Did you ever wonder how the names of some
of the Volkswagen cars were coined? The company
uses the various types of winds for the purpose.
For example, the Jetta means “jet stream”, the
Passat means “trade winds”, and the Polo means
“Polar Winds.”

In Japan, there are different stickers which are
used on the cars to identify the driving capabilities
and experience of a car’s driver. These stickers
help other car drivers to be a little more patient
when driving around such cars.

Can you figure out the name of the
automobile company that has four overlapping
rings? You guessed it right, it is Audi. The
company’s logo has a set of four overlapping rings
that depict the four companies the names of the
four original companies that Audi is formed from.
Earlier they used to have the name of the
individual company’s name in the ring but that has
disappeared in the last few years.

Another impressive car logo which has
drooled the hearts of millions of people globally is
the Ferrari logo. The horse emblem with a bright
yellow color in the background came to existence
when Enzo Ferrari was asked to paint a prancing
horse on his vehicles to honor fighter pilot and
World War I hero Count Francesco Barraca, who
painted a similar horse on his plane.

Irvin Gordon from the United States is the
person who has achieved the highest vehicle
mileage ever in his 1966 Volvo 1800S. Driving his
car on a daily basis, he covers (85,000–100,000
miles) per year. By 1 May 2014, he had driven
3,039,122 miles. Now that is the equivalent of
nearly 120 complete circumnavigations of the
planet.

Give It a Rest
Shift into neutral at traffic lights. The
transmission doesn't care, and it makes life a bit
easier for the engine. This technique reduces the
amount of heat carried by the cooling system and
can increase gas mileage a tick or two.

Check Your Hands
Your seat is positioned properly when you can
hang your wrists over the top of the steering
wheel. And remember not to grip the wheel as
you would a tennis racket, with your thumbs
wrapped around so that they connect in back
with your fingers. Instead, leave your thumbs on
top of the wheel. Otherwise, in a collision, the
wheel can whip back around and snap your
thumbs.

Survive a Water Landing
Almost all cars have electronic windows that
short out when they come in contact with water.
So invest in a center punch, a device shaped like
a screwdriver but with a sharp center point. It
makes breaking a window a cinch. Store it in your
center console or glove box—not your trunk.

Wax to protect your car’s paint job: No way around
it! Waxing your car is work. But it’s satisfying work
that will help keep your car looking new. Car wax
preserves paint by slowing oxidation and forming a
barrier against bird droppings, sap, and pollution.
Plus driving a nice shiny car is just plain fun.

Preserve your car during long-term storage :If you
are not going to use your car for more than a
month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary
damage and repairs upon your return.
1. Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation
from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel
stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to distribute
the additive to engine parts.
2. Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the
finish.
3. Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-
mil polyethylene drop cloth will do.
4. Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake
corrosion.
5. Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of
the vehicle off the wheels and tires.
6. Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it
from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype
charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a
small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-volt
charger.
7. Plug the tailpipe with a rag to prevent moist air
from infiltrating into it.

No Fake Replacements :Many car owners, in order to
save few bucks, compromises with fake or less
priced spare parts to replace the worn out parts.
The fake parts take a toll on the complete car
engineering. Always use genuine company made
parts to replace the old one.

Spark plugs do need changing The advent of
electronic ignition and on-board computers has
eliminated the need for regular tune-ups, but you
still need to change your spark plugs. Many
manufacturers recommend changing plugs every
30,000 or 40,000 miles (48,000 or 64,000 km) to
ensure good fuel mileage and engine performance.
Some new cars come with long-life plugs
(sometimes called double platinum plugs) that can
last for 100,000 miles (160,000 km). If your car
isn’t so equipped, make the switch after 30,000
miles. The extra cost is only a few dollars per spark
plug. While you’re at it, change your spark plug
wires as well. Their typical life is 50,000 miles
(80,000 km). Deteriorated wires can cause those
high-tech new spark plugs to foul.

Avoid hose hassles Check the hoses under your
hood every month or two to avoid the hassle of a
broken hose while you’re on the road. With the car
cool and off, squeeze the hoses. If they are hard or
make a crunching sound, replace them. Ditto if they
are extremely soft or sticky.With the car warm but
off, examine hoses for bulges and collapsed
sections. If you find any, the hose walls are weak,
and it’s time to replace the hose. Never drive with a
ruptured coolant hose, or you are liable to overheat
the engine and damage it. Other hoses are crucial to
operation of your power brakes and cruise-control
systems.

Select a reliable car insurer No matter how careful
you are, accidents or damages are inevitable. In this
case, you need to have a car insurer you can trust.
Choose a car insurer who replaces damaged parts
only with original parts from the manufacturer and
who can give you guarantees on repairs.

Keep an auto log :Keep a pad and pencil in the glove
compartment and use them to record your gas fill-
ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage
worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be
an early warning sign that something is wrong with
your car.

Fix the washer fluid tank :Cracked washer-deicer
fluid tanks are fairly common once a car is of a
certain age. A good remedy — until you can buy a
new tank or find one at the junkyard — is to insert
a plastic freezer bag into the tank and fill it with
the washer fluid.
