There's load's of stuff to be carried. Cycles, kayaks, skies, tents, fuel cans, camp chairs and not forgetting vehicle accessories required to pull the vehicle out of tough spots - in fact, a family outing into the Australian outback would probably be carrying enough luggage to fill a mini-van. Fact is, a roof rack can come handy even during routine shopping expeditions e.g. buying a ladder. You can't shove a ladder into the car it will have to go onto the roof.

This is supposed to be part of the low air pressure in tires warning system. These RFID chips are keyed to the VIN number of the car if the tire is original equipment with the new car. The VIN number of course leads to the registration information. Add in roadside monitors for RFID chips which are already in place in parts of the USA and you have the plot. Of course the government is genuinely concerned that you might be driving around with low tire pressure. It seems there are not enough cars with GPS systems to enable easy tracking of cars. Wal-Mart is another RFID disaster. If you buy some items it will have an RFID chip embedded inside the item making removal difficult without damaging the item. If you pay by check or credit card this item through the RFID chip can be associated to your identity li...

A replacement transmission is when you replace your old or bad transmission with an entirely new transmission. Some might refer to this as a re-manufactured transmission as well. Keep in mind, if your car is more than a year or two old, any new transmission is actually a re-manufactured one. Rebuilt transmissions are not new transmissions, but may have new or used parts that have replaced worn out or damaged parts. A rebuilt transmission still has old parts functioning in the transmission, but the transmission has been rebuilt on an assembly line by replacing at least two or more parts of the transmission. It is important for car owners to distinguish between these two concepts, especially when it comes to making a decisi...
