Every day we buy and inventory new vehicles. Most of what we get is hand picked from salvage auctions along with some cars we get from private sellers. When we inventory a car we want to make sure our customers can see exactly what their getting which is why you’ll notice that we take a ton of pictures of the car and the parts. Our inventory guy also takes a full walk around video of each car as he inventories it. This lets us be 100% transparent with our customers so that they know as much as we do about the part their getting. Check out the latest inventory videos below to see what we’ve been buying.
Our New Stock Video Round up
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012On star opens their API for third party mobile app developers.
Thursday, January 12th, 2012On star is opening their API for app developers. This is a big step in helping to keep On stars customer base. I believe this is an excellent move on
their part, it will open a whole new world for car and mobile phone communications. This will be another reason to keep your monthly on star service plan. I actually can’t wait to see what apps they will create for it and the integration it will have with your vehicle. I’m sure we can agree on the normal apps for it like locking your doors and un-locking them and starting the car. But I wonder what kind of odd and wacky apps they can come up with. Maybe one that can track your mileage and hours you drive weekly or daily. Maybe playing angry birds on your navigation screen, while parked of course! So It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this but I can’t wait to see what developers will come up with!

Drowsy driving a bad situation for you and other motorists.
Friday, December 30th, 2011While reading my AAA Horizons news paper, I found a great article I thought I should share with everyone. The dangers of driving while drowsy. AAA Reports one in six deadly crashes and one in eight crashes causing serious injury involved a drowsy driver. Now I don’t know about you but I think those statistics hit to close to home. Considering most of us drive to work every morning drowsy and tired and still trying to wake up, it was a bit scary for me to read that. Years ago when my “going out to have fun” time started at 10 p.m. there was plenty of times when I used to drive while sleepy and almost falling asleep at the wheel towards the end of the night. It is a scary situation! I understand no one wants to pull over and take a nap when your so close to home or even when your in the middle of no where But remember it could be the difference between life or death. That 30 minute nap could save your life or even some one else! I can sit here all day and bore you with graphs charts and statistics but I won’t. Better yet I’ll help you recognize the signs of drowsy driving and how to help prevent it.
Signs that you are too tired to drive:
- Hard time keeping your eyes open and having heavy eye lids.
- Trouble keeping your head up.
- Drifting out of your lane, hitting rumble strips.
- Forgetting the last few mile you drove.
- Driving through traffic lights and signs.
- Yawning a lot
Ways to prevent drowsy driving:
- Get plenty of sleep (7 hours is recommended)
- STOP DRIVING if sleepy. When you are that tired you can fall asleep easily.
- Drive during times your normally awake.
- Break every 2 or so hours.
- Drink caffeine, Caffeine takes a minimum of 30 minutes to enter the blood stream.
- Travel with a passenger that can stay awake
- Open your window to get some wind blowing on your face if you start to feel tired
This weeks biggest car news – Ferrari Crash
Sunday, December 11th, 2011If you haven’t heard about this already, this weeks biggest news in the auto industry was this massive accident in Japan that totaled 14 vehicles. This was a convoy of exotic car drivers that decided to go out for a group drive. This included 8 Ferrari’s, 3 Mercedes, a Lamborghini, a skyline and some how a Prius that we assume was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The accident started with a miss calculation from one of the lead Ferrari’s that hit a barrier in the road and started a chain reaction that wrecked over $8 million dollars worth of high end vehicles. This sucks pretty bad for all of these drivers but it’s even worse for the one that started the accident. Our condolences go out to him and his insurance company as they get this one sorted out.
