DON'T GET TRICKED BY THE CAR DEALER Part 2 - The most widespread trick currently being used is to make the customer believe that the salesperson can get the lowest price for the car, so that you (the customer) will start negotiations with the dealer almost immediately. The specific methods vary, but here are some common ways of doing it:
The salesperson will tell you. ’You could probably get the car for less than $36,250…’, but will avoid giving a specific price. Instead, the salesperson will say, ‘When you are ready to buy, we can strike a deal, are you ready to buy now?’
The salesperson tells the customer: ‘If you're going to spend more than $36,250 on the car, you should come back and see me’. When the customer returns and asks to buy the car for $36,250, the salesperson will point out that he/she never promised to sell you the car for $36,250, but is ready to give you the best price when you are ready to buy. ‘Do you want me to get a good price for you? …so are you ready to buy now?’. We all know that buying a new or used car can be a daunting process however; at discountnewcars.com.au, you will find the latest car specials from reliable dealers.
Your salesperson may give the price for an older model car. Either the ‘old’ car is a previous model, or perhaps it has been gathering dust because no one has wanted to buy it (usually for good reason) and the dealer wants to get rid of it quickly to make room for newer models. This is likely to happen if you don’t think carefully and specifically ask for the price for a current model car that is not older than 3 months. Be wise and search OzFreeOnline.com, where they have thousands of cars in their cars classifieds pages. By simply registering and submitting a keyword search, you will find the car you want in no time.
The other ploy is when the salesperson takes your credit card along with an insufficiently low offer to ‘the boss’ for approval, but then returns to say it was not accepted. This is intended to drag the customer into more negotiations. i.e. ‘…we only need to increase it slightly and she’s yours..."
Don’t get caught by being given the price for the car excluding the on-road costs. If you don’t specifically ask for on-road costs to be included, the sales person will most likely give you the excluding on-road costs price. Of course, you have to be guarded because your contract may be drawn up on this proviso. Trouble is that when you are ready to sign, the ‘quoted’ price of the car, will then be understated by many thousands of dollars.
If you are a bit slow and think your car is worth more than it really is, you just might get a clever salesperson that will give in, and agree to an excessive price for your trade in. Now you might be pleased by this, because you may be thinking that you are ‘putting one over’ the dealer. No so, generally the sales person will look up on the computer or in the Car Dealers Price Guide to find out the going price for your trade in and will start from there. In addition, believe me; you will pay for it in the end. How you ask? Well when the dealer charges TOO much for your new car. You can check on the internet for a price as well, so go to gumtree.com.au, so you are armed with the real price, when you go to trade your motor vehicle.
From time to time, a ruthless sales person will have a go at this. He/she will contact you before your new car is delivered. When the niceties are over you will be told that there is an issue with the trade in. You will be asked to bring the car into the workshop for further inspection. When your vehicle has been in the garage, for 60 minutes, (having nothing done to it), the salesperson will tell you that the mechanic claims to have found it is really only worth $500 less than what they have offered for it. Watch for this old ruse, because if you fall for it, the sales person gets another $500 in his pocket. To make sure this does not happen to you go to OzFreeOnline.com and check out the great car deals in their Car classifieds. You will find thousands of cars to choose from and be equipped with all the information you need when you arrive to look at the car you want to buy.
Now if you don’t want to be pursued by a dealer just don’t give a phone number. Say ‘it's a silent number’, ‘...don’t have a mobile’, ‘can't leave a work number’, or at the test drive ‘accidentally’ give the wrong phone number. If you don’t, dealers will sometimes pursue a potential customer until they wear them down to buy.
Even after continual phoning, and when you end up buying from a different dealer, the sales person (who has missed out on the deal) will then give you the bad news. When you tell them you bought elsewhere (at a very good price of $34,550) they will say, ‘Oh no, you shouldn’t have paid any more than $32,000 for it!’ This is designed to make you feel as bad as the salesperson, who lost out too. It also highlights just how spiteful some people can be.
No matter when, where or which dealership you may stroll into, there is always a reason to feel ‘lucky’, according to the keen sales person. Early in the month, they might say they missed their target last month and are desperate to make it up. During the middle of the month, ‘the boss has told me to push out more cars or I'll never reach my target this month either’. The most common, is probably the most used because most people fall for it. This is the end of the month trick.
The time of month may matter to some dealers sometimes, though; it never matters to a car broker. Beware of this because you may end up paying more than you expected. Go online to consumer.vic.gov.au and find out the information you need before rushing headlong into the ‘big end of financial year deal’. This trick deserves serious consideration. It is the most elaborate trick of this type. Manufacturers know that companies often buy around this time of year for accounting purposes. They therefore rarely offer any factory discounts, and they sometimes increase their retail prices to take advantage. To find a great deal on a car why not log on to OzFreeOnline.com. It’s Australia’s largest free classifieds site. You will find auto classifieds, motorcycle classifieds, and Australian cars for sale all over the country.

