Preserving the American classic car

If you know me then you already know how I like to talk about
the preservation of the classic American cars and muscle cars, I
can’t emphasize enough how important it is to keep these cars on
the roads, so we have a presence of them around.

Isn’t it enough that our country is getting inundated by
imports, and the fact that people are always saying how much
better other countries are building cars then we do, well
without Henry Ford none of them would be building cars as we
know them today, and if I remember correctly he was an American.

We need a heavy presence of American cars, just to help put
way the dull drab looking imports, you know cars that have a
little style and character to offer, not just these cookie
cutter expensive, yet cheap built imports, how much better is a
BMW, Mercedes or any other import then a good old American car.

Buy American people, all I hear is people bitching about the
economy, well it seems to me that if we were to buy our own
country’s products, it would improve our well being, and that we
would have a better economy, we would all be a lot happier, if
you buy an American car from an American dealer or an
individual, you have done your part to help the economy.

Let’s say that you bought a car from a dealer, he’d have to pay
taxes, and that would help the economy, and the car manufacture
of American cars would hire Americans to build the cars, and
that would also help the economy by keeping the money that the
manufacture pays it’s employees in our country, and buying
things from American companies, therefore improving the economy.

This brings me to the whole point of this little rant, if we
were all to buy an old classic American car and restore it to
it’s original glory, we’d be buying parts from American
companies and having American businesses restoring those cars,
and thereby infusing money back in to the economy, to help build
our country’s economy back to it’s stable old self, we all need
to think more like this.

Mercedes Design Shows Why They’re Favorites

What is the definition of a classic car? One answer just might be: Mercedes Benz. With brilliant design and craftsmanship, Mercedes has always been in the top of their class, setting the standard for everyone else to follow.

Mercedes Benz is the oldest and arguably the most famous car brand in the entire world. Each car is built to reflect a specific design and performance philosophy although every car is recognizable as part of the Mercedes family. In this way, customers can trust that their vehicle will have the power, comfort, and handling that is synonymous with the Mercedes name.

Mercedes relies on target groups to maintain their admirable brand identity. Never veering from their original three-point philosophy, designers are continually dreaming up new models that represent the changing times and the prospect of a high tech future. As a result, Mercedes manages to bridge the gap between the past and the present, the traditional and the contemporary.

The latest Mercedes model is a stellar example of this modern mindset. The SLR McLaren is a wondrous achievement that has been called “the Greatest Car in the World” by Esquire Magazine. With a frame made from carbon fiber instead of the usual steel and a modern, stunning exterior design, this car heralds the next wave of automobiles and establishes that Mercedes Benz will lead us to the classic cars of the future.

The front seat is designed like a cockpit for a reason. When you drive an SLR McLaren, you are not just the driver - you’re the pilot. Mercedes has built you a road-craft for you to fly across the open air highway. With ample, leather seats and dual zone CFC-free automatic climate control, it’s better than your own private jet. Take it home. Take it anywhere. Wherever you go, Mercedes will send you in style.

E85 Ethanol, Golden Opportunity???

Will the automakers and the country as a whole take advantage of a golden opportunity, or will apathy prevail again.

I use the term E85 Ethanol metaphorically, what I’m talking about is fuel made from a renewable source.

I don’t care what you call it. It happens that we already have the technology and the facilities to produce Ethanol.

Ethanol can be made from all sorts of organic material, wood chips, corn stalks, beets, saw grass and so on.

The golden opportunity for the auto industry is that America for a change is ahead of foreign competition in the development of multi-fuel vehicles and USA is the agricultural leader of the world.

This creates the opportunity for the automakers to start making vehicles that appeal to the public and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

The President has opened the door to development of E85 and we should support him
.
At present there are a number of problems with the use of Ethanol, all of which are soluble.

1. Ethanol is expensive. Development and volume production will reduce the price.

2. Ethanol gets less mileage causing more frequent stops for fuel. This is a no brainer. Increase the size of the fuel tanks.

3. Not enough stations carry it. If demand is there the supply will follow.

Volume demand and production should eventually solve most if not all of the problems connected with mult-fuel vehicles.

Multi-fuel vehicles are a better solution than hybrids. They are cheaper to build. Even at present low volume they only cost $150.00 more than conventional vehicles.
With volume that should drop.

They use present day technology and are far simpler, consequently less expensive to maintain and repair.

If the automakers and the government and we Americans get behind this effort we can save what’s left of a decimated auto industry.

We can reduce and possibly eliminate the need for foreign oil and in the process create more jobs for America.

The Auto Industry has to make cars that Americans will buy.

