OMG! Did someone just scratch my car What can I do to avoid scratches and dents on my car?

It’s always disheartening to see scratches or dents on your newly acquired car. You know, after spending so much money to change your car and/or even do a facelift, I can understand how painful it must be to see the slightest disfiguration to your car. One of the famous Nigerian hip hop songs that reigned in the early 2000s was ‘My Car’ by Tony Tetuila. If you remember this song, then you probably already know where I’m getting at. The lyrics of the song has been a funny song sung by Nigerian drivers when their car suddenly gets bashed in another vehicle. “you don hit my car, oyinbo repete, as you don bash my car gbese repete”.

Almost every Nigerian car owner has had instances where their car sustained a dent by driving on the road. The Nigeria road condition even contributes to the frequency of scratches and dents experienced by road users. But the big question is, are there things that can be done to avoid this situation? Frankly speaking, some of these situations might be unavoidable, but some can be prevented if you put to use these useful tips. Here are smart ways to avoid scratches and dents on your car:

AVOID PARKING CARELESSLY
Parking carelessly exposes your car to potential hits that could cause scratches and dents. Nigerian roads are hardly wide enough to allow ample, safe space for parking. Knowing how narrow the roads are in Nigeria, there have been frequent incidences of cars bumping into each other. Nigerian drivers are often in a hurry, and this makes them indulge in reckless overtaking that causes accidents. To avoid unnecessary scratches and dents in your car, always find a safe place to park your car.

MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE
Maintaining a safe distance is crucial if you want to preserve the paints on your car. If you need to park, avoid parking too close to the next car in front of you, stationary objects or low-hanging trees. If you park too close to these objects, you stand the risk of bashing into any of them when you try to leave the parking lot. During traffic or ‘go-slow’, endeavour to keep a good distance between you and the next vehicle as movements during traffic can be sometimes unpredictable.

AVOID RECKLESS DRIVING
It’s important to remember that your car is not the only car on the road. If you love overspeeding or taking sharp turns to overtake other vehicles on the road, then you might want to have a rethink on that if you want to avoid scratches and dents on your car. Driving really fast could pose a serious danger considering the sad state of Nigerian roads characterized by potholes, bumps etc. If you are lucky to escape an accident, it might be hard to escape sustaining a dent in your car. When you drive carefully on the road, you not only protect yourself and your car, you also protect other drivers and vehicles around you. Drive carefully by staying within speed limits, obeying traffic regulations and signs; and every other rule provided by your state of residence.

DON’T ALLOW FOREIGN OBJECTS ON YOUR CAR
This might be difficult to avoid, but then you are responsible for your car. As much as you can, avoid people scrubbing sharp objects against your car. You can also admonish people not to place any sharp, foreign object that could scratch off paint from your car. If anyone wants to sit in your car, ensure they don’t have any sharp objects like keys, metals, tins etc that could rub off on your car, thereby causing a dent. If possible, don’t allow anyone to even sit in your car including yourself, as their weight can cause a dent in the car. You can also warn roadside vendors not to put their wares on your car.

WASH YOUR CAR WITH RIGHT MATERIALS
When washing your car, use only recommended materials that are good for the surface of your car. Avoid hard brushes, corrosive chemicals that can make paints peel off your car.

OBSERVE THE WEATHER
Weather conditions can make driving difficult. Strong winds, hailstorms, and rainfall can throw up sand, pebbles, stones and other dangerous materials that can cause scratches and dents on your car. Before driving out, do a weather check or listen to the weather forecast to know about the potential state of the weather. Rather than take chances, do away with driving when the weather condition is bad.

The BMW Flow electric SUV concept can change colours at the touch of a button. It can change from white to grey or black and back again in a matter of seconds. While it can’t go beyond the grayscale tab, and even then, it lacks the subtlety and depth of real car paint, the effect is stunning and mind-blowing.

There is no need for paint at all because the effect is not achieved through that, but rather with specially formed wrapping cut to fit the SUV’s body panels. The wrapping uses the same electronic ink technology that is used in electronic readers. The coloured panels were precisely cut to match the shape of the SUV’s body panels, and electric wiring was then attached to each section.

Millions of tiny capsules, each containing negatively charged white pigments and positively charged black pigments, cover the panel surfaces. Electric currents drive one pigment or the other to the surface, resulting in the various shades. When the colour change is complete, the panels retain their tone and do not require any additional electrical charge.

