Many articles have been written about vehicles that prevent a person from swerving; cars that automatically slow down or stop when the vehicle comes too close to an object, or my personal favorite, self parking vehicles.
Most Luxury cars will have a feature where the driver will press a “Self Parking Button,” and the vehicle will park itself. But what about the people who cannot afford a luxury car? Instead of going out and spending an arm and a leg, why don’t you consider the option of purchasing a Parking Sensor Kit? There are many kits to choose from that all range in price to fit anyone’s budget. Parking Sensors go as low as $50. The Sensor Kit is easy to install and fits any vehicle. Some of the pricier kits require a little more work to install. If you are not comfortable with removing the bumper of a vehicle yourself, you could easily find an Installation Technician at just about any place that installs Stereo Equipment.
Vehicle Parking Sensors are a wise investment. It was recently reported that the number of children that are injured in parking accidents are equal to the amount of children killed in auto accidents. Vehicle Parking Sensors could be responsible in reducing reversing accidents by 75% and will pay for themselves in the long run by preventing these kinds of accidents. This will save you money on insurance claims and will also keep monthly premiums low.
Each Kit usually comes with 4-8 sensors. Others come with a metallic strip that is installed behind the bumper. The Sensors are either all ultrasonic, or a combination of ultrasonic and radar. As the vehicle reverses towards an object, the LED screen will beep. The closer you get to an object, the faster the beeping.
With all of the money you’ll be saving by preventing auto accidents, you may be able to afford that Luxury Car after all!

Tips for Safe Driving During the Holidays
by: Valerie Nay
Every year during the holiday season TV, radio, newspapers and others talk a lot about the hazards of drunk driving and remind us to be careful. Extra police are on the streets and many cities set up sobriety checkpoints to catch drunk drivers on nights when there are likely to be more parties.
This extra focus reduces the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents and makes all of us safer on the road during the holidays.
Drunk drivers aren’t the only hazard on the road during the holidays, though. While most of us would never dream of getting behind the wheel drunk, we could still be creating serious dangers without thinking about it.
Holiday Madness
Juggling normal responsibilities with shopping, parties, and extra school events can make a normally safe driver a literal wreck. Even if you are always calm and collected, remember that other drivers may be more on edge than usual and take these precautions.
*Be extra patient and make allowances for other people and the mistakes they make. Don’t forget to watch out for pedestrians as well as other drivers.
*Try to keep your attention on what you are doing. Not only could they cause you to make a mistake, but cell phones, eating and other distractions keep you from paying attention to other people and the silly errors they can make.
*Be especially careful in parking lots crammed with cars and pedestrians at this time of year. Take it a little slower than normal to avoid fender benders or worse.
*Take note of your emotions and consider taking a break if you get too stressed out, irritated or emotional. Get a cup of coffee or tea and relax for 10 minutes before you dive back in to the frenzy.
Holiday Fatigue
Another danger that is often forgotten, but also a huge problem during this hectic time of year, is driving while drowsy. Falling asleep at the wheel is obviously the most dangerous result, but tired drivers also tend to be more irritable and impatient.
This year like normal there will no doubt be many people who leave work on Friday and start out on long-distance trips to be with family or friends. College students whose holiday break begin after classes on Friday may be headed home as well.
Here are some recommendations you should consider and pass along to family members and friends who may be traveling by car during the holidays:
*Don’t start your journey tired. Be aware of the risks if you get up unusually early to start your trip or leave directly from work or school when you are tired.
*Plan your trip to include a 15-minute break every two hours.
*Make sure that you and everyone on your trip is carrying emergency contact information and valid identification.
*Share the driving if possible. Safety experts recommend switching off every three hours.
*You’re too tired to drive if you start drifting from your lane, hitting rumble strips, yawning repeatedly, having difficulty focusing or keeping your eyes open, missing road signs or tailgating. Pull over to a safe place as soon as possible, drink a high caffeine drink and take a 15-minute nap.

