Pros and Cons of the HEMI Engine
Known for its muscle, the HEMI engine has been popular ever since it debuted in Chrysler's vehicles in the early 1950s. The original model was a V-8 configuration that offered drivers 180 horsepower. Today, that kind of power hardly seems worth a second glance, but in 1951, it turned heads. It wasn't long before Chrysler, aware there was a growing market for the HEMI, devoted their resources to further developing the engine. By 1965, it offered 425 horsepower. The main ingredient behind the HEMI's enormous power and efficiency was the design of the combustion chamber. Rather than relying upon a traditional flat design, the HEMI was curved at the top (similar to the top edge of a ball). This...
Ugh, you see the flashing red lights in the rear view mirror. As you pull to the side of the road, and compose yourself and prepare to get your license, insurance, and registration, you feel your frustration begin. You ask yourself why did I roll through that stop sign and agonize on how this will set you back. Is rolling through a stop sign really a big deal? Yes. - According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, stop sign violations are associated with nearly two hundred deaths and 17,000 injuries each year. The National Safe Kids Campaign, in conjunction with FedEx, conducted a national survey of motorist behavior at stop signs in October of 2003. The results of the study were...
Are HHO Fuel Kits a SCAM? Know the Truth About Gas Savers
Gasoline has never been more expensive than this summer, and the bad news is that it won't stop raising.

The Formidable Buick GS
A high performance package available for Buick models including Riviera, Skylark and Wildcat was the Buick Gran Sport or Buick GS. Buick was one of the last manufacturers to enter the muscle cars battle. It started, like other GM intermediate cars, as an option on an existing model. Once the car underwent fine tuning, it would become one of the most formidable and fearsome muscle cars of all time. In 1965 came the Skylark Gran Sport, an intermediate Buick GS with the GS option added. The GS had the largest engine supported by GM, a 400 cid Buick V8. This was known as the "nail head" engine due to the size of its valves and was capable of producing 32b5hp. More than 15,000 Skylarks equipped with the...
The ABCs of Checking and Changing Power Steering Fluid
You do not need professional help to check or change the power steering fluid of your car. If you have an older model, note that it may not have power steering. Circumstances under which you should change the steering fluid of your car are when you hear whining noises when turning the wheel, where there are leaks, when the power steering fluid level has gone down on the indicator, every five years or at least every 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and when the steering fluid changes color. The importance of changing the power steering fluid cannot be overemphasized. You should change the fluid regularly because over time, the O-rings and other interior power steering components undergo tear and...
Karcher Blitzes US Markets with Personal Pressure Washers
The Karcher Company is one of the Worlds Leading makers of pressure washing equipment. The Karcher Company is obviously German and you can tell by its name. Currently Karcher is blitzing the US market with personal pressure washers for the home. These pressure washers are being sold for as little as $38 at Wal-Mart. They have another version at Wal-Mart, which sells for $128. The Karcher Company is known for its quality around the world in pressure washers and so when it sells pressure washers at such a low price they sell like hot cakes and this makes it very difficult on American companies to compete. Home Depot has several vendors, which sell low-cost pressure washers, but it is difficult for...

In The Science Behind Hydrogen Hybrid Cars - The Equations of Electrolysis we looked at the details of the scientific equations of electrolysis, now let's discuss the electrolytes we've talked about in your hydrogen automobile. If the processes we discussed in The Equations of Electrolysis were to happen in pure water then the H+ cations (positively charged ion that's attracted to a negative electrode in an electrolyte) will gather at the anode and the OH- anions (negatively charged ion that's attracted to a positive electrode in an electrolyte) will go to the cathode. You can verify that by using a pH tester in the water of your hydrogen automobile. You'll find the water closest to the anode...
How Octane Works to Improve Gas Mileage
Since the oil companies raised gas prices I have seen more and more articles about the benefits of using high-octanes gasoline versus the question of whether it is a waste of money. Your primary considerations in choosing fuel octanes levels are the manufacturers recommendation and the compression ratio of the engine. As a very general rule, an engine with compression ratio of 9.0:1 or over will benefit from high octanes gasoline, and the higher the compression the more the engine will benefit from successively higher-octanes levels. The benefit is both in power production and lack of detonation. Modern engine-management systems use knock sensors to detect engine detonation (aka pinging, knocking...

The Smear Campaign Against Toyota
Trying to find the facts about how many Toyota cars have been involved in fatal accidents as a result of mechanical failure is next to impossible due to the many articles written by attorneys trying to get rich at Toyota's expense. News stories looking for sensationalism instead of reporting facts are also in on the hoax. It could be hundreds, thousands or even millions of Toyota owners who are at risk according to what's on the internet. In reality, only 8 out of 4,200,000 cars have had a major accident as a result of mechanical failure, but you can't find that fact on the internet or even buried in the bottom of a news article. News stories are confusing numbers of recalls with actual accidents...

The Maruti Swift Review
With its snazzy styling, the Swift was bound to be a success. This hatch looks strikingly attractive from the front, side and rear profiles alike. The Swift has a low planted stance and is very well-proportioned. Our reviewers insist it's not the looks alone though. Swift owners are an incredibly satisfied lot; they consider the hatch a value-for-money package. The build quality feels more solid than what we have come to expect from Maruti, yet it has a fair share of rattles and shoddy fitting quality. Some panel gaps are inconsistent too. Most reports stated that comfort upfront is fantastic, but the interiors offer below average space at the rear. Again, boot space is limited and the smallest in...

Clear Your Car's Clutter and Enjoy the Ride
p>We spend a lot of time in our vehicles, whether it's going to and from work, carting the kids to various activities or embarking on a road trip. With such busy lifestyles, cars have become our home on wheels; a place to eat, fix our hair, make calls, and catch up on reading and paperwork (hopefully not while driving!). This can take a toll on the inside of the vehicle, causing clutter to pile up and become an eyesore. Having a disorganized car not only prevents us from feeling comfortable and enjoying the ride, it can also be dangerous. Items rolling around in the vehicle can distract drivers and even cause injury in the event of a sudden stop or crash. Here are some easy organizing strategies and...

Why Beam Processing Can Be More Productive
In terms of finish carpentry, a common situation to use a cope is when two shaped pieces, like mouldings, are joined at an angle. If you want a professional-looking joint, an elaborate curved line must be cut in each section so the pair of ends fit. If a piece is is to be joined directly to the side of the other, it calls for one to to "cope" one piece so as to match the other piece. When it comes to structural steel, the typical cope need not be quite so particular as it must be with exposed millwork. Yet, the principle is similar to the wood scenario. Coping a beam assures it can be fixed to an intersecting column (or another beam) by eliminating a part that could be an interference. The amount of...

Yellow Sing-A-Ma-Jigs Review
Every year there are many new toys rolled out to try and catch the attention and approval of both kids and parents. Some succeed wildly, while others fail to impress. This year the "sing-a-ma-jigs" are a new line of stuffed toys. They're not stuffed animals, because these toys aren't shaped around specific animals, but goofy and odd looking creatures that might vaguely remind people of Muppets or the old Fraggles. They're called sing-a-ma-jigs because when they're squeezed or picked up, they start singing a song, a tune, or making strange music like sounds. Sometimes they go right from one to another. These toys are cute, they look collectible, and the singing and music are going to make them...
