Chrome Truck Accessories Are Great Investment

September 2nd, 2008

Chrome truck accessories are a fun and fabulous way to add some character and charm to a vehicle. A truck is the owner’s work horse. It is relied upon day in and day out for tough duties. That does not mean that the truck can’t be made to be a personal statement. The question is, what type of statement do you want to make? For some people, adding chrome detailing or some other aspects can really finish the look and make the truck a unique look. It is definitely worth investing in these accessories.

Chrome door handles are a good example of a good investment in truck accessories. It is recommended that you take some time to learn how to take care of chrome on your vehicle. Doing so will keep the value of these vehicles high and it will give you that great look for years to come.

What else can you add to your truck to make it personalized? You may be after a truck rack, which makes sense for many people depending on how they use the truck. In addition, you may want to look for truck bed covers, which provide you with plenty of function and a great added value.

Dude, Where do I Plug in my Car?

July 23rd, 2008

Today, the Chicago Tribune undauntedly asks, “Where would we plug in electric cars?” That’s a great question prompted by the Chevrolet Volt scheduled for release in 2010. Consumers are ready to move on from high gas prices and into an era of new-age transportation, but rarely do we think of how it would change the way we live and drive. Not every home has a garage with an outlet readily available. People living in apartments and condominiums would have an even greater challenge on their hands.

The article suggests parking spaces of the future will be outfitted with metered recharging stations and that businesses and offices may provide stations for their employees or visitors to charge their vehicles. General Motors seems to be going in the right direction by posing the same question to the Electric Power Research Institute to ensure that when their car drives off the lot, there’s an electrical backbone in place to support it.

Rims and Paint Make Old Car Like New

May 30th, 2008

I have been getting into fixing up old cars lately. I love the way I feel when I get an old hunk of junk to run, even if it’s just for a few minutes. But the part that I like the best after it’s running fine and it’s time to work on the exterior.

I can’t decide between rims 20 inch or 26 rim for the car I’m working on now. I guess I have some time because she isn’t even painted yet. I think I’m going to paint her a deep red and give her black interior upholstery.
