JEN 116 Plate

So what’s with that number for? Oh well, that would be my car plate number in the future if I will have my own car. If that isn’t possible then I guess if I’ll have my way I’d ask my mom to have our car number plates personalised just like my sister Joy’s plate number. I think it’s cool to have one since these days; almost everything can be customized so I think why not our plate numbers as well? Jen, obviously is my name while 116 are nos. 11 for my birth month while 16 is my birth date.

I know having a personalised plate number would mean additional expense on our part but I guess it doesn’t matter since our plates will be unique and can be identified much easier. If putting my name of the plate number is kinda cheesy, I know I can think of another a plate sign that will make it personalized. What about JAL 116.. hmm sounds good too, eh

Anyway, personalising number plates has long been popular not just here in our country but in many countries as well. Having one means giving your vehicle a more personal touch like putting your name or any significant word or phrase. It can also start up a conversation when a friend or someone sees it.

We used our van going to the church this morning and we kept on whining because it’s hot inside eventhough the aircon is on. Yay, so we had no choice but to open the windows to let the air in. My bro needs to have it check asap since its uncomfortable to drive w/o ac on. Mom also dreamed of owning a new vehicle and this time she wants a Crosswind. Not so sure where she will get the money to buy but for sure she has some savings that I didn’t know.

Yey, I hope by next year we’ll have a new vehicle already (keeping our fingers crossed). I guess my bro would want to have it customized as well. He’s been seeing nice tail lights, dash kits and truck grills on his friends’ vehicles and I know guys love to dress customized their cars.

How much coverage should you buy?

This is not an easy question to answer. While in the negative it can always be said that you should not just stick with cheap third party coverage, it is not easy to say exactly what you should cover. Should you do collision coverage as well as comprehensive, or should you only retain collision coverage? There are also other types of coverage like GAP, and you should have some knowledge about all of these, and your particular situation, before deciding how much coverage to buy.

If a car is so old or so badly damaged that it will cost more to repair it than to buy a new one, its owner should, or should have, bought gap coverage. If you consider the likelihood of natural disasters in your region to be low, you may choose to opt out of comprehensive coverage. Collision coverage, however, is a must, because when an accident takes place, that is what cars do, they collide. This has more chance of happening to a car than its getting stuck by a lightning bolt, for example; so, in order to gamble less but gamble sure, collision coverage is a must.

If your region has a tendency to produce various so called “acts of god,” like floods, tornadoes, lightning and what not, you will want to consider comprehensive coverage. This takes care of all non-collision accidents like the ones mentioned above.

Finally, it all depends on your particular situation; there are no preset rules about it. The best way to go? Find out a good car insurance agent who talks straight, then talk to him. He will be able to help you out best with how to make a choice in buying coverage.

The Thought of Driving

Posted on : 11-05-2010 | By : admin | In : Car/Vehicle

Driving around have lots of advantages that’s why I see no reason why there are many people want to learn how to drive. Anyone can learn to drive through driving school while some just learn on their own. Whichever you prefer just make sure you are always driving safely on the road and following all the road rules is a must. It’s not only for your  own sake but for all the people on the road.

I guess to be able to learn how to drive, it also requires courage that unfortunately I didn’t have. Shame on me for not pursuing my desire to drive one of our vehicles before for I’m not that confident. Oh well maybe one day, I’ll be able to find that courage and be behind the steering wheels and drive my way to anywhere. I know that driving feels liberating as my cousin who recently just learned to drive a car bec. her husband bought her one. I’m proud of her and in fact she’s been encouraging me as well when she enrolled in a driving school.

Owning a vehicle also involves responsibility of having it registered and insured. Owners can also easily get car registrations number for their vehicles online that can add a personality on your vehicle. I guess you see vehicles with plate numbers with their names on it and that always is cool. Look, I have my name on the plate.

It Needs Some Tune Up

Oh dear the weather is making us crazy lately because of too much heat. Just imagine having temps from 35-37C everyday with matching humidity then probably you’ll whine as well. I just got out of the shower few minutes ago and it feels like I’m inside a hot oven in the house. We have no choice but to drown ourselves with water and turn the electric fan full blast.

Not only humans are complaining but if only machines, gadgets and our vehicles can speak then for they will say that they got hot easily when used. Just last Monday, our Toyota Lite Ace broke down while my BIL was driving it in the middle of the hi-way on their route to the mall. With so much luck, my BIL was able to drive it again and fortunately the timing belt is not the one having a problem but they’ve got an overheated engine which brought the aircon  to shut down as well (yay too hot!).

