Tips for buying a used car

by Brenda Williams

Buying a used car can be a solution for affordable enough to buy a new car. Cars used, even in a single model years of age, can be 20-30% cheaper than buying the same car again. Used car buyers can easily find refers to the large number of cars that were leased. These cars are usually in very good condition and have a low number of miles on them. Used Cars also have lower rates of insurance and buy a used car means you can afford a car that has more luxury and performance that you might usually be able to afford.
The reasons that many people think they should avoid used cars have changed. The used cars are generally reliable pass these days than they have been in the past and history of the automobile accidents have participated in can be easily traced by the number of VIN. Most car makers are now selling cars that include guarantees factory. One of the best things you can do at any used car is to get a story from an automobile accident has been involved in the use of VIN numbers to run a Carfax report that will tell the history of the automobile.

In addition, if it is a third party who might be a wise idea to take the vehicle to an independent mechanic for an inspection. In this way we can know what is really the condition in the car. Dealers not let you do that, for the reason that they have checked the car. When you buy a car through classified ads on eBay or call the phone number and say you're interested in the car. You will know right away if it is a private seller or a trader does go through a private seller. Always consider the speedometer and odometer. Look for scratches, chips or other damage indicating that the odometer has been tampered with. It is getting harder to do these days, but it is still possible to reverse the car's odometer.
If you see the price of a car is $ 5999, tries to show the concessionaire with the fate of $ 500 - $ 1000 less and see if they take it. If the dealer really wants to drive this car off the lot more to do, will you accept his offer and walk away with a big price on his new car. You should also generate a report in his car with Experian, yes, and the credit report of people. Also, keep detailed records of the cars and also obtain a copy of its title. It will show the mileage, if the odometer says otherwise, then someone, possibly tampered with it. Always use due diligence when buying a used car, no matter whether private citizen or a car dealer, is always suspect anything suspicious. In this way, can be kept safe to buy a used car and have a good car to drive for many years to come.

Water Instead Of Petrol

by Paul Aitchison

This article will look at the question: will cars run on water instead of petrol.
Will cars ever run on water instead of petrol seems like a question someone would ask 30 or 40 years ago. Now the time has arrived and the reality of cars running on water is a step closer. We are not quite there but we can use, what is called, a hybrid system.
A water hybrid system means we can use fuel it is a practical solution developed for use in fuelinjected and carbureted motor vehicles. The secret of the waterhybrid system lies within its HyTronic module. It produced relatively low voltage, but uniquely shaped electronic pulses of precise frequency and duration. The overall power consumption of the HyTronic module and the entire waterhybrid system is fairly low; actually low enough to be easily powered by your vehicles excess electrical and heat output, and with enough reserve power left to help run all your vehicles other electrical devices.

This might give a little too much science as to how it works, but all you need to know is that I does work and you do not need to know the science behind it, do you know how electricity works?
If you are really thinking of changing over to the hybrid system then I would do a lot of research and be sure about what you are doing. There is a lot of information out there so do be careful.
So, will cars ever run on water instead of petrol one day? I think we are 10-15 years away from it but for now the hybrid system is the next best thing.

Alternative Fuel For Your Vehicle - Ever Heard Of HHO Gas?

by Jennifer Meinert

With the rising gas prices, you might be looking for solutions on ways to save money driving your car. So, in this article, I am going to be talking about HHO gas and how it can become an alternative fuel for your vehicle.
HHO Fuel - What Is It?
So, you might be asking yourself, what is this HHO form? The HHO that is used in HHO fuel or gas is scientifically known as oxyhydrogen, which means, an HHO gas molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom per molecule. What is amazing, is that, this gas is produced through electrolysis of water. Since water is easily accessible, it makes generating HHO fuel easy to do.
Conversion Kits - So How Does It Work?
An HHO gas conversion kit, also know as running your car on water, is a specially designed modification that is added to your vehicle that allows your vehicle to run on oxyhydrogen gas. The conversion kit works primarily with distilled water to generate this HHO fuel. This conversion kit makes an electrolytic conversion by using the power from your vehicles engine to create oxyhydrogen, thus, pushing the gas into the car's carburetor.