Megaloud - A New Concept in Car Audio
by: Vincent Craine
For so many years we have relied on the car audio manufactures to put out a great product that we could enjoy listening to. Well just the opposite has happened for the last several years. Many manufactures have tried to find ways to make a profit by selling diluted quality. They have spent thousands of dollars on advertising by pulling full page adds in all the top car audio and car magazines so they could Brain Wash you on how good their product is.
The problem with this is the quality each year keeps going down as the cost rises. The only one loosing is YOU!
Well the time has come to stand up and say enough is enough and demand an honest car audio line that does not depend on mass production and lower quality to survive.
My name is Vince Craine and I want to introduce you to the NEW buzz in the car audio industry. Simply put this new line resulted from one mans dream to produce the best car audio products on the market and make them affordable to the average car audio enthusiast as well as the very competitive car audio competitor.
Introducing Megaloud Inferno Series
Megaloud is brand new concept in car audio. Megelound produces music so crystal clear you won’t believe your own ears. 6 years of Black Board testing has now resulted in the best top of the line audio series without breaking the bank! There is no doubt Megaloud car audio will soon become one of the best lines in the world. (Hint: It’s already there!)
The man behind the dream and inventor is Milt Nasiopoulos… he’s been taking care of car audio enthusiast for decades. Milts passion for car audio started way before he graduated as an electrical engineer from one of the finest colleges in New York.
As a teenager he had a love for music and an ear for quality. As a competitor he tried many different lines but was not satisfied and in his heart felt he had the ability and talent to build a car audio line that would please not only him but also many of his fellow car audio enthusiasts. After many years of testing and blackboard trial he reached his goal. Megaloud was born...! This is a very high end line that will surpass all expectations from his critics and set new standards in the car audio world.

What You Should Know About International Car Shipping
Historically, people liked fairly stationary lives. It was not at all uncommon for a person live out their entire lives in the same town they were born in, just like their ancestors did, because travel was costly, difficult and sometimes dangerous. Thanks to technological advances in the transportation industry, it is now possible to make a cross country trip in just a few hours. The relative speed and ease of travel has inspired folks to conquer destinations they might have missed out on before. It used to be that international travel was only for wealthy people of leisure who had time for the long, expensive trip, but now there are fast, affordable options for people of all walks of life. Along with passenger transport, cargo transport has grown to accommodate vehicles so that your own car could be waiting for you when you reach your destination. Since shipping a vehicle isn’t an everyday activity for most people, here are some things you need to consider before you get started.
The first thing to do is choose a shipping company. You’d begin the process just like you would when looking for any other kind of business. Look at newspaper ads. Check out the yellow pages or business pages in the phonebook. If you live in a land-locked area, there may not be any such listings in your local phonebook. You should be about to locate some companies on the Internet, and can find the resources to investigate them there also. If you are part of a group that travels frequently, such as the military or executive, your colleagues should be able to give some good advice on the matter. Word of mouth is always your best bet.
After you have chosen a company, or at least narrowed it down to a few, you should be asking a lot of questions and getting the answers in writing. Do not count on a verbal agreement. Most companies will have a clause in there contract that says you will be fined if your car isn’t retrieved with in a certain time. Don’t assume you have to sign whatever they put in front of you “as is”. You can negotiate the date and sometimes even get the clause waived. That will save you money if your plans change. Make sure you are aware of all the possible fines and fees so you don’t get any unpleasant surprises.
Costs will vary greatly depending on the make of vehicle you need to move. Obviously, large ones, like RVs and SUVs take up more room and aren’t as easy to maneuver, so they can bring a bigger price, as can classic cars and those who have been modified. You will need to conduct a thorough inspection of your car with the shipping company and make note of any preexisting damage. Being intimately familiar with the details of your car will help you evaluate the condition in which it is returned to you. Make sure you have plenty of insurance. The shippers will only be responsible for damage they directly inflict. If your car gets a flat or something mechanical goes wrong, they won’t have to cover it. You can visit http://www.international-car-shipping-guide.com to find more information about transporting your vehicle abroad.
Moving to a different country can be an adventure or a nightmare. Working with a shipping company that knows the rules and regulations your destination requires of your vehicle will make everything go smoother.

