What not to say a cop

Aren’t you the guy from the Village People?
I can’t reach my license unless you hold my beer.
Sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize my radar detector wasn’t plugged in.
Hey, you must’ve been doin’ about 125 mph to keep up with me! Good job!
I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
You’re not gonna check the trunk, are you?
I pay your salary!
Gee, Officer! That’s terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other car around–that’s how far ahead of me they are.

To succeed and make a difference in this business, automotive car makers need to learn how to use automotive SEO or automotive Search Engine Optimization. What is this?

According to Wikipedia : “it is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it “ranks”, the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.”

Car makers and dealers have various techniques to improve their SEO or their page rank on the net: promote site to others in this business, provide unique content that could attract visitors (for example, for visitors interested by the car business, news about new cars, car design, …). It seems quite simple but it is a long process to make a site #1 on SEO and make a difference in this business. That is why car makers and dealers need to invest time and money to improve automotive SEO. Good luck to them!

Any experienced mechanic will tell you that the most common cause of no-start that he has encountered is the in-tank electric fuel pumps not working properly.

The most common reason for the electric fuel tank tanking is neglecting scheduled maintenance and cleaning the fuel filter. A choked filter impedes the flow of fuel from the pump, thereby damaging it. A filter should ideally be replaced every 24 months or 24,000 miles. Fuel filters do not cost more than $100-$110. A fuel pump replacement can be almost 7-8 times more expensive.

A filled tank helps to keep the fuel pump cool. You should try and keep the tank more than 1/4th full at all times and anytime you happen to run the pump with an empty tank, be prepared to shop for a new pump. A full tank also prevents the pump from sucking in sediments from the bottom, if the strainer at the pump inlet gets clogged, it will reduce the flow of fuel into the pump, which can lead to overheating of the pump and subsequent failure.

Keep your eyes and ears open for tell-tale signs that all is not well with your fuel pump. The pump may emit an uncharecteristic whine, the car may stall or the engine may not start at all. Head for the nearest service station without delay if you do not want to aggaravate the problem.

The business man then handed over the keys to a Maseratti that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.

Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41.

The loan officer said, “We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a billionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?”

The business man replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for fifteen bucks?”

The coolant is easily the most critical component that needs to be taken care of in the freezing months. If the coolant is not cared for, it may freeze and render the engine useless. You can check the freezing point of your coolant with a Ball-Type tester. Ideally, the coolant should be changed every 30,000 miles or two years.

Keep the car body panels free from damage by washing your car so that salt and other chemicals used to melt the ice on the roads do not stay adhered to the car body. Waxing the car body prevents snow from damaging the paint.

Traction is important during winter months so check the tread depth and the tire pressure which tends to drop during the winter months. If your all-season tires are worn out you may want to replace them with steel wheels that have dedicated snow tires on them.

Your windshield washer solvent can withstand cold up to ten degrees below, if temperatures fall below that in your area, consider an alternative wiper solution. Also, your winter wiper blades should have some protection on the pivots so that they don’t freeze over and can flex easily to scrape the ice and snow off the windshield. Your battery should be fully charged to give you the power necessary for revving up a cold engine. Ensure that the battery terminals stay clean by coating them with white lithium grease.

Consider placing a radiator cover if you are using a diesel engine that does not release as much heat as a gas engine. The cover will help to control the flow of warm air from the radiator. An electric engine heater guarantees an engine start even in cold conditions. Heaters help maintain the viscosity of the engine oil. They can fit into the upper radiator hose or in the space used for the dipstick.

It is imperative that the exhaust should not leak; do not run the air conditioning in the car for long periods if the exhaust is not inspected. There is a real danger of carbon monoxide seeping into the seating area and causing fatalities.
