Gadgets

I’ve only had my wheels for a couple of years now, but I wouldn’t change them for the world. It might have been made over a decade ago, but it fulfills all my requirements. This is namely transport me from A to B and occasionally keep the rain off my head. My friends however give me a lot of stick about my auto as they all have very new cars that all look like the Starship Enterprise on wheels and have more technology than a NASA spacecraft. A selection of technological tools do provide some benefit, but largely speaking I would say tech causes more problems than it solves. Here are just three reasons why I’m not going to be pressured into upgrading

1.) More things to go wrong. I’m constantly providing a shoulder to cry on after my friends “smart” air conditioning unit breaks and starts plummeting the temperature in his car to minus 30 degrees. Or consoling a mate whose parking sensor fell asleep during a vital parking moment. When all is said an done, tech will malfunction eventually and the more of the stuff you have, the more frequently it will cause you to pull your hair out

2.) Over dependence. Ask your granddad how he managed to get around in his old Ford Cortina and he’ll tell you that he only had the position of the sun to guide him and a dipping stick to work out how much petrol he had left. And yet, he’ll also tell you that he never got lost and never ran out of petrol. He may be stretching the truth a little, but I would put money on the fact a higher percentage of road users run into problems such as these nowadays. This tend to be the case because handing over your faith to a sat nav system that claims to hold 45 million road in its data center is great in principle, but not so great when it delivers you a location 100 miles from your home just because you happen to share the same road name.

3.) Theft. You might consider my view of the world too negative, but as far as I’m concerned the more tech you have in your car, the more of a target it becomes to thieves. Criminals like luxuries just like the rest of us and don’t want to have to nick a car without some climate control or have to put up with a dodgy sound system. For these reasons (among others) it’s almost always the flash cars that get targeted. This is not always the best decision thieves can make however, as it very likely some of that tech will go wrong and cause them to break down or get horribly lost.

There are several new cars these days that contains must have car accessories in the car. But if you drive a car which doesn’t have essential accessories then you will have to buy it seperately. Cars such as new Volvo, Ford cars, new Mercedes, new Volkswagen, new BMW and others already have essential accessories installed such as chargers, Satnavs, chargers, digital devices, a device that receives message from the dealer if the car nears servicing or needs fluild filling and others.

So what accessories are important to have in the car?
SatNav certainly has to be first thing you need to buy these days. Not sure how many people still use A to Z to find the route when visiting a new place? There is also a Google map system which people use normally but do you really want to risk finding route while reading paper when you are driving at night through country roads? Don’t think it would be wise to do that.

Iphone or Ipod charger for music is another essential accessory to have in your car. When you are going on a long drive, wouldn’t you get angry if the battery runs out when you are speaking to someone or listening to the music? Ipod is carried by many people these days so this definitely would be a good accessory. Ipod plug is another useful accessory to have. A lot of car still do not have ipod plug in called “aux”. You can get it installed through your local car shop. If you cannot afford to install the system then you can get a external speaker and use that when you are driving. This is another option to have.

Another accessory which can be useful to have in your car is phone speaker. Sometimes you put the music loud when driving so you cannot see the phone ring. This system detects the phone call stops the music and let’s you take the call and it is hands free.

The birth of a legend called Acura
1986 was a watershed year for the autoindustry . This was when Honda, one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers, introduced a division that would exclusively manufacture luxury cars. This enterprise, the result of ten years of research, was named Acura. Automobile luxury has never been the same ever since. This was the first ever luxury automobile from Japan. Through its introductory models, the Legend and the Integra that were sold and serviced through 60 dealerships spread across North America and 18 states in the US, Acura brand had heralded the arrival of a pioneering brand. Acura’s history makes interesting reading, because it is a history of success and innovation.

