Would You Pay a Monthly Subscription To Wash Your Car?
Car washes are in!
Car washes look much different today than they did 20 years ago when mostly teenagers would post up on corners with big signs looking for customers to fund a school trip.
Now, the car wash business is big business.
A car wash can cost anywhere from $3 to $20, depending on whether it’s a do-it-yourself wash or an automatic wash. Full-service washes range from $20 to $50 and detailing could range into the hundreds of dollars.
Do you like to get your car washed every week? If so, then a subscription may make sense to you.
If it were $10 per car wash without a subscription and $20 a month for unlimited washes with a subscription, you’d have to go to the car wash at least three times a month for a subscription to be worth it. If you only go to the car wash twice a month, a subscription would be unnecessary.

Do You Love To Drive?
Every day millions of people enter a mechanical contraption, enter a huge grid of roads in order to get from point A to point B.
Driving is more than the means to get you places. It makes you feel an explorer – it exposes you to what lies beyond the vehicle itself and brings you thrills that you are able to find all of that.
Driving gives your a special vibe – it makes it dynamic which is human nature, and hence it is thanks to driving that you feel part of nature, part of the world.
When you are driving, you are in control of the world ahead of you. You decide what matters, you decide where to pause. What can be better than this calm yet enriching experience?

Daylight Savings Time Is Almost Here
Daylight Saving Time is upon us once again, and with it comes the ritual of adjusting clocks, includig your car.
While most newer models adjust their clocks automatically, some models may still require manual intervention.
Are you tackling this task yourself? If your car, SUV, or Truck doesn't adjust the clock automatically, consult your owner's manual for specific instructions. These typically involve navigating through the car's menu system and finding the clock settings. Double-check the time: Before heading out, take a moment to confirm both your car clock and your phone or watch are displaying the correct time.
Enjoy the extra sunlight: Take advantage of the additional daylight hour by going for a drive, enjoying an outdoor activity, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.

What Day Do You Get Gas?
Are you filling up on the Wrong Day?
You should try to fill up your tank when it drops below half-full for optimal fuel efficiency.
Driving around with an almost empty tank makes the remaining gas evaporate more quickly.
The gas light is a warning system triggered when the remaining fuel in your tank falls below a certain level.
If you fill your gas tank only on payday, you could be throwing money away.
Monday is the best day to buy gas because it costs less. The most expensive day of the week to fill up? Thursday.

Travel If You Have To
In extreme cold, you shouldn’t travel unless it’s absolutely necessary. Staying inside will reduce the chance of getting frostbite or risking uncertain road conditions. If you do need to leave the house, be sure to brush up on best practices for winter driving safety. Make sure you have a flashlight with fresh batteries and a full tank of gas. Carry extra blankets, clothes and an car emergency kit with food and water in case you get stuck or stranded.
Winter driving definietly has its challenges and calls for quick decision making, patience and a little bit of know-how.
Here are a few common mistakes of winter drivers :
Tailgating
Speeding
Getting stuck
Ice on the windshield
Snow on the roof
Driving with high beams on
Just like other people's driving, winter weather can be unpredictable. Even the safest, most experienced drivers can get into an accident. It’s always aggravating when other drivers put you at risk. Getting stuck behind a driver who is spinning their tires or not paying attention isn’t just annoying… it’s dangerous.

What Are You Doing For Presidents Day?
Presidents Day car specials may seem like a recent idea, but they actually date back more than a century.
Long ago, on gloomy February days with the roads a mess, car salespeople would chain-smoke and complain how few customers came into their showrooms during the coldest, shortest month of the year. But they knew the year's first holiday weekend would drum up business when there wasn't any. Their plan: plaster the airwaves and newspapers with car specials exclusively on Presidents Day weekend. They started pasting George Washington's face next to cars and handed out balloons.
While many taxpayers are still looking at filing in far-off April, those with straightforward returns who file early can get their refunds back around—you guessed it—Presidents' Day. Consumers don't have an IRS check in hand yet, are already anticipating its arrival. A tax refund makes for a good down payment on a car, crossover, or truck, particularly when combined with a trade-in.
What will you be doing on Presidents Day?

Are You Ready For Super Bowl Sunday
Chiefs or Eagles?
Is type of car you drive related to your favorite football team? If the car uses a lot of steel, maybe you like the Pittsburg Steelers. If your favorite color is brown you may follow the Cleveland Browns.
Some people choose a football team based on where they live, their alma mater, or the team their parents support. Others might choose a team based on the team's colors or even the mascot.
