Car dealer auctions are increasing in popularity every day. They are a great way for people to find a wide variety of cars at a much lower price then what you would pay from a private party or from the marked up dealership. Many times car dealerships will auction off cars that are already on their lot to make room for more cars coming in. This makes a win situation for both the dealership and the buyer. The only problem is that most people do not know where these auctions are held and how to attend. We will discuss how you can find a dealer auction in your area below.

Car dealer auctions are not hard to find if you have the right resources. The money you can save on a vehicle at a dealer auction is well worth the time finding the auctions. Cars and trucks are often sold below wholesale value to the general public. Most auctions are not publicly advertised, but are sometimes listed in your local newspaper. They are usually listed last minute, so it is best to check the local classifieds often. The end of the year and before holidays is usually the best times to check. It is never a good idea to ask dealerships directly because for obvious reasons they try to keep this private from the general public.

One of the easiest and best ways to find car dealer auctions is to check online. Often times the auctions are listed on websites so you can buy or bid directly on their auction website. If you prefer to attend the local auction, you can also browse through the cars that will be listed at the auction so you can get an idea on what will be available and what you may be interested in.

Like a young child who has found a new fun plaything, this article about classic car parts will present a whole new world of awe and wonder for you. A few years ago, a buddy of mine asked me to come over and help him restore a 1967 Mustang Fastback that his father willed to him. I’d never really worked on cars before, but after spending months on that Mustang, I was hooked. My friend taught me a lot about the process of restoring vintage automobiles, and now this is what I spend most of my free time doing. In fact, I’ve already sold two of my completed projects for a nice profit, which has got me thinking that perhaps I can turn this hobby into a full-blown business. In order to make a business like this work, however, I’d have to find some good sources of classic car parts. Specifically, I’m looking for shops or dealerships that stock a large enough inventory of products that I can be relatively certain that I’ll be able to find what I need no matter what kind of vehicle I’m working on. In addition to carrying a wide selection of classic car parts for all makes and models, I’d want these retailers to be able to offer competitive pricing. Having to buy things like brake discs, clutch kits, water pumps, oil filters, headers, and quarter panels is by far the greatest expense involved in automobile restoration. Since I’d be buying these things on a pretty regular basis and would be a loyal customer, I’d need my classic car parts dealer to have the lowest prices around.

We hope that the first part of this article as brought you a lot of much needed information on the subject at hand. For my previous projects, I had to drive more than 75 miles to find the classic car parts I needed to get the jobs done. That’s not exactly a convenient distance, and it wouldn’t be reasonable to make those trips over and over again. That’s why I’m now leaning towards purchasing all of my classic car parts online instead. By doing this, I could have everything delivered right to my door within a week, or I could even have pay for overnight shipping in the event of emergencies. I’d then be able to spend my time actually working on the vehicles instead of driving back and forth between stores. It would also be easier to find classic car parts online because location wouldn’t be a factor at all. I could order from shops as far away as southern California or northern Maine, and I’d have access to a lot more inventory as well. Plus, I know that online retailers always offer the lowest possible prices, which would of course be great from a business standpoint. Once I become reasonably familiar with some of these online classic car parts stores, I’ll be able to make a better decision one way or the other, but for now I think I’ve talked myself into taking the plunge and opening up my own restoration shop! When we start to bring to sum up this information about classic car parts, it begins to form the main thought.

For most people, owning their first car is a rite of passage, an act that entails responsibility and a mature approach to life; it’s much like holding that driver’s license for the first time. Owning a car for the first time is a major milestone for anyone, especially for teenagers. Even if they get a used car with faded dashboard covers or a dilapidated pickup truck with missing floor mats, the vehicle will still be a special something that will be remembered for decades.

It is only proper then that relatives and friends of first-time drivers should hand out advice and car accessories to bolster the enthusiasm of fledgling drivers. Accessories would give any ride a heightened degree of glamour and sophistication to that first car — regardless of whether it’s a pre-owned truck or a sleek sports car.

While a traditional air freshener to hang on the rearview mirror is always the staple gift for first-time car owners, giving them custom seat covers is a guaranteed surprise. Complementing such presents with a nice set of specialized floor mats will neatly add to the trick. Gifts like these would be more than appreciated especially if the car is an old or pre-owned vehicle.

For those that came out from the showroom, the stock dashboard covers should be fine; there’s no need to replace them for at least two years. Custom seat covers for the car owner work best if they are detailed to the exact requirements of the one who will be using the car most. Asking the car owner subtle questions on how he wants his car’s interiors to look is a good way to fish for hints.

For those who aren’t quite sure what to get, giving the car owner vouchers or discount coupons from carwash establishments are great options. They are also some of the most useful gifts one can give to a new car owner. Buying first-time car owners some carwash kits (sponges, washcloths, tire shampoos, etc.) or a book on how to use a hydraulic jack and replace a flat wheel are also viable ideas.