How’d we wish we have a brand new vehicle, a honda accord is not bad to consider but we still need a bigger van that will carry us all when needed. Right now, my brother will have to schedule our Lite Ace for repair and hope he’ll find one a good one bec. good mechanics and shops are hard to come by but I’ve also learned that searching for Chicago or San Francisco auto repair if you live in that area can be quicker online.

Our second hand van needs some check up and I just wish nothing major repair that will require us to shell out lots of money will surface.

Customizing Vehicles

Posted on : 08-04-2010 | By : admin | In : Car/Vehicle

A good friend of my brother visited him the other day and from time to time I was able to eavesdrop some of their conversations that they had. They’re talking about their family, business and of course cars (what else is new with the boys anyway.) It seems that his friend is encouraging my bro to have our van modified or customized since he knew that my bro already modified his motorbike. I guess my bro is reluctant in doing it on our van since it requires money and that is not on our priority at this time.

Well, I know guys love to talk about their cars and I understand that. I’m not also wondering why there are some guys who collects cars and who’d really shell out great some of money for customization like putting custom wheels, dashboard kits and even those hot and eye-catching lambo doors. Guys are always resourceful and will always find a place like CarID where they can get car accessories and more.

Ford Appeal

Ahhhhh. Driving and owning a car I reckon can bring a whole new different feeling to a person. It’s so unfortunate enough that I can’t drive a car ‘cuz I only can drive a bicycle. Funny! Seriously, I have considered that long before but since I’m a little bit nervous and some negative thoughts are running in my mind so I discarded that wish. I just thought I’ll just use public transport or just hop in the family vehicles driven by my bro.

I know car lovers are always excited to own a new car and purchasing one can bring a whole new excitement. With literally thousands of cars with different models and brands, it’s sometimes impossible to pick in a snap. I guess before buying vehicles, you already know what type you want like a van, truck or simply a car. Just one of many options to consider is ford mustang. With good reviews that you can read online this car will definitely will not be left behind. Their 2010 model will make your hearts pumping for sure as it has a black cloth convertible top and of course other good car feature.

If I decide to own a car and drive for my own freedom, I’ll make sure to read reviews and ask friends/relatives about what type of vehicle will suit my driving needs just in case.

Want an Infiniti Car?

Posted on : 18-01-2010 | By : admin | In : Car/Vehicle

Having a car or any vehicle for that matter is very convenient for every one. We have 2 vehicles (van) and it is only mostly used when we go to our store every morning and going home at night. Though we can still commute and ride the public transport everyday, we still thought having our own vehicle is still the best as it can be used anywhere we go without paying fare or boarding from one bus to another. I just wish that petrol will go down because it’s a bit pain in the pocket plus the maintenance but that’s how it goes when you have your own vehicle.

As much as we wanted to have a car, I don’t see it fitted our big family. However for those that is seriously wanted to own one this year and been eyeing an infiniti all these years, i think this is the time to save and read reviews. I know you’ll drool over 2010 Infiniti FX35 model which is a wagon type vehicle with strong acceleration and high performance.

To help you with your choice of other models, I think it is also best to find photos and reviews online or even ask as friend who has similar vehicle bec. it can also help you to decide if the Infiniti is for you or not.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Us

Posted on : 02-12-2009 | By : admin | In : Car/Vehicle

Just 2 months ago we bought a second hand van for the family and we are a bit lucky to have purchased it because it was just like brand new. The former owners are quite good in maintaining the van so my brother didn’t have lot of things to repair in there. Buying a second hand or brand new vehicle for us to use can be an overwhelming task to do because we have many things to consider.

My brother even has to resort online to look for van for sale and he also consulted us if we want it or not. There’s even a time where he needs to see the actual van and see if it as good as it looks on the pictures.

Most of us also need to consider our budget and our needs fro traveling. Do we need a big car, a mini-van etc.? I reckon it’s always best to look around, surf the net, read reviews and that’s where we can have good idea. If you are planning to buy a toyota car, saab 9-5 or a lexus hs 250h one, don’t fail to stop by at www.thecarconnection.com for an in-depth reviews such as performance ratings, style, comfort and affordability of different car brands/makes.

You’ll find their full review helpful and useful. Aside from that they have photo gallery, car tips/news, classified ads and more.
