Beyond Know How

Truck seat covers are about 3/8” thick and most of this due to a foam padding. Now that foam will for sure make your hours of driving more comfortable, but don’t worry because I’m not suggesting you stick a piece of foam over your seat. All truck seat covers have a thin fabric that shows up on the outside of your vehicle’s seat so that you can drive around in style. Especially when you are not sitting in your truck or SUV, or if you have a cover on the passenger seat, it will be visible for all to see, and as we will see in later posts you can even get camo seat covers if that is your cup of tea. I personally prefer the blue camouflage style.  But to each his own, there are many colors of camo material available now, not just the military greens or the blue camo.  I have even seen pink camo seat covers.

There is a lot that you can be spending your money on these days. Food, housing, clothing – all of these are really much more important than anything else in your life. More important that navigational GPS systems, Wiis, Xboxes, vacations, cell phones (like the iPhone), and a many other luxury items. That is why we go out and buy one of these luxury items we want to make sure that our money is going as far as we can stretch it.

That is why buying a refurbished GPS can be a really good thing for someone looking to get a GPS cheaply without having to sacrifice quality. One high quality, cheap GPS is the refurbished Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS. This is a very recent model and has many of the features that people are going to want in their navigation assistant. Turn-by-turn directions, text-to-speech, Bluetooth compatibility, an FM transmitter, traffic information capability – all these features can be found on the Nuvi 760. Its just that by going refurbished you can save yourself some good money.

Scooters have been around for a long time, more than 50 years, and are a popular form of alternative transportation. They are great for getting you around town and to and from work. The main reason they are so popular is their great gas mileage. Many can get over 60 mpg and some even get up to 120 mpg.

There are many different types and sizes of scooters but the most popular size is the 50cc scooter. Motor scooters of that size only go about 30-35 mph but are capable of much higher speeds. Fast 50cc scooters are possible but it takes some modification. Restrictors are used on the fuel line or exhaust pipe to limit these size scooters down to legal speeds where they are used. That is about 33 mph. To get yours to go any faster you have to remove the resitrictor, or de-restrict your scooter. Some garages will do this or you can do it yourself. Just be aware that it is ilegal in many states and look up laws in your area first before trying it.

If you are the owner of a small to medium business, you know how difficult it can be to keep up with all the administration that goes along with being a business owner. You need to be constantly on top of paying bills, wages for employees, invoicing and all the other apsects that come along with running a succesful business.

One of the headaches that seems to be constantly rearing it’s ugly head is insurance. Like most of us, you probably recognise insurance as a necessary eveil, it seems like sometimes you just keep throwing money at these insurance companies with little or nothing to show for it.

If you have 4 or more cars in your business, it can make matters even worse. If the cars aren’t all insured at the same time, you can end up with a new premium having to be paid every few weeks, which can be a real drain on resources. The way to solve at least this headache is to look at fleet insurance. Fleet insurance will allow you to consolidate all of your vehicles insurance policies into one cover all policy. This means only one bill a year (sometimes with considerable savings) and can be a real ease on your administrative resources.