The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers
To contact us Click HERE
The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers - Italy may be the home of the Ferrari and Lamborghini – the fiercest beasts on the road, but that didnt keep the Vatican from releasing a set of "Ten Commandments" for drivers to keep “sins” at bay.
The 10 Commandments for drivers tells motorists not to kill, not to drink and drive, and to help fellow travelers in case of accidents. Aimed at the faithful not just in Italy but around the world, the document also encouraged bishops to set up chapels along highways and have "periodic celebrations of liturgies" at truck stops, as well as encouraged motorists to pray while on the road.
Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the office, told a news conference that the Vatican felt it necessary to address the pastoral needs of motorists because driving had become such a big part of contemporary life.
"We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads," Martino said. "That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."
Here are the "Drivers' Ten Commandments":
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
But the Vatican apparently isn’t the first from the religious profession to deal with this issue. Inside Line reports that long before the Vatican issued its 10 Commandments for motorists this week, a small Catholic group in Mississippi has already been busy concerning itself with the same issues: the Sacred Heart Auto League has been promoting "prayerful and careful driving" since 1955 —offering visor clips, key chains and other car-related prayer aids on its Web site.

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis - Global positioning system navigators, or GPS navigators, are now beginning to become an integral part in communications and safety. It has a number of uses, most of which are not new to most people anymore, although there are still some who are still not familiar with how GPS navigators work, and what it can do. Nonetheless, more and more businesses, including telecommunications companies, are beginning to explore its different uses and applications, and expanding its capabilities. One such application for GPS navigators can be found in today’s taxis.
Benefits of GPS
Taxis use the GPS navigators mainly to ensure their safety, as well as provide an effective dispatching system that most taxi fleets are able to benefit from. Basically, what GPS navigators in taxi fleet’s communication systems do is it helps them dispatch, trace, rescue, and even manage the different taxis in the fleet. It also offers services not only for the taxi driver, but to the passenger as well, providing them with an e-map and a chance to check their location and some other information that they may find the need to know. If a taxi is vacant, busy or in rest conditions, the dispatcher will be able to know through the GPS navigator. These new technological advancements in taxis are very overwhelming, but not all people truly understand how much this system can benefit the taxis, thereby minimizing their understanding of how necessary it is for taxis to function to their utmost potential.
Fast dispatching
One of the main things that GPS navigators help taxis do is that they allow taxis to get to their potential customers in the quickest amount of time. The GPS navigator helps pinpoint the taxis location, as well as indicate where the customer is located. If the dispatcher knows this information, and is able to see it, he can immediately locate and assign the nearest taxi to the customer, thereby saving time and money for both of them. There is no more need for taxis to look for their customers, especially in unfamiliar streets, since the GPS navigator can help locate their positions, and direct the taxi to the customer, thereby reducing the time that it would take for a taxi driver to get to his potential passenger.
Accurate driving
This will also allow taxis to cut down the cost of their fuel consumption, as well as decrease air pollution since they move only move with pinpoint accuracy. No more unnecessary driving since the GPS navigator is able to provide taxis with high-accuracy e-maps that can pinpoint their exact location, as well as their passengers.
Safety feature
Another feature that GPS navigators are able to provide is the safety that it can bring to both the driver as well as the passenger. Whenever the taxi is experiencing problems or emergencies, the GPS navigator allows the driver or the passenger to call for help through the dispatcher, making it easier for them to get to the location of the taxi since they know exactly where they are. The dispatcher is able to monitor the vehicle at all times, which can help increase his reaction time when unfortunate things would occur.

Why I'll Never Drive Without Rubber Floormats

Why I'll Never Drive Without Rubber Floormats - I’ve always been a frugal person, saving every penny and trying to build up my savings. Some people thought I was just a tightwad, but the truth was that I was saving up for a very special purchase: a ’67 Mustang! For some reason I have always loved the bold stylings of Mustangs and I was really excited when I finally got mine and drove it into my garage.
For the first week, I never even took it out. Instead, I spent every minute I could waxing and kissing its surface, and tenderly vacuuming every crevice.
Finally, the big day arrived. I turned the key and slowly drove out into afternoon sunshine. My first stop was my friend Tim’s house. He was wowed by the car and insisted that we go out on a drive. His dog Champ leapt in the car with us. Little did I know that Champ would be the cause of my worst nightmare. A few minutes after we started driving, Champ started whimpering and making strange noises. A pungent odor began to fill the air. Tim and I turned to look and we simultaneously screamed: “Ahhh! Doggy diarrhea!”
It was true. My interior had been befouled.
The next day was gross and heartbreaking, but I managed to clean up the mess. Then I laid my hands on the hood of the car and swore a sacred oath: “I swear by Ford that I will henceforth allow no creature to soil thy interior.”
I went online and began to research all the floormat options that are available nowadays. From carpeted to all-weather, it seemed that there was something for every situation. Then, I saw what I was looking for: rubber floor mats. Just as you shouldn’t hit the nightclubs without a few rubbers in your pocket, you shouldn’t drive without quality rubbers in your car. This goes double if you live in proximity to a canine with an explosive diarrhea disease.
It was great because the mats were made for a customized fit and could be easily hosed off should a spill happen. Plus, the underside was ridged so the thing would stay put and not slide around.
If your looking for automobile accessories, I’d recommend checking out a quality set of car mats, and in particular, rubber floor mats.

