isn’t drivable, you may not need rental reimbursement coverage. But if you prefer the safety net of having a rental available if you need it, you may want to opt-in to this coverage.
7. It costs less than you might expect.
One year of rental reimbursement coverage will typically cost less than one day of out-of-pocket rental car expenses.

Drive for Uber or Lyft? Mind your insurance gap
With ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft, now anyone with a smartphone can become a driver for hire where, instead of flagging down the car like a passing taxi, customers use a mobile app to request and pay for a ride.
But here’s the catch. Since many of the drivers who work for ridesharing companies do not have a livery driver’s license and their cars are neither registered nor insured as commercial vehicles, it creates an insurance gap, or a period of time when they are underinsured and taking on more financial risk.
Companies like Uber and Lyft are called a Transportation Network Company (TNC) and there are different coverage periods for these drivers. If you drive for a TNC, make sure you know the three distinct coverage periods and the insurance coverage you need at each time.
Period one: The app is turned on and the driver is waiting for a fare.
Period two: The fare has been accepted and the driver is on the way to pick up the passenger.
Period three: The passenger is in the car.
Right now, TNCs only provide full coverage in periods two and three, meaning drivers are likely to be underinsured during period one, which begins the moment they turn on the app, but before they accept a fare. And some drivers may not be aware of this gap in insurance coverage. If there is an accident during period one, the driver may be on the hook to cover the cost of some liability damages and have no coverage to repair their vehicle. Different ridesharing companies have different coverages during this period, so adding a specific rideshare gap endorsement onto their personal auto insurance policy could keep the driver fully insured.
If you’re thinking about driving for a TNC, ask what level of coverage it provides during each period. Drivers should also contact their own auto insurer to address gaps, if any, in their liability protection. It is also recommended that TNC drivers review a copy of their TNC’s insurance contracts so they know the exact terms and conditions of the coverage.
Knowing your insurance needs as a ridesharing driver doesn’t have to be complicated. Your local independent agent can help guide you through it and make sure you have the insurance protection you need.

There is much more to auto insurance than you think
What is personal auto insurance and why is it so important? It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy.
Auto insurance provides property, liability and medical coverage:
Property coverage pays for damage to or theft of your car.
• Liability coverage pays for your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage. In the state of Ohio, you are required by law to carry a minimum of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury liability and $25,000 for property damage liability.
• Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses.
Most states require you to buy some, but not all, of these coverages. If you're financing a car, your lender may also have requirements.
Personal auto policies have a term of six months or a year. Your insurance company will notify you by mail when it's time to renew the policy and to pay your premium.
Why do you need car insurance?
It's really all about protecting yourself financially.
• If you're in an accident or your car is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.
• If you or any passengers are injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.
• If you or your car is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be sued for much more than you're worth.
Not only is having insurance a prudent financial decision, many states require you to have at least some coverage.
Questions to ask about your personal car insurance.
Williamson Insurance is an advocate for finding auto insurance that meets your specific needs. Here are a few things to consider as you prepare for the discussion:
• How much can you afford to pay if you get in an accident? (To keep premiums low you may want to have a higher deductible and be willing to pay more for repairs.)
• What is the insurance company's level of service and ability to pay claims?
• What discounts are available? (Ask about good driver and student discounts.) You can also take advantage of large discounts on your auto insurance with a multi-policy discount by bundling your homeowner, renters, mobile home or condo insurance with the same agency and company.
• What's the procedure for filing and settling a claim? (Ask who to call and what happens after you file a claim.)

Teaching Your Teen to Drive Without Losing Your Sanity
So your teen has a learner’s permit in his or her hot little hand. The chance to get behind the wheel is no doubt something your child has looked forward to with great longing and you, perhaps, with somewhat less.
The fear is real
Getting into a 4,000-pound vehicle that your child is going to slowly pilot around the block is scary. Yes, a trip around the block will possibly be all your nerves can stand on the first go-round, or perhaps you’ll need to start with merely pulling into and out of the driveway a few times first. Some parents will drive their child to an enormous abandoned parking lot and confirm for themselves that their child has a good grasp of starting, stopping, and turning before unleashing the budding young driver on an actual street.
