Intriguing Profile Picture

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:31:54 +0000

I just browsed my Facebook account and my attention was suddenly caught by an intriguing profile picture. At first, the thumbnail is misleading and in fact, scandalous. So when I clicked on it and saw it up close, I just had to laugh at myself because it’s actually an interesting picture of car spoilers. I was reminded that this particular friend is a big fan of cars and his passion is dressing up his car collections. In fact, his profile consists of tons of car accessory pictures, the names of which are unknown to me. So lesson learned, research and read more about various stuffs so as not getting “scandalized” by peculiar things.

I forgot from which insurance blog that I obtained this image. Obviously, it’s an advertisement that is done with humor and I believe, a little bit satire in some points. I don’t know if women should be offended by this advertisement but I think (and I’m sure men will agree) there are some issues raised that’s totally true. Generally speaking and I hate to admit it, men are indeed better drivers. However, women are the cooler type, not hot headed and do not blew their top right away when engaged with even minor fiascos on the road.

A Papa’s Boy, Too.

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:05:00 +0000

As early as now, I just know that my son will grow up a “Papa’s Boy”. Although, he’s more dependent on me and constantly longing for me 24/7, he and his Daddy has this special bonding that’s truly mesmerizing. Well, for one, they’re both boys so their interests and inclinations jive together. That’s why whenever the Daddy’s off from work, I let them play, bond and enjoy activities together.

One favorite task they do is when they clean up the car. Since my son’s in the stage when he loves imitating what grownups do, you would see him helping his Daddy cleaning the car floor mats, the dashboard or any other accessories. He would also get the windshield cleaning wiper and make strokes on parts that he can just reach. Very lovely sight, indeed. I just let him take charge since I know that he has a fascination with cars and I know that he’ll grow up that way. I wish to see more moments like these. A few years from now, I bet he would be the one lecturing to his Dad about the latest and trendiest car accessories by then.

What is Automotive Insurance?

admin — Sun, 23 May 2010 03:10:49 +0000

Automotive insurance is insurance purchased for cars. In many jurisdictions, it is compulsory for you if you own a car.

Car insurance provides insurance against losses and liabilities that could be incurred as a result of traffic accidents. In most states in the United States of America, it is compulsory for the car owner to have car insurance that covers liability for injuries and damage of property. Non-purchasing of car insurance attracts penalties, which varies from state to state.

The offender may not only have to pay a substantial fine, but may also have to do jail time, not to mention having his/her license and/or registration suspended or revoked. Generally, the minimum requirement is third party insurance that protects third parties against loss, damage or injury. However, it is preferable to have comprehensive coverage to protect yourself from financial loss.

In the United States of America, there are different coverage types to protect the consumer, depending on the insurance purchased. In some states, motorists are required to carry liability insurance coverage. This ensures that the driver can cover the cost of damages in the event of an accident. Liability insurance can cover claims not only against the policyholder, but also against any other operator of the vehicle insured, provided the address of such operator is not the same as that of the policy holder, and that he or she is not specifically excluded on the policy.

However, sometimes, if the policy holder operates any car other than his or her own, the liability insurance does not protect him or her. This is because in such cases the policy holder is covered under the policy of the party that owns the car. There are non-owners policies that cover an insured on any car he or she drives. However, this type of policy is available only to people who do not own a car.

In Contemplation.

We have a neighbor who’s into an automotive buy and sell business. Recently, he got a chance to talk to the husband and he was sort of wooing our Green Machine, the husband’s ever reliable 10 year old Nissan Sentra car. It’s been maintained very well over the years and still looks good as new. The car’s performing and serving us well but the husband is thinking if it’s time already to do an upgrade. After all, it’s been 10 years. So now, he’s thinking if he can sell the car or trade it in with another available model that our neighbor currently has. No final decision here yet since we’re concentrating with the Little Mansion at the moment. But we will see. Who knows by the end of the year, we’re parking a spanking new car at Little Mansion’s carport.

Speaking of cars and vehicles, I’m quite drawn with one particular auto these days every time we pass by the showroom of Chevrolet along EDSA. It’s the chevy silverado 1500, a line which falls under the Full Size Pickup Trucks. I normally do not fancy huge pick up trucks but the exterior styling and features are just gorgeous. It’s charmingly huge that it can claim the “King of the Road” title. One of the line, which I think is the 1550, comes in three trims in regular, crew and extended cab body models. I further researched about this truck on the web and came to know that the Chevrolet 1500 Silverado is the driver’s choice in terms of engine specifications among full size pickup trucks. With the Ford 150 as its close competitor, the engines have been efficiently modified and refined for that everyday cruising and towing and with its hybrid model, made with a better gas mileage. Many consumers favor this over the F150 and in fact, it ranked fifth in the trucks with the best gas mileage. The hybrid engine enables the electric motor to keep the truck running when idle so the gas engine can be shut off, thus, saving enormous amount of gas. Now it’s possible to own a truck that has a good towing capacity, power, able to carry large loads and best of all, a remarkable gas mileage.

New Look Soon

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:58:48 +0000

Aside from the housing project we have taken on, the husband is looking for a chance to do some “upgrading” on our ever-reliable Green Machine. Our Nissan Sentra is already a decade old but it still looks as good as new and I have to credit hubby’s really good handling and maintenance skills for that. It occasionally goes through some breaking down spells but our ever reliable mechanic always find an antidote to put him back on his healthy smooth running condition.

As I was saying, the husband is thinking of remodeling or should I say redesigning the wood dash kits to make it look more modern and newer. It’s also about time to change since the old dash kit is starting to wear off. He stumbled upon Carid.com last night and he thinks that he found the design he has in mind. This is made of premium real woods and coated with polyurethane for a lifetime protection. What’s great about this is that it comes in a full kit with 14 pieces at a guaranteed inexpensive price and easy installation process guide so there’s no need to bring the car to a dealer for an installation fee.

Looks like Green Machine will have a spanking new interior look before the year ends.