Making a habit of earning accolades
Acura had arrived with a bang, in a fashion befitting Honda. In just a year of its launch, the automobiles that had promised a heady mix of technological innovation; luxury and eye-catching design had won laurels. The first pages of Acura’s history were being written. The four-door Acura Legend coupe, the first Acura model to introduce an airbag, was chosen as the Import Car of the Year for 1987; the Integra figured in that year’s Ten Best List. With its three and five door models, the Integra had consumers in North America falling over each other to buy a piece of this technological marvel.

By 1988, the Legend had become the best selling imported luxury model in the US for the second year in a row, while the Integra won the International Sedan Championship. In 1992, JD Power and Associates automobile Performance Index gave the Acura the “Best Overall Car Line” title, while in the following year, the Legend continued its legendary run as the best selling import make for the sixth consecutive year.

Changing entrenched perceptions…for good, and forever
This brand’s entry into the market was earth-shaking. So profound was the entry of Honda’s luxury division that it shook the automobile market like few other innovations had done earlier; more than anything else, it showed that a Japanese brand too, was capable of competing with European and American brands when it came to luxury automobiles. It permanently altered the image of Japanese automobiles being models that were economical and targeted at the lower middle income consumer. Acura’s history was now firmly in place.

Leading the way
Taking a cue from it, other big names such as Toyota and Nissan launched their own luxury divisions. All the luxury Japanese brands we see on our roads today are the result of the bold step Honda took all those years back. Many features such as Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD); Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) are entirely owed to Acura.

More innovations; more awards
The tradition of innovating and, with it, winning awards, continued unabated. The next wave to hit the market was the NSX Coupe in 1990. Short for “New Sports Experiment”, this was another first from Acura –it was the world’s first all-aluminum automobile, and the first automobile brand to integrate luxury and reliability into a sports car. It lived up to its name fully, being new in every sense of the term.

Not surprisingly, it went to on to win the supreme compliment: Motor Trend considered it the “best sports car ever built”. The innovation the NSX Coupe brought about was so overwhelming that it was billed as the “Everyday Supercar” for the kind of material it had used in packaging high technology. With this model, Acura had changed the face of sport cars, too. The year following its launch, the NSX Coupe was fitted with Honda’s path-breaking VTEC technology, taking it further up the ladder of sophistication.

With the introduction of the Vigor sedan in1992, Acura brought in another high flying model into the market. 1995 marked yet another year of innovation –this was when the TL Series was introduced in the American market, and the CL concept premiered at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The following year was significant for another reason –the much hallowed brand; the daringly innovative Legend was discontinued, to be replaced by the 3.5 RL.

And the show continues…
By the mid 1990’s, the Acura brand was firmly saddled in the minds of the consumer as popular tuner automobiles, especially with the younger age group. Starting in 2000, there was a flurry of new models from Acura. The 3.2 TL, which has been giving the makes like Lexus; Infiniti and the BMW a good run for their money is one of them. Here, too, Acura has innovated by adding more luxury standard features than any other brand. It usually incorporates as standard features what most others give as optional ones. The MDX Crossover came to redefine the crossover SUV market, winning awards from Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Another models that have come to occupy a prime position in the consumer’s mind are the TL; CL, RSX and the NSX.

The price of gas has gone down but that doesn’t mean that people are letting go of their concerns about getting good gas mileage from their vehicles. With the economy in a precarious state and worries about environmental concerns still high, people continue to be interested in finding the best gas mileage cars that they can get even though the price per gallon of gas isn’t in quite the fearsome place it was in during much of 2008.

If you’re looking into purchasing a new automobile in 2009 and you’ve got an eye towards getting a automobile with some good gas mileage then here are some of the top picks that you’ll want to think about purchasing (note that the gas mileage listed below is an average and that there’s sometimes a big difference between mpg in the city and those on the highway):

Toyota Prius

People who want a green automobile tend to still think of the Toyota Prius first and foremost. There’s a reason for that. This hybrid vehicle gets the best gas mileage of almost all cars on the road today (nearly fifty miles to the gallon) and it’s a reliable automobile that’s roomy enough for families. It should be noted, however, that the base price of the Toyota Prius has gone up over the years. It’s still a great automobile if you’re looking just at fuel efficiency but if you also want to take other things into consideration when buying a automobile this year then you may want to at least consider some of the other great gas mileage automobiles on this list.