The SUV can be painted in a single colour or in different colours in different areas. Colours can even be changed on the wheels.

The head of design of the manufacturing company, Adrian van Hooydonk, described the BMW iX Flow concept as “an advanced research and design project.” BMW has made no plans to incorporate this type of technology into a production vehicle. However, the automaker did point out some advantages to being able to change the tone of a vehicle at any time.

Top Most Expensive Cars You Won’t Believe Actually Exist
https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/top-most-expensive-cars-you-wont-believe-actually-exist/

As time passes and technology advances, the supercar market grows and grows, pushing the boundaries of innovation, engineering and style. If you have bottomless pockets then the list of cars available to you is endless. The cost of some of these staggeringly expensive vehicles isn’t the only thing that’s eye-watering, and some of the specifications will blow your mind. Here are five cars you won’t believe actually exist. And unfortunately, you’re unlikely ever to see them on the road>> Top 10 People Who Own the World Most Expensive Car

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
This supercar is valued at £1.7 million – 925 million naira, the Veyron Super Sport is one of the cheaper cars on the list. Only 30 versions of this 1,200 bhp monster were ever made. Despite being one of the cheaper options (if almost £2m can ever be considered to be cheap), the Veyron is also the fastest, with a top speed of 267 mph making it the fastest production car ever. In fact, the Veyron is so fast that in order to stop the tyres from completely disintegrating, it is electronically limited to 258 mph.

Ferrari LaFerrari
The Ferrari LaFerrari is so good that they named it twice. With 950 bhp under the bonnet, it can reach top speeds of over 220 mph on a track, meaning that this car is the ultimate rocket. Each unit of the 499 that were built costs well in excess of £1 million – 544 million naira but, for a car of this pedigree and speed, this is hardly surprising.
Also known as the F70 and the F150, it was originally rumoured that the LaFerrari was designed to weigh under 1,000 kg as part of the Millechilli Project. This rumour, however, proved unfounded, with the completed LaFerrari having a dry weight of 1,255 kg.

In spite of this, the weight has clearly not impacted LaFerrari’s speed, with the car reaching 62 mph in under 3 seconds and 124 mph in under 7 seconds. What’s more, if you’ve got a sudden need for speed, the LaFerrari can get you to 186 mph in 15 seconds.

All of this means that the LaFerrari can complete a lap of the infamous Fiorano Test Circuit in under 1 minute and 20 seconds, making it the fastest road-legal Ferrari ever produced.

Lamborghini Veneno
Meaning venom in Spanish and Portuguese, the Veneno is a mindboggling crazy car. With a top speed of 220 mph and 740 bhp under the bonnet, it’s almost as powerful as the LaFerrari, making speed its primary feature.

If you thought that the LaFerrari was expensive, however, then think again. Only four of the Veneno’s were ever made, and all three production models that were made available to the public were sold immediately.

Designed and produced to mark the 50th Anniversary of Lamborghini, each of the three cars was red, white or green, with each colour representing a segment of the Italian flag. Car Zero, as it is known, is housed in the Lamborghini museum. The price for one of these three pieces is €3.12 million – 1.44 billion naira.

Lykan HyperSport
The Lykan HyperSport is the first supercar to be produced in the Middle East, and it is the third most expensive car to ever be made. In total, seven units of the car will be produced, with each one costing $3.4 million – 1.4 billion naira

The car is not yet complete, but the first HyperSport was on display at the Dubai Motor Show in November 2013… and it looked stunning. Its looks and its exclusivity, however, are not the only draws, as it is quicker than both the LaFerrari and the Veneno, with a top speed of 245 mph.

The car’s price tag comes from the optional extras that it includes, with the car boasting holographic displays, a bejewelled interior and diamond or ruby headlights. The most staggering part of it remains that, at that price, people are still placing deposits for their piece of motoring history.

Pagani Zonda Revolución
The Pagani Zonda Revolución has all the power of a supercar with all the engineering skills of a Mercedes. The aerodynamic technology involved is intended for Formula One cars but, when you have 800 bhp under the bonnet, you need the support for that kind of power. A high price tag may put it out of reach to all but a few collectors or celebrities, but the fact that Pagani has stopped building Zondas means that it’s pretty much out of reach for everyone else as well. The Revolución, we’re told, will be the last Zonda off the production line, meaning that it’s the end of an era for this true motoring classic.