HHO Gas Conversion Kits - What Vehicles Can I Use It On?
You can use these HHO fuel kits on gas or diesel powered cars, trucks, vans and SUV's. So, that being said, you can run it on pretty much anything. Even your lawn mower!
Running Your Car on Water - What Are The Benefits?
There are lots of benefits to putting one of these HHO conversion kits on your vehicle, including:
1. Pretty much maintenance free!
2. Add water when needed!
3. Double or Triple your gas mileage by running your car on water!
4. Save well over 40% on fuel costs!
5. It doesn't take up a lot of room under the hood of your vehicle!
6. Do your share in helping save the earth!
Conclusion
Are you looking for a way to stop paying high prices at the gas station? Buying an HHO conversion kit manual and putting one of these kits on your car, truck, van or SUV, whether it be gas or diesel, might just be the solution you have been looking for! Don't hesitate, and get one of these kits TODAY to start saving money TOMORROW!

Saving Gas By Using HHO - How HHO Saves Gas

by Brandon Mchale

HHO saves gasoline by assisting combustion.
HHO stands for hybrid hydrogen oxygen. This proven technology has been around since the late 1950's and has had different applications. You can find schematics from torches to tractors. All of the applications are the same in the way that they use HHO to assist combustion. HHO is not a stand alone fuel source, it simply increases the efficiency of the combustion cycle. Put it this way " HHO gives you more bang for your buck! "
Stop paying for unused fuel
Current engines gasoline and diesel have unused fuel in the combustion cycle. Matter of fact the catalytic converter (1975) was introduced to act as a catalyst and improve emissions. Part of the emissions the catalytic converter converts is unused fuel. So what's the big deal? Well, if you use HHO not only do you increase the efficiency of the combustion cycle, giving you more bang for your buck, you also do part of the catalytic converters job. So the big deal is, you increase horsepower emit cleaner emissions and gain miles per gallon, because you used the fuel more efficiently.

Remove carbon and increase your engines life
HHO has a side effect of removing carbon. The removal of carbon will decrease heat buildup increase efficiency and lead to less engine wear. Engine heat is a factor that leads to engine wear. Oil is used to assist this and lubricate the moving parts. Remove the carbon and you get less friction, less friction leads to less heat and longer engine life. As soon as you introduce HHO you will notice a smoother cooler running engine. This alone is a great benefit and there are many fuel additive products on the market that do this, but they can't beat the price of HHO.
How is HHO introduced into the combustion cycle?
The gas from an HHO fuel cell is aimed at the air intake. Aim the gas before the air filter and the filter will help diffuse the gas. Keep your HHO saturation at or below 4%. This is not steam or water vapor, this is a combustible gas within itself. This is also a good time to mention that this is not a toy. You should have good schematics if attempting to build your own fuel cell. If your purchasing one you need to know the liter output. If you go over 4% saturation your asking for trouble. This can easily be avoided with a good set of plans. The benefits far outweigh the initial costs of a well built HHO cell. You will add miles per gallon increase horsepower and emit a cleaner exhaust.

Learning How To Run A Car On Water - Quest Or Mission?

by Suzanne Webb-Brikas

Finding out how to run a car on water has become somewhat of a quest for many, since gas prices are through the roof. Buying a hybrid car is an option, but they can be expensive, and if you're attached to your current car as I am, finding ways that allow you to make your car more fuel efficient look much more appealing.
Surprisingly, converting your car to run on water is easier than it sounds. The water car technology I speak of is not using 100% water, but instead, a combination of water and fuel. There are simple manuals that explain in simple terms what is needed to help the car to use water in combination with fuel to run.
Many people who have converted their cars have reported at least a 50% increase in fuel efficiency. So if your car or truck currently gets 15 miles to the gallon, using water in conjunction with gas can help your car to get 30 mpg in the same driving conditions. If you save $800 per year with just one converted car, imagine how much you could save if you have more than one car...

Converting your car into a "water car" entails gathering materials to create an easy to make, inexpensive device that uses a small amount of electricity from your car's battery to turn the water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also known as "Hydroxy," burns very efficiently and safely, providing an inexpensive energy source for the car.
A water fueled vehicle runs smoother and cleaner than a regular car, reducing emissions, helping the environment as well as saving the car owner money. Converting a car into a water car will not affect the warranty as long as certain precautions are taken to avoid breaking any rules.
In addition to saving on fuel, many water fueled car owners find that they feel an improvement in they way the car performs very quickly, as it removes carbon build up and prevents future damage. Water cars also tend to run quieter due to the positive effect that water has on the engine's combustion cycle.
Whether you want to learn to run a car on water in order to save money at the pumps, or to help save the environment, there will be a positive effect regardless. To get started, learn more about how this works and how you too can do it yourself on your car. After reading the instructions for water car conversion, you will be amazed at how simple the process is to make water car technology work for you. But be prepared. You just might become a role model for those around you...

