When it comes to riding the bus, or any public transportation system for that matter, there are a few key items you should always carry with you.  There’s nothing worse than being on a long bus ride or subway commute without any form of entertainment or the necessities to get you where you’re going and keep you in a good mood while you’re getting there. Whether it’s a 15 minute bus ride or an hour commute, these items will come in handy. Head Phones   If you are listening to music, watching a show or just listening to your own thoughts, having headphones to wear while riding the bus will always come in handy.  While some enjoy reading the paper, reading a book or doing a crossword puzzle instead, wearing headphones can help drown out extra noise so that you have a more enjoyable ride.  Headphones can serve as a deterrent to unwanted interruptions but also provide entertainment.

We’re all very well aware that electric cars and hybrids are becoming a more common option for those who wish to drive eco-friendly. However, these electric cars and plug-in hybrids can be considered unaffordable and time-consuming. Traditional hybrids are what set the wheels in motion for electric cars by combining gas engines and electric motors; saving drivers money by being electrically powered once the gas engine shuts off. But if you are not in a place where you can commit time and effort into charging your car, or if you drive frequently long commutes, conventional hybrid cars might be a better option for you. How Do Hybrids Work? While the electric component works as a backup generator, the gas motor can also be used to actually generate enough electricity to charge the hybrid’s battery. When a hybrid car slows down it can save electric power that would’ve otherwise been wasted. They also save fuel and money at slow speeds; when you drive around downtown, the hybri...

It seems like the Takata airbag recall is never-ending. What started as a recall of 4,000 Honda vehicles in November of 2008 has grown into a global, multi-brand issue affecting millions of vehicles across the globe. The vehicles are being recalled due to faulty inflators and propellants in Takata airbags, which have been installed in several vehicle makes and models. When a collision occurs in affected models where the airbags are deployed, the defective inflators have the potential to shatter. The shattered pieces, being propelled by the force of the propellant, can potentially harm vehicle occupants with lacerations. Faulty Takata airbags have been linked to 10 deaths and over 100 injuries since the introduction of the defective product. We need to pay attention to this because not only have people lost their lives due to faulty inflators placed in Takata airbags, but the vehicle brands affected by these potentially harmful airbags seem to be announcing themselves at a slow pace...

What Makes Cars and Trucks Reliable and Dependable? Cars and trucks are not all built the same. Manufacturer’s can take shortcuts, have consistency issues with parts that they source, or build something cheap that consumers want. Despite this,  Chrysler sold over 600,000 over its 11 year lifespan. So, what makes the most reliable used cars and trucks, well, so reliable? Every once in a while, the stars align and car manufacturer’s give each other a round of high-fives in the R&D room. They create a vehicle that is half car and… Half zombie. That’s right. These cars won’t die unless, you know, destroy their metaphorical “brains,” or set them on fire. But unlike zombies, their purpose is to get you from point A to point B, no matter what. The cars below are for, whatever reason, the living dead of the automotive world and we love them for that. Saab 900: 1985 – 1993 Our first car on our list of reliable and dependable zombie cars is the Saab 900s made ...

So, you may be a new driver, you may be an experienced driver, you may be going on a long road trip for the first time, whatever it may be, you need to make sure one thing is protected. You. There is only one thing in that vehicle that is priceless. That’s you. Too many times have I personally witnessed serious injuries, and even deaths from auto accidents. All because they took safety as an exaggeration and not as important. Well, I too was guilty of this. I was always the one saying ‘’Oh we’re just going around the block or down the street. I’ll be ok.’’ Well, that all ended once my friend ran a stoplight, crashed, and gave me a severe concussion. I didn’t know who I was or where I was. Scary feeling. Let’s put a stop to this for good. Here are some of the most important driving safety tips to always remember! Always Buckle Your Seat-belt Why do I really need to put my seat-belt on and sit back in my seat? It’s the little things that could have prevented injury and that d...

What Makes Them the Hardest Cars to Work On? Some cars are known for their unforgiving, knuckle skin-scraping difficulty to wrench on. These are the hardest cars to work on because of the amount of time, dedication, and effort that is required to do even the most simple maintenance tasks. Some of these cars require that half the car be disassembled before you can begin your task. Others have such small engine bays that only small hands can fit into most places. If you have one of the cars below, we recommend either spending thousands on repairs with specialty mechanics or getting rid of it entirely! The MINI Cooper It may not come to much of a surprise that a car with “mini” as its brand name would be difficult to work on. The biggest reason often cited for the difficulty of working on a  MINI Cooper  is the lack of room in the engine bay. It takes mini hands to work on a Cooper and they still won’t come out unscathed. AxleAddict wrote an article about how it’s on...

After getting into a car accident, things can get confusing. There are quite a few steps you need to take, and there’s a lot of info you’ll need to process. That includes having to learn some insurance lingo you might not be familiar with. If your car has suffered some extreme damage in an accident, you might be hearing the phrase, “total loss vehicle”. But what does that even mean? You might be more familiar with saying a car in a bad accident was “totaled”. This is just the layman’s term for the exact same thing. Most insurance companies will label a car as a “total loss” when the cost to repair the vehicle would be more than its actual cash value. They also might be required by specific state laws to classify it as a total loss if the car wouldn’t be safe to operate even if it was fixed. The main thing that insurance companies take into consideration when declaring a vehicle, a “total loss” is the value of the car. To the untrained eye, some cars may loo...
