Mainly for people behind the wheel it’s a real bad situation to drive during the rainy season. The heavy downpours are dangerous as there are risks of skidding. <span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><p></p><p>The rainy seasons call for proper maintenance of your car ensuring a smoother and natural drive on sludgy tracks. It’s our concern to ensure a smooth hazard free drive in down pouring seasons. Maintaining the car would require some basic tips to follow.</p><p>1. Check out on your car lights. See if they are providing optimal light on dark roads. A slight reluctance can cause havoc.</p><p>2. See if your tires have proper grip. Worn out tires should be replaced with new ones immediately on being noticed.</p><p>3. No further delay should be made with regards to wiper check outs. Clean up the blades as and when you notice any accumulation of dirt which may hamper the function of the blades in rainy months. A clean windscreen during heavy showers can help you take the right turn without much difficulty.</p><p>4. Find out if the electrical fuses in your car are working properly. Check the gear buttons, brakes and more.</p><p>5.See if the air conditioner in your car is working fine as often the air conditioners help to put out the vapors accumulated on the windscreen in a car during a humid season.</p><p>6. Cars covers and floor mats are absolutely must to save your car from any mud trouble during the rainy season. It would be an absolute mess to drive an unclean muddy car. Clean the car properly and stay safe.</p><p>7.

It is the fastest convertible ever with a 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration achieved in just 3.8 seconds. <span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><p></p><p>Plus it has the old, big, and mean LS7 V8 under its hood. It can also
confidently say that it has a better power-weight ration than the
Porsche 911 Turbo S. Before the revelation, the closes thing you can ever get to a Z06 convertible is to have the Grand Sport Convertible which on final analysis lacks the powerful 427 cu. in. of the Z06.</p><p>Now Chevrolet makes use of the C6 body, installs that powerful heart in the engine bay and a whole lot of go-fast components to make the 427. The setup consists of a 505 hp lS7 linked to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The Magnetic Selective Ride Control plus a battery mounted on the rear comes standard with the Z06 rear axle and drive line.</p><p>The 427 will roll on 19 and 20 inch cup rims hugged by Michelin PS2s. Z06 lovers will be able to spot the fenders and hood made from carbon fiber. Top speed is expected to hit more than 190 miles per hour.</p><p>Corvette will also have its 60th Anniversary Package. You can purchase your Corvette this year and you will able to ask for a special finishing that comes with an exterior of Arctic White and Blue Diamond leather and suede inside. The special edition also gives you ZR1-like spoiler, a ton of logos, badge, and racing stripes.</p><p>You can also get this option if you are getting a 427 Convertible.

A Ferrari. Others come, and others go, and may produce some brilliant cars, but Ferrari just keeps on designing and building the most sensational cars for the road and race track.<span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p>Challenge Stradale (Challenge the road) is just that as near as you can get to a racer that you can buy as a production car. It has some pedigree, being based on the 360 Modena, the first of Ferari's new generation cars with an aluminum frame and superb V-8 engine.</p><p>Some informed observers have called it 'the most exciting car in the world', and as you'll see, it must be a top contender. Maybe some fantasy cars with 500-600 bhp compete, but they'll be hard pressed.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">A true Italian beauty</h3><p>This is also a stunningly beautiful car, with the characteristic twin air intakes at the sides of the front, and flowing lines. It is beautifully balanced from the side, with a fairly short nose and upswept wings. At the back, the rear end curves upwards in the middle to provide a different look which is highly practical it helps increase that down force.</p><p>Down force? At high speeds, the air flows over the body of a car separating ear the tail, and tending to lift it up the last thing you want. Down force can be created to reduce this effect and increase stability.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Compact and very powerful engine</h3><p>As with all Ferrari's the story starts with the engines. Based on the 3.6 litre V-8 of the 360 Modena, which has 5 valves per cylinder, this unit has been tuned for power, but is not turbocharged, using methods from racing. It has the titanium connecting rods and four overhead camshafts of the less powerful engine.