Four Wheel Drive/Truck and Sport Ute Craze

Most of the people that live in the world want four wheel drive vehicles because they are so reliable in all weather conditions. Yes the four wheel drives do handle better in slick conditions, but they do have a higher center of gravity than an all wheel drive car. That means that if you get T-Boned, you will most likely roll over. To prevent this, you should try and stop running the red lights because the cars enter the intersection when the light is green. Trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles are on the rise all over the world, because of the added comfort zone that they give drivers. If you compare a Subaru and a Chevrolet Tahoe or Truck, then you will see that the Chevy will have real bumpers that will hold up in a crash. The Subaru has molded bumpers that will not hold up in a wreck because they are just that, they are plastic and not metal. So come join the Truck/Sport Ute craze for the added comfort zone that you don't get from a little Geo Metro.

Keeping Your Car Cool

Did you know that in 95 degree heat, the air in your vehicle reaches approximately 146 degrees and the steering wheel can reach 158 degrees? So what can you do about it? First, you can tint your windows. Clear glass magnifies the sun and intensifies the heat. If that's too expensive, buy manual sunshades. They come in cheap cardboard or reflective material. You can also buy shades for the back side windows where your kids are. To avoid hot steering wheels, put a towel over the wheel to absorb sun while your car sits.


Washing and Waxing Tips

Most vehicles now come with a clearcoat finish, which tricks owners into thinking they don't need wax. Actually, you should wax your car 3-4 times a year. Most manufacturers also recommend washing your car once a week. Remember to start washing your car only when the car's surface is cool and only after rinsing the entire car. Rub gently, one section at a time, and use specific car wash products--never household cleaners. After rinsing your car well, dry it with a soft, clean cloth.

Four Wheel Drive Advantages
Through the snow, sleet, and ice, nothing can stop a four wheel drive vehicle. Wait! That is false information! Vehicles equipped with four wheel drive can be stopped! I know this for a fact because my dad and I are avid Four-Wheelers. If you bought an SUV equipped with four wheel drive, chances are that when there is snow on the ground, you tend to drive the same as you would on dry pavement. STOP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Four wheel drive only helps with traction, it won't help you stop at all! Take my advice and drive carefully in wet or slippery conditions.
