Famous Movie Cars

Sometimes Hollywood makes certain models of cars as famous as the actors that star in movies.  Take the case of “Back to the Future.”  That movie has made the Delorean DMC-12 easily as famous as any of the actors in the film.  Just think about the phrase “Flux Capacitor” and you’ll get the idea.  Let’s take a look at several other cars made famous by the moviemakers in Hollywood.

KITT of “Knight Rider”

Turning Heads With Your Squeaky-Clean Car

Getting your car washed is one of the things that all car owners do quite regularly.  It is a necessary effort, as our cars are constantly attacked by the dirt and grime that permeates the roads. In some cases, such as smashed bugs, mud, and so forth, these are cosmetic problems that need to be addressed. However, with things such as tar, or the salt and sand used on wintery roads, the problem is much more than cosmetic and can actually cause permanent damage to the exterior of your car.
So what can you do?
Proper Car Washing
Many people complain about swirl marks that can completely disfigure the paint of a car. What is the cause of these ugly marks?  Surprisingly, these marks may very well be cause by an improper washing method. When improper methods are used, swirls and scratches in the paint can appear, meaning that your hard work is not only going to waste, but is actually creating a much worse problem that needs to be addressed.
Washing your car every week is actually recommended. Why so often? Because the contaminants that every car produces, such as brake dust, coat our cars with corrosive material that we can hardly see. Getting rid of these contaminants as soon as possible will ensure your car is properly cared for. Read More: TopCarsPicks.com

Petroleum 101

You probably know that petroleumis used to make an enormous number of substances that we use today.Let’s take a look at what petroleumreally is and how refineries transform it from a thick black fluid into thousands of other useful substances.

Petroleum

Petroleum is the term for raw oil that is pumped out of the ground. Also known as crude oil, petroleum is a fossil fuel. This means it was made naturally from decaying plants and animals living in ancient seas hundreds of millions years ago. Crude oils vary in color from clear to jet black, and in viscosity, from molasses thick to almost water-like. Petroleumis such a good starting point for so many other things because it is made up of components that contain hydrocarbons. Read More: TopCarsPicks.com

How Repo Men Work

Most people finance new vehicles today. That means that they borrow money from a financial institution to buy their vcar or truck and then make monthly payments. These monthly payments are made over a period of 4-8 years and until the final payment is made, the lender will hold a lien against the vehicle. A lien refers to a legal concept that gives the lender the right to take possession of the vehicle again if certain conditions aren’t met.  One of the major conditions is if the owner of the vehicle stops making the monthly payments.
When a borrower stops making payments, the lender will usually contact the borrower and resolve the issue.If they borrower hasn’t paid in a while and  the loan reaches a certain state of delinquency, usually 90 days, the lender generally attempts to get the vehicle. This is a last resort for a loaner though, becausethe value of the vehicle has gone down, sometimes quite a bit, and the repossession itself costs money.Hillview Motors of Greensburg, PA, a long time Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealer, insists that lenders really don’t want to repossess automobiles but sometimes they have to.

Is That “New Car Smell”Safe?

“New Car Smell” (NCS) is unique smell of the interior of a brand new car. Most people find they like it, probably because they associate it with the excitement of owning a new vehicle. This is what Brown Daub Fiat of Easton, PA seems to think. In fact, some people like it so much that they buy air freshenersdesigned to mimic the smell.  But some people think the new car smell might not be perfectly safe to breath. In this article, we will look a closer at this dilemma.

What is it?

As we mentioned above, NCS is simply the smell that you perceive when you sit in a brand new car. The smell is the combination of dozens of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) being released from things like the plastic dash, the carpets, the seats and other polymer-based interior materials. Chemical engineers call this process “out-gassing.” Outgassing is what almost all polymers and plastics do when they are freshly made. Think of it like the smells that occur when you are cooking.