How you handle the first drive will depend a bit on where you live. Those who live in a rural area are probably going to feel a little safer hitting the road in front of their house than those who live in a big city with heavy traffic near their homes. Also consider how well your child has done in driver’s education so far.
Naturally you’re going to emphasize safe driving rules, such as wearing a seatbelt and putting the cell phone where it can’t be seen during the driving lesson. This is also a moment of truth for you—if your driving habits have been less than stellar, clean them up. As in every other parenting endeavor, kids watch what you do more than they listen to what you say. Now, more than ever, is the time to model safe driving.
Do not expect your child to be a perfect driver from the get-go. Driving, like any other skill, has to be learned. Offer constructive feedback. Try not to yell, even if one of your child’s moves genuinely rattles you.
Watch the jokes
While jokes about crazy new drivers abound, try not to joke too much about your child’s driving, and don’t do it at all during lessons. Yes, you may develop extra gray hair during this process, but teaching your child to be a safe driver is serious business. Your child needs to know that you believe in his or her ability to be trusted to drive safely. It’s better for your teen to overhear you saying he or she is doing quite well behind the wheel than to overhear you joking that you needed sedation after the first lesson.
Once your child has a good grasp on basic maneuvering, have some lessons at night, in the rain, and if possible, on snowy or icy streets. It will not always be a bright, clear day when your child drives, and it’s better for him or her to learn how to handle difficult conditions with you there to offer advice. Remind your child to continuously be on the look-out for cars that suddenly slow down, cars parked along the shoulder, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians—in short, to be aware of all surroundings at all times.
Another important thing to do after basic skills are learned is to teach your child to do at least some of the driving on longer outings. Learning to drive for longer periods without falling to highway hypnosis is an important skill. This is especially true if your child has always been the type to fall asleep during long car trips. And don’t just drive on familiar streets close to home. Eventually, work your way into driving on unfamiliar streets. Make sure your child is comfortable on a country lane at night, a city street at rush hour, and on the Interstate anytime.
Bring in Grandma
If you find that your driving sessions become too nerve-wracking, there’s no shame in handing this duty over to your spouse or a grandparent. Sometimes a teen is less nervous about learning with someone else. The main objective is to make sure your son or daughter is a safe, responsible driver, so do whatever it takes to get there.
You’ll probably be required to keep track of how many hours your teen drives; don’t forget to keep an accurate record of this.
Take it up a level
For bonus points, teach your child how to drive a stick shift. Though automatic transmissions are obviously much more popular, there are occasional times when knowing how to drive a stick will come in handy, such as when one needs to drive someone else’s car or when renting a car in a foreign country. Plus, it’s a skill that gives real street cred.
Good luck, and enjoy the eventual payoff: being able to send your teen to run errands for you.

12 Summer Driving Safety Tips Before You Set Out on a Road Trip
Summer is a time of spontaneity and sunshine, a time when people want to pack up and go somewhere new. After a long winter, you may be ready to jump in your car for a quick weekend road trip. Don’t be caught unprepared and have your dream vacation turn into your worst nightmare.
To have an accident-free road trip, outing, or fair-weather adventure without mishaps or disasters, consider the following 12 summer driving safety tips before you turn the key in that ignition and head out with friends or family.
Be fun, be safe, and be prepared with these summer driving safety tips
Avoid roadside breakdowns, accidents, injuries, and misfortunes that quickly turn a fun road trip to a standstill, or worse, a day at the mechanic, hospital, or police station. That's not where you want to spend your time, so plan wisely and enjoy.
1. Cue up the music and put away your phone
We all know phone use and electronic distractions cause accidents, yet according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 660,000 drivers are still using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, and the number is rising. More than a quarter of car crashes can be attributed to cell phone use. Don’t be a statistic; prepare your soundtrack ahead of time, and only check your messages when you've stopped for a break.
2. Eat outdoors
A moving car does not a picnic make. A car is for driving, getting from one place to another, and not for dining. Summer road trips are meant to be enjoyed. Stop and eat where you can take in the scenery and savor your meal.
