How Car Insurance Might Save You From A Economic Ruin After a Crash

Posted on March 31, 2018 by blogger

Your car insurance policy is supposed to help prevent any financial disaster due to a car accident. Whenever you run into a road incident and cars or home is damaged, your vehicle insurance plan will help you cover another party for that loss. But there has to be tangible evidence that you’re the main cause of the accident. Using a automobile insurance policy, it’s in fact possible to make up for deaths and injuries.

Many different types of accident exists. What this means is the service expense may range between one extreme to another. Repairing tiny damages can cause the vehicle owner anything from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars. You really should examine the estimated costs ahead of auto repairs. A few damages may need a lot more spare parts to restore. Others require quite a few surfaces to spray paint on. As a result use your personal objective viewpoint when talking to your car technician.

In case your car insurance fees are merely a tiny proportion of the service cost, it may be advantageous to claim from the insurance company. On the other hand if the claims is just a fraction of your monthly premiums, it definitely is not good to file for claims. It’s because it doesn’t sound right to pay for even more monthly premiums for the next 36 months as a result of a really small claim made within the policy period. This is certainly true, even if you think it is strange.

You need to file a coverage claim only when the car accident repair cost is substantial. It is in accordance with how much money you may be paying for the car insurance fees. So it will be all worth it, there is a guide you may use. If your car accident repair costs one and a half times in excess of your insurance premium, it could be great to make claims. Definitely, if you feel any type of financial stress as a consequence of a substantial accident statement, make the car insurance claims straight away.

Any sort of accident that concerns actual injury has the potential to become seriously unpleasant. There is always serious pain involved, individuals become affected and need immediate medical assistance. You may become broke instantly if you should pay the price of hospital expenses. For this reason auto insurance is very necessary, even when you do not use your automobile frequently. Accidents can happen. Accidents are occasions which no individual desires. Yet they still occur. Whilst the most severe can happen, you’re still protected by your car insurance policy. This is because every cost can be reimbursed, aside from the excess.

In conclusion, prior to your choosing an automobile insurance policy, you should always be investing in a comprehensive coverage. This is because a third party or third party fire and theft insurance only covers the damage you cause to other folks. Your own car remains unprotected from harm. Hence if your automobile is entirely damaged, you’ve still got to pay lots of money repairing it or to purchase a new one.

What You Need To Know To Drive A Car

Posted on March 28, 2018 by blogger

The first thing that any new driver must do before driving an automobile is to become familiar with all of the automobile safety features and controls. Once you are completely familiar with your vehicle, you are ready to begin. Before pulling away in your car, however, be sure that it is completely safe for driving. Here is a list of points you should always check before starting the engine:

1. AIl books and coats should be placed in the trunk, so that you have a greater amount of room available for driving unhampered – a safety feature and a comfort feature combined.
2. Be sure that backseat of the car is clear. If suddenly, any loose articles in the back seat could be hurled to the front, and injury may result.
3. You should get into the car by the curb side whenever practicable. In some places it is an offence to open the driver’s door in any way that creates a hazard to passing vehicles. In automobiles in which this is impractical, or in awkward situations, extreme care must be taken. Always approach the driver’s-side door from the front of the car, so that you cannot fail to see oncoming traffic.
4. AII doors should be locked to help prevent them from flying open in a collision, and to keep anyone from forcing their way into your car if you stop in traffic.
5. Check to ensure that the parking brake is on to prevent any movement of the vehicle. The gear selector should be in Park before starting.
6. Make sure that signal lights function properly. (The car will have to be on to check if they are working properly.)
7. Adjust the ventilation; excessive hear will cause drowsiness, and poor ventilation may create a carbon monoxide hazard.
8. Adjust the seat so that you can reach all foot pedals comfortably. Also make sure that you have unobstructed vision at all angles. It may be necessary to use cushions to attain this.
9. Adjust all mirrors so that you can tell at a glance the positions of other vehicles on the road.
10. Fasten your seat belts. The car should not be put in motion until all belts are fastened and adjusted.
11. Check that the brake pedal has resistance when you press it. This indicates that there is sufficient brake fluid in the brake lines and that the brakes will function properly. If the hydraulic brakes do not function, do not attempt to get to a garage, but have the car towed there by a tow truck.
12. Be alert but relaxed. You are no longer a pedestrian. You are in command of a powerful machine that can give thousands of miles of service and satisfaction, but which is also capable of destroying life and property.