Toyota Camry Hybrid

The Toyota Camry has long been a popular automobile for average drivers who are seeking a reliable vehicle that gets good gas mileage and is affordable enough to drive off of the lot on a basic budget. Even the hybrid version of the Toyota Camry is affordable for most people who are seeking to purchase a new automobile in 2009. And since it is a hybrid it does get terrific gas mileage; it gets over 35 miles per gallon steadily and can sometimes get over 40 miles per gallon.

Honda Civic Hybrid

There are some people who prefer Hondas to Toyotas so someone who may otherwise purchase the Camry hybrid may look instead at the Civic hybrid. By most accounts this automobile gets slightly better gas mileage than the Camry but the difference is negligible. Both are good cars and they both get great gas mileage so it’s really a matter of personal preference in terms of the qualities of the car that aren’t related to fuel efficiency.

MINI Cooper

There is a reason that a lot of people are turning towards smaller cars these days and that’s because smaller cars tend to get the best gas mileage. That’s true of the new MINI Cooper automobiles which are small in size and great on gas. They get over 30 miles per gallon so you can go and go for quite awhile in comparison to many of the larger automobiles that are out there on the road. If you need a little bit more room than a MINI Cooper can give you, perhaps you’d do well to get a MINI Clubman which is a new vehicle that has the same edgy style as the MINI Cooper with a little more legroom.

Smart For Two

If you’re really looking for a small automobile then perhaps a two-seater Smart automobile would be more up your alley. This isn’t the right automobile for most people but there’s a certain segment of car buyer (particularly single folks living in urban areas where parking is limited) who want a tiny vehicle. This one is tiny all right and it gets over 30 mpg so it’s easy on the pocketbook at the gas station.

Volkswagen Jetta

The Jetta is a automobile that often gets overlooked by the average driver but actually gets some decent attention from those drivers who are truly concerned with getting good gas mileage. That’s because it’s a automobile that doesn’t require a hybrid engine to get the kind of great gas mileage that you would expect from a hybrid automobile. It’s easy to get about 35 miles per gallon with this automobile and these are well-made automobiles that will last you a long time which is something that the person purchasing a vehicle in 2009 is probably concerned about. There is some variation in the fuel efficiency between the different types of Jettas (sportwagens, diesels, manual transmissions) but they all get good gas mileage.

Toyota Yaris

Personally I’m not a huge fan of this car because it’s kind of basic without a lot of frills and the design of the vehicle isn’t aesthetically appealing to me. Nevertheless, it is a solid automobile and it’s one that gets good gas mileage without costing you a lot in terms of the purchase of the vehicle itself (the automobile only costs around $12000). There are 2-door, 4-door and 5-door versions of the Toyota Yaris and they all get good gas mileage (averaging about 30 miles per gallon according to most reports) but the 2-door version gets slightly better gas mileage than the other options for this car.

Ford Escape Hybrid

People aren’t as inclined to purchase a big vehicle these days but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t at least a few SUV buyers out there. The Ford Escape Hybrid is a good choice for the individual who still wants the luxury of an SUV (although technically this is a crossover or CUV) but who also wants to get a good deal in terms of the gas mileage of the vehicle. Since it’s well built and it’s got a hybrid engine, this 2009 vehicle gets over 30 miles to the gallon.

Mercury Mariner Hybrid

Another vehicle that is comparable to the Ford Escape Hybrid is this one from Mercury. It gets about the same gas mileage and has about as much room inside of it as the Ford Escape Hybrid so this is another case where the choice between the two vehicles comes down to personal preference.

