A Sunroof and a Moonroof Option

| 0 comments |

After examining some of the latest i3 photographs, Ive noticed something unusual. It seems there may be a sunroof and a moonroof option. One, as seen in the above video below of the i3 driving on the Autobahn, shows a normal looking large sunroof that opens and slides towards the rear of the car as most sunroofs do.
Look at the roof above the front seats. Its clear there are two different openings divided by a section of roof and the glass is covered with the same material on the side window of the rear door the woman has open

However the second, as seen in these two pictures seems to be two separate glass sections divided by a stationary section of the roof. Its hard to tell, but it seems these may not open, and just be there to let light in, like a classic moonroof. The interesting thing is there are two distinct separated panels, not one large piece of glass. I suppose this would allow one passenger to close their moonroof section if the sunlight was bothering them while the other front seat occupant could leave the one on their side open. Unless of course it is one large glass panel that opens and slides back above the section of roof that divides the opening into two spaces. Perhaps they needed that section to increase the strength of the CFRP passenger module. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think is going on there.
Its harder to see here but you can see the divider sticking down between the two openings.
For those that dont know the difference in sunroofs and moonroofs, basically a sunroof opens and pops up and slides back to allow air in the car while a moonroof is sealed and just allows light in. Click here for a thorough explanation.

GMC 1916 Model AA military truck and ambulance

| 0 comments |

found on http://truquetructruk.tumblr.com

for comparison, the Ford Model T of WW1  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/12/1917-ford-ww1-military-ambulance-none.html

When the U.S. entered World War I new impetus was given to Model 16 for military use, and it became the Class AA military truck for the duration of World War I. Of the 13,316 Model 16 truck produced, the major portion build in 1917 and 1918 were for military use.

The U.S. Army developed a classification of military vehicles and chose preferred supplies for class. GMC was selected to be the primary source for Class AA, ¾-ton trucks. The military version was designated as GMC mode 16AA. The most common application was for field ambulance service.

 The companys booklet titled "GMC Ambulances" reads: "It is to the credit of the United States government that in every phase of preparation for the great war the utmost consideration was given to providing comfort for the soldiers; not only during the preparation term at the various encampments around the country, but in providing for their welfare on the field of battle.

 "It is a source of much satisfaction to the General Motors Tuck Company that the Medical department of the United States Army found the GMC 3/4 – ton chassis to meet the requirements of this very exacting service."

The Model 16 had a 132-inch wheelbase with 35-by-5 pneumatic ties. The 30 horsepower engine gave the truck a max speed of 25 miles per hour. Although most of the ambulances were assembled by GMC, demand soon exceeded the production capacity of GMs Pontiac division facility, so kits were devised that included all of the parts required to build an ambulance. Some of those kits were assembled by subcontractors in the U.S. such as Huppmobile and others were built by American troops in France.

An American boy’s coming of age story.

It’s the 50’s and Sonny Mitchell maneuvers from bicycles to Hot rods with the friends he has collected from the blue collar side of a small town in Oregon.

A bond of camaraderie is formed between members of his club as they take on experiences of street racing, beer guzzling and humorous encounters with sex.

They manage to mix the love of independence and rebellion with school and part time jobs as they learn life lessons along the way.

An encounter with Marylyn Swanson, a beauty, way out of Sonny’s social boundary changes his life.

Sonny tries to save his first love from a looming disaster in a white knuckle car chase. .

A Royal Story of the Tire King and his Royal Travels

| 0 comments |
Once upon a time there lived a King in the land of Tire. He lived by himself at the Palace of Pneus (Pneus is French for tire). The King of Tire or better known as, "The Tire King" loved tires and especially loved helping the people of his Kingdom and other Kingdoms with their car and tire problems. Too many times the Tire King would see hard working people being taken advantage of by other so called Tire Nobles from other kingdoms. .

At first it was just the King and his Tire .

This was pleasing to the King, but the tire was heavy so he mixed it up a little and tried to balance that tire out.
The King decided that he needed to find someone worthy enough to help him buy and sell but especially hold up with him the best tires in the world for his Kingdom. So the King trekked out about his Kingdom looking for someone strong enough and worthy enough to hold the world class tire from the Kingdom of Tire.


Many people tried out for this great honor. But Try as they might, no one could hold up to the world class standards that the Tire King held for his customers in the Kingdom of Tire.

So the King tried to disguise himself and see if he could find someone amongst the people of the Kingdom that would take on this royal task. The Tire King got himself a job at at Big Jims Pizza Den from the Kingdom of Tire. Everyone seemed more interested in eating Big Jims Pizza than having the royal responsibility of holding up the standards of world class tires within the Kingdom of Tire.