3. Be a master navigator
Let’s face it: getting lost on a road trip is the worst. Losing satellite feeds and battery power can cause you to lose your way. Plan ahead, and plot out your trip. Make sure your GPS device is charged and you have a paper map in hand in case your electronics fail you. Most importantly, program your route before you leave so you will not be distracted on the road. If you need to change course, make sure a passenger in the car can assist you. If not, pull over!
4. Check your tires
Summer weather can be brutal, and heat can cause tires to expand and trigger blowouts if your wheels are worn. Check your tires on a regular basis if you'll be driving in the heat. Also, ensure your spare is usable and that your jack and other tools are in good condition before you head out on a road trip.
5. Beat the heat
Your car isn’t the only thing at risk for overheating; you are too! Make sure you pack bottled water for drinking and keep a gallon of water in your trunk for emergencies. If your car overheats, which is common when you need to rely on an air conditioner, pull over and let it cool off.
The sun will also beat down on your dashboard, steering wheel, seats, and seatbelts. They may be painful to the touch. Using a sun shield when you’re parked can be very helpful and can also offer privacy.
6. Slow down
Rushing and feeling pressured to meet timelines is stressful on any vacation. When you're on a road trip, it can also be fatal if you’re speeding. According to the NHTSA, speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to crashes, and 28 percent of all fatal crashes are attributed to speeding. Stay safe. Slow down and enjoy the trip.
7. Share the fun
If your road trip is a long one, take turns driving. Drowsy driving can lead to serious, if not fatal, car accidents. If you are alone, make sure you break up the trip, take naps as needed, refresh with energy drinks or caffeine, and stay hydrated!
8. Don't drink and drive
It goes without saying that an adult beverage, if you are of age, is a welcome part of summer festivities and celebrations. It is not, however, a welcome addition to a road trip. Don’t drink alcohol if you are going to be behind the wheel. Be responsible and avoid endangering yourself, your loved ones, and innocent strangers by not drinking and driving.
9. Tailgate off road, not on
Tailgate is a word with two meanings. You can tailgate with food, but not with distance. At 60 mph, a typical car needs between 120 and 140 feet to reach a full stop. Most SUVs require an extra 5 to 10 feet on top of that. Keep your distance from the car in front of you, and save the tailgating for your destination or picnic break (see tip #2!).
10. Join a roadside rescue service
Breaking down on the road or away from home can really ruin a fun time and derail summer road trips. Have convenient access to services that get you off the road, to safety, and then back on track to your destination. Here at Pekin Insurance, we're always available to help you.
11. Be in charge
Keep your car battery, your cell phone, and your GPS charged. Don't forget to pack your jumper cables, either. Also, consider pre-charged, portable, cordless cell phone chargers, so if your car dies, you cell phone won’t, and you can still get in touch with roadside assistance.
12. Have an emergency kit
Roadside flares, a first aid kit, extra oil, spare fuses, a flashlight with fresh batteries, and a tire inflator are some essential items to have on hand in your car. For the summer, consider having a sheet in the back for the beach, for sleeping, and to use as a makeshift changing room if needed. Don’t forget water to keep you hydrated and your car cool.
Ride easy with these summer driving safety tips. If you plan to embrace your family, friends, and a new destination on a road trip, play it safe. Before you get on the road this summer, make sure your automobile insurance coverage is up to par. We have the perfect auto insurance plans that can be tailored to your needs.
If you have any summer driving tips, let our readers know by leaving them in the comments section below.

K40’s LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) radar receivers are the latest in countermeasure technology for long-range detection of police radar guns. LNA technology boosts the radar signal and sensitivity giving you increased range and performance. You get quicker alerts and more time to slow down, giving you the confidence that your radar detector is going to “find them…before they fine you”.
Designed With Your Car In Mind
Today’s vehicles are designed to maximize technology with little wasted space. These new receivers are completely redesigned, inside and out. Cosmetically, the receivers have a slimmer, narrower flat-top design allowing for more creativity and ease of installation. And internally, the receivers are packed with tech that will give you more features and driving freedom.