Using Conversion Kits To Make Your Car Run On Water

by Cameron Green

The latest addition in the concept of saving money on fuels is the use of water as a fuel in running vehicles. More and more people are today using water fuel technology in their vehicles not only to save on fuel costs, but also to provide a boost to the running efficiency of the vehicle.
Though it may be difficult to believe that it is possible to convert water to fuel, it is a reality. It is possible to fuel automobiles partly on water, so that the consumption of fuel is reduced. This is because of some research researchers have been conducting to find means of enhancing water fuel technology.
Though progress in this field has been great, not much has been revealed to the public for various reasons. However it is known that this project is called Project Deuterium, and is a project that was started over 20 years ago. It is this project that has kept scientists busy trying to extract energy from water.
Fuel dependant countries may be affected with this process
The reason this project has not been revealed or presented to the general public is because of the consequences it brings about to the oil industry. There are quite a few countries in the world where their national economy is greatly dependant on the production and sales of fuel. So if this project is disclosed and implemented in different countries across the world, these countries that depend on oil for their livelihood are sure to get seriously affected with the drop in fuel demands.
Though the technology for converting water to fuel has not been commercialized as yet, you can find many guides on the internet which help you in building your own water car system at home. With the help of the guide, it is possible for anyone, even women to build a system that makes it possible for you to run your vehicle with water, through electrolysis.

The car battery provides electricity for electrolysis
The source of electricity for supplying electrical current for electrolysis to take place will be the car battery. Once the system is installed into the car, it is possible to separate water with the help of electrolysis so that a gas called Oxyhydrogen or Brown gas is extracted from water.
This Brown gas is basically a flammable gas that is burnt so that the car receives energy to run your car or any other vehicle like a truck. However this system doest not run solely on water. You still need some gasoline, in small amounts to convert water into Brown gas for fueling your car.
The reason fuel is required for this process of fuel conversion is because the water used here is not actually the fuel for running the car. It serves more as a booster that helps you improve the performance of your car with limited amount of fuel. This in turn helps you save lots of money for fuel expenditure in your monthly budget.

Wanna run your car on water right NOW? Just pick up a copy of Water Car Pro. Cameron Green has been using the Water Car Pro guide for a long time and is convinced that ANYONE can use this guide to make their car a water burning hybrid. Go there now --> http://www.waterygas.com/water_car_pro.htm

Run Your Car On Water - Is It Possible?

by Jared Price

Have you heard that you can run your car on water? This technology is becoming more widespread by the day, it is also known is "HHO Gas Based Car System". How it works is that it combines water and gas to power your car.
1. How Does This Technology Work?
Well your car will not run on just water, because that technology does not exist. First it extracts HHO from the water, then it uses something called electrolysis (passes a electric current through it).
The gas is then burned to provide energy for you engine to power it up. Your car battery provides the electricity needed for electrolysis.
2. What Are The Benefits Of A Hybrid?
Here is a list of some of the benefits:
-A tax deduction. By driving a environmentally friendly vehicle you are able to write that off on your taxes.

-You are conserving the environment by not spewing as much pollution in the air.
-You are less dependent on gasoline and you can continue to drive your car at an affordable rate which means more freedom.
Alternative fuel sources are being explored very seriously. In fact even the government rewards environmentally clean cars and upgrades. This technology is great for businesses with a lot of cars or trucks especially with diesel now been more than gas. It really can call some tremendous savings...
3. How Can You Have Your Own Water Power Car?
Most people think they have to go out and buy a $25,000 hybrid to get all these great benefits... but you may be shocked to find that you could do this with your car for under $200. The whole process only takes about a day and can be removed in a few minutes... so at least try out this amazing technology. With the 56 day money-back guarantee you have nothing to lose for trying out this technology.

Are gas prices hurting your bank account? Want to run your car on water and save hundreds a month? Discover out how at my site http://www.RunYourCarOnWaterNow.com/.