The King thought to himself, "well if I cant find anyone by land, maybe Ill find someone by sea?



That idea may have sounded good on dry land behind the safe walls of the Palace of Pneus. However once out in the ocean, the Tire King rethought this idea.

"If I cant find someone within this planet to keep and hold up my high world class tire standards, then maybe I need to go outside this planet to find someone", the King exclaimed.
So off on a royal trip to the Moon the King rocketed.



But when the King got to the Moon, all he found there besides his fellow astronaut was once again just himself holding the royal tire and high standards.




We he returned to Earth the King was still frustrated. He was frustrated that all his royal travels had not produced anyone that would help him hold his royal tire.

So the King decided to join the American CIA and help them fight terrorism around the world. The King was very successful at his new job. However, even when taking down the biggest of bad guys, he still found himself drawn to holding up the Royal Tire. It appeared that rubber really ran through his veins. So back to his Kingdom of Tire the King went.


It was back in the Kingdom of Tire when the handsome King found that the only person wanting to help him hold up the royal tire along with his world class standards and the best tires for the Kingdom of Tire was a lovely Princess named Princess Deb.

The King married the Princess and together holding the Royal Tire, they lived happily ever after at the Palace of Pneus in the Kingdom of Tire. Better known as Carolina Tire & Auto.

Been Conned by Auto Service Facilities Again and again

| 0 comments |
Remember your service receipt the last time you had your automobile examined for a basic maintenance run-through?

Brake pads that put your budget at risk. Seat upholstery sets that make you pay for more than an arm and a leg, just because they carry logos of Hello Kitty or Mickey Mouse or some other cutesy pop-icon. Interior mats with price tags with enough zeros to make hyperventilate. Its not all that weird to expect that just about every single industrial fiber its made of must have super absorbent qualities like your best-all-around sponge. Or worse,obscure automobile products that you totally have no idea on-how it works, why you need, do you really need it?-and you get the surprise of your life when you finally get your hands on your repair bills and see just how much the total is because of these replacement parts.

Certainly, these concerns may sound standard, or for quite a few, even unintentionally amusing-certainly for DIYers or car drivers whove had the same problems, but but didnt allow this to stand and made the effort to find a way to get better car maintanance service someplace else.

Ever wondered why you should pay a lot for a nut or bolt or bushing set that you could get cheaper elsewhere? Or perhaps you didnt know? The jokes on you, and youre pretty much allowing yourself to get played.

Maybe its time you stopped getting yourself hosed. While it used to be true that you just had no urgent need to learn a few things about auto service, searching for a dependable automobile repair service center to look after your car service needs is now a must. It doesnt have to be a great deal. You dont have to have a legion of choices. A short list will do. Even just one would do.

Dont settle for service shops that are out to hose you. Keep your eyes peeled reputable, trustworthy ones. Seek information. Find them. Theres nothing more discouraging than having to go back to the auto repair center that you think conned you, just because you dont want the hassle of finding a better one..

Buying Parts and Having a Shop Install Them

| 0 comments |
Auto repair shops get their revenues from several things—mainly from the labor involved in doing a repair or replacement and from the part that they install. If you will notice, parts offered by these shops are more expensive than those that you will find in your local store or in online auto parts shops. Given, the parts that they offer are already available, so you don’t have to wait for a few days unlike when you shop online. But, the mark-up on these parts can sometimes be considerably huge.

One solution that many drivers try is to buy their own parts from the local shop and to bring the parts to the auto repair center for installation. Many shops and mechanics are okay with this, with some mechanics even favoring this practice in case the needed part is not available or is not easy to find. But, there are others who are not into this practice. Some of them will perform the job, but they will not provide you with a warranty for the part, sometimes even for labor. So, you will be at the mercy of your car. There are also some shops that will totally refuse to install a part that is not bought from them.

I haven’t heard of any rule or regulation that prosecutes auto repair shops that refuse to install a part because it isn’t bought from them. So, if you’re someone who wants to save on the high cost of replacement parts offered by shops by buying a cheaper one from your dealer, you need to be clear with the shop that will perform the service. If the shop will not agree, then you can always take your car to another shop that will, or do the installation yourself if you’re familiar with the process.

GT Sprint Double victory for MTM Audi R8 LMS and championship lead extended

| 0 comments |

By Johan Laubscher

The Superstars GT Sprint Series headed to Imola for its penultimate round of the season. MTM Motorsport continued their good form with the Audi R8 LMS.

