How The Jeep Got It’s Name

How The Jeep Got It’s Name
 by: Al Carl

Where did the name come from? Not from the original designer and builder, the Bantam Car Company. It wasn’t Willys, the famous manufacturer of the Willys MB, either. Ford didn’t pick the name when it was making the GPW, and the U.S. Military never designated the term either. Truth be told, no one knows for sure just how the name “Jeep” came about, but the one common thread is that all of the theories relate to a sort of general population adoption of the term.

There are a number of theories on the origination of the name. There are reports that the term “Jeep” was used in Oklahoma in the 1930’s to describe specialized trucks used in drilling for oil, and that was how the term was later used by those from the area in describing the Willys MB.

Others believe that the name came from a slang abbreviation of the term G.P., which was an acronym that stood for General Purpose vehicle. The trouble with this theory is that the term General Purpose was reportedly used to describe the US Army’s quarter-ton reconnaissance vehicles, and not the Willys. Further, the Willys MB was designated for specific duties and was not referred to in Army circles as a General Purpose vehicle.

Bob Crowley and his wife, Teresa, were proud of their silver Honda Accord. Despite living in the city and parking their car right on the street, their ‘98 Accord was nearly free of dings. The finish looked just as good as when they purchased the car. How could this be possible? With kids playing stick ball, tight parallel parking, air pollution, and pigeons that frequently splattered cars up and down the street, no car was immune from the regular insults of urban living. For the Crowley’s it was no mystery: a custom fitted car cover was placed over their Accord whenever it was parked to give it maximum protection. For an investment costing less than two hundred dollars you can protect your car too. Please read on to discover all the advantages of utilizing a high quality car cover.

It?s One Thing for People to Buy Your Product or Service, but It?s Another for Them to Tattoo Your

William Harley and Arthur Davidson, both in their early twenties, built their first motorcycle in 1903. During their first year, the company’s entire output was only 1 motorbike; however, by 1910, the company had sold 3,200. Movies such as Easy Rider made Harleys a cultural icon and soon the company attracted people who loved its bad-boy mystique, powerfulness, rumbling voice, distinctive roar, and toughness. It sounded like nothing else on the road, and even Elvis Presley and Steve McQueen longed to ride one.

The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has had its ups and downs, and at times, the downs seemed as if they would end in bankruptcy. In the sixties, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha invaded the American market, and when sales at Harley-Davidson dropped drastically due to decreasing quality and increasing competition, the company began to look for buyers and was finally sold. However, the new owners of Harley Davidson knew little about how to restore profitability. The quality became so bad that dealers had to place cardboard under bikes in the showroom to absorb the oil leaking.

You stepped onto the break but it was too late. You tried to avoid the other car but unfortunately you hit your car into a post.

Anne Bridgeton was accustomed to taking her ‘99 Camry on weekday excursions from her home in the Kentucky foothills to her job some thirty miles away. By traveling along narrow, twisting back roads and avoiding the interstate, Anne’s trip took an additional fifteen minutes each way but it was a small price to pay as one of the benefits included viewing a bucolic landscape replete with farms and forested areas, and pocketed by small stores. Somehow the sterile scenery of the interstate was more unnerving than calming, even unsettling at times. Besides, no tandem trailers took the Kentucky backgrounds unlike the interstate which was full of them. Staying out of their way was the chief reason Anne avoided the interstate.

Neon Car Lights, What The Kits Include And What To Look Out For When Purchasing

Neon Car Lights, What The Kits Include And What To Look Out For When Purchasing
 by: Antonio Gabellone

When purchasing Neon Car Lights for your most loved vehicle, there are a few things that you need to be aware of so that you don’t get burn and end up with less then what you started with. I’m mainly talking about the quality of the lights and where you got them from.

A lot of the Big manufactures of neon car lights like Plasmaglow, Streetglow and Liteglow are the only brands that I would recommend when it come to choosing your lights. By purchasing from one of these makers you can be assured of quality parts and performance, and not to mention getting everything in the kits that is required to do the installation. Yes, some cheaper makers of these car lighting accessories do not give you everything that is needed in the kits, so be aware of this, or else it will end up costing you more to get the extra bits required.

Environmentally Sound Automotive Air Filters

Environmentally Sound Automotive Air Filters
 by: Matthew C. Keegan

When I explain to someone that there are several lines of vehicle air filters available that are environmentally sound I usually receive a quizzical look back from that person. For some motorists the idea of environmentally compatible automotive parts is a foreign concept to them. Yet, when you think about it many parts that come standard on just about any vehicle qualifies for that title. A catalytic converter is one part that everyone knows about, even if they don’t understand exactly how one works. So, exactly what is an environmentally sound air filter? Let’s take a closer look for all the details.

As you probably know the air filter that comes with your car is made predominately of paper with plastic molding holding the filter together. If you change the air filter at recommended intervals - once a year is common - you can easily go through 3, 5, or even 10 or more air filters depending on how long you keep your car as well as how many miles you put on your car. All of these air filters end up in your trash and then go straight to the dump. The paper in the filter will probably disintegrate quickly, but the plastic sits in place perhaps for thousands of years.

Motorcycle Shipping Vs. Car Shipping

Motorcycle Shipping Vs. Car Shipping
 by: Maricon Williams

Two of the most widely used vehicles are cars and motorcycles. The problem now is that they are entertaining qualms about shipping. How different can is each from the other?

More and more people are fascinated by bikes - sports bike, touring bikes, big bikes, dirt bikes and a lot more. Name it and you’ll find a community for that! Car fanatics also share the same plight. Nonetheless, let us discuss the difference between the shipping.

Car has handbrake and four wheels for extra stability. It is different for motorcycles in the sense that it only 2 motorcycle parts to make it stable- the two wheels and the stand. Perhaps you are thinking that motorcycle shipping is cheaper because it is far too small compared to cars but this is not true in the real case.

Motorcycle shipping uses closed carriers. These carriers are usually same size with the room for cars when shipped. They have specially designed palettes for the purpose of shipping. In addition, these make shipping service a little high. However, if you are clever in asking for discounts, you’ll have your motorcycle or car at a minimum cost. So, the best thing to do is to look around for a reliable shipping company that transports safely and offers a reasonable shipping cost.