Your Car Should Get Better Gas Mileage!

by Michael D Cooper

I don't think of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but sometimes I feel like I may behave as one. The reason is that if you get me on the topic of the automotive industry and the fuel efficiency of cars I'll rant for hours (usually until I've cleared the room). OK, I'm not quite that bad anymore-I can gauge the boredom factor of my audience, but I'll tell you one thing for sure. As gas prices start to approach $4/gallon, people aren't dismissing me quite so quickly anymore.
So how's my rant go?
Well the first thing I like to bring up is that cars today really don't get very good gas mileage when compared to the mileage that cars have gotten over the years. Sure we look at the hybrids and we are impressed that they can get over 50MPG, but honestly, that's no great feat. The 1984 Honda Civic Coupe got 64MPG on the highway and 48 in the city. There's no hybrid out there today that can match those numbers-not even the current Honda Civic Hybrid!
The modern Civic Hybrid doesn't get the same mileage for one really simple reason. It's heavier. Much of that extra weight is from all of the creature comforts that we have come to appreciate in our cars (and that massive rechargeable battery in the car's belly). Most people would be surprised to know that modern cars typically outweigh the bulky steel beasts from the 60s and 70s. The 1968 Dodge Charger (the Duke's of Hazard's General Lee) is outweighed by a Toyota Camry by several hundred pounds.
I tell you this because it is necessary to refute one of the most common arguments that I hear against our car's getting better gas mileage: "If the manufacturer's could get better mileage out of our cars, they would."
That is total bunk
If you look at the average MPG of production vehicles in the USA, it hovers around exactly what the government requires those averages to be. When the government raises the CAFÉ requirements, the manufacturers make their cars get more miles per gallon. Sure they complain about it the whole way, because we've all gotten used to having passable fuel economy and all of the bells and whistles too. Now they have to work out a way to give us both. And they can.
Keep in mind that that 1984 Honda civic that got 64 MPG on the highway didn't have fuel injection; it had no computer to regulate its systems - it used a carburetor (essentially a device with tubes shaped like hour glasses) to mix the air and the fuel.
Back in the 60's though the cars weighed about the same, engines were much, much larger. It wasn't unusual at all to have 5.0 liter and larger engines, even over 7.0 liter engines in cars. Many of these engines achieved MPG ratings into the high 20s and low 30s on the highway. I have owned several cars from the late 60s and early 70s that achieved average city MPG ratings of 22MPG with 5.0 Liter engines.

One of the reasons that this is possible is something called compression ratio. One of the things an engine does when it burns gas or diesel is it compresses the air-fuel mixture before it is ignited. The more you compress the mixture the, the more power you get from the ignition. In the late 60s many cars had compression ratios over 11 to 1 (some as high as 13 to 1). Modern cars have compression ratios hovering around 9 to 1. That means that modern engines have as much as a 30% decrease in their compression and the power they can get from the burning of their fuel (depending on a few other factors as well).
Why on earth is the compression ratio so much lower?
I'm certain that this is what you are asking. The reason is both simple and complex. It is the octane rating of the fuel the car burns. When you look at the gas at the pump and you see those numbers on the regular, mid-grade, and premium blends of gas you may not know what they mean, but those are the octane ratings. 87 through 93, typically-depending on altitude. The higher the octane rating, the more you can compress the air-fuel mixture. In 1966, premium gas had an octane rating of 107. That is what allowed engines to compress the mixture so much more.
It's very important to note that a higher compression ratio causes the engine to have a more complete burn (the molecules are closer together and ignite faster) and reduces emissions. High compression ratio = lower emissions = more environmentally friendly.
The next obvious question is why is the octane level so much lower now? That has two reasons. The first is that one of the things that was used to boost octane was lead. We all know that lead is bad and that burning it in your engine makes for a rather unpleasant exhaust. The second is that the petroleum companies determined that the sweet spot for them to get the greatest yield out of their refining processes was to make 87 octane fuel.
If you don't think that the oil companies and refineries do not work in very close concert with the auto manufacturers, you need to think again. If you had a product that had one, very large marketplace, would you not work very closely with the companies that create that marketplace to make sure that your products work well together? And would you not be surprised if mutually beneficial arrangements were reached that did not necessarily benefit the consumer?
If the auto manufacturers were really concerned about MPG rating, and if they were really concerned about the environment, they would have continued making higher compression engines and the petroleum companies would have been the ones forced to modify their product. What actually happened was that the auto manufacturers dropped the compression ratios on their engines and the petroleum companies got to get more bang for their buck and we all burn more gas on less efficient engines. It's a win/win for them and a lose/lose for us.
We know leaded gas is out - but is there anything else?
If you load the Wikipedia article on octane ratings for gasoline you will find a section that lists the octane ratings for different fuels. You'll note that E85 and Methanol can have ratings in the 105-107 range. That's huge. That means that if an engine was made to burn those fuels specifically the compression could be increased and the power and mileage would increase and emissions would decrease.
Unfortunately the so-called 'flex-fuel' cars that are made that can run on E85 and (rarely) methanol still use lower compression ratios and don't get a really significant benefit. A lot like the time you tried premium in your car and saw zero improvement over regular.
So what can we do?
If you haven't gotten this impression yet, let me re-enforce it. The auto manufacturers are only going to go as far as they have to to meet the requirements that the government sets. They will go no further. It's up to us, the public, to take control of our own fates and expect life changing and ground-breaking things from big business and the government.
Just a few short years ago the Ansari X-Prize was announced. 10 Million dollars for the first private company to get a ship into space twice within 2 weeks. Many companies entered with varying degrees of success and many naysayers said it couldn't be done-that only projects with massive funding from the government could get people into space.
Scaled Composites, a US company expended (at my last time of reading) roughly $20 million dollars and got a man into space. The current X-Prize is going to be awarded to the first non-government agency to build a car that can get 100MPG and then win a race against other entrants. The cars have to have things like air conditioning and stereo systems. Already private entrants (often part time hobbyists) are producing prototypes that are getting over 90MPG - from vehicles they are building in their garages.
Just like when the automotive revolution began a century ago, it is the everyday Americans and inventive people from around the world that are stepping up and trying new and exciting things to solve problems that big business and the governments are stymied by.
Get in on the exciting changes.
There are a lot of things you can do and try. From altering your car to burn E85/Methanol (and even if you only get moderate MPG improvement - helping the environment), to burning vegetable oil in your diesel (commonly known as biodiesel), to revolutionary water electrolyzers that extract HHO gas from water and burn it in your engine.