Mazda Tribute Hybrid

There is one more vehicle that falls right in line with the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner Hybrids and that’s the Mazda Tribute. Again, it’s really similar to those automobiles in terms of the miles per gallon, the total automobile cost and the size of the vehicle so you just have to try them out and see which of these good gas mileage CUVs is right for you.

Honda Fit

Another type of large vehicle that some people may continue to take an interest in despite an overall decline in the popularity of the automobile type is the station wagon. The Honda Fit is considered to be a small station wagon and the most fuel efficient in its category of cars. It gets over 30 miles per gallon which is good for a automobile of its size.

Ok so maybe you can’t afford to get a new car with great gas mileage. There are other ways to save on gas. Statistics show that on vacation the average American spends over $1000.00 on gas! Wow, a great way to save on gas is hire a Auto Transport company to ship your car and fly to your destination. There are a bunch of Car Transport companies out there but the best Car Shipping companies as far as I know are found on the web at http://www.VehicleShipping.org http://www.vehicletransport.org

The average individual does not know a great deal about how the vehicle they drive works. In most cases, this is not a problem, however, a little knowledge can greatly improve your chances of saving money in the long run on fuel costs, maintenance and repairs. A good starting point is the fuel delivery system of your car.

The fuel tank in any vehicle is the starting place of the fuel system. While there are a number of different sizes and shapes of fuel tanks they all work the same. Once gas is deposited into the fuel tank it remains there waiting for the signal from the car computer system to forward the gas to the engine.

The fuel pump which is a vital part of the fuel system is located int he gas tank. This device looks like a pole stuck to a platform, and the platform is a fuel filter. The importance of the pump is evident by the job it performs of pulling the fuel up through the filter and into the tube which leads to the line that sends the gasoline to the engine.

The gas is pressed through yet another filter closer to the engine because the cleaner the fuel the better the engine performs. After going through the second filter, the gasoline runs along a fuel rail located across the top of the engine. The rail then has lines leading to the fuel injectors, which then spray the gasoline into the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is the area in which the energy propelling your vehicle forward as you press the gas pedal occurs.

The above described system has changed very little during the last 40 years of the existence of the internal combustion engine. There have been improvements to the filters and the delivery is now computer controlled to boost performance. This is remarkable considering the many changes made in other areas of auto function and design.

This gives you a simple, painless knowledge of the fuel delivery system in your car. Take the opportunity to learn a bit more about your engine, gears and tires.

Increased reliance on cell phones has led to a rise in the number of people who use the devices while driving. There are two dangers associated with driving and
cell-phone use, including text messaging.

First, drivers must take their eyes off the road while dialing. Second, people can become so absorbed in their conversations that their ability to concentrate on the act of driving is severely impaired, jeopardizing the safety of other motorists and pedestrians.

This topic has gotten a lot of attention. Some want it to be banned all together, while others want to impose tougher laws about drivers who use them. With all of the factors that are required to drive safely, it’s imperative to keep all safety factors in
mind.

Suggestions for cell phones and driving;

1. Keep in mind there are many distractions on the road. If you are driving alone and can do so safely pull over to make or answer a call.

2. If someone is with you, have them talk on your behalf.

3. There are devices immediately to allow for a hands free call, allowing for you to keep your hands on the wheel.

That doesn’t take from the distraction of the conversation itself but, it’s a way of being able to take or manufacture the call that’s less imposing on your driving attention.

Most important thing to bear in mind when driving is that your ability to concentrate and take care on the road is your first responsibility. Any call that important is worth pulling over for.

Some regions and states have made driving while using the LG cellphone against the law. This decision is still under investigation and consideration in other areas. It’s important to understand before driving through one of those regions what their laws are on cell phone use in cars.

Cell phones are not just for business tycoons and parents on the run, children are more and more getting their own cell phone tracer.

Elementary aged children are bringing them to school. Many schools are banning cell phones, so your child may not be able to have or use the mobile phone GPS tracking during the time when he is most likely to be distant from home.