Which Car Did I Park Here?
by: Kathy Austin
Don’t forget you’re the owner of that wonderful Chevrolet Venture; so get a nice grip on the only thing that would get it moving – your key. I am a proud owner of this great model, and this Chevrolet Venture keychain is a perfect companion reminding me constantly the answer to the question “Which one is yours in this sea of parked cars?”
Keys are designed to keep our valuables safe. But losing our key is as annoying as having our stuff stolen sometimes. Owning a Chevy Venture makes me proud with this badge – a leather keychain with a round silver plate engraved with the model name. It reflects my car’s personality (and my own, too!). When this treasured possession got lost, I felt like I went to hell in a week.
Before, I had no trouble explaining to a car park attendant which car is mine because my keychain has the exact model of my car engraved in it. By just a mention of the approximate location, like “It is parked in the second row next to the south entrance” and I am pretty sure he would find it very quickly. Within that week, I had this bad experience giving the car attendant my duplicate key attached to a Mitsubishi keychain. The parking attendant gave me a sharp, suspicious look. I nearly lost my cool to tell him, “Don’t look at me like that! I have all the registrations papers here!”
When the thought of finding a replacement came to me, I Google-searched the item and my eyes immediately caught the image of a fine black leather keychain featuring my Chevy Venture. It’s a not-so-exact replica of the one I’ve lost, it being slightly smaller at three inches tall and 1 1/4 inches wide. It still features the Chevrolet logo and the model name “Venture” highlighted atop a silver round plate with a shiny white plastic backdrop.
Every time I remember my experience which the car park attendant, my hands are moving involuntarily to tap my pockets. I am glad my new keychain is still there.
Here’s another funny anecdote to make you value your keychain more: I had a dinner with my boss in restaurant downtown when it rained like Noah’s time. We parked his car right in front of the restaurant. Trapped in the rain after the sumptuous meal, we were forced to wait at the already jam-packed lobby for about an hour. We do not have umbrellas because these were left inside the car. My poor boss is already fuming mad, ran to his car with a plastic folder on top of his head. He was already soaking wet, and yet he can’t open the door. When he came back to where I was waiting, he was laughing loudly and I thought he had gone crazy. He whispered to me, “Oh my God! What would have happened if the owner of that car saw me? I might have spent the night in jail. Our ride is behind the car I was trying to open like a thief.”

Work Hard Like The Chevy Astro
The Chevrolet’s Astro has an amazing pulling power of 5,500 lb. Now that is the strength of Chevy's Astro.
Introduced in 1985, Chevy’s Astro is a multi-purpose van that effectively competed with rival Dodge’s Plymouth Voyager and various van models of the Japanese manufacturer Toyata. It is a versatile van and could be used as a standard passenger van or a cargo van. The Astro is also used as the base for ‘converted vans’ designed for a variety of uses. General Motor’s Safari, a truck-based platform, is the sibling of the hardworking Astro.
Astro’s body belongs to the M-Van class and is much like its predecessors, the F-Body and X-Body types manufactured by General Motors.
In its article about Chevy Astro, Wikipedia featured an image of this model of a Coca-Cola delivery van. The impression given is that it is for a targeted group of people. That is why people who drive this van are noticeably hardworking folks or at least that’s what the manufacturers want to convey. And there is way to commend them in a very special way – give them a stylish Chevy Astro Keychains.
Compared to Chrysler minivans, the Astro offers much room. General motors marketed this model using the tagline “life is too big for a minivan.” Astro takes pride in accommodating large numbers of people, more than an ordinary car (up to eight (8) passengers). This makes the model ideal for a mini-school bus, tour van, or a family vacation companion.
The Chevy Astro is undoubtedly a durable model, just what hardworking people are looking for in a multi-purpose van. There is this story about one of the eight Special Edition Astro vans manufactured at the Arlington, Texas plant in 1986. According to Wikipedia, the unit spent 20 years in Belton, Texas and is now an ice cream van in Mexico. Uh! That ice man must be a proud owner of a Chevy Astro! He deserves a fine top grain black leather keychain sporting the Chevy Logo and the model name “Astro”.
And mind you, Astro was also a hit in Japan even if the model is only available in left-hand drive units! Japanese converters must have found its genuine power and durability to be above the class its “own” brands. So our keychain manufacturers must take note. Maybe a keychain featuring the Chevy logo and the name “Astro” in Japanese script could be a hit in Japan.
The last of the Astro and Safari models came out just before May 14, 2005 - the day when its manufacturers decided to take it out of production. Two years had passed since then; and there are still a good number of people still driving this hardy vehicle. There are many loyal fans for the Chevy Astro.
This reliable vehicle deserves an honor badge. So what are you waiting for? Give your hardworking friends a great gift to make them value their fellowship with their own great, reliable vehicle. It is a perfect gift for birthdays or this coming Christmas season.
