Car thieves prefer old models, FBI reports

Files under vehicles | Leave a Comment

When drivers find lease specials on new cars, they don't want to lose those vehicles to car thieves, no matter how modest the model may be.

But the latest F.B.I. statistics show that car thieves prefer the same average-looking automobiles that most Americans drive. Put off by modern anti-theft devices like alarms, immobilizers and tracking devices, thieves usually choose to steal older, more common cars and then chop them up and sell off their parts.

The most commonly stolen cars in the country last year were the 1994 Honda Accord, 1995 Honda Civic and 1991 Toyota Camry, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which analyzes F.B.I. crime statistics. The figures were reported by The Car Connection.

Repairing Versus Retiring Your Vehicle

Files under Automotive | Leave a Comment

The older your car becomes, the greater the likelihood repairs are right around the corner. Some repairs are inexpensive and simple to perform, such as replacing spark plugs or hoses that have developed leaks. Others are far more expensive and time-consuming. For example, your timing belt may need to be replaced; your master cylinder might be failing; problems may be forming with your cooling system, ignition system, or worse, your engine. Sooner or later, you'll need to take a calculated look at whether repairing your vehicle is still worth the expense.

Below, we'll approach this decision from both sides of the equation. We'll first examine some of the reasons to repair your car. Then, we'll discuss a few reasons to retire it and buy a new one.

Your Vehicle’s Airbags: Understanding Their Operation

Files under Automotive | Leave a Comment

One of the top priorities for automakers is to design vehicles that protect their drivers' safety. In the old days, that protection came in the form of seatbelts. A single over-the-shoulder belt prevented motorists from lurching into their steering wheels and windshields during an accident. Over the years, seatbelt design evolved and today, we have lap belts that offer even more protection.

We're traveling on our roads and highways at faster speeds than ever. As a result, there's more risk of injury in the event of a collision. Responding to a need for greater safety, a law was passed in 1998 requiring all new cars to have air bags installed. Below, we'll explore how they work. You'll learn what triggers their inflation and discover some of the safety issues they caused during the “early” years. We'll also explain how an evolving design promises more protection for drivers in the future.

How Does A Radio Antenna Work

Antenna is very essential for a radio. The air surrounding us in very silent. The activities that are electromagnetic cannot be captured by the ears of normal human being. All the waves including the one from TV, radio, communication through wireless and even transmissions of the internet are in this environment where we all live, sleep and eat. The human body is not affected by this kind of electromagnetic waves. And hence it does not have the capability to sense its travel. So it is very essential to use a device that could capture all these signals. But how do auto radio antennas work?
