Choosing the right insurance coverage for your car can be overwhelming, particularly because of the many coverage options available today. Some covers are optional, others are legal requirements, but they all cover an important part of auto insurance.

That cover is known as the comprehensive auto insurance.

First of all, you need to know what a transmission system is in your vehicle. Transmission, also known as the drivetrain, is a set of components in your vehicle that are responsible for transmitting power from the engine or the motor to the wheels. Thus, the name: Transmission. Without proper transmission or if your transmission is not working properly, your vehicle would start to malfunction. Your vehicle might be working fine and generating lot of power, but with a faulty transmission, the power generated by the engine would never reach the wheels, and you will not get anywhere.

When you get a used car, it can take a while for you to feel like it truly belongs to you. Sure, you might own it, but feeling comfortable in a car takes time, especially when it was previously owned by someone else.

According to Wikipedia, as of 2006, more than half of SUVs sold in the United States of America have been of the “crossover” variety. A crossover SUV, also sometimes referred to as simply a “crossover” or occasionally shortened to a “CUV,” is typically a cross between a sedan and a truck-based sport utility vehicle, or SUV. Most often, crossover SUVs are modeled after the body type of a truck-based SUV with the chassis or unibody construction of a sedan. This design generally makes for a significantly more comfortable interior when compared to their truck-based SUV counterparts, however crossovers are known to have less off road capabilities and in many cases are not manufactured with an option for all wheel drive.

Okay folks, I write a "Dear Abby" for cars in my local newspaper, The Lake Worth Herald. I have been doing it weekly for about fifteen years, so I will take a stab at doing it here. I can do this because I am ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified in five repair categories and I own an independent tire and auto repair shop, Car Clinic, in West Palm Beach Florida.

Whether you are driving an old clunker or a brand new car, chances are that you would like to change a few things around.

You could have any number of reasons for wanting certain car modifications to be carried out, but check out some of the important ones that you may want to consider getting done, in the near future.

Like most rideshare drivers, I don't use rideshare as my primary source of income (other than a brief stint between jobs), but rather as a supplement. It gets me out of the house, earns a (very little) bit of money, introduces me to new people, and helps me explore my city and larger area.

With the rising cost of gasoline, more people than ever are turning to vehicles that use alternative sources of fuel. The advanced technology and improved efficiency of electric batteries have occurred at just the right time. Many feel that there has never been a better time than the present to look into buying an electric vehicle.

One morning over hot coffee, I hopped on the VW website to look at the Golf Alltrack. My parents suggested it because it would be perfect for transporting two big dogs. It would also be great for Canadian winters. On the home page of the VW site at the time was a giant banner showing an e-Golf. It was a complete surprise that VW is selling an all-electric car. I clicked on the link and fell in love. One thing led to another. Within a couple of weeks, we test drove one at the Guelph VW dealership and ordered mine the same day.

Ride-share services have become quite the norm. People would much rather call an Uber or Lyft driver than an old fashioned taxi. However, Uber specifically does not do a background check on their employees or meet them for an interview prior to hiring them (currently). The requirements Uber drivers need to meet are not steep, and most people with a car that was made in the last decade can apply and expect to be hired. But how safe really are these ride-share services? You decide.

The benefit of purchasing a fresh new vehicle is you buy a vehicle that usually comes with a certainty. In the first few years, most fresh vehicles will have very few renovations, so you can only concentrate on vehicle servicing. The retailer may also give reduced interest rate funding, which may lower the quantity of interest you receive over the loan's lifetime. These are the most fundamental benefits. Another benefit is that the new vehicles will be equipped with the recent technology, meaning you can discover vehicles with further gas mileage and reduced emissions.

So, back in the eighties, a contractor I knew bought a truck from the auction. He did a lot of driving in remote areas, loved his newer model truck, took good care of it, and it never gave him any problems. He had a small crew; guys came and went, but at a certain point, he ran into financial difficulties and had to lay a couple guys off. He had trouble making payroll. Eventually, he got back on track and his business expanded.

Working at the DMV as a Licensing Registration Examiner (which is a fancy way of saying ‘drive test examiner’) had been quite the experience for me all those years ago. From 1988 to 1998, I was the guy behind the clipboard, facing several distressed drivers a day. I have failed, passed, restricted, and revoked my share of drivers during those years and was never surprised by the reactions to those going through such a strenuous procedure.

When we think of sports, rarely do we bring up sports that require vehicles as the main tool. In fact, most of us only think of the so-called "Big Four" sports that include the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL. However, the reality of the situation is that there are far more sports that require amazing vehicles as the main attraction.

When it comes to a plethora of various car services, one thing is for sure. And that is the fact that as far as scams are concerned, there are many services out there who have honed the fine art of taking people for a ride for several years on end.

Round 8 of 21, it was another Formula 1 Grand Prix filled with small action. Right from the beginning, Hamilton had a very good start and managed to stay in front of the field. His teammate, on the other hand, did not have the same pace Hamilton had. With the Ferrari’s starting 3rd and 7th place, respectively, they only managed to get 3rd (Charles Leclerc) and 5th (Sebastian Vettel) on the grid. Some last lap drama included Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris.

It would appear that NASCAR has a problem. Last weekend was the annual spring race at Bristol Motor Speedway, in Tennessee. Like many others, I was at home watching the race, but I was dismayed to see so many empty grandstand seats at a track that used to sell out for every race. And we aren't talking just a few seats. At both ends of the track, the grandstands were closed off. There was no one sitting in those areas. Even along the straight stretches, there were a lot of noticeable gaps. No one seems to know exactly how many people were there, as Forbes reports.

Driving a luxury car is a dream for many. But the glory that comes while sitting in the backseat as the driver takes you to your destination is on a different level.

All good things must come to an end. That includes the last of some cars. On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, the last Volkswagen Beetle came off the assembly line in Puebla, Mexico. Never again will that particular car be made. The recognizable classic car has been around for the last 81 years. Plenty of the classic cars used to be seen often on the highways. Now they are rarely seen. Sales declined from 46,000 in 2013 to just 15,166 last year, according to Autodata Corp.

This classic car show was held on the lawns of Christchurch Quay, Christchurch in Southern England. The number of visitors was not known, as entry to the show was free.

The only qualification for displaying at this show was any vehicle that was manufactured before 31st July 1983.
