Winter tires and snow driving

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Car TiresIn the winter time, driving of a car requires certain skills, experience and of course good condition of the car. All were convinced in the power of nature blocking much of Europe and North America with low temperatures and snow. Driving in such conditions can be quite severe, even snow sometimes a big problem for drivers of cars. The use of chains is a good Medora to increase the patency of the vehicle, such chains are used in higher thickness of the snow. Colleagues from the U.S., have devised an even better way to increase the patency of machinery and automobiles. This is done using the chains with spikes. For this purpose, in the circuits used Maxigrip Tire Studs, which are driven into the snow and increase traction on very thick and deep snow. Of course all this is impossible if you drive on the road cleared as Maxigrip Ice Studs can damage you coo, and also the roadway. Of course, the use of such revolutionary technology is not yet accepted and even forbidden by the authorities in many states because of damage that occur on canvas and tarmac, but rather the improvement of technology will allow easy driving a car even in the severe conditions.

When car changes your life

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Renault Clio SWhen I suddenly met my old pal John in Brooklyn last Saturday I could not believe my eyes! Something happened to the “ugly Johny” as mates called him back in high school. Johny was driving a new BMW 7-series with all the features included and though I do not understand much about cars and related stuff like tuning I could definitely say that this vehicle especially taking in account that this was a long version (750i) cost more than $100k! To be frank, I was amazed and moreover I was shocked! “Ugly Johny” has been working as a simple employee in a tourist agency and he simple could not afford buying such a vehicle! When he approached me he could catch this question as it was clearly written on my face. But the answer I got was even more shocking than the first moment I saw him in this posh car: this was a leased car – it means that he actually did not possess it completely – he payed a fixed sum each month, the sum that is affordable even to those who live on state benefit – about $250 per month. New car leasing in New York has finally become accessible to anyone with any income! Even “ugly Johny” became a successful man and in several months he was promoted to the senior manager of the department! And he has already got invitations to join NYC moving firm as a co-founder!