Protecting your Vehicle's Treasure

Protecting your Vehicle's Treasure - Engine protection is one of the things car owners should make sure of, second to passenger protection. The reason for this is already obvious as the engine is undoubtedly the most important part in a vehicle. Car owners cannot afford to have their vehicle’s engine damaged or they can just forget about ever driving their vehicles again (that is, if damage is already beyond repair). To an extent though, protection for the engine is already provided for by automakers with the installation of the car hood.
Vehicles before were traditionally equipped with hoods that were only simple metal sheets. These days, hoods are made to have both an inner and outer panel to better protect the engines. The outer panel is what serves as the engine cover and the inner panel offers support for the outer panel. Also, for optimal engine protection, automakers usually make use of polyurethane as materials involved in the manufacture of their hoods. This is very much ideal since it exhibits great heat resistance, helping engines avoid overheating.
In addition, hoods installed in vehicles today already come along with a variety of stylish accessories such as hood scoops, hood spoilers, and nose protectors. These hood accessories are not only designed to provide hoods with style, they have other functions as well. For one, nose protectors are installed on the hood’s front end to protect them from road debris. For another, hood spoilers are installed to minimize air drag. Hood scoops, on the other hand, are used to help direct the outside air into the air filter. It is also possible for some hoods to have built-in scoops already so car owners do not have to buy this accessory.
Hoods are generally strong and durable in nature so they don’t get easily damaged. But when head-on collisions happen, they are among the first ones to experience major damages. Replacement is their only solution which their owners should get as soon as possible.

But the Vatican apparently isn’t the first from the religious profession to deal with this issue. Inside Line reports that long before the Vatican issued its 10 Commandments for motorists this week, a small Catholic group in Mississippi has already been busy concerning itself with the same issues: the Sacred Heart Auto League has been promoting "prayerful and careful driving" since 1955 —offering visor clips, key chains and other car-related prayer aids on its Web site.

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis - Global positioning system navigators, or GPS navigators, are now beginning to become an integral part in communications and safety. It has a number of uses, most of which are not new to most people anymore, although there are still some who are still not familiar with how GPS navigators work, and what it can do. Nonetheless, more and more businesses, including telecommunications companies, are beginning to explore its different uses and applications, and expanding its capabilities. One such application for GPS navigators can be found in today’s taxis.
Benefits of GPS
Taxis use the GPS navigators mainly to ensure their safety, as well as provide an effective dispatching system that most taxi fleets are able to benefit from. Basically, what GPS navigators in taxi fleet’s communication systems do is it helps them dispatch, trace, rescue, and even manage the different taxis in the fleet. It also offers services not only for the taxi driver, but to the passenger as well, providing them with an e-map and a chance to check their location and some other information that they may find the need to know. If a taxi is vacant, busy or in rest conditions, the dispatcher will be able to know through the GPS navigator. These new technological advancements in taxis are very overwhelming, but not all people truly understand how much this system can benefit the taxis, thereby minimizing their understanding of how necessary it is for taxis to function to their utmost potential.
Fast dispatching
One of the main things that GPS navigators help taxis do is that they allow taxis to get to their potential customers in the quickest amount of time. The GPS navigator helps pinpoint the taxis location, as well as indicate where the customer is located. If the dispatcher knows this information, and is able to see it, he can immediately locate and assign the nearest taxi to the customer, thereby saving time and money for both of them. There is no more need for taxis to look for their customers, especially in unfamiliar streets, since the GPS navigator can help locate their positions, and direct the taxi to the customer, thereby reducing the time that it would take for a taxi driver to get to his potential passenger.
Accurate driving
This will also allow taxis to cut down the cost of their fuel consumption, as well as decrease air pollution since they move only move with pinpoint accuracy. No more unnecessary driving since the GPS navigator is able to provide taxis with high-accuracy e-maps that can pinpoint their exact location, as well as their passengers.
Safety feature
Another feature that GPS navigators are able to provide is the safety that it can bring to both the driver as well as the passenger. Whenever the taxi is experiencing problems or emergencies, the GPS navigator allows the driver or the passenger to call for help through the dispatcher, making it easier for them to get to the location of the taxi since they know exactly where they are. The dispatcher is able to monitor the vehicle at all times, which can help increase his reaction time when unfortunate things would occur.

Why I'll Never Drive Without Rubber Floormats

Why I'll Never Drive Without Rubber Floormats - I’ve always been a frugal person, saving every penny and trying to build up my savings. Some people thought I was just a tightwad, but the truth was that I was saving up for a very special purchase: a ’67 Mustang! For some reason I have always loved the bold stylings of Mustangs and I was really excited when I finally got mine and drove it into my garage.
For the first week, I never even took it out. Instead, I spent every minute I could waxing and kissing its surface, and tenderly vacuuming every crevice.
Finally, the big day arrived. I turned the key and slowly drove out into afternoon sunshine. My first stop was my friend Tim’s house. He was wowed by the car and insisted that we go out on a drive. His dog Champ leapt in the car with us. Little did I know that Champ would be the cause of my worst nightmare. A few minutes after we started driving, Champ started whimpering and making strange noises. A pungent odor began to fill the air. Tim and I turned to look and we simultaneously screamed: “Ahhh! Doggy diarrhea!”
It was true. My interior had been befouled.
The next day was gross and heartbreaking, but I managed to clean up the mess. Then I laid my hands on the hood of the car and swore a sacred oath: “I swear by Ford that I will henceforth allow no creature to soil thy interior.”
I went online and began to research all the floormat options that are available nowadays. From carpeted to all-weather, it seemed that there was something for every situation. Then, I saw what I was looking for: rubber floor mats. Just as you shouldn’t hit the nightclubs without a few rubbers in your pocket, you shouldn’t drive without quality rubbers in your car. This goes double if you live in proximity to a canine with an explosive diarrhea disease.
It was great because the mats were made for a customized fit and could be easily hosed off should a spill happen. Plus, the underside was ridged so the thing would stay put and not slide around.
If your looking for automobile accessories, I’d recommend checking out a quality set of car mats, and in particular, rubber floor mats.