Not only do the Platinum Series K40 receivers improve range and performance, but we’ve also engineered these systems with more selectivity and filtration options (more on those another day). These receivers also give your Platinum Series system immunity to RDD’s, or Radar Detector Detectors. The police won’t even know that you are driving with a K40 radar detection system. This feature is great if you’re driving through Washington D.C., Virginia, or parts of Canada where the use of radar detectors is restricted.

THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE IS DYING.
The basic technology that drives most automobiles today, the in-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE), is well over a century old. At their peak, these engines yield a maximium of 35%-40% efficiency, with an average efficiency closer to 20%. Most of the energy in a gallon of fuel is wasted. Where does this lost energy go? It is converted to heat which eventually ends up in the earth's atmosphere. Engineers have added increasingly complex fuel, ignition, exhaust, cooling, and electronic control and diagnostic systems over the years, only marginally increasing the engine's efficiency while adding to its weight, cost, and complexity.
Along with the excessive heat which is released, the ICE also releases a number of polutants into the atmosphere. A perfectly-designed engine should release only carbon dioxide and water, but even today's engines -- after more than a century of development -- are far from perfect. Increasingly complex and expensive emissions controls systems have been added over the years, only marginally reducing the harmful polutants while again increasing weight, cost, and complexity.
Electric motors, on the other hand, can achieve 75%-90%+ efficiency, with very little energy lost in the form of heat. Less heat and virtually no pollutants are released into the atmosphere. An electric powertrain is very simple, primarily consisting of one or more electric motors, a system of electronics for controlling motor operation, a battery, and a charging system. Pound for pound, an electric motor also produces much more torque than an ICE, thus providing superior performance.
Not only is the internal combustion engine dying, but so is the transportation industry as we know it. Fuel prices, environmental concerns, and global economics have turned the largest automotive companies upside down. More people than ever are now turning to smaller, inexpensive vehicles and mass transit. It's now more important than ever for those of us who represent vehicle and parts manufacturers, service providers, government agencies, educational institutions, retailers, and driver communities to stay informed on the rapidly evolving world of Electric Vehicles.

However, they are also more vulnerable on the road than cars, leading to an increased risk of accidents. One of the most pressing questions for road safety experts is: What is the most common type of collision between cars and motorcycles? To answer this question, we will delve into the statistics and factors that contribute to motorcycle-car collisions.
Table of Contents
Understanding the Scope of Motorcycle-Car Collisions
To understand the most common type of collision between cars and motorcycles, we must first examine the broader picture of motorcycle accidents. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States, motorcycle accidents accounted for 14% of all traffic-related fatalities in 2021, despite motorcycles making up just 3% of registered vehicles. This stark disproportion emphasizes the significance of studying these incidents and the need to identify the most common collision types.
Common Types of Motorcycle-Car Collisions
- Intersection Collisions: Intersection collisions are one of the most common types of accidents involving motorcycles and cars. These occur when a motorcycle and a car intersect at a junction, such as an intersection with or without traffic lights or stop signs. The motorcycle rider may be proceeding straight, turning left, or turning right. Often, the car driver fails to yield the right of way to the motorcycle or misjudges the motorcycle’s speed, resulting in a collision.
- Lane Changing Collisions: Lane-changing collisions happen when a car changes lanes without noticing an approaching motorcycle in its blind spot or misjudges the motorcycle’s speed. These accidents often occur on highways and multi-lane roads, where cars frequently change lanes to pass slower-moving vehicles.
- Rear-End Collisions: In rear-end collisions involving motorcycles and cars, a car strikes the rear of a motorcycle, often while both vehicles are traveling in the same direction. These accidents can occur when the car driver fails to maintain a safe following distance or does not notice the motorcycle slowing down or stopping.
- Left-Turn Collisions: Left-turn collisions are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists. They occur when a car makes a left turn at an intersection or driveway and collides with an oncoming motorcycle. These accidents often happen because the car driver fails to see the motorcycle or misjudges its distance and speed.
Several factors contribute to the prevalence of these common motorcycle-car collision types:
- Visibility: Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars, making it easier for car drivers to overlook them, especially in blind spots.