The government has to provide tax breaks and subsidies to expedite development of alternative fuels.

The people have to get behind this. We should also develop our own oil resources and nuclear energy and stop listening to the extreme environmentalists that have helped to create a lot of our problems.

Eventually we are going to have to do these things anyway: fossil fuels are not going to last forever.

America once led the Automotive World. We have the brains and the wealth, now all we need is the will to do it again.

Batteries - How Do You Know You’ll Have the Juice When You Need It?

Modern vehicles make a lot of demands upon their batteries. We expect our batteries to be reliable, have a large reserve capacity and a long life span, and be maintenance-free. In short, once a battery has been installed, we no longer want to think about it. Here’s some tips on how to choose a battery that will serve you well.

For automotive applications, there are basically three types of batteries: conventional, maintenance-free, and recombination.

Conventional Batteries

A 12-volt automotive battery contains six cells. In each cell is a series of alternating positive and negative plates, between which are isolator or separator plates to keep them apart. All the negative plates in the battery are connected, as are all the positive plates. Each plate has a grid construction, and to this grid, the plate’s active material - sponge lead - is bonded. The plates in each. cell are covered with a solution of distilled water and sulfuric acid (electrolyte). As the battery discharges (supplies electricity), the acid in the electrolyte reacts with the active material in the battery plates, forming lead sulfate and weakening the electrolyte solution. Conversely, as the battery is charged, the acid is returned to the solution, thereby strengthening it, and the used portion of the lead sulfate is converted back into active material in the plates. During this process, hydrogen and oxygen molecules are off-gassed out of the electrolyte, which is why a conventional battery often needs topping up with distilled water. The charge and discharge cycle also means that some lead sloughs off the plates. Over time, this builds up in the bottom of the case, reducing the overall capacity of the battery fluid. When enough material builds up, the plates will short out, and you’re stuck with a dead battery.

Maintenance-Free Batteries

Closed (maintenance-free) batteries are essentially the same as conventional batteries, except that they contain extra electrolytes in the partially sealed case. However, over time, this excess fluid is used up as fluid slowly off-gases hydrogen and oxygen molecules through the vents. Because these batteries cannot usually be topped off, once the plates begin to be exposed, the battery’s life span is over. Usually, this takes a long period of time, which is why these batteries often last longer than conventional batteries. However, in situations where frequent, rapid charge/discharge occurs (such as when running a winch or powerful spotlight without running the engine), a maintenance-free battery may not outlast a conventional one.

Another type of maintenance-free battery is the gel-type battery While these batteries cannot leak or spill fluid and can be installed at odd angles, they do have a weakness. Using electrolyte gel necessitates the use of thinner plates so that adequate dispersion of the acid through the active material occurs. Since gel batteries are also sealed, they cannot be topped off and care must be taken when charging so they don’t overcharge and gas-off, which will result in excessive sloughing of the plates, premature reduction in electrolytes, and eventual battery failure. This means that during the harsh vibrations associated with trail riding, a marginal gel battery can fail completely as the plates literally fall apart.

Recombination Batteries

The recombination battery is overall the best battery for off-road and heavy-duty use. They’re called recombination because they recombine the gas formed during charging, channeling it into the separators so it doesn’t vent out of the battery and reclaiming the water to keep electrolyte concentration at optimum. They are completely sealed (except for a reseating pressure-relief vent) and require no topping off of fluids. Recombination batteries can use either liquid or gel-type electrolytes and are different from other batteries because the acid is bound into the separators and pure lead can be used in the plates. Because of the purity of the materials used, there is no sloughing and the plates in these batteries can be very tightly packed. The result is a powerful, compact battery with quicker charging time, lower internal resistance than conventional or maintenance-free batteries, and a longer life span. In fact, for a conventional battery to deliver the same amount of starting power as a recombination battery, it would have to be two or three times larger. Because they contain no liquid as such, recombination batteries can be mounted in any position, will work when the case is damaged, and won’t leak in a rollover. In short, for off-road use, they are just about the perfect battery.

How Batteries Are Rated

Battery ratings are a determination of how much power a battery can produce under marginal conditions. There are a number of ways to determine a battery’s output, but ratings by ampere hour (Ah), cold-cranking amperes (CCA), and reserve capacity are the most common.

Ampere hours are determined by the SAE 20 test. This test is designed to show the amount of current that can be drawn from a battery for 20 hours without the voltage dropping below 1.75 volts per cell. In real-world terms, this means that a healthy battery should be capable of keeping the parking lights lit for 20 hours. For starting your truck, Ah doesn’t mean much. However, for powering accessories without the engine running, this can be an important measurement.