Although the Firefly Phone is a real, functional cell phone, pre-teens and teens likely won’t think so, and they will probably want a regular cell phone.

The positive side of your child having a cell phone is being able to contact them or them being able to contact you in an emergency. The negative factor is that many children are not using them responsibly. If you are going to buy a cell phone for your child, it’s important to ensure they realize what is classified as proper use and what is not proper.

Being able to keep in touch with your child when he or she is not with you is a valuable perk; yet, with the right education on how to use them responsibly they can continue to be a valuable tool for your child.

Even from the time that Ford showed the way with the first “muscle car” in 1964 in the form of the Mustang, America has been in love.

Pretty well everyone has a favorite classic muscle car. Yours might be the 1963 Dodge Dart 413 Max Wedge 426 Hemi, 1967 Dodge Charger or the Australian 1972 XA Falcon Phase IV GTHO 4 door.

With the incredible performance and power that these cars offered, the Ford Mustang became the top selling car for many of the years during its “performance era.” Times are different, though, and there are many factors that would seem to decrease the muscle car’s popularity. High fuel prices and strict Federal regulations would seem to be likely culprits in putting a harness on all that horsepower. But these horses can’t be corralled and the muscle car remains a steady seller, especially to the new generation. And for them, there is a new generation of muscle cars hitting the dealer lots.

Cadillac CTS-V

This high performance Cadillac makes an impressive introduction to the muscle car ring. While Cadillac may not exactly historically call for performance, the CTS-V delivers with superior handling, a comfortable and roomy interior as well as significant power. Showing off its impressive 400 horses of power with a 6.0 liter V8 and 395 pound feet of torque, this powerhouse sits you in they type of car you would expect from Cadillac with a surprisingly low and very pleasing performance.

Pontiac GTO

GM after too many years brought back the “Goat”, much to the delight of muscle car enthusiasts. One of the original muscle cars, the GTO was introduced in 1964 and ran through the 1974 production year. Pontiac wanted to keep the awesome power and performance of the GTO without without a sky high price. With a 6.0 liter LS2 V8 offering 400 horses, the new breed of GTO ran from 2004 to 2006. But, this is one car that can’t be held down and we can only hope that it will emerge again in the future.

Infiniti G35

A good example of the new breed muscle cars, the Infinity G35 offers high end performance, great handling and a great look. Sporting a powerful 3.5 liter V6, 306 horses strong, you will be driving the old school muscle car style combined with the newer, technological plusses of the 21st century. With this car, performance is its strong suit. It offers great handling and a superior, “beauty meets beastly power” look and feel.

Lexus IS 350

Another sprightly muscle car with high performance, the Lexus IS 350 offers 306 horsepower with its powerful V6. Its inventive safety designs give it an edge over some of the other muscle cars out there. While you probably equate the Lexus name with luxury, the IS 350 shines with top performance as well.

Ford Mustang

You can’t say muscle car without thinking about the Ford Mustang. The classic muscle car, this pony with horsepower has seen some significant design changes over the past twenty years. The latest Mustang, though, still will impress you with a wicked performance V8 version with 300 horses galloping under the hood in the GT version. The retro chassis will take the old timers back and spark an interest in new enthusiasts just discovering this classic to a new love.

There are many other muscle cars that could easily make this list and be competitive against their high performance cousins. Take some time to test drive a few of the latest muscle cars and find the performance package that speaks to you. Performance, design and power make a muscle car, but you need one in your garage to really appreciate it.

I can hear it now from the Prius loving, gas sipping, and bike riding crowds: a more powerful car is environmentally irresponsible. Balderdash! Not that anyone should care what others think of them, but this thought pattern is totally incorrect. Thanks to advances in automotive technology, virtually every performance part on the market will yield greater fuel mileage for your car as well as give you more power. A true win-win result; let’s take a look at four powerful performance enhancing parts for your vehicle.