Not all car owners know much about a car’s engine and how to make it start when it bogs down, so a book on jumpstarting a car is also an excellent gift. For those who are very superstitious, placing some statuettes of saints and other divine figures on the dashboard are good options as well.

For those who can afford expensive accessories, getting a car “pimped” with customized body paint or rigging it with powerful speakers can be arranged. Other, somewhat pricier accessories one can get a first-time car owner are customized racing seats, engine upgrades, or a cool set of tires. They are substantially more expensive than most accessories though — so much that most people would rather install those accessories to their own cars rather than fitting them to someone else’s.

All in all, people can buy first-time car owners a lot of stuff, ranging from the practical ones to the luxury additions and options. The only thing that matters is making sure that the gifts would blend right in. Knowing the year and the model can go along, so it’s always best to know what the car’s make is before cashing out.

We have heard it on the news or have heard others talking about how car accidents occur due to the driver sending text messages or playing with the gadgets in their car. Drivers have never had so many distractions tempting them to take their eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel than with today’s vehicles, which are likened to living rooms on the road with everything from high-end stereo systems, televisions and DVD players.

How distracting are all of our car gadgets? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 80 percent of vehicle crashes and 65 percent of close calls are caused in part by driver distraction.

A study, conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and released in 2006, found that “secondary task distraction” was a central factor in auto accidents. The biggest culprit was hand-held wireless devices, along with the act of dialing phone numbers or sending text messages.

And even with all the advancements in vehicle safety technology, the number of people killed in auto accidents continues to rise. Close to 1.2 million people die each year on the world’s roads, and that number is expected to rise by 65 percent by the year 2020, says a report by WHO and the World Bank.

Distraction isn’t the only problem causing car accidents, although it can account or some o the highest incidents. Here are the six major reasons or auto accidents:

1. Distracted Drivers
• Rubbernecking
• Driver fatigue (12 percent, see below)
• Looking at scenery (10 percent)
• Other passengers or children (9 percent)
• Adjusting the radio, cassette or CD player (7 percent)
• Reading the newspaper, books, maps or other documents (less than 2 percent)

2. Driver Fatigue

Drowsy drivers account for about 100,000 accidents every year in the United States, according to the U.S. National Traffic Safety Administration. The risk is greatest from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m., the time when most people are used to sleeping, however some people also become drowsy from noon to 2 p.m.

Symptoms of driver fatigue include heavy eyelids, frequent yawning, a drifting vehicle that wanders over road lines, varying vehicle speed for no reason, misjudging traffic situations, seeing things “jump out” in the road, feeling fidgety or irritable and daydreaming.

3. Drunk Driving

In 2004, an estimated 16,654 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes, according to NHTSA. This is an average of one death almost every half-hour. Drunk drivers were responsible for 30 percent of all fatal crashes during the week in 2003, but this percentage rose significantly over the weekends, during which 53 percent of fatal crashes were alcohol-related.

The only way to prevent this type of accident is to not drink and drive. Whenever alcohol is involved, choose a designated driver in advance. This person should not drink at all before driving.

4. Speeding

Speeding is a multi-tiered threat because not only does it reduce the amount of time necessary to avoid a crash, it also increases the risk of crashing and makes the crash more severe if it does occur. In fact, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), when speed increases from 40 mph to 60 mph, the energy released in a crash more than doubles. Simply slowing down and obeying posted speed limits can go a long way toward making the roads safer.

When traffic gets heavy, resist the urge to succumb to aggressive driving.

5. Aggressive Driving

Exactly what is an aggressive driver? Anyone who does the following:

• Aggressive tailgating
• Flashing lights at other drivers because you’re irritated at them
• Aggressive or rude gestures
• Deliberately preventing another driver from moving their vehicle
• Verbal abuse
• Physical assaults
• Disregarding traffic signals
• Changing lanes frequently or in an unsafe manner
• Failure to yield the right of way

If the situation is serious, you may call 911 to report an aggressive driver

6. Weather

Inclement weather, including heavy rain, hail, snowstorms, ice, high winds and fog can make driving more difficult. You’ll need more time to stop and may have trouble seeing the road clearly, so when the weather gets bad be sure to leave extra room between the car in front of you and slow down. If necessary, pull off the road to a rest stop (or to the side of the road, well out of the traffic lanes) until conditions improve.

By heeding the above and keeping your eyes on the road, you will lesson the likelihood of being in an accident. Save your television watching and cell phone texting for when you are the passenger.

Fuel is a precious commodity and if we do not learn how to conserve we can look forward to a future when fuel supplies run out.

Fuel is a precious commodity and if we do not learn how to conserve we can look forward to a future when fuel supplies run out. As a caring eco-friendly citizen it is important for you to save fuel and learn how to use your vehicle efficiently and reduce the amount of gas you use.

