4 Ways To Make Your Truck Stand Out



Get Lifted.  Whether you’re rising straight to the top or only going a modest 4 inches, giving your truck a life gives you a whole new way to see the world.

Trick Your Tires.  Whether you’re thinking of semi-truck tires or adding flare with spinning rims, you’ll be rollin’ in style.

Souped-Up Sound.  Amp up your anthems with sub woofers or opt for an entirely new sound system.

Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.  Enhance your ride with LED lighting to add an extra flash of pizzaz.

Support local drive-in theaters!



June 6th is Drive-In movie day, so here's a little history of one of America's favorite pastimes! California's first drive-in movie theater opened in June of 1938 (there were less than 15 "auto theaters" in all of America at that point). Within just ten years, another 43 drive-ins had opened up and California was on its way to becoming one of the top drive-in states.

If you are looking for something new and exciting this weekend then check out this website to see theaters located next to you!

Put down the cellphone: How NOT to become a statistic



Using a cell phone in your vehicle makes you a much more dangerous driver. It’s a proven fact. Motorists who talked on either handheld or hands-free cell phones drove slightly slower, were 9 percent slower to hit the brakes, displayed 24 percent more variation in following distance as their attention switched between driving and conversing, were 19 percent slower to resume normal speed after braking and were more likely to crash.

So for safety sakes, just put the phone down or pull over to the side if it is that urgent. Safe travels!

Thoughts You Have After Buying A New Car



Buying a new car is an exciting accomplishment! You think about great gas mileage, superior technology, and a smoother, better looking ride. It’s what comes next that you don’t expect. Have you ever experienced any of these thoughts after buying a new car?
1. Mmm that new car smell. There is nothing quite like it. You sit in your vehicle and wish it would stay like this forever!
2. “Hmm, we are going to be out of toilet paper two days from now… better head to the store to get some right now.” Suddenly, the most mundane errands don’t seem so bad anymore with your new car!
3. Volunteering to drive places used to be a drag. Now you just want to drive everywhere! A road trip with your friends is definitely in the back of your mind.

Gas saving tips before summer!



The summer months begin in just over a month, which means higher gas prices…well here are a few easy ways to drive more efficiently that will have you making less visits to the gas station!

5.) Make sure your tires are properly inflated. This is a big one. A single tire that is under inflated by just 2 PSI will lead to a 1% increase in fuel consumption. That adds up faster than you would think if all are slightly under inflated!

4.) Remove as much excess weight from your vehicle as possible. It isn’t winter anymore so you don’t need that heavy sand in the back of your vehicle. The decreased weight will make it easier on your vehicle saving you fuel.

3.) Keep your windows closed. Having them open on the highway will lead to an increased amount of drag on your vehicle, making it work harder than it should.

2.) Use A/C sparingly. We know it’s hot, but you don’t need your car to be 70 degrees inside either. Turn the A/C off when you feel comfortable, you’ll still feel fine and keep your engine happy.

1.) Keep the speeds down. We know you want to get places faster, but by increasing your speeds by 10mph you could be using 15% or more fuel consumption. If you don’t have to go 75 mph then we suggest you don’t!
