Adding a bit of flair will encourage you to spend more time outside and  allow you to appreciate California's beautiful climate!

How to Properly Test Drive a Used Car

When test driving a used vehicle, it’s always best to take the car on both local roads and highways. In different environments, you can get a good feel for how the car responds and performs. On local roads, you can feel how the car shifts and responds to sharp turns. You’ll also get a good idea on the condition of the brakes with stop-and-go. With a trip on the highway, you can note if the engine runs smoothly or not. While on a test drive, keep your eyes and ears open. Make sure to note any unusual engine noises and whether or not all of the electronics in the car are working properly.

Vent Windows

Vent or “wing” windows were popular in the pre-air conditioning era of automotive manufacturing. They were convenient for many purposes that are still valid today. For example, on days when it’s cool enough to open windows rather than run the A/C, the vent windows allowed air to circulate freely without it streaming in your face or messing up your hair. Smokers also appreciated being able to flick their ashes out the “no-draft” without the fear of them flying back inside the vehicle. Did you have a vehicle with vent windows? What did you think of them?