Preparing to drive

Getting ready to drive is an important event in a young persons life. Are you emotionally prepared to drive? Are you ready to concentrate all your attention on driving? Do you possess the necessary safe attitude for competent, efficient driving? Are you willing to overlook the mistakes of other drivers? If the answers to all of these questions are ‘yes’ then you are ready to begin.

1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. Press the brake pedal with the right foot and hold. The vehicle must not move until you are ready. This step also tests the brakes for proper function, and is an excellent safety precaution. If the brake is working properly, you will be unable to press the pedal completely to the floor.
3. Move the selector lever to Drive. This is the position for normal driving in most automobiles.
4. Place your hands on the steering wheel in the “ten-and-two” position.
5. Always look behind you. Using the mirrors is not enough: there is a “blind spot” that must be checked by looking over your left shoulder.
6. Signal your intentions, to inform other drivers what you intend to do. (Even at this practice stage, you should perform every step as though you were in regular traffic. This way, the proper techniques will soon become second nature, and you will make the transition from the practice area to the busy street with a minimum of difficulty.)
7. Remove your right foot from the brake and place it on the accelerator. Your left foot should be used only to engage the parking brake and to change the driving lights from low to high and back.
8. Release the parking brake.
9. Gently depress the accelerator. Smooth driving is the mark of an expert.
10. Re-check the traffic, and move out when the way is clear. Always re-check traffic. You are now on the road. Look ahead and get the complete picture. Know what is behind you, to your left, to your right, and in front.
11. In preparing to stop, check your blind spot, signal and then pull over to the side of the road when the way is clear.
12. Brake to a smooth stop. Place the gear selector in Park, turn off the ignition, and remove the key. Engage the parking brake, and, if leaving the car, lock all doors. Leave via the curb side if at all possible.

Car Parts Putting A Car Back Together Again

Posted on March 26, 2018 by blogger

So youve sunk a whole load of money into an old car with the intention of lovingly restoring it to its former glory. But its only now that youve started looking for car parts that youre beginning to wonder what on earth have you let yourself in for. Whether youre in it for the money or for the sheer fun of it, any car you restore is only going to be the sum of the car parts you put into it. So before you start building from scratch, here are a few points to consider.

Cars arent that complicated to understand, right? Well, theres a world of difference between replacing the odd car part here and there and refitting the insides of an empty carcass like a jigsaw. Before you commit financially to any project, be sure to ascertain honestly what your ability is, and also how much time and effort youre prepared to put into the project. A fancy paint job and new upholstery can be as much fun as installing the most basic of engine parts, if that is where your technical comfort level is. Consider what youre prepared to put in, before you start ripping those old car parts out.

Once youve decided upon the type of project you want to work with, be sure to wait for the right car with the right parts. Of course you can learn as you go along, and that might even be part of the fun, but dont invest in a car minus parts you havent the interest in learning to find and fit. You might love that make and model at the time of purchase, but a few weeks of sitting in your front yard without the final missing part will be enough to sour your relationship forever.

If you are a novice, be sure to take an expert car parts man along with you when you view potential cars and parts. What might look about right to you might actually be along the wrong lines completely, and you could find yourself shelling out a fortune for a part that is completely unsuitable. Also bear in mind always how much money you are willing to spend on car parts, and what you plan ultimately to do with your restored car. An older part might be fine in a vehicle you hope to use for show purposes only, but a fully operable car will need car parts of the same standard.

Caution is the watchword when choosing car parts to put into your restoration job. Know what you want and stick to that, and if in doubt then save your money. Whatever your reasons for restoring a car, the parts you put inside need to be just right, so do the best job you can by waiting for the best parts.

