It was announced this week that the Royal College of Physicians in Britain is urging lawmakers to pass a ban on smoking in cars, citing the dangers of second hand smoke to passengers. And they're not just talking about the risk of developing cancer, but the effects of smoke that lead to respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma attacks and even SIDS in babies. All of these preventable effects put more financial strain on an already taxed health care system.
According to the dealership where we purchased our new (to us) car, it is getting more and more difficult for dealers to buy up used cars at auto auctions. With our economy being in the state that it is more and more people are driving their cars until the wheels fall off, and less and less people are leasing and buying new vehicles. So there are less cars to be auctioned off.
A short musing on why I think the We Buy Any Car advert is fantastic and there marketing director can happily ignore anyone who doesn't think it's up to much
We went out to the car this morning, well almost noon and there on the back panel close to the window was a small swastika. It measures about 2.5 inches overall. But it made me catch my breath, it's impact is huge.
My partner loves cars. He has had 65 cars since he was fifteen and he is still buying and selling them. We have a beautiful rough and tumble vintage truck and our daily drivers, and then there is that very special car for special trips.
I ended up at a local cruise parade and loved it. I never would have gone if not for Ken. If you are a color, shape, logo, people junkie like me, you would have loved it,too. It was eye candy. So I may not know the make or the model, but I love the cars and I love a parade.

Oil is a slippery business, literally. But don’t let it slip you up on your path to going green. Although it’s not something most people have to think about every day, motor oil is a fact of life for the 240 million car owners in the U.S. Not to mention boats, lawnmowers, R.V.s and motorcycles. When it comes to purchasing and discarding motor oil, let’s take responsibility and learn how to make it green!
When it comes to learning early in life it is all about play. Getting down on the floor and engaging with your kids in that play can lead to some really great organic teaching moments and we had a moment just like that. We gathered all the little cars and sorted them by color. Then we counted to ten using the cars. 1 Grey car, 2 purple, and on and on until we got to 11. Cause our amps go to 11!
It doesn't seem to matter whether you choose the Rapiscan radioactive see-you-naked photo op, or opt for the personal touch with a full-body fondling that has been specially designed to intimately search every type of physique ...
...Whatever screening option you choose (and some lucky passengers may even get to have both), you'll be able to board that airplane with a false sense of security, and of course, the "T.S.A. Approved" inspection stamp conspicuously branded on your hindquarters.
I realise that by actually being on the road I take my life into my hands on a daily basis but I also put it in the hands of everyone else on the road as they do with theirs.
A major reason for Israel's chronic road accident record must be the transport authority's utterly perverse teaching and testing policies. The rules of the road are often the reverse of those throughout Europe and the U.S. Moreover, I've met recent immigrants with a lifetime's driving experience, clean licences and maximum no-claims insurance bonuses in their native countries who seem to have been failed quite unfairly when they take their driving test. Why?
My blog is about being a learner driver, and all the ups and downs that come with it. I've already had my first three hours, driven on the road, attempted a roundabout and sacked my driving instructor. So keep reading to see how I get on and what other problems that I may face...
Follow my musings about painting in an old farm house in New York, being single and living with a teenager, working for a living, driving a Subaru and social networking.
In stunning large-format photographs, Edward Burtynsky follows the path of oil through modern society, from wellhead to pipeline to car engine — and then beyond to the projected peak-oil endgame.
If you don't trust someone else changing your oil in your car, then read this article so you can get a picture of how to do it yourself. This article can be used for many other cars too, but it is mainly written for a Subaru Forester 2003. It explains how to change oil in this car and an oil filter. After you are done it will make you feel better about yourself too :)
The smell of petrol likes to lots of people, there is something that gives its distinctive odour that some of us love. However, don’t spend too much time sniffing petrol since it is highly toxic. It is composed of benzene, ethylbenzene, xylene, toluene and other hydrocarbons. All those chemicals are hazardous for your health. Intoxicating yourself through the inhalation of petrol can cause severe physical, cognitive, and psychological impairment, particularly due to the role it plays in the selective degeneration of deep white matter and cerebellar structures.
www.petrolsmell.com wants to be a technical but at the same time interesting automotive blog. We will not be covering the news in the automotive world, there are plenty of other bloggers who do that. Our challenge is to learn, yes LEARN.
Why Rear-Face Longer? As you might have noticed, Facebook has been a bit bombarded by crazy people talking about how babies should stay rear-facing until at least age 2 (gasp! the nerve! the horror! how dare they!).
Why are the crazy people doing this? Why am I crazy? Why is my nearly 14-month old still backwards in her carseat? Won't she break her legs?