How to Avoid Overheating
To contact us Click HERE
How to Avoid Overheating - No one wants their engine to overheat. No one wants to run late for a very important meeting just because the car failed to start. People buy cars because they rely on these modes of transportation to bring them to places, safely and in time. But what happens when engine problems start to get in the way? It is, thus, handy for the modern-day driver to be knowledgeable in basic engine maintenance measures. They must know that when the engine overheats, it is most likely their own fault for being careless. The basic engine check-ups were probably missed, or maybe the car is already being driven to the ground. The latter usually happens when the car is forced to use up too much power. Power is usually achieved at a high temperature. So when there’s too much heat, the car fails.
In order to avoid these instances, a cooling system is employed onto the car. The cooling system has two tasks to fulfill. It aims to lessen the temperature inside the engine bay, and then it must keep that temperature consistent. Having a consistent range of temperature will make the engine keep on combusting without emitting too much heat. Most cars are implemented with a fan clutch. This is one device that helps drivers avoid overheating. A fan clutch is basically a “small fluid coupling” which controls a speed fan. Hence, the fan clutch makes sure that the cooling fan will speed up its operation. This will greatly help in preventing the engine from overheating. Impressively, aftermarket part makers specified that the fan clutch must bear a fluid coupling. This makes it able to accomplish this task effectively. Installing a fan clutch is one modern way to be worry-free from overheating woes.
If in case one finds themselves already stuck in the situation, he or she must pop the hood open and check the engine bay. Checking for any punctured hose is a good start. When the coolant leaks, the cooling system loses its catalyst and ends up overheating. The same reasoning applies if, upon checking, it becomes apparent that something merely got stuck in the cooling fan. Thus, stopping fan blades from rotating. The cause of the trouble, this time, is most probably the lack of enough air directed into the engine compartment to cool and regulate the temperature. This, again, explains the overheating. In the end, no one really wants their engine to overheat and suffer from the inevitable consequences. Hence, with a great deal of caution and a lot of careful checking, they won’t have to.

DON'T GET TRICKED BY THE CAR DEALER Part 2
To contact us Click HERE
DON'T GET TRICKED BY THE CAR DEALER Part 2 - The most widespread trick currently being used is to make the customer believe that the salesperson can get the lowest price for the car, so that you (the customer) will start negotiations with the dealer almost immediately. The specific methods vary, but here are some common ways of doing it:
The salesperson will tell you. ’You could probably get the car for less than $36,250…’, but will avoid giving a specific price. Instead, the salesperson will say, ‘When you are ready to buy, we can strike a deal, are you ready to buy now?’
The salesperson tells the customer: ‘If you're going to spend more than $36,250 on the car, you should come back and see me’. When the customer returns and asks to buy the car for $36,250, the salesperson will point out that he/she never promised to sell you the car for $36,250, but is ready to give you the best price when you are ready to buy. ‘Do you want me to get a good price for you? …so are you ready to buy now?’. We all know that buying a new or used car can be a daunting process however; at discountnewcars.com.au, you will find the latest car specials from reliable dealers.
Your salesperson may give the price for an older model car. Either the ‘old’ car is a previous model, or perhaps it has been gathering dust because no one has wanted to buy it (usually for good reason) and the dealer wants to get rid of it quickly to make room for newer models. This is likely to happen if you don’t think carefully and specifically ask for the price for a current model car that is not older than 3 months. Be wise and search OzFreeOnline.com, where they have thousands of cars in their cars classifieds pages. By simply registering and submitting a keyword search, you will find the car you want in no time.
The other ploy is when the salesperson takes your credit card along with an insufficiently low offer to ‘the boss’ for approval, but then returns to say it was not accepted. This is intended to drag the customer into more negotiations. i.e. ‘…we only need to increase it slightly and she’s yours..."
Don’t get caught by being given the price for the car excluding the on-road costs. If you don’t specifically ask for on-road costs to be included, the sales person will most likely give you the excluding on-road costs price. Of course, you have to be guarded because your contract may be drawn up on this proviso. Trouble is that when you are ready to sign, the ‘quoted’ price of the car, will then be understated by many thousands of dollars.
If you are a bit slow and think your car is worth more than it really is, you just might get a clever salesperson that will give in, and agree to an excessive price for your trade in. Now you might be pleased by this, because you may be thinking that you are ‘putting one over’ the dealer. No so, generally the sales person will look up on the computer or in the Car Dealers Price Guide to find out the going price for your trade in and will start from there. In addition, believe me; you will pay for it in the end. How you ask? Well when the dealer charges TOO much for your new car. You can check on the internet for a price as well, so go to gumtree.com.au, so you are armed with the real price, when you go to trade your motor vehicle.
From time to time, a ruthless sales person will have a go at this. He/she will contact you before your new car is delivered. When the niceties are over you will be told that there is an issue with the trade in. You will be asked to bring the car into the workshop for further inspection. When your vehicle has been in the garage, for 60 minutes, (having nothing done to it), the salesperson will tell you that the mechanic claims to have found it is really only worth $500 less than what they have offered for it. Watch for this old ruse, because if you fall for it, the sales person gets another $500 in his pocket. To make sure this does not happen to you go to OzFreeOnline.com and check out the great car deals in their Car classifieds. You will find thousands of cars to choose from and be equipped with all the information you need when you arrive to look at the car you want to buy.
Now if you don’t want to be pursued by a dealer just don’t give a phone number. Say ‘it's a silent number’, ‘...don’t have a mobile’, ‘can't leave a work number’, or at the test drive ‘accidentally’ give the wrong phone number. If you don’t, dealers will sometimes pursue a potential customer until they wear them down to buy.
Even after continual phoning, and when you end up buying from a different dealer, the sales person (who has missed out on the deal) will then give you the bad news. When you tell them you bought elsewhere (at a very good price of $34,550) they will say, ‘Oh no, you shouldn’t have paid any more than $32,000 for it!’ This is designed to make you feel as bad as the salesperson, who lost out too. It also highlights just how spiteful some people can be.
No matter when, where or which dealership you may stroll into, there is always a reason to feel ‘lucky’, according to the keen sales person. Early in the month, they might say they missed their target last month and are desperate to make it up. During the middle of the month, ‘the boss has told me to push out more cars or I'll never reach my target this month either’. The most common, is probably the most used because most people fall for it. This is the end of the month trick.
The time of month may matter to some dealers sometimes, though; it never matters to a car broker. Beware of this because you may end up paying more than you expected. Go online to consumer.vic.gov.au and find out the information you need before rushing headlong into the ‘big end of financial year deal’. This trick deserves serious consideration. It is the most elaborate trick of this type. Manufacturers know that companies often buy around this time of year for accounting purposes. They therefore rarely offer any factory discounts, and they sometimes increase their retail prices to take advantage. To find a great deal on a car why not log on to OzFreeOnline.com.