Cold-cranking amperes or CCA is the unit of measurement that generally determines a battery’s ability to start your engine. CCA is a measurement of the worst conditions under which a battery can be expected to deliver current, and it tests how much current in amperes a battery can deliver under extreme cold. According to the American SAE standard, CCA is determined by measuring how much current can be delivered in amperes for 30 seconds at -18 degrees C with a final voltage of 7.2 volts per cell or higher.

Reserve capacity is an important measurement for the total capacity of the battery and shows how long a battery can keep the engine running if the alternator/generator fails. Reserve capacity of a battery is measured in minutes at room temperature (approximately 70 degrees F). During this test, 25 amperes is drawn from the battery for as long as the voltage does not drop below 10.5 volts. For off-road use, it’s a good idea to make sure any battery you purchase has a reserve capacity of at least 120 minutes.

Reserve capacity is also important for those times when you need to run a radio, spotlight, winch, or other electrical accessory without running the engine.

A Batteries Two Enemies

Although just about all modem batteries are pretty reliable, there are two enemies that can grind even a brand-new battery to a halt - extreme cold and extreme heat. Batteries are at their best with internal temperatures (not ambient) above 50 degrees F and below 105 degrees F. Below and above this range, problems can develop, and a dead, damaged, or . useless battery can be the result.

We’ve all noticed that under extremely cold conditions (below freezing), the battery will turn over the starter motor slowly, if at all. This is because when the internal temperature of the battery gets below the optimum range, the chemical reaction inside the battery happens more slowly, and for every 10-degree drop below freezing, the time that the chemical reaction takes doubles. Because of this increased resistance, the voltage in the battery drops and cannot turn over the engine.

Heat can also have an adverse effect on your battery’s overall health. Battery power is reduced when it’s subjected to excessive temperatures, but the problem may not be immediately noticed until the temperature drops. At higher temperatures, the chemical reaction within the battery is more rapid. The battery can produce more energy more quickly. This is good, right? Wrong. The higher rate of energy production results in an increase in off gassing; the water in the battery is vented out as hydrogen and oxygen molecules and the rate of internal corrosion, or sloughing, increases. This can result in a short in one or more cells that is not noticed until cold weather diminishes the overall ability of the battery.

What to Buy

When it comes to batteries for automotive use, there is no such thing as a perfect battery. Any battery can fail if it is neglected, constantly overloaded, or overcharged. The important thing to remember is to get the right battery for your needs, one that is rated for your vehicle and all the accessories you use. Generally, this means a high Ah, high CCA, and high reserve capacity. Also, make sure you buy a quality unit. Don’t be fooled by the low price of the budget shops. Batteries sold in the no-name-battery discount stores often are poorly assembled and use inferior materials in the plates and separators. Name-brand batteries, such as AC-Delco, Sears DieHard, Exide, Interstate, Optima, and others, are manufactured to the highest standards, delivering high reliability combined with long life.

For off-road use, however, we feel that the recombination battery is the best overall, since it delivers high output, needs no maintenance, holds up well to the rigors of off-road driving, and has a quick recharge rate, as well as a long life span. It is a particularly useful battery for the off-roader because it has no liquid to leak out and can be mounted in any position (even upside down). Because of this, it won’t corrode battery trays or cables and is safe in a collision. You can actually shoot a 45-caliber bullet through the battery casing and it will still crank at full power. Try that with a conventional battery, and you have a leaking mess that will at best produce minimal voltage.

Although recombination batteries are sold under various brand names, Optima’s 800U is the original and also the only battery available with both top posts and side terminals, a feature that makes it especially well suited for specialized installations and powering accessories and where there is installation room for only one battery Since we also run a winch and driving lights from the starting battery, it has to be a powerful one. The 800 CCA and 120 minutes of reserve capacity the Optima offers means we can rely on the unit as a power source for lights and winch use when the engine is down, without sacrificing starting ability. Additionally, the side terminals make it easy to power the winch and other accessories directly off the battery without disconnecting the main power cables and disabling the vehicle’s computer. This makes for a clean installation without a lot of cable clutter at the main battery posts, which is especially important when there’s limited space around the battery top.

Motorcycle Insurance

These days, simply being careful while out and about with your
bike and using safety gear is not the only protection you need!
Motorcycles have a far higher rate of accidents per unit
distance than cars. This is due to the exposed rider and the
fact that many automobile drivers fail to see these smaller
vehicles in the traffic stream.

