How to Have your Sexy Car

This is their way of luring women into their arms. A car doesn't only have to be expensive, it also has to be stylish and appear sensual. Indeed, a sexy car can bring a man stellar results as far as dating is concerned.

Women have several weapons of seduction, namely their hair that shines and teases, makeup that highlights facial assets and hides facial flaws, short skirts and dresses, high heels that make legs appear longer and slender, and lingerie that accentuates all the right curves. Men, on the other hand, have less than colorful options. Women look past the visuals and usually fall for men with sense of humor, wit, and intelligence. However, to make a great impression on women, men can sport a lean physique, a charming smile, and a sexy car.

A car cannot be sexy if its driver does not feel sexy. Thus, the first thing you have to do to woo a woman properly with a sexy car is to feel good about yourself. In order to feel good about yourself, you have to make sure you look good on the outside. Studies have shown that when a person knows he looks good, this knowledge is channeled into an overall positive outlook, particularly when dating is concerned. It will prompt you to walk the walk and talk the talk so that you can charm your lady love. Indeed, a little confidence in yourself goes a long way.

A sexy car has to be just right in order to give off the right impression. It must not be overly done or too loud in appearance. There are many car or auto businesses that offer services for making cars sexy. For example, there are businesses that customize car upholstery. You can have yours done for a tastefully seductive finish. Leather seats always get women talking so you're sure to earn quite a reputation with their posses if you opt for leather seats. Moreover, leather seats bring to mind hot, wild scenes from romantic movies, which might just give your and your woman timely inspiration. Black or read seats will evoke fieriness and passion, whereas white seats will provide a feeling of immaculateness and purity. Either way, you're sure to pique your woman's imagination.

Another way to help you fully utilize a sexy car's ability to score you some points with woman is to treat it to a great set of accessories. There are several websites that sell car accessories, and you can easily find one that has accessories to match your desired sexy theme. You can ask for opinion as to what accessories work best if you're not too knowledgeable about them.

Do You Need A Battery Tester for Your Automotive Battery?

Battery care and maintenance in many cases is forgotten until the battery fails to start your car. It only takes a small amount of care and maintenance to prevent the battery from failing you when you need it the most. Cold weather is the worst time to have a dead battery, but then cold weather is the hardest on your battery. By performing regular care and maintenance on your battery year round you should be able to catch those batteries before cold weather sets in and the before the battery leaves you stranded in four feet of snow and ice.

Testing and taking care of the maintenance on your battery only requires a little bit of time and a small amount of tools. If you only perform the maintenance and care your battery needs once a year, make that once a year in the fall. Fall is a great time of year to putter around outside, so you might as well putter around with the battery in your vehicle.

It is always recommended before you do anything with your battery to wear eye protection and keep open flames away from the battery. This means no smoking. Batteries produce a hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable and because batteries contain sulfuric acid, you want to do what you can to protect your eyes from sulfuric acid getting in them. If you get sulfuric acid on your skin, mix baking soda and water and apply to the area. This will neutralize the acid and prevent additional damage or burns to your skin.

You will want to inspect the battery for any obvious problems. A broken alternator belt, a dirty or wet battery, corroded or swollen cables, corroded terminals, or a leaking or damaged battery case could cause your battery to fail. Clean, repair or replace any of the items listed. Distilled water should be used replenish the water level of the battery.

Battery testing doesn’t have to be so hard, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to find out whether or not you have a good battery. You do need to make sure your battery is performing, as it should, so you don’t get stuck when you need it the most. There are so many testers on the market and so many different types of testing methods, sometimes it can get quite confusing. Always use a proven method of testing.

The Motoring Scene

To begin with, the price of fuel has gone sky high! But then I'm sure you will have noticed that with so many factors at play in the recent rocket ship ride of oil prices, far be it for me to offer any more sage analysis than what you may already have heard:

1. That the conflict in Iraq has contributed to OPEC price instability.

2. That the recent hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico have played havoc with US and international petroleum production and refinement in the region.

3. A general recognition that energy consumption practices must be seriously altered.

4. That, as Harry Potter seems to be everywhere these days, he must be involved, though J.K. Rowling has remained suspiciously quiet about it.

