Although cars are still fulfilling the basic function for which they were invented; they have undergone some change in terms of the features and accessories they come equipped with. The advancements in these features have rendered the average car owner almost helpless when it comes to dealing with issues. Anti-lock brakes, computer controlled entertainment systems, and exhausts designed to keep up with stringent emission norms are just some of the cutting edge features that 21st century software-laden cars are equipped with.
Auto makers now provide us with on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems that track the functioning of the applications fitted on to the vehicle. These OBD systems alert us if a problem is serious enough to require repair, if not they generate an error code every time a problem occurs. For example, if the air conditioning does not cool to the desired level, the OBD issues an error code that is deposited in the memory of the vehicle’s computer.
Currently, cars in America are fitted with diagnostic systems compliant with OBD II. From 2008 onwards, a new standard CAN will be implemented. If you intend to purchase automotive code readers or scanners, check of they are compliant with CAN.
A bad credit loan is not something your citicard would appreciate, specially if you are claiming reimbursements on your medical insurance. The visa card is a bit lenient in its personal loan policies though. In any case, avoid looking at a rental property unless you can afford with cash balance.
So many old husbands’ tales and untruths and half-truths perpetrated by the marketing guys and mechanics, its amazing that there are so many which we still believe in. Given below are 5 car myths busted once and for all time.
1. Ask any conscientious motorist and he’ll recommend changing oil every 3000 miles. This was desirable in the older days but no longer. Modern vehicles can go an amazing 7500 miles without an oil change but the service stations would rather that we continue changing every 3000 miles. Don’t believe? Look up your car maintenance book and see what it says.
2. A big myth perpetrated by clever marketing guys is that premium gasoline is always the better option. Well, you will do just fine with the octane level which your car maker recommends. And yes, detergents for cleaning the fuel injectors are now available in every grade of gas so you don’t need to go premium.
3. This one myth has plenty of substance and support and is in fact no myth; it’s just that when you don’t know the reason for doing something, you’re apt to dismiss it as well… a myth. You should indeed have your fuel tank full; it helps a lot in wintertime when tanks sweat and you don’t want water getting into the tank. The warmth in a garage can lead to moisture generation in tanks not full.
4. Comprehensive coverage is not what it sounds like. It does not cover collisions. Theft, fire, weather-related events, and vandalism are covered by it.
5. Don’t go searching for shiny reflective speed plates; they don’t help you avoid speed cameras.
Knowing about financial planning does not imply learning about foreign exchange or complex stock investing. However you should know about stock investing and simpler things like managing mutual funds and having insurance. This knowledge matters in online trading.
