Where Are All These Hybrid Cars Anyway?Writen by Lance Winslow

Where are all the fuel efficient cars that we have been promised. There are now great tax incentives for consumers to buy hybrid cars, but there are also waiting lists at many car dealerships. Both Honda and Toyota have waiting lists for their top-selling hybrid cars. At Ford Motor Co. they will roll out more mini Escape SUVs, which will be able to run E85 ethanol in 2007 and 2008.

But even so we can expect higher gasoline prices due to disruptions in supply from international terrorist attacks in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. Additionally the showdown with Iran over the nuclear weapons manufacturing is problematic for OPEC and crude oil supplies. Venezuela which is an oil producing nation has made deals to sell much of its oil to China. And all this is taking place before the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season even starts and it you sure to be a big one.

Can we wait for these hybrid cars for two more years? If oil prices continue to go up we could be paying four dollars and even higher for gasoline. The higher oil prices will take its toll on the American family and consumer. Where are all these hybrid cars anyway? We need more and sooner then later. Consider this 2006.

portable automotive detailers got slammed by el nino but summer is here

Portable Automotive Detailers got Slammed By El Nino but summer is hereWriten by Lance Winslow

If you run a mobile auto detailing business or portable carwash and you lived near the Sierra Nevada Mountain range you know how tough it was this year with all the weather storms. Yet the weatherman never called it an El Nino officially, you can be sure it felt like one to you. We also run a mobile car cleaning business on both sides of the hill; in California and in Nevada.

Our Franchises near the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range on the West Side of this Great Nation who do auto motive detailing have been got slammed with intense weather. Most of the car washes in the region report the same news. It had been cold and windy and lots of Rain, Snow and Blizzard like conditions, that kept our customers mostly in doors and when they go out their cars trashed with mud, dirt and road salt. This is both good and bad for our team. Bad in that it reduces the number of work days in December, through late February, early March. Good in that every single car, truck, shuttle bus, sidewalk and buildings is totally dirty and ugly, thus needing our services. These vehicles got so dirty that going to simple car washes will not suffice, they will need to partake in professional automotive detailing services. Nothing can replace the car care of a professional auto detailing expert.

During the (medium intensity) El Nino Winter months our California Franchises get hammered by rain making schedules hectic trying to work around the storms; which are obviously for storms on their own schedule. For those franchises near the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains both on the leeward and windward side, those nimbus clouds climb upward where the air is much colder turning to snow and provide a much needed snow pack, which will be in need now that it is summer to alleviate the drought conditions.

Currently CA is in a serious situation as the drought has affected all those who get water from the Colorado River. Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino. So much so that there is in progress a water war, which will end up in court soon. Phoenix's SRP, has already cut the water supply by 50%, California has refused to cut her supply as promised. Phoenix area has considered stopping the building new homes and thus the plot thickens as to how the water will be divided as California is at the end of their water rights contract and is negotiating a new contract. Southern California only gets some of its water from Northern California, but what little in overall percentage it does get it really cannot afford to give. The Farmers need it, the Bay Delta is need rejuvenation of supply and the housing in Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley need it too if more people are to live in the region.

No one in the industry is complaining. But we are getting calls from Team Members, Franchisees who do automotive detailing and car washes, Vendors and even competitors in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Northern AZ and California. It is a big deal and the weather is pretty intense in Post Cascade WA and OR, as well as ID car washes. And the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is getting its share of harsh weather and it's much needed snow pack.

El Nino and this years winter weather we had could not have come at a better time really, considering the much needed water supply. I guess the auto detailers were forced to take a few days off and be really busy between storms for a while, as the storms caught up to our rainfall deficit on the West Coast.

Our Reno Area Franchisee got hit with several intense storms, which were about 2 feet each. Washing cars, automotive detailing and car washes have been a scheduling situation during the last parts of 2002, 2003, 2004 and this year started out more stormy than most. It is going to be a scorcher summer indeed, but summers here, the weather is good and it is time for all West Coast auto detailers to make hay. Think about it.

looking for a cheap goodcondition car try a used police vehicle

Looking for a Cheap, Good-Condition Car? Try a Used Police VehicleWriten by Albert Lee

What, drive around in an ex-police car? If the thought isn't quite comfortable with you, you might want to reconsider. Used police cars are actually a great choice if you want to buy cheap. If you choose well, you could get one that's well-maintained with a repair record or logbook which is probably more complete and accurate than anything you yourself have for your old reliable. Better yet, used police cars can be bought at a fraction of their value.

What to look for:

Check where the car was originally from. Most city police cars have had a tough run, while some police cars from the country may have less wear and tear. This is not a general rule, but it may be helpful.

Check for equipment that have been added or removed. It's a used police car, so expect stuff like sirens, lights, cages, gun mounts, antennas, spot lights and the like. The unit could have holes in the trunk and roof because of these. Some used police cars also have rear side windows and rear door locks that don't work not a bad thing, but some family members or friends might find it annoying.

Speaking of sirens and lights, don't be too ecstatic about getting them on your car. Some states prohibit possession of police sirens and lights, so it's best to check with your municipality about laws and regulations concerning them. Also, removing these equipment will mean some wiring concerns and yes, holes on your unit.

Used police cars usually have rubber floors. Great if you find one with carpeting so you get more buffer from noise and heat. Check also if the car was used as a K9 unit. Yep, you have to know this. Sometimes no amount of Glade can do away with the nasty dog smell and it's just not cool driving a nice car that smells like a dog house.

Another concern would be the color of the car. Most used police cars in the auction lot are black or white or a combination of both. And then there are the blues, silvers, grays and tans, or some other color, depending on which government agency used it. If you bought one with some damage on the body, you might have a difficulty matching the color, even if you get the paint custom mixed. Also, black and white combination cars are illegal in some states.

Try to check for the average mileage in the used police car lot. If you find one with a really low mileage, you might think you've hit the jackpot, but be wary. No matter how rich you think your state is, a police agency just does not put up its used cars for auction for no reason. One risk of a low-mileage used police car is that it could have been involved in an accident, so it's best to check its background.

Just for your own security, subscribe to CarFax so you can check the history of the cars you are interested in, especially mileage noted during state inspections and any accidents they may have been involved in. However, not all used police cars involved in accidents are reported to an insurance company, which means you may not find an accident report with CarFax.

The best thing to do is check the title to see if it's been salvaged and how many times the car has changed hands. Ask a knowledgeable friend or a mechanic to help you in your decision before you conclude the deal. Ask for a copy of a repair report and records so you can see the exact damage the car sustained, when it was repaired, the name of the shop who did the repairs and the list of parts that have been replaced.

No matter what car dealers tell you, there is no such thing as a premium or deluxe used police car package. Whether they've been driven by regular policemen or top brass officers, it's really up to you to decide on your own if that used police car is a good buy.
