Smart Car

Friday, February 27th, 2009

This new Smart car features Smart Safety (I’ll explain).  It was on display at the manufacturer’s booth of tiny automobiles. This vehicle would need a few more pieces before getting to use a Car Cover or some floor mats! The point of this display is to show that even though the new Smart Cars are smaller than a compact Honda Civic, in the event of an accident you won’t end up the size of a compacted soda can!  With it’s strong structural integrity it should be a hit with critics and drivers alike.

Environmental Car Care

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

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.