Also, as the law and lawsuit trials become more and more
“complicated,” you might even end up paying for the guy who was
talking on his sell phone while driving, failed to see you and
pushed you in the ditch. Of course, he had a good lawyer. And
you, … well, your brand new bike is bits and pieces, not to
even mention being hurt from the fall.

So, you either cough up few thousand dollars for the medical
bills and fixing your bike, or contact your insurance to take
care of the bill. Your motorcycle is a major investment, one
that is certainly worth protecting. Making a smart insurance
decision is crucial for your protection and protection of your
motorcycle.

However, choosing the right insurance policy for you is much
more like choosing the right bike. You want it to fit your
lifestyle, but at the same time you want it to fit your budget.

And, better coverage does not necessarily mean paying more for
your insurance. Based on your motorcycle, driving history, and
location, instead of getting the best rate from one company,
you’ll need to contact more insurance companies and get their
best rates for your coverage. And the key to finding which
coverage is best for you involves learning about all of the
available options.

Although most US states require you to carry a minimum amount of
liability coverage, other types of coverage are usually
optional. Always ask your insurance representative about which
laws apply in your state or city.

Let’s look at the different options.

Liability coverage

In many countries, liability insurance is a mandatory form of
insurance since you’re at risk of being sued by the injured
party being involved in the accident. Most US states require
motorcyclists to carry a minimum amount of liability in case of
third party injuries, however insurance experts recommend
purchasing as much as three times the minimum in these times of
expensive litigation. Liability coverage protects you if you (or
another person driving your car with your permission) injure or
kill someone or damage property. Liability insurance covers
bodily injury and property damage that you may cause to other
people involved in an accident, up to the limit of liability you
select. It doesn’t cover you or your motorcycle. But it gives
you a protection from a lawsuit. Also, find out if your coverage
includes Guest Passenger Liability, which provides protection in
the event that a passenger is injured on the motorcycle. It
depends on the laws of your state and the company issuing the
policy.

Collision coverage

While the liability coverage is required by law, in many cases
collision coverage is optional. Why, you might ask? Collision
coverage is the one that pays for the damage to your motorcycle,
not the other guy’s, and it’s optional? We’ll let the lawmakers
protect “the other guy” while you need a collision coverage to
pay for the damage to your motorcycle when you collide with
another vehicle or object. It covers the cost to repair or
replace your motorcycle, regardless of who is at fault. You
select a deductible, and once the deductible is met, the
insurance company pays for the remaining damage. Collision
insurance usually covers the book value of the motorcycle before
the loss occurred - factory parts. If you get fancy and add
anything extra–like nifty chrome accessories, a custom paint
job - additional coverage will be required for compensation.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive coverage pays (less the deductible) for damages
caused by circumstances other than accident, such as vandalism,
fire or theft. And again, it covers only the book value of the
motorcycle.

Uninsured motorist coverage

If the knucklehead who hit your bike is uninsured, this
insurance will cover damages you incur that the “at-fault” party
is legally liable for, such as medical treatment and lost wages.
Despite laws requiring insurance in practically every state, a
lot of people are still driving without even basic liability
coverage. The uninsured motorist section of your policy protects
you if you or your passenger is hurt by “one of those” people.
If your uninsured motorist coverage includes property damage,
then your motorcycle would also be covered under the same
circumstances - covering for damage to your motorcycle caused by
someone who does not have insurance. Check with your insurance
to see if property damage is included or needs to be purchased
separately.

Underinsured motorist coverage

Underinsured motorist coverage is similar to the uninsured
motorist coverage. This coverage reimburses you if the person
who hit you doesn’t have enough insurance to cover for all of
your damages. If your injury expenses exceed the “at-fault”
person’s liability limits, you can use Underinsured Motorists
Coverage to pay for the amount not covered by the person’s
insurance. Underinsured Motorists coverage is designed to cover
the gap between the other person’s liability limits and the
amount of your injury expenses. The trick is that in order for
this coverage to kick in, the other driver has to be declared at
fault. In most states, when blame is in doubt or the amount
payable is contested, you and your insurer have to submit your
differences to arbitration.

Medical payments coverage

Medical Payments coverage pays the cost of necessary medical
care you receive as a result of a motorcycle accident and can be
used regardless of who is at fault. This coverage often is
limited. Check with your insurance company for the specific
dollar amount and the number of years that they will cover after
the accident. In some states, medical payments coverage only
applies after other medical insurance is exhausted.