Only 5 of the Revolucións were ever built and they went on sale at a hefty €2.2 million – 1.02 billion naira plus taxes. Still, as you would expect, all were sold immediately, marking a spectacular end to the Zonda era at Pagani. It’s what a car this great deserves.

So, there you have it, five of the most impressive, expensive and fastest supercars ever put into production. We can’t believe that some of these actually exist, can you?

No one decides to start a company and not succeed at it. Whether it’s transportation, manufacturing, distribution etc; everyone wants to succeed and make a profit. However, anyone who succeeds at running their company knows some secrets that others don’t. The same applies to running a logistics company. There are certain things you must know before you start a logistics company. In this article, carmart.ng brings you things you need to know before starting a logistics company.

To start with, what’s a logistics company like…

Logistics Company
In these days of E-commerce, the online space is the go-to place for many people to shop for the things they need. Hence, once an order is made online, there is a need for the purchased goods to get to the final customer. This is where a logistics company comes in.

Logistics companies are a part of the supply chain management responsible for ensuring goods and services from sellers get to their final consumers. Some call it a delivery business while others call it a transportation business. Either way, at the heart of the logistics business, is moving goods from manufacturer or supplier to the final users.

Following the wake of Covid-19, the logistics business is now a very profitable business anyone can venture into. According to data from Allied Market Research, in 2017 the global logistics market was valued at $7.6 billion, and it’s projected to grow to almost $13 billion by 2027.

So for anyone desirous to start a logistics business, here are the things you need to know;

Pick A Niche
Develop A Business Plan
Most companies fall because they have no plan. Developing a business plan will serve as a good road map for the logistics business you are trying to build. Your business plan should be a comprehensive document showing how you intend to run your logistics business, your goals and objectives and how you intend to achieve them. A well-written business plan also opens you up to funding opportunities. The information that should be in your business plan are:

An overview of your logistics business
Executive Summary
General company description
SWOT analysis
Market Research
Your Strategy
The Team
A marketing plan
An operational plan
Financial projection
An appendix
Funding And Investment
Money is an essential part of starting and running most businesses. The same applies to starting a logistics business. How much money you need depends on the niche you decide to operate in. The funding required for an international logistics company is way higher than a local. You have to be aware of the estimated amount you will need to start, at least. After knowing this, the next question is how do I get the money? If you are self-financing, that’s great! But if not, you need to develop a strategy to secure investments or get loans from the bank.

Licences And Permits
You should also bear in mind that you will be needing certain licences and permits to start your logistics company. The requirement varies greatly depending on the regulations of the country or state you want to operate in. For most regions, they require you to get a business permit and certain tax forms for you to legally operate. Additional licences and permits may also be required.

Pricing
To make profits in your logistics business, then you need to price your services well. Usually, the right price should cover all your expenses and also leave some profit for you. Remember, you are not the only logistics company in town, hence, you will need to reasonably fix your prices while also covering all your expenses and making profits.The logistics business is quite broad. Unless you have a huge capital, you might not be able to venture into all of it. So, when starting out, you need to find your niche. Do you want to be a local logistics company? Or an international one? Local logistics companies typically transport goods to a particular region or country. Whereas, an international logistics company offers their services at a global scale. This often involves air-based delivery or sea shipping.


Competitors
You need to be aware of the direct competitors of your business i.e those offering similar services as you. Your competitors are trying to convert the same customers you want. Hence, you need to study them and know their strategy. This way you are able to come out with a better plan/service/strategy that earns you a larger market share and makes your logistics company more profitable.

Office Space/Location
You will need to have a location to establish your logistics company. People are likely to believe you are credible if they see an address of where your company is located. Choose an area that is easily accessible and good enough for your business.

Insurance
You will be needing insurance cover as you start your logistics business. Remember, the goods you are delivering are not yours; hence if something happens to it along the way, you will be held responsible. In some severe cases, you will be required to pay the full value of the goods that got damaged. Therefore, get insurance cover as you start your logistics company to avoid unpalatable situations.

CONCLUSION

Logistics companies have a high tendency to be profitable. To be profitable, bear in mind the major things stated in this article and implement them.