- Speed Differential: Motorcycles can accelerate and decelerate more rapidly than cars, leading to speed differentials that car drivers may not anticipate.
- Driver Behavior: Human error, such as distracted driving, impaired driving, or failure to yield the right of way, plays a significant role in motorcycle-car collisions.
- Road Conditions: Poor road conditions, such as potholes, gravel, or wet surfaces, can be particularly hazardous for motorcycles due to their less stable nature.
The most common types of collisions between cars and motorcycles include intersection collisions, lane-changing collisions, rear-end collisions, and left-turn collisions. These accidents often result from factors such as reduced visibility, speed differentials, driver behavior, and road conditions. To reduce the frequency of these collisions and improve road safety for motorcyclists, both car drivers and motorcyclists must exercise caution, awareness, and defensive driving techniques. Additionally, road infrastructure and public awareness campaigns should be designed to address the unique challenges faced by motorcyclists on the road. | automotive |

The much-treasured Mrs Holden’s Holden – a 48-215 model also known as the Holden FX – will be staying at the National Motor Museum permanently following a State Government acquisition to preserve a part of the State’s history.
It comes as visitor numbers to the museum jumped by 42 per cent over the past financial year – from 44,456 in 2021-21 to 62,884 in 2022-23 – with specialised collections driving the jump.
Mrs Holden’s Holden was owned by a private collector, and through a generous long-term loan, has been on display at the National Motor Museum but the owner’s desire to sell the car risked losing an important part of South Australia’s heritage.
Built in Adelaide and assembled in Victoria in 1948, Mrs Holden’s Holden is one the first Holdens sold. The very first Holden is also on display at the National Motor Museum.
The museum is host to Holden Heroes: 1948 to 2017 a retrospective that showcases 18 of the most special vehicles from Holden’s Heritage Collection thanks to a partnership with General Motors.
On display is the Hurricane (1969), the unique Torana GTR-X (1970), as well as the Number One Holden (1948) and the very last Australian made Holden, a VF Commodore Series II SS Redline (2017).
GM plays a significant role in South Australia’s cultural and economic history and its important these relics are celebrated and not forgotten.
This year, GM celebrates the 75th anniversary of the release of its first all-Australian manufactured car. Mrs Holden’s Holden is now permanently on display in the National Motor Museum’s exhibition Sunburnt Country.
For more information on the National Motor Museum visit
Quotes attributable to Blair Boyer
I am thrilled we have been able to support the permanent public display of a significant piece of South Australia’s automotive history.
The Holden 48-215 became the first mass-manufactured and sold car in Australia and Adelaide is the home of Holden, and its birthplace. Its origin story runs deep in our state and of course Mrs Holden is a part of that story.
The vehicle also reflects South Australians’ innovation and engineering skills and can inspire future generations of innovators.
Quotes attributable to History Trust CEO, Greg Mackie OAM
Significant vehicles like this are one of the driving reasons people visit the National Motor Museum.
The History Trust has over 350 vehicles on display in the Museum.
Many are exceptionally rare, and others simply evoke nostalgia and fond memories.
I encourage you to visit the National Motor Museum in Birdwood and see this beautiful vehicle up close. | automotive |

The Fate of the Final 37: How North Wilkesboro’s Last NASCAR Cup Race Changed the Lives of Its Drivers
Use the words “iconic photo” and “North Wilkesboro” in the same breath, and most drivers know the one you’re talking about.
It’s the one that captures the fronstretch of a bittersweet day at North Wilkesboro Speedway. It features a young Jeff Gordon kneeling at the start-finish line. Dale Earnhardt is pictured sitting in the row behind him. Every other driver in the entry list of that September 1996 race — the last time the NASCAR Cup Series visited North Wilkesboro Speedway before leaving and almost never coming back — was photographed, too.
But what happened to those drivers after that historic race? Where are they now? And why did NASCAR leave this legendary track?
In this blog post, we’ll explore the stories behind this iconic photo and how North Wilkesboro’s last NASCAR Cup race changed the lives of its drivers.
What happened in the final Cup race at North Wilkesboro?
