You can instantly cool down a car that has been sitting under the sun by rolling down the window on one side and opening and closing the door on the other side five to six times.

Your car remote can lose synchronization with the car and become useless if a button is pressed more than 256 times when the remote is out of range.

The ignition on all Porsches is located on the left side of the wheel. This is because back when Porsche was primarily a racing team, the driver could save a fraction of a second by starting thecar with his left hand, while simultaneously switching the car into gear with his right hand.

Baltic Ace was a car carrier, a roll-on/roll-off ship designed to transport vehicles in a large, fully enclosed garage-like superstructure running the entire length 148m (486 ft) and width 25m of the vessel. She had eight cargo decks with a minimum free height of 2 metres (6.6 ft). Two decks (3 and 5) could be hoisted up to increase the clearance of the decks below to 4.8 metres (16 ft) for large vehicles. Her car capacity, measured in RT43 units, was 2,132. For loading and unloading cargo, Baltic Ace had a stern ramp for normal ro-ro berths and a stern quarter ramp for harbours with no specialized cargo handling facilities.

On December 5th 2012, the car carrier Baltic Ace collided with the Cyprus-registered container ship Corvus J in the North sea, 65km from Dutch coast. The Baltic Ace sank in 15mins, with a cargo of over 1,400 cars. 13 of the 35 crews survived the accident, making it one of the worst auto transport disaster in history
About a year later 2013, she was raised/salvaged as she was laying in one of the world's busiest shipping lane in the world which provides access to port of Rotterdam with almost 540,000 litres of fuel and hindering the swift and safe passage of marine traffic.

Your fuel gauge tells you which side your gas tank is on.



If you're driving a rental or other new-to-you car, you may not know which side to fill up on. In newer models, car makers have begun to include a "secret triangle" to show you just that. Next time you hop in the car, look onyour car's fuel indicator for this small arrow beside the gas pump icon. This is an easy way to show drivers which side to pull up to the pump.

Following

One horse does not have one horsepower.


The number of "horsepower" that comes advertised with your vehicle represents a basic unit of mechanical power that can be assessed in various ways. Some technical ones involve converting one horsepower to 745 watts, or in a physical conversion, 33,000 foot-pounds of torque per minute. By these measurements, a real horse averages only about .7 horsepower.

Your car is an elaborate puzzle of parts.


Estimates show that the average car has about 30,000 parts. It might seem incredible, but when you start counting things like side panel pins and interior handle screws, you can see how the numbers can start to add up. That's a lot of little pieces to put together.

Oya run, go ask the dealer

Keeping a full tank keeps your car healthy.


Experts that are familiar with the common fuel injection system will tell you that running out of gas can cause serious fuel line problems - and that running low can be detrimental, too. Running out of gas in a fuel injected car can allow small particles of dirt and rust that are concentrated at the bottom of the gas tank, and when the fuel pump sucks them up, some of that dirt can work its way past the fuel filter, into the injectors. A clean fuel filter and new filtration technologies can help to minimize the dangers of running consistently low on gas.
