Should You Buy a Pop-up Trailer?
The concept of mobile tent trailers has been around a long time. As matter of fact, the covered wagon that transported untold numbers of pioneers into the American west were a type of mobile tent trailer. Some 50 years later, when automobiles started to roam around the country, the covered wagon concept evolved into a type of car trailer that a camping tent could be erected on.

Make Your Turbocharger last
Originally “turbos” were devices that car manufacturers and hotrodders added to their cars solely to boost performance. Today turbos are installed on many cars right from the factory for another reason; turbochargers allow car manufacturers to put smaller engines in their cars and trucks and this means they can make cars that deliver higher gas mileage. How turbos work: For those who don’t know what a turbocharger is, here’s a quick explanation. Let’s start with the engine. All internal combustion engines generate exhaust gases.

California has strict standards and they check your car’s emissions every two years. Often called a “smog check,” this test needs to be done on time or can't register your car during your next registration period. In most other states in the country, a car’s emissions check is performed every year. Instead of being done “pro-actively,” it is usually done during an annual inspection. If your car fails the emissions test, then it won’t receive a new inspection sticker. Read More → -
