Are you one of those people that store your ATV all winter? Well give your ATV cover a break. Why are you not enjoying riding and plowing through the white fluffy snow? Don’t be afraid to use it. Just like other vehicles, salt and other substances may cause rusting of parts or corroding components if not probably treated after each use. To help prevent this from happening to your all terrain vehicle, wash it after riding then take out that cover again. It is also a good idea to cover while trailering especially during harsh weather conditions.

You can easily help in Environmental care by changing a few habits. These things can not only make you more “green” but also be able to save you money. The automotive industry is making much progress by continuing to provide consumers with electric, hybrid or alternately fueled vehicles. If current eco-friendly options are not available to you because of budget, location, or other factors, you can still participate in the green revolution through other means.

A few examples are, regular vehicle maintenance that will help your engine running at its best, helping increase your vehicles fuel efficiency and making your vehicle’s engine pollute less. Keeping your tires properly inflated and aligned will help the tires’ life expectancy eliminating additional waste. Also, remember to dispose of oil, anit-freeze and other engine fluids properly; no one wants to be personally responsible for polluting local water or poisoning wildlife. Last, doing car care product research, investing in products made of recycled materials, help save your money and also helps the environment! Empire Covers is doing our part; check out out Premier Cover, a car cover made of completely recyclable material.

Many of you probably watched the inauguration of Barack Obama. Did you also get a view of his new Cadillac Limousine? This is an all new design features familiar DTS styling with advanced technology and is custom made for our 44^th President of the United States. This Presidential Cadillac Limousine is said to hold many high tech security features including run flat tires, a heavy outer armor, and a completely sealed interior as well as bulletproof glass. Underneath the 8” thick glass stands a mystery of security that will remain in top secrecy. (The Secret Service are said to be calling it “the beast”) The only thing left is a presidential car cover (or limousine cover in this case) to keep those secrets completely covered!

With the lending economy still slowing down you may have your car for a longer period of time then expected.  To take further care of it you should cover it up to protect the paint and extend the life.

If you are in the market for a new vehicle you may be asking yourself, should I buy or should I lease? Make sure you do your research and take the time educating yourself about these two financial options. It will ultimately come down to personal circumstances but having facts will help when you’re in the dealers chair faced with this decision.

If you are in search of lower monthly payments and like having a new car every few years that features the latest technology as well as security of a warranty, then a Lease may just be for you. On the other hand if you are searching for ownership with the option to customize your ride, drive more then average miles and plan on keeping your vehicle for a long period of time then maybe buying is the way to go.

The decision to buy or lease will vary with each household but remember to get your facts and keep in mind simple protection like a car cover will help in keeping your vehicle looking young and may just get you that little extra cash needed when you are ready to trade in!

Each year people take the time out of there busy schedules to make New Year’s resolutions. Ever think about relating these goals to protecting your ride? Here are a few ideas:

• Take the time to read your owners manual and have your vehicle serviced properly.
• Wash and clean your ride.