Anyone over 40 has been hearing about the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels since the aptly named 'energy crisis' of the mid 1970's, when for the first time, the West came face to face with the grim facts that:

1. Arab oil producing nations (OPEC) as well as Russian oil and gas, effectively have the world over the proverbial barrel, (of oil that is - black gold, Teheran tea) because of our frighteningly wasteful consumption of oil and gas at present.

AND

2. Our grossly improvident guzzling of said fuel HAD to be radically restructured, BEFORE we ran out of the stuff, or we all have to become familiar with the old horse and buggy once more.

That was thirty years ago and sadly, very little seems to have fundamentally changed since then. OPEC & Co still have the West over a barrel, and that's simply because we haven't altered our consumption practices to any great degree.

Or have we?

There's no question that automobile manufacturers are producing more fuel-efficient cars than ever before. Compared to even the early 80's, automobiles today generally have much higher fuel efficiency than their forebears.

Manufacturers have even gone so far as to create the 'Hybrid' vehicle - a car that runs on a combination of traditional petroleum and electricity. It does so by converting normally unused combustion engine energy, such as that normally squandered by braking or coasting, into electricity and storing it in a battery.

This energy can then be used when needed by the hybrid's electrical motor to assist the conventional engine at times when it's at its least efficient - generally during low speed driving conditions or when climbing steep inclines.

Then there is the even more futuristic fuel cell vehicle. Essentially, this is a car which runs on a device (another highly specialized battery) which converts oxygen and hydrogen into water, the end result of the process being electricity that is then used to power the motor. Unlike conventional batteries, whose internally stored chemicals are finite and are eventually depleted, thus rendering the battery expendable, the fuel cell battery will continue to produce electricity as long as oxygen and hydrogen are continually introduced into it.

Apart from being relatively cheap to maintain, one of the main selling points of this design is that with the chemicals used to stimulate the process including pure hydrogen, the sole by-products of such an engine would be nothing more harmful to our environment than water vapour and heat. We could say farewell to the catalytic converter and emissions guidelines and testing, forever. Yes I know, it brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?

The automobile industry is clearly being forced to re-think its approach to fuel efficiency even further, as the line-ups and gas gouging prices of the 70s are with us once again, although thankfully they've left their bell bottoms and platforms boots at home this time.

The 80's and 90's were conspicuous by the appearance of the 'monster' car. SUV's and mammoth trucks were all the rage offering an unprecedented sense of status, luxury and power for anyone with the laissez-faire to fork out tens of thousands of £'s or $'s for what amounted to a living room on wheels.

This decade seems certain to be characterized by just the opposite. Smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, even those that run on alternative forms of energy such as hybrids, electricity, or hydrogen fuel cells, are being marketed as the way of the future.

The question is, will these automobiles capture the interest and the buying power of the customer before the reappearance of the horse drawn carriage?

Stay tuned; but stock up on your sugar cubes and bags of apples, just in case.

The Motoring Scene

One of the most popular uses for lead acid batteries is their use in automobiles. Your car battery is a lead acid battery. You should have your car battery tested periodically for function so that you do not get stranded on the road one day if it dies.

Some car batteries today have a lifetime warranty, but that does not mean that you should not have them tested. A good rule of thumb for lead acid battery testing is to have the battery tested every time you take it to get the oil changed. This should keep the battery in good shape and any recharging that needs to be done can be done at the time.

Older lead acid batteries do not have a lifetime warranty. Because they contain toxins, they have to be disposed of in a certain manner. You cannot just toss them in the dumpster. You can dispose of them in designated areas. Car dealers will often dispose of lead acid batteries for a price.

You can also test your own car batteries at home. If you work on cars in your spare time, you might want to invest in a lead acid battery testing product. These are relatively inexpensive and in some cases, you do not even have to remove the battery from the car.

Most mechanics who work out of their home have some way they use for lead acid battery testing. This is because many of the problems that people experience with their cars are due to the battery running down. If you turn the ignition switch and cannot get the car to even turn on, chances are that the battery is dead. A battery can go dead for many reasons. The most common reason for a battery going dead is that someone left the lights on in the car all night long. This tends to allow the battery to run down and thus, go dead.

The battery can be recharged, but in some cases, it must be replaced. This is determined on the age of the battery and if it has ever been recharged. If you employ lead acid battery testing every once in a while for your car, you can then make sure that the battery is always in good condition so if there is a mishap where the battery does run down due to lights being left on, you have a good chance of not having to replace your car battery.