1. Learn how to drive efficiently by avoiding sudden acceleration or braking and aggressive driving. According to stats you can save as much as 33% on freeways and 5% in urban environments on gas by adopting safe driving practices; this in figures means USD 0.12-0.76 per gallon in savings.

2. Always observe the set speed limits. And find out what the optimal fuel economy for your vehicle is. The general consensus is that for every 5mph over 60mph just means spending more of fuel, almost USD 0.20 per gallon.

3. Never resort to using your vehicle as a dumpster or storage space. Imagine an extra 100 pounds in your car will reduce your MPG by over 2%. So, get rid of the junk or store it elsewhere.

4. Idling that is running the engine when stand still wastes fuel. So, think twice before leaving the engine running while you dash into a nearby store.

5. Use cruise control when driving on a freeway. It saves gas and helps the car run at a steady speed.

6. Learn all about overdrive gearing this is an established way to save fuel.

7. Always ensure that the car is well tuned and passes emission tests. This will improve its fuel efficacy by almost 4%. So ship and shape benefits you as the car will last longer and you will save on fuel.

8. Ensure smooth functioning by replacing oil filters regularly and checking the air tube pressure. Cleaning and replacing oil filters will improve fuel efficacy by 10% while gas mileage improves by 3.3 % when the tires are properly inflated.

9. Follow recommendations given by the car manufacturers as far as servicing and replacement of parts is concerned. This will improve the running efficacy of the car.

10. Most of all plan your day so that you don’t make multiple trips in the same direction and waste fuel. Keep a note pad and jot down all errands that need to be done and plan a trip that will cover all bases and save running time as well as fuel.

Other ways in which you can contribute to the fuel economy are by car pooling, taking public transport where it is available, and keeping yourself updated on news releases focusing on fuel saving strategies. When you plan to buy a new car think of investing in a fuel efficient vehicle, in depth information on cars can be read at www.fueleconomy.gov .

How does one define a car in terms of popularity? Almost everyone has different standards on the matter. Some like their cars to remain with their stock color and accessories such as steering wheels, dash board covers, and floor mats and still be popular. On the other hand, cars that have been modified and have been fitted with custom seat covers, mufflers, and bright headlights also rake in a lot of popularity points.

For this year, here are the 10 most popular cars in terms of web visits and not the actual number of registered owners:

1. Chevrolet Corvette – a high-performance sports car, boasting of a 430-horsepower V8 and impressive fuel efficient mechanism. The Chevrolet Corvette consumes 16 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon while on the highway. The interior details of the 2008 Chevy Corvette need no customization of its car seat covers, dashboard, and the likes. A total break from its predecessors’ interiors, the insides of this car is just magnificent.

2. Ford Mustang – the Mustang remains to be one of the most popular cars from the long line of Ford models, offering a diversity of performance options: 2 body-styles, 4 trims, 2 engines, 2 transmissions and a wide list of additional features. Though the stock accessories are already pristine as they are, using customized interior details such as floor mats won’t hurt.

3. Dodge Challenger – returning from 35-year absence from the road, the classic muscle car that is the 2008 Dodge Challenger is boosted by a 6.1-liter V8 engine pumping 425 horses. The Dodge Challenger also prides itself with Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation, and Keyless starting capability.

4. BMW M3 – running for the first time on a 414 HP/ V8 engine, this car comes in sedan, coupe, and convertible types. The car also comes in different stock colors. Speaking of colors, one can mix and match with its posh interiors, starting with the dashboard and car seat covers. The transmission is also a thing of beauty, one can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission, or a new 7-speed M Double-Clutch transmission with Drivelogic.

5. Porsche 911 – with a horse power numbering to 480 and a sleek exterior design and metallic finish, who would not want to be behind this car’s steering wheel? A true stunner, the Porsche 911 can burst to 60 mph in a matter of 3.7 seconds. Speaking of metallic finish, one can tweak the seats and sport a set of metallic custom seat covers.

6. Mitsubishi Eclipse – the sporty coupe from Mitsubishi, the Eclipse has evolved from its predecessors in terms of style and shape. This car blitzes on a 3.8-liter V6 that creates 265 horsepower to drive the front wheels.

7. Lamborghini Gallardo – a two-seater on a V10 engine, this model is Lamborghini’s best-selling model. What makes this car so desirable? It possesses an impressive 560 horsepower.

8. Nissan 350Z – launched in 2003 but was not remodeled since then, the Z car from Nissan is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 306-horsepower. The Nissan 350Z comes in coupe or convertible.

9. Mazda MX-5 Miata – a further advancement from its 1989 forefather, the 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata boasts of quick steering, easy handling, and a sporty physique. Now available in the convertible type, no doubt this model will sell like pancakes.

10. Nissan GT-R – running on 480 horsepower, the Nissan GT-R is an all-wheel drive coupe that can perform exceptionally well on almost all types of surface. With a top speed of 200 mph, yet meeting ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV) standards, this car is truly one for the environment. Another thing, the Nissan GT-R can achieve 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