Check out alternativefuelupdate.com to learn about many of these exiting ideas, solutions and products that you can take advantage of to join the revolution and (if you'll forgive my slightly conspiracy theorist sounding term) stick it to the man.
Michael Cooper is an automotive enthusiast and he has been working on cars since he was 8. Visit his new site http://alternativefuelsupdate.com to see the products and technologies he recommends to get better gas mileage.

Water Gas Conversion

by Chen Jingyang

If you are looking around the internet to find ways to cut costs. Chances are you are probably trying to do research about water conversion into fuel as a possible solution to your rising oil prices problem.
As it is the technology surrounding it is not new. Its actually been around for a long time. A decent search on youtube with the words "water for fuel" or "water gas" will actually pull up many videos on how people actually have invented hydrogen engines, or engines that produce hydroxy. The end result is a cleaner and more powerful source of energy which produces 3 times more power than petroleum and a cleaner waste product-water. That said, its seems like a sound solution to the world's global energy crisis and global warming problems. However, why is it the technology so relatively unknown or not well received today.
One conspiracy theory is that the oil companies do not want this technology to grow for fear of losing the economic dominance in the energy market. With such powerful benefits to outfitting your car with a water conversion kit, the introduction of this technology might completely wipe them out of the automotive business or at least reduce a huge part of the pie share. Thus, the technology has been suppressed , but you will be able to find water based inventions on the web. However, no one has yet to be able to go globally with it.

Water is in great abundance and also recyclable, while fossil fuels are being used up at an alarming rate and could run out anytime soon. This being said, its a safe bet to start researching in in renewable form of energy.
There are 3 known forms of hydrogen fueled solutions today. First there is the fuel cell that completely burns up the hydrogen with oxygen from the atmosphere in the Fuel Cells.The end product is oxygen and water vapor. Both which are not green house gases. Hydrogen can burn on its own and the it does so perfectly leaving no other form of residue.The third one is Brown's gas. It is made from water(H2O) and produce through electrolysis. It is a perfect fuel for running these vehicles as it produces more energy than petroleum and the end results in water. Depending on the setup, oxygen may also be produced. It is the perfect solution to the our environmental problems we have today.