</p><p>Now, though, the Ferrari Challenge Stradale engine develops 425 bhp at 8,500 rpm, and is red lined at 10,000! Just imagine the noise this engine makes, as its taken up through the gears pure music! That's a lot of tire-screeching power for a compact, lightweight supercar. OK, so the 118.5 bhp/litre may not be quite up to the Honda S-2000 engine, but with 425 bhp on tap, who cares?</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Gearbox like a Grand Prix car</h3><p>To keep this in tune with its racing background, the engine is coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox, just like on the Ferrari Grand Prix cars. There is no gear lever unlike on most sequential boxed but just a pair of buttons on the steering wheel. Separate buttons on the central console are used to get reverse. To suit different drivers, the gear shifts can be set for comfort or speed but either way, it'll be like driving a racing car.</p><p>On the other hand, you might want to dawdle slowly up the streets in your main town, waving to all the people you knew you certainly would if you were Italian!</p><p>Of course, the suspension is also close to the racing Ferraris. Springs and anti-roll bars are stiffer than normal. To cut weight, the springs are made from titanium. As a result, the car corners flatter than the already impressive 360 Modena, and skates through S-bends with hardly any roll. Just fantastic.</p><p>In testing, Ferrari has recorded a lateral acceleration of 1.3 g; in theory, of course, 1.0 g is the maximum, although racing cars get well beyond that. Must be something wrong with the theory; the practice is, well, incredible.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Aluminum structure for light weight</h3><p>For good road holding, you need a stiff body structure, and the frame of the 360 Modena is a great starting point. Produced mainly from extrusions tubular shapes of all sorts of cress-sections and precision die castings, the frame is both very light and extremely rigid. It also has excellent crash absorption. To reduce weight and increase stiffness, the floor is made from carbon fiber composites, a material used for many small components. Weight is also reduced by the ceramic/carbon fiber brake discs.</p><p>Overall, the Ferrari Challenge Stradale's weight has been reduced by 240 lb (110 kg) compared with the 360 Modena. Among the minor changes made to reduce weight are the drilled brake and accelerator pedals, and the fact that they threw out the carpets. After all, racing cars don't have carpets!</p><p>So, when you wriggle into that seat that hugs you like an over-zealous girl friend and look at the steering wheel, which is slightly flattened like a racer, you feel you're in a true racer. This impression is heightened by the mark on the red top part of the steering wheel which shows you when the wheel is central, and by the music of the engine as you blip the throttle.</p><p>Well, this beauty will get to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 12 seconds, and get to 120 mph in a touch more. Keep your foot down, and make a few more shifts, and the Challenge Stradale will whizz up to 186 mph if you can find the room. This is one super fast supercar, but you just need a lot of room to get to over 180 mph in anything. Of course, with a car of this class, you'll get more fun hustling round twisty and curving roads than you would blasting flat out to 180 mph.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207668894943516507.post-53803130785361684262021-03-09T06:10:00.004-08:002023-07-22T22:23:00.603-07:00Maserati GranTurismo, New Model Based On Quattroporte<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqv3A_pma9hABKmsXfZvPTNe5DCfaCKOVkaVoXQNBDxBcVzk58ow_sx9N5TjIUKLrPTe6L5-t4dRLfRKokkd4DhLaqIvGm7ATvDAF7Q8XJ9J0qvOhyaqIMRA3DFkt6uyDDoKOBaEb_GD9m/s640/Maserati+GranTurismo.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqv3A_pma9hABKmsXfZvPTNe5DCfaCKOVkaVoXQNBDxBcVzk58ow_sx9N5TjIUKLrPTe6L5-t4dRLfRKokkd4DhLaqIvGm7ATvDAF7Q8XJ9J0qvOhyaqIMRA3DFkt6uyDDoKOBaEb_GD9m/s16000/Maserati+GranTurismo.jpeg" /></a></div><br />Despite being based on the large Quattroporte, the Maserati GranTurismo is an elegant, sporty looking car, more along the lines of the GranSport. PininFarina, who was responsible for the styling, has certainly done a fine job.<span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p>The distinctive Maserati grille, with vertical bars, projects forward of the chin, and the wide air intake below, while the finely curved fenders are just right. The roof is not quite a fastback, the style reflecting the need for two people in the back and some luggage space, while the rear fenders give the car a sporty look.