60 Habits of Terrible Drivers, from Annoying to Downright Dangerous
By aclark | Posted in Uncategorized on Monday, August 6th, 2018 at 1:48 AM
Picture the perfect afternoon commute. The roads are clear, everyone’s going the speed limit, and everyone is courteous. You make it home in record time. The easy-listening station is playing “Life is a Highway.” Your tree-lined street is blooming with apple blossoms, and little baby birds are chirping in their nests.
Now imagine the highways taken over by obnoxious drivers. Feel your blood pressure rise by double digits almost instantly, your knuckles turning white as you clench the steering wheel for dear life. Expletives fly from your mouth almost as often as clueless drivers cut you off one after the other. Everywhere you look, drivers are stuffing their faces with fries as they update their facebook profiles. “Am I the only sane person with a driver’s license?” you think to yourself.
Chevy Corvette: Sporty, Powerful, and Efficient
By Low Book Sales | Posted in Uncategorized on Sunday, July 15th, 2018 at 3:52 PMWhen you think of Chevy Corvettes, some adjectives likely spring to mind: powerful, fast, sporty and sleek for instance.
If you didn’t think of the term, “ecofriendly” or “solar array” we don’t blame you. These aren’t terms that we’d have thought of either.
However, the largest solar array of any automaker in Kentucky will soon reside in Bowling Green, at the home of the Chevy Corvette. The output of the panels there would be enough energy to produce around 850 Corvettes annually, officials said.

Happy Fathers Day! – See What Dad Might Be Driving If He’d Never Had Kids
If you’ve ever caught dad checking out other, sexier cars as he drove you around in the family SUV, that’s probably more than just admiration. He’s picturing what could have been, if only he hadn’t had to factor in space for a car seat or multiple car seats. He’s envisioning his life as a freewheeling bachelor, zooming around in his two-seat convertible with just his wits and no obligations.
Life had something else in store for your father, though. And so these visions will have to remain in the world of fantasy.
So to celebrate father’s day, here are 10 cars that your dad might be riding around in if you’d never been born. These are the vehicles that are ideal for a bachelor, but as we become parents we move on to more utilitarian cars. Of course, dads drive their midsize SUVs and minivans with pride, but there’s still a small, hidden corner of our hearts that longs for one of these sleeker, sexier vehicles.

Should I Use My 2017 Tax Refund to Buy a Used Car?
By Low Book Sales | Posted in Car Buying on Wednesday, February 7th, 2018 at 10:07 PM
It’s that time of year again. Uncle Sam is coming for your taxes, and you’d better be prepared to pay up.
But if you’re like most Americans, probably don’t have to worry too much about that–you’ve likely had your payroll taxes automatically deducted from your paychecks throughout the year. This means you can reasonably expect a fairly sizable tax return. In fact, almost 8 out of 10 Americans are expected to get a tax refund.
Of course, don’t forget that this is your money – it always was, it’s just getting refunded back to you. And you get to spend it however you want (whether it’s for a big screen TV, or to pay off debt, or anything else, really). Read the rest of this entry »

How To Prepare Your Car For Winter
By Low Book Sales | Posted in Car Care on Friday, December 15th, 2017 at 6:49 AM
Freezing temperatures and snowy roads make driving in winter more challenging (and at times frustrating) than other seasons. No matter the weather, there are many maintenance tasks you need to complete to make sure your vehicle runs reliably and efficiently. However, hazardous driving conditions and sub zero temps that often accompany winter means that you have to take a few extra steps in order to winterize your vehicle.
Changes in weather can have a measurable effect on your car–it can cause fluids to thicken or freeze, rubber tubes and belts to stiffen and crack, and air pressure to go down in the tires. If your car isn’t adequately prepared, you put yourself at an increased risk of getting stranded on the side of the road, being unable to start your car on a sub-zero morning, or some other calamity.
Don’t treat winter like any other season–take these steps to winterize your vehicle and set yourself up for a successful, calamity-free winter! Read the rest of this entry »
