My Neighbor Got A New Car

by: Al Thomas

I don?t know what kind it is, but I saw it on TV running full speed along the shore (I don?t live near the shore) throwing up spray or maybe it was that one climbing up the steep mountain trail thru the mud, rocks and snow. Very exciting. (I don?t live near the mountains either.) WOW! Just what I need.

But there are a few obstacles.

It costs about $28,000. (That?s close to the average annual wage.) I have perfect credit and they?ll give it to me for no money down. All I have to do is make the monthly payments for the next 5 years of only $541. Maybe it won?t be that much because I?ll be trading in my car and I have it almost paid for it.

I can see me now headed for the beach or climbing that mountain in that shiny new car.

I tell my wife.

She says, ?So?.

I say, ?Waddayamean ?so???

She elaborates that our car is almost paid for and hasn?t a scratch on it. It looks like new when it is washed and waxed and runs great. She whacks me with if I want a different car we can have this one repainted and put on new slip covers. The transmission and AC have both been replaced and it has less than 100,000 miles on it. She remembers the engine is rated for 200,000 miles and the tires are good for another 50,000 miles. How does she recall those statistics? I can?t win for losing with this woman.

There is a tone in her voice that I know means finality when she iterates, ?You might want a new car, but we don?t need one?. My reply is the car might break down and may cost thousands to fix?. Her lightning reply, ?Well, it won?t cost $28,000 and our insurance bill won?t go up either. If you want payments you can make an extra mortgage payment each month. Better yet let?s knock down that credit card debt.?

I hear the air hissing out of my balloon. No beach. No mountains. Forget all that practical stuff like saving for retirement or having some extra cash put away for emergencies. Damn.

BUT - my neighbor has a new car.

Bicycle Rims And Wheels, Your Bike Cant Go Anywhere Without Them

Bicycle Rims And Wheels, Your Bike Cant Go Anywhere Without Them

by: Alastair Hamilton

The first bicycle wheels were from a horse drawn cart, made of wood with a metal band round the bicycle rim, very hard and very uncomfortable to ride. Then a man called Dunlop (Scottish) invented the pneumatic tire, this along with Macadam (another Scot) inventing the tar road surface made cycling a lot more comfortable.

The bicycle rim, like the bicycle frame hasn?t changed much in design, its still round and always will be. From the first wooden rims the next were made of steel, then alloy and now if you can afford it, carbon. Of all bicycle parts the bicycle rim can make a big difference to how your bike handles. First the weight of your rim affects your sprinting and climbing as the weight will low you down, for a long, flat effort the weight isn?t so important as when you get the wheels rolling the weight can help to keep them going.

Weight and Motorcycle

Weight and Motorcycle

by: Maricon Williams

Have you ever bothered about the significance of weight to your bike? Maybe yes, but to other riders, the answer will be on the negative.

Weight affects the performance of the motorcycle. In fact, it greatly improves the bike?s braking acceleration and deceleration. Thus, to reduce the weight of the wheels can make a great boost. That change can be a catalyst to achieve your most desired motorcycle performance.

Motorcycle parts and accessories play an important role in the performance of the motorcycle. They can break or make a history. This is the reason why we have to know them by heart and apply the best solution to bring out the best in every part.

Winter driving can be hazardous and stressful. Wind, snow, ice and blizzard conditions increase the normal dangers of driving. There is a lot you can do before the winter driving season and during a storm to protect yourself and your family.

Before winter arrives, have your car inspected to be sure it is ready for the road conditions. You can do this yourself or take it to a qualified mechanic.

Check your tires to be sure they are road ready. Install tires that are appropriate for the driving conditions. In moderate amounts of snow, all weather radials will do the job nicely. If you live in a climate where you experience a lot of snow, consider snow tires. These...
