Everyone loves something new. A new car smell. Ah, what can be better? But do you know what the "new car smell" is a complicated mix of some more than 60 volatile organic compounds. Want some fresh air now? wink

Russian outfitter TOPCAR has just released images of a newly outfitted Mercedes G65 AMG, customized with a complete crocodile leather and carbon-fiber interior. Aiming to match the inside with the exterior’s massive dimensions and 6.0-liter, 612 horsepower V-12 engine, the SUV was fitted with an interior fit for a road, and off-road, king. But knowing that even crocodile leather might go unnoticed, the company was careful to tint it a screaming shade of bright red.

Top tips on driving in floods
1. Only drive through water if you know that it’s not too deep. If the water is no more than half way up your wheels, it’s probably safe to proceed.
2. Drive slowly so as not to create a bow wave in front of the vehicle and make sure you have a clear route ahead to avoid stopping in standing water.
3. Always test your brakes after driving through water.
4. Never attempt to drive through fast-flowing water as your car could easily be swept away.
5. If you become stuck in a flood, unless the water is shallow, stay in the car and phone for help rather than try to get out.
6. If your engine cuts out after driving through deep water, do not try to restart it or you could seriously damage your engine. Flood water, particularly sea water, can play havoc with a car’s electrical systems.

Winter Car Tire Care Tips & Auto Tire Rotation Special

Check Tires for proper inflation in the winter. Tires lose pressure in the Cold weather. Lower tire pressure can reduce your vehicle’s traction especially on snowy or wet roads.

1. Check proper Tire PSI inflation in your car manual or on the inside door panel (not on PSI on the side of the tire!)

2. Regular Tire Rotation helps with even tread wear and extend your Tire life. We recommend rotating your tires about every 6,000 miles (+/- depending on patterns –rule of thumb – Rotate tires every other oil change)

3. Put New Tires on the back of the vehicle for better traction in Snow and wet road conditions.

It wasn’t long ago that high-intensity discharge lamps were the latest thing in vehicle headlights, but even they became old hat in 2008 when Audi introduced LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as the main light source for its supercar, the R8.

An increasing number of women are prepared to get under their car’s bonnet and perform routine maintenance themselves.
More than a quarter (27%) said they were confident doing repairs on their vehicle, while 60% of females had already carried out at least on basic repair or maintenance task on their car.

Far from just shattering the stereotype that guys are the only ones to poke around under the hood of their car, the study also showed that in doing so, women motorists stand to save in servicing and repair costs.

Large car: Chevrolet Impala

For decades, the Impala nameplate was synonymous with the image of a bad rental car. Make no mistake, this Impala humbles the Toyota Avalon and even the Lexus ES 350. Large and roomy, the Impala has comfortable seats and rides like a true luxury car. The suspension is supple yet responsive, without the body roll that plagues many big cars. For the older demographic this car hopes to attract, the controls are big, intuitive, and easily understood. The only drawback is limited visibility due to its high rear deck and deep parcel shelf. You can get one nicely equipped for $35,000, with affordable optional forward-collision and lane-departure warning systems. A caveat: Only the V6 version meets our reliability standards.

Jeep Renegade

Developed primarily for sale in Europe, China and other regions, the subcompact Renegade's appeal in the U.S. is unknown, but Jeep could use an appealing entry-level model. A lot will depend on whether the Renegade delivers on Fiat Chrysler's promise of serious off-road capability. The vehicle has been scheduled for release this month.

New Trend: Seat Logos
One of interesting features is the truck name embroidered on the sides of front seats. We're not sure whether this design detail is trending and spreading across the auto industry or if it was just an odd coincidence at the Detroit Auto show.

Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 6:55pm On Apr 14, 2015
Very important! Check your tyres and the stepney for minor cuts and nicks. Replace them if they have had too many punctures recently or if the tread depth isn’t adequate. Avoid getting low profile “performance tyres”. Make sure that tyre pressure stays at optimal levels.

Why does my car shake?

There are four instances when you could expect to feel vehicle shake and each one is a symptom of a very specific problem. Some issues are minor and some are more serious. Though this is not an exhaustive list, it does outline the most common complaints we hear day to day.

- Shaking while driving 80 kms on the highway (fast shaking felt through steering wheel): It is probably a tire balance issue.
- Shaking while rolling slowly (wobble): it could be a tire separation, the layers of rubber are coming apart, causing a bulge that makes the car shake each time you hit it.
- Shaking at idle (full vehicle shake): Engine is running improperly, probably not on all cylinders (a misfire).
- Shaking while accelerating (full vehicle shake): usually a misfire that only happens under load.