The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers
To contact us Click HERE
The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers - Italy may be the home of the Ferrari and Lamborghini – the fiercest beasts on the road, but that didnt keep the Vatican from releasing a set of "Ten Commandments" for drivers to keep “sins” at bay.
The 10 Commandments for drivers tells motorists not to kill, not to drink and drive, and to help fellow travelers in case of accidents. Aimed at the faithful not just in Italy but around the world, the document also encouraged bishops to set up chapels along highways and have "periodic celebrations of liturgies" at truck stops, as well as encouraged motorists to pray while on the road.
Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the office, told a news conference that the Vatican felt it necessary to address the pastoral needs of motorists because driving had become such a big part of contemporary life.
"We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads," Martino said. "That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."
Here are the "Drivers' Ten Commandments":
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
But the Vatican apparently isn’t the first from the religious profession to deal with this issue. Inside Line reports that long before the Vatican issued its 10 Commandments for motorists this week, a small Catholic group in Mississippi has already been busy concerning itself with the same issues: the Sacred Heart Auto League has been promoting "prayerful and careful driving" since 1955 —offering visor clips, key chains and other car-related prayer aids on its Web site.

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis - Global positioning system navigators, or GPS navigators, are now beginning to become an integral part in communications and safety. It has a number of uses, most of which are not new to most people anymore, although there are still some who are still not familiar with how GPS navigators work, and what it can do. Nonetheless, more and more businesses, including telecommunications companies, are beginning to explore its different uses and applications, and expanding its capabilities. One such application for GPS navigators can be found in today’s taxis.
Benefits of GPS
Taxis use the GPS navigators mainly to ensure their safety, as well as provide an effective dispatching system that most taxi fleets are able to benefit from. Basically, what GPS navigators in taxi fleet’s communication systems do is it helps them dispatch, trace, rescue, and even manage the different taxis in the fleet. It also offers services not only for the taxi driver, but to the passenger as well, providing them with an e-map and a chance to check their location and some other information that they may find the need to know. If a taxi is vacant, busy or in rest conditions, the dispatcher will be able to know through the GPS navigator. These new technological advancements in taxis are very overwhelming, but not all people truly understand how much this system can benefit the taxis, thereby minimizing their understanding of how necessary it is for taxis to function to their utmost potential.
Fast dispatching
One of the main things that GPS navigators help taxis do is that they allow taxis to get to their potential customers in the quickest amount of time. The GPS navigator helps pinpoint the taxis location, as well as indicate where the customer is located. If the dispatcher knows this information, and is able to see it, he can immediately locate and assign the nearest taxi to the customer, thereby saving time and money for both of them. There is no more need for taxis to look for their customers, especially in unfamiliar streets, since the GPS navigator can help locate their positions, and direct the taxi to the customer, thereby reducing the time that it would take for a taxi driver to get to his potential passenger.
Accurate driving
This will also allow taxis to cut down the cost of their fuel consumption, as well as decrease air pollution since they move only move with pinpoint accuracy. No more unnecessary driving since the GPS navigator is able to provide taxis with high-accuracy e-maps that can pinpoint their exact location, as well as their passengers.
Safety feature
Another feature that GPS navigators are able to provide is the safety that it can bring to both the driver as well as the passenger. Whenever the taxi is experiencing problems or emergencies, the GPS navigator allows the driver or the passenger to call for help through the dispatcher, making it easier for them to get to the location of the taxi since they know exactly where they are. The dispatcher is able to monitor the vehicle at all times, which can help increase his reaction time when unfortunate things would occur.