Ride-sharing services like Uber go beyond taking your passenger from one destination to another. Preparing for any situation and keeping your vehicle in Sterling condition is also important especially when you want to give your riders a memorable experience and get that 5-star rating.

There are some must-have tools and accessories that will make you feel more comfortable while on the ride with your passenger. They will also ensure that your passengers get nothing but the best user experience from you. They are as follows;

A Phone Mount:
This is one of the most important things to have. A phone mount serves more like a security device than a phone holder. It is best mounted in a place where you can make a quick glance at it without getting your eyes off the road. The main benefit of having your phone stuck up on your dashboard or windshield is simple because you would not feel comfortable having to look down at your lap for directions every 30 seconds. This is a tremendous benefit to your safety and that of your passenger. Another benefit to this is that it can improve your rating. Passengers appreciate being able to see the directions too as you drive and they feel safer with a driver who has both eyes focused on the road while following the right way.

Multi-Chargers And Charging Cables:
There is a probability that if you have been driving for long hours, your passenger would ask for a phone charger. Having a good one is important for keeping your own device online for long hours and it is also a great way to offer something extra to your passenger. Many passengers would truly appreciate this and give you a 5-star rating just for that little gesture.

Air Freshener:
The first thing passengers will notice when they enter your car is the smell. There is nothing worse than shutting the door and being hit with the odour of the driver’s onion-heavy lunch or the lingering tobacco stench that clings to their clothing if the driver is a smoker. A bad-smelling car puts you on the fast lane to a low star rating. It is strongly recommended that you keep either a can of air freshener in the trunk for a quick refreshing interior spritz, or buy a fresh scent dispenser that attaches to one of the air vents. Some passengers may be allergic to certain strong perfumes, so it is suggested you go with a subtle light scent or a fragrance-free deodorizer.

Cleaning Supplies:
Humans are generally messy creatures. Drivers may sometimes eat their meals in their cars and even passengers too may want to eat in your car. Beverages spill, sandwich contents ooze, and salad dressing can splatter, especially when eating in a moving car. It is a good idea to keep a supply of paper towels, napkins, and other cleaning supplies like a carpet stain remover in your car or the trunk for both you and your passengers. Apart from paper towels and napkins, having sanitary wipes can come useful for a quick wipe-down of your dashboard and steering wheel before picking up your next passenger.

First Aid Kit:
When behind the wheel, you are exposed to different emergencies. The way you respond to them will go a long way in determining your riders’ appraisal of your performance and professionalism. A passenger will appreciate your gesture and swift response if you can disinfect a wound on the spot. The kit will also prove useful in the event of a minor accident. It may be what you need to save your passenger’s life. So, you have a lot of reasons why you should have this life-saving accessory in your vehicle. It would not be okay to keep looking for first aid items during emergencies. Get a first aid kit from a local pharmacy if your vehicle does not have any. That will save you a lot of stress and could help you avert some dangers, such as loss of life.



Led Flashlights:
Searching for a lost item in the dark can be challenging but with the aid of a LED flashlight, you can search effortlessly. This is very important when you need to drive around at night. The flashlight can be handy if your car breaks down suddenly. You need it to look around and possibly find and fix the problem. Without the light, you will be in a problem. Keep the flashlight where it would not constitute a problem during the day. Your trunk or glove compartment will be perfect for the safekeeping of this accessory. You can easily have access to it whenever you need it.

Throw-Up Bags:
Since Uber drivers work at night also, they should have a throw-up bag in their vehicle. You also need it if you work on weekends when passengers go to clubs. Some passengers drink more alcohol than they can handle before booking a ride and may want to throw up instantly. Working drivers at such times have to deal with drunk passengers. Sometimes, such a passenger may throw up in your vehicle and make a total mess of it. It will take you some time and effort to clean up the mess. A simple throw up bag will save you from such mess and the stress of cleaning up someone else’s vomit. These bags are cheap and very helpful when such unplanned emergencies come up.