Canard SXT The EV, Jet Sports Car that Flys 300 MPH – The Dream!

Posted on March 24, 2018 by blogger

For man or woman to fly is the dream; but to be able to drive your very own beautiful sports car that fly’s is beyond imagination.

The name – airplane, car, plane, sports car, race car, flying car, and now the flying sports car. The New EV flying jet sports car. Well what can I say, the dream has finally come true. Thanks to modern technologies, very small powerful jet engines, light-weight, extremely strong carbon fiber building materials and EV, and all electric ground driving mode system; we now have success. For the first time in aviation history, we have a two place sports car that has the very best of all these new technologies available. Now the dream can be your dream.

I see a future where Freeway’s will have take-off and landing lanes for flying cars. The days of being stuck in traffic will come to an end. We will all be able to live out of the cities, in nice pollution free areas, where the air is clean, and our kids can play outside without the fear of being run over by an eighteen wheeler.

This dream started back in the 1950’s when I was just a kid, and my Dad was an aeronautical engineer at Northrop in the wing division. He told me that the lifting power of the new wing designs would lend themselves to building a flying car with a very short wingspan within road limitations of 102″ inch’s or 8′ foot 5″ inch’s, but it still couldn’t fly with the 1950’s engine technologies. He also told me that there would be engines in the future that would be perfect for this project. The jet engines we use for the “Canard SXT” only weigh 40 LBS each, putting out 250 LBS of thrust. That means, there is 500 LBS of thrust pushing this little sports car down the road and through the skies.

The EV, all electric drive mode, is also the latest technologies. Light-weight batteries and motor drive system that makes this all possible. We have the very first drive or fly sports car in the world. You can be going down the Freeway at 70 MPH, light up the jet engines and fly. You don’t have to stop and change anything or fold up your wings. Now how fun is that?

The starting price of $280,000.00 for the “Canard SXT” is of course, much higher than we like, but we have already found new ways to bring that price down. If Henry Ford could do it, so can we. I would like to see a lot of these beautiful machines going down the freeways and in the skies. I have a friend who said he would like to have one, but he didn’t have a pilots license. I told him that he didnt have to fly; he could just drive. It only takes five minutes to take the wing off. You can drive around town with or without it. Actually, the car looks pretty cool with the wing off.

We also have a slow flight wing for having fun and learning to fly and a high speed racing wing which is also great for flying cross country at high speeds. You and a friend can take one wing off and put the other wing on in about 10 minutes. I stay up late at night dreaming this stuff up.

We will have our own flight school; making it more convenient for you to receive your pilots license. It’s much easier than you think. Most people solo; fly by yourself the first time in about 10 hours. It takes an additional 35 to 40 hours to get your private license. When you have your private license, you can take your friends for a ride. It only takes 200 hours to obtain a commercial pilots license, now you can make money.

Oh, and it takes longer to learn how to use an I-Phone than it does to learn how to fly an airplane. Yesterday, while getting my hair cut, I asked the stylist how many hours he had to go to beauty school. He replied, 1,700 hours to get his license. I told him that it only took me 200 hours to get my commercial pilots license, and I was making money. He replied, “WOW!”

It’s really easy to get your pilots license and become a real pilot. Its great fun learning how to zoom through the sky. When I lived in Santa Ana California, I use to fly my two place airplane over to Catalina Island for Sunday brunch, the pancakes were really delicious. At times, there were as many as fifty to a hundred planes flying in. It was great fun. If you are a pilot, there is fly-ins every weekend all over our country. There is also the Baja Mexico Flying Club. A group of pilots who get together and fly down to spend the weekend on Mexicos sunny beaches and hang out in the beautiful palm filled resorts.

Having your very own “Canard SXT” will be a new adventure in every area of your life. Once you fly your own sports car, you will never go back to just being a land lover. The sky is safe, fun, and a new adventure is waiting around every corner. Don’t miss the best that life has to offer, the New Fun “Canard SXT”. Be the first to own a flying sports car, it can be your very own time machine!