Don't Get Scammed When Buying a New Car

by Roberto Beiro

As it is already challenging purchasing a new car, you really don't want the added pressure that some car dealers can put on you. It is normal to haggle with a dealer to lower their price, but don't get caught out by scams designed to con you out of your hard earned dollars. Below I have listed some of these scams for you watch out for next time you are in the market for a new vehicle.
1. The VIN# Scam involves the dealer trying to charge you for having the VIN# etched on the window, citing that it is required by the finance company. This is total rubbish. Lenders are only concerned with your ability to pay the installments.
2. Watch out for the phrase "subject to loan approval". All car loan proposals will have this phrase in it and there are a few unscrupulous dealerships out there that will try and con more money out of you by quoting this phrase as the reason why. If you have good credit this isn't something for you to worry about. This scam is usually pulled on consumers that may have bad credit, and can mean added finance fees of $1000 or more and an additional $50 a month added to your monthly payment. Getting your car loan from a bank or other financial institution can save you from being caught out.

3. One of the most common scams is the credit score scam. The car dealership will try to give you a higher finance rate by informing you that your credit score is lower than it actually is. Dealerships will try this scam regardless of you credit score. The best way to deal with this greediness is to bring a copy of your credit report with you when you go looking to buy a new car. That way there is no dispute.
4. Next is the forced warranty scam where the auto dealership will insist that in order to qualify for the car loan you will need to purchase a $2000, 2 or 3 year warranty. This is total rubbish and the truth is you don't need the warranty.
5. This is the Dealer prep scam. A dealer will slap an additional $500 charge on the vehicle for work that is not required, because cars are ready to to be driven of the lot when they are received. Try to find a dealership that doesn't charge this ridiculous fee.
6. Another fake fee is the 'dealer mark-up'. This has no purpose other than to increase profits. You can usually see this fee on an orange sticker attached to the manufacturer's suggested retail price.
These are just 6 of the many scams that can surface from time to time when you are attempting to purchase a new car. Although these scams do go on, there are many trustworthy car dealerships with integrity that can and will sale you a car for the right amount of money and without trying to rip you off. The trick is to find that dealership. Good luck!

The Most Overlooked Safety Event - Driving

by Brent A Bowlin

Driving a vehicle is probably the most overlooked safety event in one's life. Personal vehicles are driven to have employees arrive at work, to take kids to soccer practice, and even to deliver goods to customers. Basic precautions take a few moments to check. Millions of people are killed each year. People ages 15-44 account for over half of all deaths due to road traffic injuries. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death by injury worldwide. In North America alone, the equivalent of the passengers on ten 747 jets die in traffic incidents each day.
The basics of vehicle operation are to know how to operate the vehicle and use any related equipment or attachments safely. Be familiar with the location and function of all the controls. A good place to start is the owner's manual. Many of the functions of the vehicle are not covered at the point of purchase. Inspect the vehicle daily. Develop a routine method of inspecting vehicle by doing a quick walk around. Start at the front and do a complete walk around; check the tires, windshield wipers, lights, and for any objects that might be laying in the vehicle's path.
Once inside, adjust seat and controls. Fasten seat belt. Pump the foot brake; the brakes should hold the vehicle and while stopping they should stop the vehicle smoothly. If there is a clutch and gearshift, the shifter shifts smoothly without jumping or jerking. The steering wheel moves smoothly with no play. Make sure all dash controls are functioning properly.

For fleet and commercial vehicles, check the hydraulic systems for operation. If installed check the back-up alarm; if not installed, equip the vehicle with one. Check for the emergency equipment and make sure all required equipment is on board. Check the load and make sure it is secure and complying with regulations. Check the wheels and fasteners and make sure there are no defects in rim or loose or even missing fasteners. While driving listen for strange noises and even smell for unusual odors that may be coming from the vehicle. Wear the seat belt; more people have been injured by not wearing the belt than those who do.
Now that the vehicle has checked and is safe, simple procedures can be learned and practiced to ensure safe driving. Wear the seat belt every time and insist all passengers wear theirs as well. The airbag is a safety device that can inflict injury if precautions are not used; be sure there is at least 10 inches between the air bag and the middle of the chest; never place a rear-facing infant seat in front of an air bag.
Children 12 and under are safest buckled up in the back seat. Use the appropriate child and infant restraints. For child seats, follow the manufacturers' guidelines on installation; over half the checked seats checked by police are being used incorrectly.
Assuming everyone drives like an idiot will improve defensive driving skills. Keep all vehicle windows and mirrors clear so you can see potential hazards. Adjust your speed to the legal limit, the road conditions and your own driving abilities at the time. Slow down if you're tired, distracted, emotional or ill. Drowsy driving, just as drunk driving, can cause a crash within seconds. Get enough sleep before you take the wheel. Also know what medications may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Expect the unexpected. Know what is around the vehicle at all times by checking all mirrors every five to eight seconds. Always keep the eyes moving and use every vantage point to gain information about the road ahead such as a hill top. By observing all areas around the vehicle, an escape movement can be used to avoid an incident.
By checking the vehicle each time before it is started and driving defensively, less traffic incidents will occur. The result will be better insurance rates and less injury in one's life.

