Our Technique: “5 clicks before lane change”
Can you plan a lane change well before 5 complete clicks of your turn signal?
Anticipate long before you need to manuever.
Making others aware of your intentions long before your maneuver.
Hyundai Sonata wins Family Sedan Shootout
The gorgeous 2011 Hyundai Sonata - $19,195 to start and 28 mpgUS combined on the 08 EPA.
Hyundai’s all-new 2011 Sonata topped a field of eight popular midsize sedans to win the “$25,000 Family Sedan Shootout.”
The analysis consisted of six automotive journalists, a family of four and three days to determine: What’s the best family sedan you can buy for $25,000 or less?
According to GE, LED Light Done Right
GE’s upcoming LED - 40W of standard incandescent output with just 9W consumed. Bests the CFL by 1W for a similar output. $40 to $50 however…GE’s new LED bulb produces 450 lumens (the LED Energy Star® threshold to be considered a 40-watt incandescent replacement effective August 31, 2010), provides 77 percent energy savings and lasts more than 25 times as long as a standard incandescent bulb.
The 2011 Cruze is filled with GM “good ideas”!
Simple to change and far easier to recycle. A drop-in cartridge oil filter.
Who here has not been under the car and had oil all over their arms (after the oil is drained of course ) when removing a std. steel can type filter? No more with the upcoming Cruze.
