How to Have your Sexy Car
This is their way of luring women into their arms. A car doesn't only have to be expensive, it also has to be stylish and appear sensual. Indeed, a sexy car can bring a man stellar results as far as dating is concerned.
Women have several weapons of seduction, namely their hair that shines and teases, makeup that highlights facial assets and hides facial flaws, short skirts and dresses, high heels that make legs appear longer and slender, and lingerie that accentuates all the right curves. Men, on the other hand, have less than colorful options. Women look past the visuals and usually fall for men with sense of humor, wit, and intelligence. However, to make a great impression on women, men can sport a lean physique, a charming smile, and a sexy car.
A car cannot be sexy if its driver does not feel sexy. Thus, the first thing you have to do to woo a woman properly with a sexy car is to feel good about yourself. In order to feel good about yourself, you have to make sure you look good on the outside. Studies have shown that when a person knows he looks good, this knowledge is channeled into an overall positive outlook, particularly when dating is concerned. It will prompt you to walk the walk and talk the talk so that you can charm your lady love. Indeed, a little confidence in yourself goes a long way.
A sexy car has to be just right in order to give off the right impression. It must not be overly done or too loud in appearance. There are many car or auto businesses that offer services for making cars sexy. For example, there are businesses that customize car upholstery. You can have yours done for a tastefully seductive finish. Leather seats always get women talking so you're sure to earn quite a reputation with their posses if you opt for leather seats. Moreover, leather seats bring to mind hot, wild scenes from romantic movies, which might just give your and your woman timely inspiration. Black or read seats will evoke fieriness and passion, whereas white seats will provide a feeling of immaculateness and purity. Either way, you're sure to pique your woman's imagination.
Another way to help you fully utilize a sexy car's ability to score you some points with woman is to treat it to a great set of accessories. There are several websites that sell car accessories, and you can easily find one that has accessories to match your desired sexy theme. You can ask for opinion as to what accessories work best if you're not too knowledgeable about them.

Do You Need A Battery Tester for Your Automotive Battery?
Battery care and maintenance in many cases is forgotten until the battery fails to start your car. It only takes a small amount of care and maintenance to prevent the battery from failing you when you need it the most. Cold weather is the worst time to have a dead battery, but then cold weather is the hardest on your battery. By performing regular care and maintenance on your battery year round you should be able to catch those batteries before cold weather sets in and the before the battery leaves you stranded in four feet of snow and ice.
Testing and taking care of the maintenance on your battery only requires a little bit of time and a small amount of tools. If you only perform the maintenance and care your battery needs once a year, make that once a year in the fall. Fall is a great time of year to putter around outside, so you might as well putter around with the battery in your vehicle.
It is always recommended before you do anything with your battery to wear eye protection and keep open flames away from the battery. This means no smoking. Batteries produce a hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable and because batteries contain sulfuric acid, you want to do what you can to protect your eyes from sulfuric acid getting in them. If you get sulfuric acid on your skin, mix baking soda and water and apply to the area. This will neutralize the acid and prevent additional damage or burns to your skin.
You will want to inspect the battery for any obvious problems. A broken alternator belt, a dirty or wet battery, corroded or swollen cables, corroded terminals, or a leaking or damaged battery case could cause your battery to fail. Clean, repair or replace any of the items listed. Distilled water should be used replenish the water level of the battery.
Battery testing doesn’t have to be so hard, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to find out whether or not you have a good battery. You do need to make sure your battery is performing, as it should, so you don’t get stuck when you need it the most. There are so many testers on the market and so many different types of testing methods, sometimes it can get quite confusing. Always use a proven method of testing.

The Motoring Scene
To begin with, the price of fuel has gone sky high! But then I'm sure you will have noticed that with so many factors at play in the recent rocket ship ride of oil prices, far be it for me to offer any more sage analysis than what you may already have heard:
1. That the conflict in Iraq has contributed to OPEC price instability.
2. That the recent hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico have played havoc with US and international petroleum production and refinement in the region.
3. A general recognition that energy consumption practices must be seriously altered.
4. That, as Harry Potter seems to be everywhere these days, he must be involved, though J.K. Rowling has remained suspiciously quiet about it.
Anyone over 40 has been hearing about the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels since the aptly named 'energy crisis' of the mid 1970's, when for the first time, the West came face to face with the grim facts that:
1. Arab oil producing nations (OPEC) as well as Russian oil and gas, effectively have the world over the proverbial barrel, (of oil that is - black gold, Teheran tea) because of our frighteningly wasteful consumption of oil and gas at present.
AND
2. Our grossly improvident guzzling of said fuel HAD to be radically restructured, BEFORE we ran out of the stuff, or we all have to become familiar with the old horse and buggy once more.
That was thirty years ago and sadly, very little seems to have fundamentally changed since then. OPEC & Co still have the West over a barrel, and that's simply because we haven't altered our consumption practices to any great degree.
Or have we?
There's no question that automobile manufacturers are producing more fuel-efficient cars than ever before. Compared to even the early 80's, automobiles today generally have much higher fuel efficiency than their forebears.
Manufacturers have even gone so far as to create the 'Hybrid' vehicle - a car that runs on a combination of traditional petroleum and electricity. It does so by converting normally unused combustion engine energy, such as that normally squandered by braking or coasting, into electricity and storing it in a battery.
This energy can then be used when needed by the hybrid's electrical motor to assist the conventional engine at times when it's at its least efficient - generally during low speed driving conditions or when climbing steep inclines.
Then there is the even more futuristic fuel cell vehicle. Essentially, this is a car which runs on a device (another highly specialized battery) which converts oxygen and hydrogen into water, the end result of the process being electricity that is then used to power the motor. Unlike conventional batteries, whose internally stored chemicals are finite and are eventually depleted, thus rendering the battery expendable, the fuel cell battery will continue to produce electricity as long as oxygen and hydrogen are continually introduced into it.
Apart from being relatively cheap to maintain, one of the main selling points of this design is that with the chemicals used to stimulate the process including pure hydrogen, the sole by-products of such an engine would be nothing more harmful to our environment than water vapour and heat. We could say farewell to the catalytic converter and emissions guidelines and testing, forever. Yes I know, it brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?
The automobile industry is clearly being forced to re-think its approach to fuel efficiency even further, as the line-ups and gas gouging prices of the 70s are with us once again, although thankfully they've left their bell bottoms and platforms boots at home this time.
The 80's and 90's were conspicuous by the appearance of the 'monster' car. SUV's and mammoth trucks were all the rage offering an unprecedented sense of status, luxury and power for anyone with the laissez-faire to fork out tens of thousands of £'s or $'s for what amounted to a living room on wheels.
This decade seems certain to be characterized by just the opposite. Smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, even those that run on alternative forms of energy such as hybrids, electricity, or hydrogen fuel cells, are being marketed as the way of the future.
The question is, will these automobiles capture the interest and the buying power of the customer before the reappearance of the horse drawn carriage?
Stay tuned; but stock up on your sugar cubes and bags of apples, just in case.