These new technological advancements in taxis are very overwhelming, but not all people truly understand how much this system can benefit the taxis, thereby minimizing their understanding of how necessary it is for taxis to function to their utmost potential.
Fast dispatching
One of the main things that GPS navigators help taxis do is that they allow taxis to get to their potential customers in the quickest amount of time. The GPS navigator helps pinpoint the taxis location, as well as indicate where the customer is located. If the dispatcher knows this information, and is able to see it, he can immediately locate and assign the nearest taxi to the customer, thereby saving time and money for both of them. There is no more need for taxis to look for their customers, especially in unfamiliar streets, since the GPS navigator can help locate their positions, and direct the taxi to the customer, thereby reducing the time that it would take for a taxi driver to get to his potential passenger.
Accurate driving
This will also allow taxis to cut down the cost of their fuel consumption, as well as decrease air pollution since they move only move with pinpoint accuracy. No more unnecessary driving since the GPS navigator is able to provide taxis with high-accuracy e-maps that can pinpoint their exact location, as well as their passengers.
Safety feature
Another feature that GPS navigators are able to provide is the safety that it can bring to both the driver as well as the passenger. Whenever the taxi is experiencing problems or emergencies, the GPS navigator allows the driver or the passenger to call for help through the dispatcher, making it easier for them to get to the location of the taxi since they know exactly where they are. The dispatcher is able to monitor the vehicle at all times, which can help increase his reaction time when unfortunate things would occur.

Why I'll Never Drive Without Rubber Floormats - I’ve always been a frugal person, saving every penny and trying to build up my savings. Some people thought I was just a tightwad, but the truth was that I was saving up for a very special purchase: a ’67 Mustang! For some reason I have always loved the bold stylings of Mustangs and I was really excited when I finally got mine and drove it into my garage.
For the first week, I never even took it out. Instead, I spent every minute I could waxing and kissing its surface, and tenderly vacuuming every crevice.
Finally, the big day arrived. I turned the key and slowly drove out into afternoon sunshine. My first stop was my friend Tim’s house. He was wowed by the car and insisted that we go out on a drive. His dog Champ leapt in the car with us. Little did I know that Champ would be the cause of my worst nightmare. A few minutes after we started driving, Champ started whimpering and making strange noises. A pungent odor began to fill the air. Tim and I turned to look and we simultaneously screamed: “Ahhh! Doggy diarrhea!”
It was true. My interior had been befouled.
The next day was gross and heartbreaking, but I managed to clean up the mess. Then I laid my hands on the hood of the car and swore a sacred oath: “I swear by Ford that I will henceforth allow no creature to soil thy interior.”
I went online and began to research all the floormat options that are available nowadays. From carpeted to all-weather, it seemed that there was something for every situation. Then, I saw what I was looking for: rubber floor mats. Just as you shouldn’t hit the nightclubs without a few rubbers in your pocket, you shouldn’t drive without quality rubbers in your car. This goes double if you live in proximity to a canine with an explosive diarrhea disease.
It was great because the mats were made for a customized fit and could be easily hosed off should a spill happen. Plus, the underside was ridged so the thing would stay put and not slide around.
If your looking for automobile accessories, I’d recommend checking out a quality set of car mats, and in particular, rubber floor mats.

Keeping Engines Steady
To contact us Click HERE
Keeping Engines Steady - The engine is the most important part of any vehicle. Without it, there will be no means of supplying power to a number of car parts. The internal combustion process will not take place too without an engine. Even with all the innovations made in the automotive industry, a car still needs an engine. This is why engine maintenance is always a top priority.
When there is car failure, the primary suspect is the engine. Typically, one would pop the hood open, and immediately begin inspecting the engine bay. Among the many components and peripherals of the engine, an engine mount is one of the most crucial. The engine mount is the adjoining device used between the engine and the chassis. Also, it basically carries the engine to keep it steady even in the midst of vibrations brought about by the chassis. Failure of the engine mount may not necessarily lead to the failure of the car. But, it affects the performance of the engine. This is all the more evident during acceleration. When the engine mount becomes too weak, excessive noise is one result. This often takes the form of disturbing, clunking sounds that happen as the car speeds up.
Sometimes, a bigger symptom of having failed engine mounts is when they create vibrations in car seats. These vibrations will often be felt when the speed of the car is at a high. This bouncy feeling, of course, is very irritating especially if one knows how easy it is to prevent such troubles from happening. When these symptoms are experienced, then it’s high time for a car owner to secure replacements. Engine mounts usually last for 60,000 miles. So when one decides to get some tune-ups, have the engine mount checked for rust too.
The engine is indeed a really critical part of the car. It is connected to various parts and systems. When one of them fails, the engine will also suffer. It is therefore not only the oils that need to be replaced every tune-up session. It is also a must that the engine is fastened sturdily, and connected effectively to the chassis. So before one starts to make the engine kick out hundreds of horsepower, keeping it steady must come first.