Thomas Schöffler, MTM’s lead driver, arrived at Imola as the GT Sprint championship points leader. The team’s aim was to defend his championship lead this weekend, ahead of the finale in October. He was joined by Johan Kristoffersson this weekend, sharing the controls of the #45 Audi R8 LMS. This was the second time that Kristoffersson had joined Schöffler and MTM this season, as he had also raced with the team during round two at Brno in May.  

They qualified on pole for race one, followed by second on the grid for race two.


The two races were held on Sunday, with the first race seeing the Audi MTM pairing finishing in first place. They backed up that result with another victory in race two.

It has been another very good weekend for MTM and Thomas Schöffler remains the championship points leader as the team heads to the finale.

The final round of the Superstars GT Sprint Series will take place at Vallelunga from 12-13 October.

Step Up and Last Three Rounds I Dare Ya!

So then, will no one step up and attempt to compete with the Prius???

Hondas Prius-Fighter Is Stuck in First - BusinessWeek
So far this year, the Prius is outselling the Insight by nearly 6 to 1. Other carmakers are watching closely. General Motors, for one, is reviewing its entire hybrid strategy. In late November, GM shelved plans for a 53-mpg Prius fighter for its bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand.
With the Insight failing to compete with the Prius, will no others be able to challenge the Toyota dominance in the hybrid world?  Toyota sells 3 out of every 4 hybrids in the US.  1 of ever 2 hybrids sold is a Prius.  1 out of every 100 (or a bit more, really) cars sold in the US is a Prius.

Thats a lot to overcome, but it should still be possible.  If the rest of the auto market is competitive across the various types of cars, why cant hybrids be more competitive?

The cost is a big challenge, of course.  A decade of sales gives Toyota a big advantage in technology advancements and engineering cheaper solutions.

Also GM and others may decide it just isnt worth it.  Nissan has decided to work on building all electric, while Audi has focused on diesel.  GM is hoping to beat Toyota to the plug-in market with the Volt.  Ford and Honda seem to be the only real competitors in the hybrid  world, but theyre so far back that Goliath seems to be winning without even noticing hes in a fight.

FIA Press Release

The FIA President, Jean Todt, opened the meeting by thanking Matko Bolanca, President of the Croatian Car & Karting Federation (CCKF), and Zrinko Gregurek, Secretary General of the CCKF and WMSC member, for their hospitality and for hosting the FIA family.

The following decisions were taken by the World Motor Sport Council:


FIA WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

In order to increase competitiveness, from 2014 the title of FIA World Endurance Manufacturers’ Champion will be awarded to the manufacturer scoring the greatest number of points with two cars (three cars if under Article 16.A) in the general classification.

The 2014 Sporting Regulations will be adjusted in order to take into consideration the new LMP1 Technical Regulations which will be implemented next season, taking into consideration the new distinction between the light category cars for privateers only (LMP-L) and the Hybrid category cars for both manufacturers and privateers (LMP-H), and the allocation of energy.


GT

The principles of the convergence between the current GTE cars (Le Mans) and the FIA GT3 have been commonly defined by the FIA and ACO and agreed by all the GT manufacturers. The aim is to present the new GT Technical Regulations, based on new categories (GT+ and GT), at the WMSC in June 2014 for implementation in 2016.

Car and Truck Tune up Questions Answered Now!

| 0 comments |
The things you need to know like what is a tune up, car tune up cost, tune up shops, and car maintenance will be explained here for women and first time car and truck owners. Car tuning is the adjustment, modification, or design of a car engine to create optimal engine performance to increase an engines ability to yield power output, fuel economy, or durability. Car tune ups can be what you want it to be, either minor or major. A low mileage car or truck would be the perfect example for a vehicle needing a minor tune up. Let me explain to you what a minor and major tune up is and what you should expect for each of these two car services at your local tune up shop.
Minor Car Tune Up Information For Women and First Time Car and Truck Owners:

A minor tune up for a car or truck with low mileage would only consist of replacing the spark plugs on your car. What I mean by low mileage would be around 30,000 miles but check your owner’s manual to be more specific on the mileage. Your car tune up cost should be around $50 for a typical four cylinder car or truck engine. A minor tune up at most tune up shops will also include a free car maintenance inspection which means looking for anything that could cause you to have car engine problems. For example the auto mechanic will inspect your car belts, hoses, antifreeze, engine block for leaks, spark plug wires, distributor cap and ignition rotor, and all of your car engine fluids and top them off if needed. You may be charged for the lubricants and car fluids needed to fill them up. I hope this minor car tune up information will give you a better understanding of what to expect when you take your car or truck in.