Looking To Buy Or Lease A Vehicle?

by Cheryline Lawson

At some point or another you may want to buy or maybe lease a vehicle. There are a few tips that you need to be aware of that will assist you in buying or leasing any vehicle. There may be pitfalls ahead so these tips will help you with what to look for.
• Decide ahead of time what it is you are exactly looking for. You need a vehicle that not only fits within your budget but that also fits your needs. You can read on to find out about our specialized tips to choose a vehicle that is safe. If you want to compare car models and get other tips on buying cars, visit either InternetAutoGuide.com or Edmunds.com.
• Think about the economy of the vehicle you are buying. It is better for the environment and for your bank account if you can find a vehicle that is well maintained and does more miles to the gallon. • Always check the information the seller gives you. When you are buying from a private buyer, make sure they actually own the car they are selling; this will stop problems later on. If you are buying from a professional vehicle dealer, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if they are legitimate.

• Test drive the car. You should always test drive any vehicle you are thinking of buying before you actually do. Go on a route that lets you try different speeds, turns and straights. This will make sure the car runs efficiently.
• Think before trading in. If you are thinking of trading in a vehicle for another one make sure you get quotes to make sure you are getting the best deal.
• Shop around for finance. If you are getting finance for your car look around as much as you can to make sure you are getting the best deal for you. Don't just go for the lowest payment per month; make sure you make a note of the overall APR and any charges you may incur.
• Always read the small print. Make sure that before you sign any documents you have read the entire document before you sign.
• Never take the car until everything is finalized.
Search around for a great deal on insurance policies before you drive your car anywhere. Sometimes is can be more beneficial to lease a car rather than buy it. This all depends on your circumstances. Leasing has never really been a popular option for anyone and many people and steered well clear of leasing. Some leasing agents have misled the buyers and confused them with jargon that a NASA Scientist wouldn't understand.
This isn't the norm however and leasing can be a great option for everyone. When you buy a car on finance and you want to trade it in before the loan is actually paid, you would have been better of leasing. The trade in amount is not likely to be anywhere close to the amount left on your car finance loan.

Volkswagen AC Condenser

by Katherine Hooper

The Key to Volkswagen's Efficient Air Conditioning System
A high level of comfort is what the German car brand Volkswagen offers in every model it makes. Pleasant seating and entertainment features, as well as adequate storage space are just some of those equipped in many Volkswagen models to ensure a smooth ride quality. Aside from those, the air conditioning system of Volkswagen that cools the vehicle's interior is indispensable in providing a pleasant and comfortable ride.
The air conditioning system of a Volkswagen works like the cooling system in the engine. Both systems get rid of heat and release it into the outside air. The engine's cooling system has a coolant, which is a liquid mixture of water and anti-freeze, tasked to absorb heat from various engine parts. Similar to the coolant's role, the air conditioning system's refrigerant is a tasteless and odorless gas that changes to liquid and vice versa as it travels throughout the air conditioning system.

Volkswagen's air conditioning system consists of vital components that are connected by hoses and tubes to move heat from inside the vehicle to the atmosphere. The Volkswagen A/C condenser is similar in appearance and function to the radiator of the engine's cooling system. A large device situated right at the back of the grille and radiator, the Volkswagen A/C condenser allows heat to pass from the warm refrigerant to the colder air outside. Its series of tubes covered by thin fins give a big area for heat to be dispelled. The hot and compressed refrigerant coming from the compressor goes to the top of the condenser, where it is cooled off. Then the refrigerant, which is in a gaseous state, condenses and leaves through the bottom of the condenser as a high-pressure liquid.
There are two types of A/C condenser used for air conditioning systems, depending on the design. The A/C condenser with a serpentine design is composed of a long tube with cooling fins between the tubes. On the other hand, the A/C condenser with a parallel flow design is where the refrigerant flows across multiple passages, giving a bigger surface area for the cooler air to contact.