The final Cup race at North Wilkesboro was called the Tyson Holly Farms 400. It took place on Sept. 29, 1996, and it was won by Jeff Gordon, who led 207 laps out of 400.
Gordon and Dale Earnhardt battled for the lead in the second half of the race, with Gordon taking the lead for good with 79 laps to go. There were just four cautions in the race, and all 37 cars were running at the finish. Eleven cars were on the lead lap at the end.
Gordon extended his 1996 points lead with four races remaining but eventually lost the 1996 title to teammate Terry Labonte.
Why did NASCAR leave North Wilkesboro?
There were a couple of factors that led to NASCAR leaving North Wilkesboro. One was that the track was aging and lacked modern facilities that other newer tracks had at the time. The track was also the smallest by capacity on the schedule by 1996.
Another factor was that the track’s shares were bought separately by SMI founder Bruton Smith and New Hampshire Motor Speedway owner Bob Bahre before the start of the 1996 season. Once that occurred, North Wilkesboro Speedway’s fate was sealed.
New Hampshire ended up with the September date, and Texas got North Wilkesboro’s April race date.
Many fans and drivers were saddened by NASCAR’s departure from North Wilkesboro, which had hosted two Cup races per year since 1957 and was one of NASCAR’s original tracks.
Where are they now? The stories behind the final 37 drivers
So what happened to those drivers who raced in North Wilkesboro’s last NASCAR Cup race? Some ended up becoming racing legends. Others have since passed away. And some are living new lives across the country.
Here is a look at where all the drivers from that last NASCAR Cup Series race at North Wilkesboro Speedway are today — or close to today, at least. The drivers are ordered by their finishing position from that Sept. 1996 race.
- P1, Jeff Gordon. Since his North Wilkesboro win, Gordon has been everywhere — from hosting Saturday Night Live, to working for Fox Sports as a racing analyst, to assuming the role of vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, where he currently works. He wrapped up his NASCAR Cup Series career with 93 wins (third-most all-time) and four Cup championships, and his star power helped thrust NASCAR into its golden years in the late 90s and early 2000s before retiring in 2015.
- P2, Dale Earnhardt. The Intimidator continued to be one of NASCAR’s most dominant and popular drivers until his tragic death in a crash on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. He won his seventh and final Cup championship in 1994 and finished second in points four times after that. He also founded Dale Earnhardt Inc., which fielded cars for his son Dale Jr., Steve Park, Michael Waltrip, and others.
- P3, Dale Jarrett. Jarrett went on to win three more races in 1996 and claimed his first and only Cup championship in 1999. He also won two more Daytona 500s in 1996 and 2000, becoming one of only six drivers to win three or more of NASCAR’s biggest race. He retired from full-time racing in 2008 and became a broadcaster for ESPN and NBC Sports.
- P4, Jeff Burton. Burton became one of NASCAR’s most consistent drivers in
the late 90s and early 2000s, winning 21 races and finishing in the top five in points four times. He also earned respect as a leader and a spokesman for driver safety issues. He retired from full-time racing in 2014 and joined NBC Sports as a racing analyst.
- P5, Terry Labonte. Labonte won his second Cup championship in 1996, edging out teammate Jeff Gordon by 37 points. He also won two more races after that, including his final win at Darlington in 2003. He retired from full-time racing in 2004 but made occasional starts until his final race at Talladega in 2014.
- P6, Rick Mast. Mast never won a Cup race but came close several times,
including finishing second at Pocono in 1997. He retired from racing in
2002 after being diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. He later
became involved in bourbon distilling and co-founded Rack & Mast
- P7, Ricky Rudd. Rudd was known as one of NASCAR’s toughest drivers,
racing with injuries such as a separated shoulder and a swollen eye.
He won six more races after North Wilkesboro, including his final win
at Sonoma in 2002. He retired from full-time racing in 2005 but made a
comeback with Robert Yates Racing in 2007 before retiring for good.
- P8, Bobby Hamilton. Hamilton won four Cup races in his career,
including two with Petty Enterprises in 1996 and 1997. He also won
the Craftsman Truck Series championship in 2004 as an owner-driver.
He died of cancer in 2007 at age 49.