</p><p>A full four seater, the GranTurismo is 14 in (358 mm) longer than the GranSport, 11 in (282 mm) being in the wheelbase, which is why there is plenty of room in the back the GranSport is quite spacious as 2+2s go. In fact, this is quite a large car.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Latest Maserati V-8 egine</h3><p>The GranTurismo is powered by the latest version of Maserati's V-8, which is similar to the engine used in the Ferrari F430, but in this instance it has a capacity of 4.2 liters, and is a very short-stroke, high-revving unit. It is a conventional V-8 with four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing.</p><p>Whereas the GranSport gets dry sump lubrication, the GranTurismo gets a wet sump, which reduces noise levels and power losses, but firmly put the car in the grand touring category. With an output of 405 bhp at 7,100 rpm 10 bhp more than in the GranSport and maximum torque of 334 lb ft (460 Nm) at 4,750 rpm, the engine is no slouch.</p><p>Owing to the weight of the car, it needs just over 5 seconds to reach 60 mph. One area where more progress could have been made is in weight reduction this is a heavy car at4,140 lb (1,880 kg).</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">ZF automatic, manual control</h3><p>Also hinting at the grand touring image is the use of the ZF six-speed automatic, albeit with paddle control, and shift-up points of 7,200 rpm, higher than any competitors that use the box. There are four different operating modes: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Low Grip/Auto Ice and Manual.</p><p>There are no surprises in the body, which is a steel monocoque, but the trunk lid is a plastic molding.</p><p>Interestingly, although the automatic transmission is mounted directly on the back of the front-mounted engine, Maserati claims a weight distribution of 49 per cent front to 51 per cent rear, which indicates that that engine is mounted well behind the front wheels.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Double wishbone suspension</h3><p>As expected, the suspension is by double wishbones front and rear, forged from aluminum for light weight and strength. The suspensions are designed to counteract brake dive and squat under acceleration, and will no doubt give good handling.

This doesn’t just mean filling it up with gas when it’s low and driving it through the car wash.</p><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Keep your vehicle maintenance on a tight schedule</h3><p>While there’s no general schedule out there, it’s important to keep track of the mileage, make, model and year of your car and follow the guidelines outlined in your car’s service manual. When it comes to taking care of your car, it’s good to have this information ready.</p><p>Taking care of the little things will help avoid dealing with an expensive or unnecessary maintenance down the road. For example, ignoring the recommended oil change intervals can cause your engine to wear out quicker.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Find a mechanic you can trust</h3><p>Finding a mechanic who is not only great at what he does, but one who isn’t shady can be tough. Many dealerships will overcharge you for everything. Consider going to a private mechanic’s shop to have something cheap done first to see how well they do. This will give you a great idea on whether or not you can trust him to take on a larger job if needed. One of the best ways to find a mechanic you can trust is by getting some recommendations from family, friends and co-workers.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Regularly check your car’s fluid levels</h3><p>It’s not difficult to learn how to properly check and restore the fluid levels on your car. The majority of the shops and oil change retailers will check these too when you get an oil change, but it’s still good to check for yourself.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Keep the tires nice and full</h3><p>All cars will have a sticker on the inside of the driver’s door or in the glove box telling you how much air is needed in your tires. Using a tire gauge will let you know how much air is in your tires and putting air in your tires is cheap and easy. It’s good to check the tire pressure at least one a month, especially during the wintertime when you need all of the traction you can get when roads are slippery, icy or snow covered.