Custom parts and equipment

This coverage is an addition to your Comprehensive or Collision
coverage. When you have custom parts and equipment on your
motorcycle, you can purchase this Additional coverage to cover
equipment, up to a dollar amount defined by the insurance
company. Ask your insurance for the specific custom parts and
details that they are willing to cover. Recommendation: retain
photos of the motorcycle and all the receipts for your custom
parts and equipment.

Roadside assistance

Roadside Assistance coverage provides towing to the nearest
qualified repair facility and necessary labor at the place of
disablement when your motorcycle is disabled due to reasons
defined by the insurance company. Roadside Assistance is
sometimes included with your Comprehensive coverage at no
charge. Ask your insurance agent. If not, in most cases the
Roadside Assistance coverage can be purchased at a nominal fee.

Many factors can play a role in determining what your insurance
costs will be, such as your age, your driving record, where you
live and the type of motorcycle you own. Unless you’re high
risk, there are ways to keep your costs down so you won’t have
to pay very high rates. Many companies offer discounts from 10
to 15 percent on motorcycle insurance for graduates of training
courses.

In many northern states, riders may save money by buying a
“lay-up” policy. With a lay-up policy, all coverage except
comprehensive is suspended during winter months.

5 Tips to Picking the Best Radar Detector

Do you remember the last speeding ticket that you received? Do
you remember thinking that you should have had a radar detector?
Do you remember thinking that you didn’t even know how to start
looking or what to look for when getting one? Well, life just
got a little easier; follow these tips when you decide you don’t
want another speeding ticket to remember.

The internet is the best source of information for most people.
There are a number of sites that offer expert testimony
regarding the options and models that will best suit your
specific needs and budget.

An interesting fact to keep in mind when deciding whether to
purchase a radar detector, there are over 100,000 radar
detectors in use by law enforcement everyday in this country.
That number is steadily climbing by approximately 20,000 more
every year. Are these odds that you want to be up against the
next time you are speeding?

Price is also a consideration for most people. However, the old
adage, you get what you pay for, is incredibly true in the case
of radar detectors. When you think about the money that is spent
when you get a speeding ticket (the cost of the ticket, time
away from work to pay for it, increased insurance costs, etc),
it is worth it for most people to spend the extra money to buy a
high quality radar detector. That being said, most detectors can
be found starting at around $90.00.

Do you remember the last speeding ticket that you received? Do
you remember thinking that you should have had a radar detector?
Do you remember thinking that you didn’t even know how to start
looking or what to look for when getting one? Well, life just
got a little easier; follow these tips when you decide you don’t
want another speeding ticket to remember.

Adjusting Motorcycle Chains

Adjusting the chains is a grimy task. Nevertheless, you can do
it in a matter of 15 minutes if you know exactly what to do.

First, you must be aware that adjusting the chains depend on the
type of bike you have. Another, make sure that the rear wheel
remains straight throughout the process. Aside from that, if you
just want a slightly oiled chain, do not overdo it. This may
drown the chain and further frustrate you.

Second, check on the chain tension. You have to line up the
swingarm, front sprocket and the rear sprocket to achieve a
maximum extension. However, you will not probably perfect it but
plonking in the saddle is a nice start. Twist the lower run of
the chain close to the middle. Fifteen to twenty millimeter is
the right measurement of the slack up and down. Beyond it will
be too loose and lower it will be too tight.

We have to adjust the chain to give it a natural flow. Too tight
chain strains the sprockets, gearbox bearings and itself. If you
keep the chain running in that condition, it can cost you
expensive damages. On the other hand, if you run it too loose,
it can further cause sprocket wear or worst throwing itself off
the sprockets resulting to an awful collision. It pays to have a
well adjusted chain so as to transmit the power smoothly, evens
the gear changes, prolongs the chain’s life and to secure a
thrilling and exciting ride without the worry of chain
discrepancy.

How do we adjust them? First, check your manuals. Adjusting them
may vary depending on the bike model you have. After checking
it, move the rear wheel back gradually. A millimeter or two at a
time can is fine. Now, check the tension. Be careful because a
small amount of rear wheel movement can make a big difference.
You must move both sides evenly. You can use as a guide the
swingarm since it will be having some markings near the axle.
Remember to keep it even. A word of caution though, markings may
be in accurate at times and may end up with a misaligned wheel.

To be sure always double check the motorcycle parts. If you
already have the tension right, you have to nip up all the bolts
again. Greater force must be exerted on the axle bolts and axle
clamps. However, adjuster screws must be treated gently. If you
are unsure of what to do or what to expect, do not hesitate to
ask assistance from the expert in motorcycle parts and services.

Be guided accordingly. You got to be accurate and extra careful
in order to make things right and functional.