Floor Mats:
Car seats are not the only accessories that can make your car look clean and neat. Floor mats play a significant role too. Passengers may bring in the dirt when coming in especially on a rainy day. The floor mat will collect the dirt for easy disposal. It also serves as a protection against spilt food or drinks. If you do not have floor mats in your vehicle, the spillage will mess up the vehicle floor in no time and cleaning would not be so easy. If you have a couple of these mats, you can always change a dirty one and replace it with a clean one until you have time to wash it. This will ensure that your car is always in good condition. You should consider buying rubber floor mats. They are easy to clean and quite affordable. You can take them out when they are dirty and spread them after cleaning. These types dry quickly after washing. So, you can use them as soon as possible.

Seat Covers:
One way to keep your vehicle looking clean is by taking care of the seats. As passengers get in and out of the vehicle, they bring dirt in. Without the seat cover, you may have to clean the car seats several times a day which can be stressful. However, investing in a seat cover makes you rest assured that you would not have much cleaning to do. Seat covers help to keep the seats clean. They protect it from dirt so that the seat is always clean. Make sure to dust the seat cover after each drop. They are also useful in bad weather, such as rain, and dust storms. Just imagine the amount of dirt you would have to deal with if you pick up passengers in such terrible conditions. Especially if you do not have something to protect your seat. It is advisable that you go for high-quality covers. It is always worth the investment as low-quality ones will get torn easily and they will make the riders feel uncomfortable.



Lint Rollers:
Some passengers leave strands of hair behind after getting down from your vehicle. Some may come with furry pets like cats and dogs. Removing hair from your vehicle can be a huge challenge if you don’t have the best hair removal tool. Lint Rollers are designed to make it easier to remove such hair within a couple of seconds. A lint roller will help you to clean some hard-to-reach parts of your vehicle. The area between the centre console and the driver’s seat is one of such places where it will be useful. Get this simple accessory and you would not have to worry about pets and hair passengers may bring in.

Liquid Detergent:
In case you cannot get a throw-up bag just yet, a bottle of liquid detergent or water with soap should be a part of your accessories. When drunk or sick passengers throw up in your vehicle, you want to have something you can use to wash up instead of looking for the nearest car wash to clean the affected places. If you are far from the nearest car wash, having detergent will save you from the pain of driving around with a messed up vehicle. Clean your vehicle immediately before you hit the road again.

GPS:
Ride-sharing can take you to places you do not know too well. Instead of asking your passengers for directions to the place you are going to, you should have a GPS that can guide you all the way there. This will save the stress of having to navigate your way to your passenger’s destination and make riding much faster.

Car Trash Can:
Passengers appreciate the extra attention to details such as putting a trash can in your car. Plus, sometimes passengers leave junk and trash in the back seat and have nowhere to throw their wrappers but if they see the trash can, they will surely drop it in there and this will keep your car clean.

Dash Cam:
A dashcam serves as a CCTV and is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy, both for yourself and your car. It will also discourage any bad behaviour from the passenger and act as an objective witness if you are ever involved in a collision or some other incident on the road.

This Rolls-Royce Boat Tail Possibly Owned by Jay-Z and Beyoncé Just Made Its Public Debut, The boat tail, which cost roughly $28 million and is said to be owned by JayZ and Beyonce, made its first public debut in Lake Como in Italy. this Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is a unique four-seater tourer that, according to the British automaker, is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a destination in and of itself. Rolls-Royce Wraiths, Cullinans, and Phantoms are popular among affluent purchasers looking for opulent automobiles. However, in an era when these models have grown very popular, folks with tens of millions of dollars now desire more than an industrialized luxury. They want an automobile like the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, which is inspired by vintage Rolls-Royces and superyachts like the J-Class.

Following the unveiling of the Sweptail a few years ago, there was a strong drive in Rolls Royce to return to coachbuilding, and the company is now back to its iconic historic trade. The new Rolls Royce Coachbuilding section gives Rolls the opportunity to create magnificent masterpieces like this new Boat Tail. This first project took four years to complete as well.

A TwinTurbo V12 engine makes an undisclosed amount of power under the hood.

The Boat Tail was commissioned by a client and is 19 feet long. It is based on a racing yacht. A wraparound windshield and a two-tone blue exterior are nice touches. Then there’s the gorgeous wood “boat tail” and the hand-painted dark blue hood. The roof also features a retractable canopy that may be used to conceal the interior’s two-toned blue leather and lacquered wood veneer. A champagne fridge, silvery cutlery, two cloth tools, two cocktail tables, an umbrella, and other interesting accessories are included.