1. Power chips and programmers. Whether your replace your car’s computer chip or enhance it with a power programmer, in either case you will achieve noticeable gains in horsepower and thrust. By overriding the factory limitations imposed on your vehicle you can get more power for a small amount of money.

2. Reusable air filters. Now this is a part that the tree huggers love: air filters which can be used over and over again. That’s right, no need to clog up our landfills with paper filters once a year. Instead, air filters built for race cars can be put in your car and reused. Your engine breaths better and better breathing engine sucks up less fuel. Guess what? Your fuel economy improves!

3. Cold air intakes. That growl coming from underneath your hood is your engine telling you that it loves its new air intake. Designed to suck up colder, denser air a cold air intake delivers the “fuel” that you engine wants. Again, your engine runs smoother and fuel economy increases. The best part? A cold air intake is an awesome looking addition to your engine bay!

4. Performance exhausts. Yes, your stock exhaust system just doesn’t cut it. For starters, it works against your engine and not with it. Specifically, power flow is inhibited and your engine works harder and sucks up more gas in the process. With the wider pipes found in a performance exhaust system you can get more horsepower, achieve greater torque, and watch your fuel economy rise as your engine and exhaust work in harmony.

What many motorists do not understand is that some stock parts are not the best parts for your car. Manufacturers, in an ongoing bid to save money, will often opt for those parts that cost less to hold car prices down. Unfortunately, your car is the biggest loser as power is restricted and fuel economy drops. With the right parts installed by you the trend can be reversed without significant increases in exhaust pollution; your car will still pass its emissions test and it will runner faster and more efficiently.

Of course, the big question is this: aren’t performance parts expensive? They can be if you do not shop around. Visit the web site of a trusted online wholesaler and compare prices. Do the work yourself and your saving will more than cover the cost of having someone install stock parts for you.

Gas prices remain at historically high levels and the long term trend is indicating that they will stay high. If you own one or more cars, you understand that saving cash somewhere, somehow is important to helping you preserve your budget. The following are some important tips to help you manage your car expenses.

Look over your insurance. If your car is between two and three thousand dollars, consider canceling your collision coverage. The money you save could then be set aside by you toward a down payment on your next vehicle.

Keep your tires suitably inflated. Your gas mileage will fall if your tires are under inflated. Keep your tires at the suggested pressure amounts and your gas mileage should stay stable.

Do not change your oil too often. Unless you drive entirely in the city you do not need to change your oil every 3000 miles. Most cars can last up to 7500 miles between changes. You will, however, still need to change your oil twice yearly even if you drive infrequently.

Do some minor maintenance yourself. You can change your wipers, the air filter, battery, and replace a tire yourself. If you rely on others, your costs will climb considerably.

Use regular gas. If your car requires regular gas, do not indulge in premium. Your car probably will not run any better and you will have paid as much as 25 cents extra per gallon extra.

Don’t purchase an comprehensive warranty. The amount of money you pay for an extended warranty is usually more than what the warranty is worth. If you feel that a particular car model requires an extended warranty, perhaps you should consider shopping for a vehicle that is much more dependable.

You can save plenty of money by washing and waxing your car yourself. Treat yourself to the services of a car wash no more than 2-3 times per year.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The manufacturer of your vehicle will know how long parts should last. Change your timing belt before it becomes a problem, your fuel filter as required, and keep an eye on your brakes, tires, and shocks. Most cars built today do not need a complete tune up for as long as one hundred thousand miles, so do not put down the $250 for a tune up before one becomes a necessity.

Use a private garage. No, you do not have to take your Chevy to the Chevrolet dealership for service. If you have a decent, local garage that knows your make and model you can typically save money by using them instead.

We aren’t likely to see gas prices below $2 per gallon again, while $3 per gallon may soon be the rule. Supply and demand cannot be controlled, but you can take the above steps to make certain that your car does not cost you more than it should.
