My brother-in-law Andy owns a Prius, and has been bragging to me about how much he loves his car. From the sounds of it, he has made a good choice for his family. There’s a website I’ve discovered recently that specializes in electric and hybrid parts and accessories. I was looking through the website earlier today and found some great innovative products that I want to tell Andy about that he could get for his Prius to make it run better and get better mileage.
There is a kit for sale on the website that makes the car use electric only up to 34 miles per hour. It only costs $69.95 and is easy to install. How can you beat that? You can’t!
They also sell a grounds systems that improves the torque, response, starting ability and mileage. That only costs $109.99! Those two products alone will improve mileage, and if you combine the two, you are spending less than $200 – certainly a very wise investment!
For a little bit more money ($224.99) you can buy a Hyper Voltage System that will increase horsepower and increase mileage at the same time!
The website also sells Green car care and natural cleaners to help keep the car looking good without further polluting the environment with harsh cleaning chemicals. All in all, this is a good website to turn to if looking for products and accessories for electric and hybrid cars.
Well I tried to stay out of my wife’s way for most of the day so she could get her cleaning done. When I got home this evening, ready to eat supper, I found her sitting on the kitchen floor, trying to take the vacuum cleaner apart. It seems that the beater bar/brush unit misteriously quit working and no matter how many times she hit the reset button it wouldn’t restart. So she was trying to find out why. She couldn’t find any screws to loosen, and she was quite frustrated. Well, I sat down on the floor with her and after a few minutes I figured out how to take that thing apart and we determined what the problem was – the motor to the brush/beater bar was clogged with dirt and dust from over the years. So we cleaned it up and put it back together, and now it runs like a champ! So I am the hero of the day!
My wife was lucky to have worked at a furniture store when she was in her early twenties and she had bought a few things with her employee discount way back then. One of the things she had bought way back in the 70’s was a sleeper sofa. In the early 90’s (or maybe it was the late 80’s) she had it re-upholstered. That is all well and good, but that upholstery job has started to show its age and now I think it is time we replaced that old sleeper sofa with a new sofa.
I’ve always been quite partial to Leather Couches. I like the masculine feel of leather. I’ve heard that it is really a “tough” material that lasts a very long time, and if families have children and/or pets, that they are a smart investment. My wife has said that she would enjoy buying one of the newer styles of reclining Sofas, but she can’t decide what size to get. I know she is thinking about fabric Couches instead of leather, because she said that she heard that leather is “cold” and uncomfortable to sit on. So it seems we have some negotiating to do! When we figure out what we want, we’ll be shopping online at the buycouchesonline.com website. They have a great selection, great prices, and offer free shipping, plus no sales tax! I’m sure we’ll find what we want there!
When my wife and I got together and we combined our households, I had very little furniture. I moved into her house that she had been living in for years, and her house was fully furnished. Most of her furniture is comprised of family heirlooms (the “polite” way of saying “hand-me-downs.”) Some of her furniture had actually come with the house that she bought, left behind by the previous owners. And some of her furniture she had bought over the years as she needed it. Some she bought new, and some she bought used. You could say our house is very “eclectic” in style!
Years of building hot rods and making sure not to miss any details, especially what was under the vehicle, and not just over and around it, I have learned many auto detailing tips such as saving old toothbrushes and dishrags from my mother’s kitchen. Over the years I’ve used many types of compounds, buffing solutions, and cleaning solutions; one of them recently being Black Magic. Of the three kinds that I’ve used, I’ve always enjoyed having a wet shine on my tires. And a dry glossy look on my rims. I’m very partial to aluminum wheels. And they take twice as long as any other type of wheel to keep clean and looking like new. Anybody can clean a chrome wheel and make it look good from two feet away; aluminum requires anyone looking at from six inches away to look like brand new at any given time.
By hiding any type of pits and gouges that can come from the road film and conditions, Black Magic has come a long ways in producing a chemical compound that not only cleans and polishes but almost restores almost any type of aluminum wheel. But back to the few tips; take this one big tip and go down to your local auto store and buy a new electric powered cleaning brush with four different heads. You’ll find your wheels come out immaculately!
