Admittedly I am a lead-foot. And, my 300 is happy to comply with my speed demands. Chrysler got that part right. But when it comes time to halt the mass of my silver bullet, the brakes shutter a little and fade fast. This can be a little scary.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to the Sierras for a weekend fishing trip. On my return, dropping down from 9,000 feet, I was made painfully aware of just how under-engineered my stock brakes were. I came hauling around a corner to find a Ford truck going way too slow and I had to hit the brakes pretty hard. To my dismay, they barely had enough stopping power to keep me from destroying my beautiful front end. My stopping power had faded so much that, I swear, it was like trying to stop a train Fred Flintstone-style – with my feet. It was at that moment I decided to replace my stock brake rotors.

Why Should You Buy A Safe Car?

Tuesday
Oct 28,2008

There is no doubt that safety should be one of your most important considerations when looking to buy a new or used car. Unfortunately, safety is something that a majority of car buyers take for granted.

Research shows that the safest cars on the road can offer up to five times more protection to drivers and passengers in crashes than those that meet the minimum standards. That is a significant statistic, that can quite literally mean the difference between life and death.

The number of safety features offered by makes and models is growing daily. Although, in a majority of cases, a modern car will provide a better level of protection in a crash than an older one, this is not always the case. Furthermore, not all modern cars are equipped with the same level of safety features.

There is no shortage of automobiles in the world. Starting as part of the astounding growth of the industrial sector since the late 1800s, the car industry has met the challenge to keep ahead of the increasing demand for cars and other vehicles. While our grandparents could choose between a handful of models, we have a much wider selection due to the number of car manufacturers operating in today’s world.

We all love automobiles. There is no denying the fact that automobiles have eased things for us to a great extent. A lot of time and energy gets saved when one travels in an automobile. In this article we will discuss about cars in general and buying cars through the Internet in particular.

When you drive, the heat from your engine breaks down the oil which is used as a lubricant for the moving parts. When this happens it becomes less effective and several bad things may begin happening.

The purpose of oil is to not only lubricate your engine, but to trap dirt and any other potentially destructive floaters which could cause major damage. But like all good things… your oils ability to protect and serve will come to an end.

Without the protection of clean, lubrication oil, parts of your engine rub together and begin to wear out. This will not only decrease the lifespan of your car, but it will become very, very costly to repair and replace.

Auto repair is something most of us regard with fear and dread. After all, what other area of life can you say you either have experience or know someone who has experienced an auto repair horror story?

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

As you may know, most of these problems happen because simple communication breakdowns have come between the technician and the driver.

The importance of being informed:

With the hectic pace of life these days its understandable why you wouldn’t or couldn’t spend a lot of time learning about your car. Nor should you have too. After all, this is why we have the auto service and repair industry!

Is Car Warranty Worth The Money?

Tuesday
Oct 28,2008

Car warranty policies can take the stress out of car ownership, but are they always worth the money? Our investigations suggest that not all policies are equal.

The idea behind a car warranty is fairly simple – you receive cover on the cost of any repairs that are required on your car during the term of the policy.

Many car owners opt to take out such a policy, believing that warranties offer security, minimising the risk of having to spend more on keeping a car on the road.

Unfortunately, many consumers look to car retailers to provide car warranty policies. Policies purchased from car retailers are often sold at a much higher price than can be found by buying direct from independent car warranty specialists.