Lead acid battery testing usually only takes a few minutes. Most car dealers may not even charge you to perform this task. However, the best thing you can do to maintain your vehicle and the battery in the car is to get your own battery testing device so that you never have to worry about the battery running down and being stuck on the road somewhere.

Tips for a successful office carpool

Not sure if you've noticed, but the price of gas has gone completely koo-koo in the past year, leaving those of us who have a significant driving commute to work each day with a gaping hole in our wallets at the end of the month. What better time to reinstate the old office carpool!

Rising gas prices and environmental concerns are two great reasons to find some like-minded coworkers who live in your area and band together to share driving responsibilities.

Five reasons why it's a good time to start carpooling:

Reason #1: Gas prices are going through the roof

Reason #2: Carpooling reduces emissions, which is good for the environment

Reason #3: It's a great way to bond with your co-workers

Reason #4: It's a chance to get caught up on your reading

Reason #5: It's means a lot less driving for you!

Here are some tips for a successful car pool!:

Once you've got your office carpool members organized, all that's left is to set some driving guidelines and establish a few simple car rules for everyone to follow. Here are some helpful tips to get you started:

1. Be considerate to your fellow carpoolers. Just because you need classic rock turned up to 11 to get you going in the morning doesn't mean your fellow carpoolers do. If quiet is requested, be considerate and can keep the noise level low.

2. Be on time. Punctuality is the key to an effective car pool. When you are the driver, remember that you are responsible for getting everyone to work on time their punctuality depends on YOU!

3. Set the rules. Establish a set of guidelines for behavior in the car with regards to smoking, eating, drinking and radio playing. Print out a copy and keep the rules in the glove compartment for easy access.

4. Create a schedule. Don't decide who will drive each day on the fly. Compile a schedule that plans for all the driving a month in advance (at least) and accounts for vacations and substitute drivers should someone get sick on their driving day.

5. Exchange phone numbers and email addresses. If there is a change of plans, you want to be able to contact everyone in the carpool immediately. Make sure that a chain of communication is established so all parties involved can be properly informed of any schedule or driving changes. Pinning a note on someone's office chair or desk about your availability will not suffice!

6. Drive safely. You've got the lives of others in your hands. Never drive in a reckless manner or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you don't feel physically capable of driving, then ask one of your co-workers to fill in.

7. Find the best route. Work with the other individuals in your car pool to map out each day's driving plan. Take into consideration traffic routes, timing and how to use the least amount of gas. Make sure that everyone's needs are accounted for and that all riders/drivers are pleased with the route.

The Well Known and the Hidden Advantages of Motor Scooters

Motor scooters are one of the most convenient mode of transport available. They are very affordable, able to run on gas, and are very easy to operate. These are the more obvious advantages of motor scooters. Everyone knows that most motor scooters have electric starters installed, so even the most dainty lady can start a motor scooter.

Due to its small capacity and size, the motor scooter is also vastly popular with ladies. It can be redesigned and sprayed with many colorful paints to make it look more like a fashion companion than a transport tool. Traditional motorcycles are often too bulky for anyone with a small frame to handle. And size can definitely be intimidating, especially to ladies. Even the simple act of placing a motorcycle on its main stand can become a problem.

Moreover, traditional motorcycles are more difficult to handle and operate. The clutches, gear changing and foot brakes keep all four limps busy when operating a traditional motor bike. But a motor scooter has automatic gear changing. So riding a motor scooter is like riding a bicycle, except that you don't have to pedal! The throttle works the same way as an ordinary motorcycle, but there is no gear changing involved. Both the front and rear brakes are operated by the hands. So the legs are free to relax while riding. Therefore, it's certainly more relaxing and enjoyable to ride a motor scooter. And there is more to come.

Although having a large number of advantages as stated above, the most notable advantage is still its afford ability. Motor scooters now come in as little as 50cc in capacity. The bikes themselves are highly affordable, and can be bought for as little as a few hundred dollars. For scooters that run on gas, the savings are even higher due to higher fuel economy standards.

For these reasons, the motor scooter becomes a highly sought after item for anyone, even if they own a car or a bigger motorcycle. If there are increases in petrol prices caused by the oil market upswing, owning a gas motor scooter will definitely help to weather the increase in petrol price hikes. It's going to be cheaper to travel to work, and to run errands on a motor scooter compared to a car.