The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers
To contact us Click HERE
The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers - Italy may be the home of the Ferrari and Lamborghini – the fiercest beasts on the road, but that didnt keep the Vatican from releasing a set of "Ten Commandments" for drivers to keep “sins” at bay.
The 10 Commandments for drivers tells motorists not to kill, not to drink and drive, and to help fellow travelers in case of accidents. Aimed at the faithful not just in Italy but around the world, the document also encouraged bishops to set up chapels along highways and have "periodic celebrations of liturgies" at truck stops, as well as encouraged motorists to pray while on the road.
Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the office, told a news conference that the Vatican felt it necessary to address the pastoral needs of motorists because driving had become such a big part of contemporary life.
"We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads," Martino said. "That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."
Here are the "Drivers' Ten Commandments":
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
But the Vatican apparently isn’t the first from the religious profession to deal with this issue. Inside Line reports that long before the Vatican issued its 10 Commandments for motorists this week, a small Catholic group in Mississippi has already been busy concerning itself with the same issues: the Sacred Heart Auto League has been promoting "prayerful and careful driving" since 1955 —offering visor clips, key chains and other car-related prayer aids on its Web site.

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis

Why GPS Navigators Are Necessary For Today's Taxis - Global positioning system navigators, or GPS navigators, are now beginning to become an integral part in communications and safety. It has a number of uses, most of which are not new to most people anymore, although there are still some who are still not familiar with how GPS navigators work, and what it can do. Nonetheless, more and more businesses, including telecommunications companies, are beginning to explore its different uses and applications, and expanding its capabilities. One such application for GPS navigators can be found in today’s taxis.
Benefits of GPS
Taxis use the GPS navigators mainly to ensure their safety, as well as provide an effective dispatching system that most taxi fleets are able to benefit from. Basically, what GPS navigators in taxi fleet’s communication systems do is it helps them dispatch, trace, rescue, and even manage the different taxis in the fleet. It also offers services not only for the taxi driver, but to the passenger as well, providing them with an e-map and a chance to check their location and some other information that they may find the need to know. If a taxi is vacant, busy or in rest conditions, the dispatcher will be able to know through the GPS navigator. These new technological advancements in taxis are very overwhelming, but not all people truly understand how much this system can benefit the taxis, thereby minimizing their understanding of how necessary it is for taxis to function to their utmost potential.

Know When to Scrap Your Car and How to Go About It
To contact us Click HERE
Know When to Scrap Your Car and How to Go About It - When you first buy your car (especially if you buy it brand new from a car dealership), you were probably head over heels in love with it. And like all lovers, you probably tended your car with all the love and attention your wife would have wanted but that you couldn’t give her (because she’s not a car, to put it simply.) But all cars, regardless of how much love and attention we put into them, will inevitably wear down, decay, and get to the point that the most merciful thing you can do with your beloved car is to either donate it to a car museum or sell it for scrap. So when should you scrap your car and how do you go about it?
One common reason even the best cars go for scrap is that the current owner just cannot cope with the cost of maintaining the car anymore. The older your car gets, the harder it becomes to find spare parts for it, to keep the car in good working condition, to find mechanics who know how to treat the peculiar problems that old cars get, and even to find appropriate storage facilities for your aging car. All these problems will cost you money (like when you need to rent storage space to park your car in) – and of course, you too aren’t getting any younger so there might come a point when you have to choose between financing your own needs and that of your car, you opt to scrap your car instead.
If you do opt to scrap your car, you are actually doing not just yourself a favor, but you might also be serving the community. To scrap your car, you should take into consideration just how much your car is worth to other people. Like, is your car a vintage motor vehicle? If so, there might be considerable demand for the different car parts that will be produced when you do scrap your car. One collector might pay a hefty price just for your steering wheel, another might like your hubcaps, and yet another might give you a pretty penny for the body of your aging car (well, she was always a beauty anyway.) At times like these, you may feel that taking care of your car all these years the way you did is certainly paying off for you.
Some of you might get emotional when it is time to scrap your car, because you may feel a special bond to this motor vehicle which has served you for so long, so faithfully. Some people even have special nicknames for their cars. So you might want to get someone else to scrap your car for you if you feel such a strong bond to your vehicle. There are companies that specialize in the scrap-your-car business – some of these simply dump the car in a car compacting machine. If that is not the untimely end you want for your car, be sure you know what type of company in the scrap-your-car business you are trying to contact. You probably want a scrap-your-car company that will take apart your car carefully so that any valuable parts worth selling will retain their market value.
Nowadays, it is no longer a matter of just deciding on your own to scrap your car – government has also made specific rules for the public to follow regarding how to scrap your car, and when. Be sure to learn what these rules are and any benefits that come with following the regulations (like possible tax breaks for you.)

The Reason behind Better Driving
To contact us Click HERE
The Reason behind Better Driving - Building automobiles involves complicated procedures as auto parts must be well-coordinated with each other to perform the required functions for a vehicle. For instance, the powertrain or drivetrain is composed of essential car components that support the structure of an entire vehicle. One of these components is the axle assembly. Without it, the performance of other powertrain parts is likely to be affected.
The axle assembly is responsible for transferring the rotational force from the transmission to a vehicle’s wheels. The assembly, which includes a CV-joint or constant velocity and axle shaft, must be strong enough because it supports the weight of a vehicle and its contents. It also assures that the wheels’ position is perfectly aligned with the vehicle’s body. On the other hand, the CV-joint transmits power at a continuous rotational speed. Although it involves power transmission, the CV performs the process without any recognizable increase in the produced friction. Just like other vehicle components, the joint is delicate and needs the protection of the device called the CV boot. The CV boot shields the joint against external elements like dust or dirt.
Normally, the axle assembly is used on high-performance rear-wheel drive, front-drive, and even on four-wheel drive vehicles. These automobiles are often exposed to damaging road conditions. At times, a vehicle has to traverse rough terrains, which test the performance and durability of the axle assembly. Consequently, the powertrain components may become defective. A sign of a defective axle assembly is a grinding sound while driving. This problem is usually solved through flushing, which gets rid of the contaminants accumulated in the assembly. Applying lubricants on a regular basis also does the trick. However, these do not completely restore the ideal function of the components. Therefore, an entire axle assembly replacement is a better option.

