Today's funny bumper sticker: "My alone time is for everyone's safety." :) Have a safe Monday!

Smile (and embrace the day) it's FRIDAY! :)

Have a great weekend!

Think your car's life is pretty much over at 150,000 miles? You can thank GM's Alfred Sloan for that idea, as we travel back to the 1920's for when Sloan developed the concept of "planned obsolescence," designed to make car owners dissatisfied enough to trade in their vehicles long before their cars were actually toast. Today's vehicles are designed to go up to and beyond 300,000 miles IF the owner follows the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Speaking of which, what is the longest you have gone without an oil change?

08/25/2020

Gas prices have been steadily (but slowly) climbing and should continue to do so according to AAA. (National average is $2.19 a gallon.) So is it more fuel efficient to have your AC on or your windows down? Easy peasy. AC off and windows down at slower city speeds and AC on and windows up on the highway. Do you ever do both at the same time? (You may want to stop doing that!)

08/24/2020

Today's thought-provoking bumper sticker: "If you push the envelope it will still be stationary." :) Have a safe Monday!

08/21/2020

Smile (and dress for the party!) it's FRIDAY! :)

Have a great weekend!

Today's is da bomb, literally, as we travel back to 1957 to a Ford concept car that actually used a “small” nuclear reactor (is that an oxymoron?) and uranium fission to power a steam engine, not unlike today’s nuclear submarines - or the DeLorean in 1985's Back To The Future. Speaking of which, if you could travel back in time using that car, what year would you travel back to, and why?

08/18/2020

Facial Recognition Technology - now offered in some vehicles for theft protection - also measures a driver's level of alertness and warns the driver when it "sees" you not paying attention. This rapidly advancing technology will soon be able to warn drivers when they appear too tired, too drunk or even too upset to drive. Would you feel comfortable telling a driver they aren't "fit" to get behind the wheel?

08/17/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the heck happened." :) Have a safe Monday!

08/14/2020

Smile - it's FRIDAY! :)

Have a fantastic weekend!

08/13/2020

For we motor back to New York state circa 1901 and the first required license plates, which were actually made by the car's owner (using their initials) out of leather or metal. (No waiting in the line at the DMV!) What is the funniest or most unusual personalized plate you have seen on a vehicle?

08/10/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "Don't get in the car with me if you're going to scream every time we almost wreck." :) Have a safe Monday!

08/07/2020

Smile (and jump on in!) - it's FRIDAY! :)

Have a great weekend!

08/06/2020

For we plug into 1890 and the first practical (rechargeable) electric car, which had 24 battery cells that needed recharging every 50 miles and a top speed of 20 mph. While it doesn't exactly scream PRIUS, this groundbreaking vehicle is an important forerunner to the over 5 million hybrid electric vehicles that have been sold in the U.S. since the first Honda Insight hit the market in 1997. What do you like - and dislike - about a hybrid?

08/04/2020

DID YOU KNOW - your tires have a "born on" date, if they were manufactured after 2000. The tire date code can be found on the sidewall. Find "DOT," then move clockwise (to the right) until you get to the last set of four numbers. The first two signify the week the tire was made, the last two are the year. Why does this matter? Tires are made of organic materials that degrade over time. Any tire six years or older may be unsafe - and that includes your spare (if you have one).

08/03/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "I used to be cool." :) Have a safe Monday!

We get pumped up for as we travel back to 1947 Los Angeles, when the first self service gas station opened. (Attendants still had to manually turn the pump back to zero.) Today, self service is so common that some people aren't aware that "full service" was once the norm, with a pump attendant whose only job was to fill up our tank, wash our windshield and check our fluids and tire pressure, all delivered with a smile. Pump attendants still exist (smile optional) by law in all of New Jersey and in some parts of Oregon, where pumping your own gas is a no-no. Do you prefer self - or full - service?

07/28/2020

How far can your car go on empty? Generally speaking, you can drive another 25 to 40 miles when the needle actually hits E, depending on the year, make, model and driving conditions. (Cars built for the European market are more "honest." When it's empty, it's empty.) Have you ever run out of gas when you thought you had a "few more miles in the tank."?

07/27/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "I'm not lost, I'm exploring." :) Have a safe Monday!

"The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round," and for we can thank veterinarian John Dunlop, who invented the world's first practical pneumatic (containing air or gas under pressure) tire, in 1888 (for his son's tricycle). A recent survey by Cooper Tires shows 75% of Americans say they know how to change a flat tire. Do you know how and have you done it?

07/21/2020

Have you ever fallen asleep while driving? Nearly a quarter of all drivers on U.S. roads admit to dozing off behind the wheel. (Men do so twice as much as women.) We don't have to tell you how dangerous it is to drive while sleep-deprived (at least as dangerous as driving while under the influence). What do you do to help stay awake and alert while driving?

07/20/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "Beware of the dog. (The cat is pretty shady, too.)" :) Have a safe Monday!

07/17/2020

Smile (and fill 'er up) it's FRIDAY! :)

Have a great weekend!

07/16/2020

We slow waaay down for this week's and the invention of the traffic enforcement camera, which was known as the "Time Recording Camera for Trapping Motorists" when the patent was granted in 1905. Speed cameras - regardless of how they are viewed by drivers - lower fatal and serious injury accidents by up to 40%. Have you ever received a speeding ticket (in the mail) because of a speed camera?

07/14/2020

How should you hold the steering wheel? Old school Driver's Ed taught us to put our hands at 10 and 2, like hands on a clock. New school research says at 9 and 3. Other research suggests at 8 and 4 to avoid the airbag as much as possible. How do YOU hold the steering wheel?

07/13/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "My driving scares me, too." :) Have a safe Monday!

07/10/2020

Smile (and what were we thinking?) - it's (casual) FRIDAY! :)

Have a great weekend!

07/09/2020

We start up in 2003 with the first factory installed remote starter, which was offered by GM. Which brings up this question: Can you extend the range of your remote by holding it under your chin, opening your mouth and using your head as a kind of antenna? Try it and let us know!

07/07/2020

Riding on the passenger side with your feet up may be relaxing, but It is also extremely dangerous. Passenger front airbags deploy at speeds of up to 200 mph. If a passenger's feet are on the dash when the airbag deploys, it will cause the knees to push backwards, slamming into the passenger's face. It can also drive the passenger's thigh bones through their pelvis. Thank you for always riding with your feet on the floor!

07/06/2020

Today's funny bumper sticker: "I'm not funny. I'm just mean and people think I'm joking." :) Have a safe Monday!

07/02/2020

For today's we blow back to 1936 and the invention of the aptly named Drunkometer, forerunner of the modern day breathalyzer, which shows potential driver impairment by measuring blood alcohol content. (Field sobriety tests were first used in 1981.) A gentle reminder from all of us that July 4th is the deadliest holiday for drunk driving fatalities, so drive with caution, have a fun holiday weekend and thank you for not drinking and driving.