Major Car Tune Up Information For Women and First Time Car and Truck Owners:

A major tune up for your car or truck would consist of replacing very important maintenance items such as your car or truck’s spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, gas filter, air filter, needed belts and hoses, adjusting your car or truck’s ignition timing and carburetor where applicable. Now if you really want to get the maximum engine performance out of your car or truck with high mileage you may also consider replacing your oxygen sensors, timing belt, and having your cooling system flushed and filled with new antifreeze. It would be well worth it but you would expect to pay around $1,200.00 for this type of high mileage major car tune up. You would not have to worry about another major car or truck tune up for an additional 90,000 miles. I hope this article was able to answer your questions on what is a car tune up is, car tune up cost, car tune up shops, and you received your answer.

Auto Repair and Care Experts Present How to Verify an Auto Repair Estimate

| 0 comments |
You may know nothing about auto repairs but this does not mean that you can be easily scammed by mechanics and technicians who may only after your money. Even if you may not know what an alternator is, you can still be able to tell if you are given a fair estimate or not. Here are some tips on how to achieve this:


o Find out what repairs should be made to your car. Let the mechanic do his own diagnosis of the problem.

o If some parts have to be replaced, then learn the cost of replacing these parts. If the parts needed are original equipment / parts made by the car manufacturer, then you have to make sure that you do not pay more than the manufacturers recommended price. Take note that you can save money by using used parts instead since they have a wider price range.

o Make sure that you understand what the mechanic plans to do to your car. If you only want a routine maintenance job, that is what you should get. You do not need to deal with tire rotation or oil changes when they are not necessary.

o When you get the bill make sure to check it out. Miscellaneous items may be used to cover the rags that have been used on your engine or fees for hazardous waste but they can also be used to add a few extra dollars to the total charge.

o If there is something in the bill that you do not understand - whether it is in small print or illegible hand writing or techno terms and services that you do not know existed - then ask questions and clear things up.

The best way to avoid being scammed or cheated out of your well earned money is to make sure that you are dealing with an honest and good mechanic. Ask your family or friends if they have any recommendations. And if you have an eligible candidate, do a background check by checking with the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints filed against this mechanic or auto repair shop.

Vehicle Repairs And Unpredictable Unforeseen Car Problems

| 0 comments |



How many times driving down the road-
have you seen motorists experiencing unpredicted vehicle repairs and unforeseen car problems parked along a dark stretch of a highway? If you are like me then you may have lost count around fifty or so. It especially saddens me to see single moms with their children in the cars and trucks in 100 degree temperatures. Not only is it frustrating and scary for the parent but it is also very unsafe to be out there! I always try to make it a point to stop and ask if there is anything I could do for them while they wait for their roadside assistance help to arrive. A few times I was able to diagnose a dislodged coil wire preventing the car from starting or a loose and worn radiator hose clamp that needed to be replaced. In these cases I was able to get them back on the road again without charging them a dime. Let me explain why I don’t see any point in charging these people money for getting them back on the road.

Before I started my career out as a ASE Certified Automotive Repair technician, my mother enjoyed traveling out on the open roads. She knew I was always interested in becoming an auto repair technician as I was finishing up my 2 year Auto Mechanic Course. I was always prepared when ever we went anywhere on a trip. I would bring along my starter supply tool box and away we would go most of the time with my younger brother and sister. We were leaving New Orleans and heading north when our little Dodge Colt experienced what I would call a unpredicted vehicle repair problem or you can call it a unforeseen car problem. The Old 73 Dodge Colt died in the swamps of Louisiana and would not start as it was getting dark and the mosquitoes were just starting their attack on us all. My training in Auto repair lead me to the conclusion we had burnt up a set of points and condenser and the ignition coil was on its last leg.

I began my journey into the night by walking to some lights I saw off in a distance. The lights looked closer than it actually was! I would guess now that it was approximately 20 to 30 miles away to the closest small town down there. I thought it would be a good idea to have my little brother stay with my mom and my little sister for protection while I was out looking for a ride or for some help. By sun up, I made it to the small town just to find they had no Auto Parts Store around any where. While I took a small break under a shady tree fighting off mosquitoes, a very nice guy offered me a ride to the next town 20 miles away. He then asked me how many of my family members were waiting back in the broken down Dodge Colt which I replied, “my mother, little brother, and my little sister”.

Of course we were poor and had no roadside assistance help available and just enough gas money to get us back to Kansas. I never asked him for a dime when he offered to buy us all breakfast sandwiches juice and milk at the local McDonalds. He then threw a hundred dollar bill up on the Auto Parts Counter and insisted on paying for the Auto Parts too! As you can see, I try to help mostly the elderly and single mothers I see broke down on the roads today. Unpredicted Vehicle Repairs and Unforeseen Car Problems do happen to everyone out there.