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Get yourself an OBD-II reader</h3><p>You can use the OBD-II to read the codes produced by the electronic on-board diagnostic system. So if your check engine light pops on, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong with your car and how serious it is. </p><p>By spending a little bit now, you’re saving yourself a lot more money later on. Take care of your car using these helpful tips on how to save and frugally splurge on your car’s maintenance.</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207668894943516507.post-41987729530671748882021-03-01T10:35:00.006-08:002023-07-22T22:23:22.597-07:00 Earth-Friendly Ways to Keep Your Car Shiny and Clean<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkVhu2m8yzWkQI_M2pxLvmkKmPG46zvH0n93JEwFNVvgLuHC4igv1aU4U4D5rs_KXF3mx9W532lCAnAnqnvJzvfWnt7aqMnxzsGEGnMu8pLLVY9BgFJDtnXlIF1TzwDBB_mJXD-XGM-P6/s640/Keep+Your+Car+Shiny+and+Clean.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkVhu2m8yzWkQI_M2pxLvmkKmPG46zvH0n93JEwFNVvgLuHC4igv1aU4U4D5rs_KXF3mx9W532lCAnAnqnvJzvfWnt7aqMnxzsGEGnMu8pLLVY9BgFJDtnXlIF1TzwDBB_mJXD-XGM-P6/s16000/Keep+Your+Car+Shiny+and+Clean.jpg" /></a></div><br />It’s a dilemma many eco conscious car drivers can relate to: wanting to keep the interior and exterior of their vehicles looking as nice as possible, but without using a ton of water or un-Earth-friendly soaps and waxes.<span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p>Take heed, “green” car drivers - thanks to some easy-to-follow tips, it is easy to keep your car shiny and clean, without harming the environment.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Leave the Driveway for Parking</h3><p>As anybody who ever washed their parent’s car in the driveway knows quite well, it involves using a lot of water. This is exactly why eco conscious drivers should avoid cleaning their car at home. </p><p>According to Organic Gardening, washing a car in the driveway can use up a whopping 80 to 140 gallons of water. Instead, take the vehicle to a self-service car wash, where the excessive and used water is collected and sent over to a water-treatment facility. As a bonus, people only use about 15 gallons of water at a do-it-yourself-wash place.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Skip the H2O</h3><p>Yes, you read that correctly. Even though this might be difficult to envision, you really don’t need water to clean a car. There are several “water less” products to get your car looking clean, including once called Eco Touch.</p><p>Another option is to use a spray bottle of eco friendly window cleaner and some towels or rags to clean your vehicle section by section. This method can help to shine up even the grungiest of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and mopeds, and is also a great way to keep a vehicle spotless while on the road. Just throw a small spray bottle of Earth-friendly cleaning solution and a few microfiber cleaning cloths into the glove box, and use them for spot-cleaning the interior of the car.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Never Use Detergent</h3><p>While washing the car as a kid usually meant squirting some dish soap into a bucket, the Mother Nature Network suggests skipping that. Instead, car owners should look for phosphate-free cleaners that are water-based and biodegradable. Even though these are more eco-friendly, people should still use as little of them as possible in order to minimize what ends up going down into the sewer. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Research Car Washes</h3><p>Just like eco friendly drivers may use a service such as Captain Compare to research how “green” their car insurance and roadside assistance providers are, researching car washes is vital for a truly green car. Like the self-wash establishments, automatic car washes must collect the used water so it can be cleaned up and used again. </p><p>Try to find a “no-touch” wash that uses high pressure, rather than rotating brushes to clean the vehicle. These tend to be gentler on the car and reduce the chances of it getting scratched or damaged.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207668894943516507.post-50148221210798653732021-02-24T23:23:00.009-08:002023-07-22T22:23:34.754-07:00Honda Accord, Luxurious Appearance Sedan <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRU_eb9QSIZfGuZR55rUAdrfKpEaBL1ajLZw_OmeTwUStCso6Bj1oJtu_jhpGObtTMZ93NSVaxFQASreyPQZgNbuFe3Lnen5zLFtugaYo1L67VHPLlAhNXs8yWIwLhz-iqX4AnF5QsX5x/s640/Honda+Accord.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRU_eb9QSIZfGuZR55rUAdrfKpEaBL1ajLZw_OmeTwUStCso6Bj1oJtu_jhpGObtTMZ93NSVaxFQASreyPQZgNbuFe3Lnen5zLFtugaYo1L67VHPLlAhNXs8yWIwLhz-iqX4AnF5QsX5x/s320/Honda+Accord.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>There are many choices of sedan cars available in the automotive market such as this Honda Accord.