The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers

The Vatican's 10 Commandments for Drivers - Italy may be the home of the Ferrari and Lamborghini – the fiercest beasts on the road, but that didnt keep the Vatican from releasing a set of "Ten Commandments" for drivers to keep “sins” at bay.
The 10 Commandments for drivers tells motorists not to kill, not to drink and drive, and to help fellow travelers in case of accidents. Aimed at the faithful not just in Italy but around the world, the document also encouraged bishops to set up chapels along highways and have "periodic celebrations of liturgies" at truck stops, as well as encouraged motorists to pray while on the road.
Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the office, told a news conference that the Vatican felt it necessary to address the pastoral needs of motorists because driving had become such a big part of contemporary life.
"We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads," Martino said. "That's a sad reality, and at the same time, a great challenge for society and the church."
Here are the "Drivers' Ten Commandments":
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
But the Vatican apparently isn’t the first from the religious profession to deal with this issue. Inside Line reports that long before the Vatican issued its 10 Commandments for motorists this week, a small Catholic group in Mississippi has already been busy concerning itself with the same issues: the Sacred Heart Auto League has been promoting "prayerful and careful driving" since 1955 —offering visor clips, key chains and other car-related prayer aids on its Web site.

Car Stereo Buying Guide

Car Stereo Buying Guide - Car Stereo Buying Guide I’ve seen a lot of people asking what kind of car stereo would best fit their ride and I have seen a lot of people get frustrated of their car stereo just because of following someone’s advice. Don’t let this happen to you. You can avoid the common mistakes done by a lot of people in choosing their car stereo by following the guidelines that I’m about to give you. You might say, “Okay Richard, is this a sales pitch?” not even close. The truth is that a lot of people are seeking advice from others not realizing that those people are not the best ones to ask about the matter and in turn could have a negative effect after having bought the car stereo. Commonly, they get frustrated. Let’s face it, some people love to give advice even if they don’t know anything or just a little about the matter.
So what should you do now?
Follow these guidelines and tips before purchasing a car stereo.
1. Decide on what type of car stereo you want, will it be a plain tuner, cassette player, CD player, DVD player, HDD stereo, car stereo with video, 1 ½ din player (GM/Chrysler Fit) or any combination of the above.
2. When you see someone with a nice car stereo or know someone who has a nice car stereo, try to ask them the brand and model of that car stereo unit, ask them about the good and bad things it has and ask them if they would recommend that kind of stereo but don’t buy just yet or you might end up like the one I was talking about above “Frustrated”.
3. After having a list of car stereo, go to a store and ask the salesperson for a demo. Pay close attention to what the salesperson is talking about so you could compare what he is saying with what the person you asked about the car stereo will tell you.
4. Listen carefully to the sound that the car stereo is producing. Take note if the sound has a loud bass, clear or if the feature can produce both sound. Some people like the sound of loud bass while some go for clarity. It’s just a matter of preference but personally, I’ll go with the one that could produce both a loud bass and a clear sound.
5. Inspect the feature of the car stereo if the quality of sound can be easily manipulated like the bass, mid and high frequency and check if the car stereo control is user friendly and driver friendly.
6. Inspect the specification if it will be compatible with the current speakers you have (if you have speakers already) or not. This is a better way than having to buy a new set of speakers if your speaker’s circuitry is damaged by the power of the stereo because some stereo are so powerful that it could easily damage speakers.
7. The technology of car stereos are evolving the way computers evolve so consider new features like iPOD, Bluetooth, GPS and such if you plan to attatch this devices into your car stereo. Not every car stereo out in the market is iPOD, Bluetooth and GPS ready. So choose wisely.
8. Take into consideration future enhancement and sound expansion. I mean like having expanded bass and separates for better sounds. Inspect whether the car stereo unit has expansion inputs and outputs. You might decide in the future to join a car sound set-up competition. ?…
9. Warranty. Check the warranty, the longer warranty period, the better.
10. Select a price range and eliminate those that does not fit in your list of car stereos. (consider all the guidelines above before eliminating some stereo from your list).
Having followed these guidelines, you should have a list car stereo that will match your expectation. Again, it’s just a matter of choice depending on your preferences and other factors to consider like the price.
Now for the sales pitch ? (kidding).
There are a lot of good car stereo brand out there too many to mention here some of the many brands are Alpine, Kenwood, Bose, Sony, Eclipse and Pioneer car stereo which has 2 kinds, the Pioneer Car Stereo and the Pioneer Premier Car Stereo.
Whichever you choose depends on you.
The bottomline is choose wisely so you can avoid getting frustrated and not end up spending more money.
