Autobahn Performance

Smile (and make it stick!) it's FRIDAY! :) Have a safe and fun weekend!

For #TBT we stuff everyone into the Wayback Machine and travel back to 1959 when the bizarre craze of seeing how many people you could cram into a car (or phone booth or outhouse or photo booth) started sweeping across college campuses. The current car cramming record is 28 people, shoe-horned into both a VW Beetle and Mini Hatch. (Participants must be at least five feet tall and stay in the car for at least five seconds, in case you were thinking about trying this at home!)

Hauling stuff? Make sure you use at least two tie downs (ropes, straps) that are pulled tight across your cargo (with tensioners if possible) and properly secured to your vehicle (hooks, bolts)...and NOT like this!

Alcohol-related car crashes on this day occur every 46 minutes. Have a safe and Happy St. Patrick's Day and thank you for not drinking and driving!

Today's funny bumper sticker (on the back of a mini-van): "I used to be cool." :) Have a safe Monday!

What's that smell? This chart (from our friends at the Car Care Council) describes strange car smells and what causes them. If you smell a weird smell coming from your car, call us and schedule an appointment to have it checked.

Car safety tip: The number of fatal crashes usually jumps the week of Daylight Saving Time, according to the NHTSA. That's because we tend to feel (and drive) a little drowsy and because we are usually driving for awhile in morning darkness. Thank you for slowing down and driving more alert this week!