- P9, Mark Martin. Martin is widely regarded as one of NASCAR’s greatest
drivers never to win a Cup championship. He finished second in points
five times, including four times to Jeff Gordon. He won 40 Cup races
and a record-tying five IROC titles. He retired from full-time racing
in 2013 but made a few starts afterward until his final race at Las
Vegas in 2015.
- P10, Rusty Wallace. Wallace was one of NASCAR’s most successful
and charismatic drivers, winning 55 Cup races and the 1989 Cup
championship. He also had a long-running rivalry with Dale Earnhardt.
He retired from racing in 2005 and became a broadcaster for ESPN
and MRN Radio.

Our research suggests there is a market for an online only product. We wanted a cost-effective, best-of-breed package that would deliver straight-through processing” said Tom King, head of international operations at Progressive. “SSP and S4i [now SSP Pure Insurance] enabled us to get our Australia program off the ground quickly and within budget.”
Commenting on the implementation, King said, “S4i has lived up to its reputation. Its flexibility and core capabilities were a key factor in ensuring we completed this project on time and on budget. The combination of SSP’s experience in transacting car insurance and their knowledge of the Australian insurance market increased our speed to market.”
Since 1937, drivers have trusted Progressive for their car insurance. Fast. Fair. Better. That’s what customers can expect from Progressive Direct. Everything they do acknowledges the needs of busy customers who are cost-conscious and increasingly savvy about auto insurance and good service. | automotive |

Design Automation of Cyber-Physical Systems: System-Level Approaches for Energy-Aware Electric Vehicle Design and Management
Abstract: Why do we drive electric vehicles? It is not easy to say that electric vehicles are higher performance compared with similar price range of internal combustion engine vehicles. There are financial benefits including Government subsidies and tax deduction, which cannot be sustainable. A low maintenance cost is a good advantage, but vehicle depreciation is a big question. Therefore, environmental friendliness should be one clear motivation to drive electric vehicles.
However, electric vehicles are only “zero exhaust emission” because of tire and brake emissions, which occupy a large portion of the total vehicle emissions. Even putting aside the tire and brake emissions, electric vehicles still contribute to significant amount of pollution because of the source of electricity. Electric vehicles produce less than a half of equivalent exhaust emissions compared with gasoline vehicles and not much different from that of hybrid vehicles. Higher MPGe (mile per gallon gasoline equivalent) of electric vehicles can largely mislead the energy efficiency when it comes to “well to wheel” efficiency taking the entire energy ecosystem into account.
It is challenging to make electric vehicles more fuel-efficient because the key powertrain components are already highly efficient, and therefore, there is a very narrow headroom for further enhancement. Consequently, the challenges for extended range of electric vehicles end up with deployment of more lighter materials, which directly impacts on the manufacturing and repair costs, and it may make actual cost of ownership very high. Extended driving range of electric vehicles is one of the most demanding requirements of the current and potential electric vehicle owners, but use of a larger-capacity battery pack makes the vehicle curb weight heavier and thus the fuel efficiency worse.
In this talk, we introduce system-level solutions to enhance electric vehicle fuel efficiency with the current powertrain technologies. First, we develop an instantaneous power consumption modeling of electric vehicles by the curb weights, speed, acceleration, road slope, passenger and cargo weights, motor capacity, and so on, as a battery discharge model. We ensure the model fidelity as we fabricate a lightweight custom electric vehicle perform extensive measurement. The model fidelity enables us to achieve a more accurate range estimation.
We attempt both design and runtime energy optimization using the electric-vehicle-specific energy characteristics. We emphasize that electric vehicles show completely different fuel consumption behaviors from internal combustion engine vehicles due to the significant discrepancy in the drivetrain. We introduce minimum-energy driving methods for electric vehicles, which are largely different from eco-driving methods of internal combustion engine vehicles. We also propose a rapid energy-aware electric vehicle synthesis that allows users to quickly customize their own electric vehicle powertrain specification without understanding the technology.
Finally, we also give a heads up of an application-specific (extreme off-road driving) electric vehicle design challenges. We proved electric vehicles are capable, efficient and promising on extreme off-roads through real trail run tests.