Traveling to work, running errands, fetching children from schools are all very practical tasks. And many people have to have some mode of transport to fill these functions. Sometimes, the grocery store may be just a few blocks away, and it does sound like a tremendous waste to have to drive a car there when a motor scooter would have gotten the job done.

Finally, the experience of riding a motor scooter is certainly very different from any other forms of transport. Motor scooter riders have often saying that there is a feeling of freedom when riding their scooters. In a way, this is true because they are, in fact, literally free as they are traveling on the roads, not enclosed by any windows or doors. Perhaps it is this experience that is luring the riders to ride their scooters again and again.

Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Used Car vs a New Car

Buying a used car is a great way to save some money and still get the car you've been searching for. Whether you're constrained by your pocketbook or have certain automotive needs that must be met (such as a backseat for the kids or four-wheel drive for winter weather), today's used car options deliver almost everything new cars do and at a lower overall cost.

1. Depreciation

The second you drive a new car off the lot, its value depreciates by as much as 20 percent. Studies show that most cars are only worth 60 to 70 percent of their original value three years after their purchase. When you buy a used car, all the depreciation has already been absorbed by the original owner.

2. No Overpriced Dealer Repairs

When you purchase certain makes and models of new cars, the parts covered under warranty aren't valid if you use your own mechanic. In these instances, your only choice is to return to the dealership to get your repairs done. This is basically the dealership's way of getting you into their shops with their overpriced service. When you buy a used car, you can get repairs done on your own terms.

3. Save Money

Buying used cars whether you are buying from a used car dealership, car classifieds, or online sites like Craigslist simply costs less money than buying new. New cars run an average of $25,000, while used cars are closer to the $10,000 range. If you're buying from a private seller, you might even be able to haggle the price down or barter to keep costs low.

4. Save the Planet

While buying a hybrid car might seem like a great way to go green, it actually takes more energy to build a new hybrid than it does to buy a fuel-efficient used car. Every time a hybrid comes off the assembly line, it takes about 46,000 miles of driving before the car breaks even in the amount of energy it saves through fuel efficiency. Buying a used car in the first place as long as it's not a gas guzzler will actually reduce your carbon footprint.

5. Lower Car Insurance Rates

Car insurance rates are higher for new cars than they are for used cars. The reasons are simple: new cars are more likely to be financed (and therefore need full coverage), and annual insurance rates can run as high as 20 percent of a car's sticker price. Buying a newer, more expensive model can end up costing you money for years.

6. Higher Used Car Standards

Thanks to new lemon laws and auto history check websites, it has become easier than ever to determine if a used car has undergone any major damage. Some used car dealerships also offer used car certification, which guarantees that they have been looked over and approved by a qualified mechanic.

7. Avoiding Car Dealerships

When buying a used car, you have a number of places to look. You can peruse car classifieds, visit eBay or Craigslist, or opt for a used car dealership. New cars typically only come from one place - the dealer - so you have limited options when it comes to salesmen and haggling over prices.

8. Finding Good Deals

Owners of new cars can be a pretty finicky set. Many people turn over their cars after one or two years simply as a matter of course, while others may decide that the monthly payments are too high to continue. If you take the time to look for quality used cars, you might find some incredibly good deals from individuals who are motivated to sell.

9. More Bang for Your Buck

When you drive a new car straight off the lot, you typically pay for every added feature. When you upgrade to include a sunroof, tinted windows, and a spoiler, you can leave with a total price thousands of dollars higher than the sticker price. Used cars with these same amenities might cost a little more than those without, but not nearly to the same extent.

10. Used Cars can be just as Reliable if carefully inspected

Although buying a new car may seem like a more responsible choice, no car purchase is guaranteed to be hassle-free. Factory recalls, faulty parts, and required maintanence repairs can occur just as easily in a new car as they can in a used car. As long as you have your used car purchase checked out and you take good care of it, the overall reliability of your car can be just as good as a new car. Further, cars have also become more reliable with advances in technology.

Buying a car - regardless of whether you choose new or used - is a major endeavor that can put a strain on your finances for years. Fortunately, most of the benefits of buying a used car have to do with money. As long as you take your time, evaluate your prospective purchases, and have a mechanic check out the used car before you buy it, you and your used car can spend many happy years together.
