CHECK AND CHANGE YOUR COOLANT
As you drive, especially in very hot or very cold climates, you are going to need to make sure that you have enough coolant or antifreeze in your car. This will keep your engine from freezing or over heating, which can cause a lot of damage and very expensive repairs. It’s very important preventative medicine for your car. If you had to, you could use regular water to cool your engine, but more often than […]
ELECTRIC CAR IS SO YESTERDAY
What’s lighter than a Honda Motorcycle, gets you high, and has caught the FAA’s attention? The electric plane, that’s what! A team of high school students from here in Las Vegas have built a 2 seater plane that can go 200 mph and flies at 1000 ft. These kids are really something, they’re not old enough to drink yet, but they are causing the FAA to take notice. These Rancho high school students were picked […]
DISCOUNTS, DISCOUNTS, DISCOUNTS!
Insurance, it’s something we all need to buy (sometimes because it’s good to, and sometimes because it’s the law), and yet, while we’re paying every month, we’re hoping to never have to use it. There isn’t much in life that you pay for but don’t want to use. So if you could spend less every month, without having less coverage, wouldn’t you want it? Of course you can shop around for different insurance companies, and […]

LANE LUCK
There is this little thing that some people have, and some people don’t. I like to call it lane luck. If this phrase doesn’t immediately bring thoughts of traffic jams in your head, then you might be one of the blessed few that possesses this gift. It’s not something you can teach a person, you either have it or you don’t. Still confused? Let me explain… Picture this: you are driving on the freeway (or […]
WATCH OUT FOR CARS …and people on the sidewalk too!
Most people are aware that pedestrians have the right of way, especially pedestrians. Unfortunately, people forget to look out for them. Obviously if someone sees a person in front of their car, they’re not going to hit the accelerator, but if they forget to look out their windshield, they will never know if anyone is there before they hit the gas. Now, that’s not to say that pedestrians always have the right of way. […]
WASHING AND WAXING YOUR BOAT
As if owning your own boat wasn’t enough trouble, sometimes it gets dirty too. It’s kind of counterintuitive when you think about it, I mean, they’re in the water, shouldn’t they be self-cleaning? Since this is not the case, boat owners have to either clean their own boats or hire someone to do it for them. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult. The first thing you will want to do is hose off any loose dirt […]

Rental Car Coverage
It’s happened to all of us. We go on vacation, we rent a car, and then we get asked the dreaded question: Do you want to buy insurance for your rental car? We want to answer no because we think our insurance covers it, but what if we’re wrong? What if something happens and we’re responsible for all of it? That’s a lot more vacation money than was planned for. Ironically, even if one were […]
