The body of your car is made up of plastic, steel and fiberglass sometime. There are some advantages and disadvantages of each material and it is compulsory to care for all kind of body parts. Plastic is flexible, durable, and can be molded into complex shapes unlike steel. Steel is cheap and strong, but can rust when unprotected. Rust is the most common problem in all kind of automobiles body because the rust can work from inside of the body of the car and it’s too late to show up once

. Mostly rust proofing is applied while building the car and the new cars are built with very good rust proofing but the olds cars can rust easily. You can use the new full body kit for preventing the rust for your car.

Make sure you have a reputable shop do the repair work and insist on original equipment parts.  The original parts are very important for the automobiles because the duplicate and cheap parts can be failed anytime and can harm other parts. Cheap import parts can put you and yo

ur family at risk. The car requires a good paint and coat of wax. The wax should have UV protection just like the sunscreen you use at the beach. The suns UV rays are your paints worst enemy. You should park your car in the shade whenever possible.

There is some prevention which can help you to protect your car and it will shine for a very long time. Rust proofing is an option but if the rust has already started just covering it will not stop it and the existing rust should be removed first. Th

e first one is for protecting the paint of your car. You can wax your car and this will keep the car paint protected but the other sides of body cannot be protected through wax. The inside is often neglected on older cars. One should wash the underside of the car while washing the car and it is essential during winter for washing out the salt used to melt the ice on the roads.

One should make sure that all drain holes around the hood and trunk are clear.  Because of these holes the water can exit and the trunk and the hood will remain safe of the rust. Also check your weather stripping around all openings for rips and tears.  Water will sneak in where you least expect it and eventually rust away your car.

You should use the exterior body parts for the total prevention of rust because the new parts are specially designed for keeping the car rust free and safe. These car body kits can be purchased as full kits or separately. These parts are strong and can improve the beauty of the car such as carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk, fiberglass hood, fiberglass trunk etc.

As if it isn’t bad enough that we have to hear about people crashing and annihilating these wonderful creations, now they are standing by and watching them go up in flames.  It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just one or two, but “10 vehicles have been reported to have either been crashed or caught fire within three months”, according to Sky News.

When the Ferrari 458 Italia was launched in spring earlier this year it sped to success, partly thanks to the high praise given by the usu

ally pretty sharp and over-critical Jeremy Clarkson and partly because of its devilish good looks. The 458’s fiery temperament surprisingly has nothing to do with the numerous stories that have flooded the papers and spread like ‘wildfire’. It’s the “mysterious jinx”, according to the Daily Mail website, that has plagued three unfortunate supercar owners.

Ferrari’s have always had a reputation for being ‘hot’ but recently the ‘Ferrari on flambé’ is becoming a serious problem, so

serious in fact that the Italian automaker itself is now investigating the cause of the reported conflagrations.

Perhaps the Italian marque needs to take a drive down memory lane and start creating new models like the sturdy classics from the past, to prevent owners of these supercars having to witness the site of their beloved, expensive car burst into flames.

“One of the all-time greats”, is how Jeremy Clarkson described this sizzling supercar, but perhaps these flame-boyant motors shou

ld come with a fire warning – or at the least a fire extinguisher!

There has been so much speculation and hype about the true identity of the Stig with the Top Gear show even staging a fake unveiling on their hit BBC show, which saw Michael Schumacher revealed from under the trade mark dark visor as the ‘fake Stig’.

One of the rumours surrounding the anonymous Stig is that the secret identity belongs to a racing driver who was a stunt double for James Bond. Despite these latest assumptions, the BBC insists The Stig’s identity remains a secret.

I

t’s one thing being a man of mystery but there comes a time when enough is enough, and according to the Telegraph website, Top Gear’s “famously incognito tame racing driver has locked horns with the BBC because he wants to write his ‘tell all’ autobiography”, this would of course reveal his true identity and put an end to the mystery of The Stig.

Only a limited number of people involved in the show know the true identity, including Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. The spe

edster has been a hugely popular fixture of the show since 2003, but it seems he is finally frustrated at missing out on the Top Gear merchandising bonanza.

The Daily Mail website has revealed that the company that shares the Top Gear dividends with the BBC is reported to have had a £24 million turnover last year, which is one, if not the main reason Clarkson and the rest of the motley crew don’t want to end the air of mystery that surrounds this elusive character.

I’m not sure Top Gear c

ould rely on the success of Clarkson’s mug as the face of Top Gear, and not even the slightly cuter features of Hammond, the show heavily relies on The Stig’s anonymous mask to draw in the ratings and keep people guessing.

A lot of die-hard car aficionados refer to the Pontiac GTO as the original version of the true muscle car. The reason behind this is that Pontiac did not follow the big-bodied and massive makes of other manufacturers when they designed their muscle cars. This kind was intermediary in size and did not also belong to the heavy weights that curtail the power and speed of a true racing car.

In the 60s, there were the Fords, GMs and Chryslers but the Pontiac GTO quickly rose to the top as on

e of the premiere cars in its class. Its appearance suggested ultimate comfort and style and many other manufacturers soon found themselves using the GTO as the ultimate benchmark when designing their cars. That is why in the succeeding years, the big-bodied designs were given a total make-over.

The original Pontiac GTO was introduced in 1964 and it went through 6 generations before being retired in 1974. According to legend, the Pontiac stole the name GTO from the Ferrari 250 GTO, which was al

so a legendary classic car.

When Pontiac designed the Pontiac GTO, it emerged with a 389 V8 engine that had quick steering, dual exhaust and came with premium tires. After a while, the GTO added another model in its category that had a 325 bhp, single 4bbl card. With this in mind, they just projected to sell around 5,000 vehicles but ended selling close to 33,000 units!

After the final GTO was rolled off the assembly line in 1974, it was re-launched 30 years later in 2004. Pontiac had high ho

pes for this launch, hoping to sell upwards of 17-18,000 units, but the American consumer did not take to the new model like the manufactured had hoped. Over 40,000 GTOs were produced from 2004-06, when production ceased due to declining sales.

While the new GTOs received a lukewarm reception, the older models will always be considered true American muscle that captured both the hearts and minds of millions of Americans from a nostalgic and bygone era.

American classics are known for their distinctive beauty and brawn but are best known for that infamous muscle power. The concept of a muscle car is simple, you take a small car and add a big engine in it, none of this sophisticated chassis, engineering integrity or lithe appearance – just sheer demanding strength.

America has produced some of the most incredible classic cars throughout the most memorable eras, including the Cadillac Eldorado’s and Ford Mustang’s of the 60s’s to t

he Chevrolet Chevelle’s and Dodge Challenger’s of the 70’s.

I’m pretty sure that the reason America doesn’t have roundabouts is because their muscle/classic cars are designed for straight-line speed not sharp bends or corners. The popularity and performance of these classics speak for themselves but the thing that sets them apart is that they depreciate less rapidly than your modern car and then begin to appreciate until the asking price is anywhere between 10 to 100 times more than the o

riginal price of the car.

Distinctive innovative style and trend-setting design are what American classics are most recognised for as well as the affordability and street performance that appealed to the younger target audience. The UK never really took to the American classic market, but you can see that there was a definite influence on some models we still see today, such as the Ford Capri and Vauxhall Firenza.

If you want to see some real metal marvels in this country all you only have t

o go to one of the numerous shows held throughout the UK, such as the Beaulieu International Autojumble where you can see some of the brightest, boldest wackiest and weirdest American motors on show.

This type of lens has a similar light absorption with green lenses, but absorbing more blue light than the green lens. Brown lenses have a greater effect on color distortion than gray lenses and green lenses.
