Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
It’s a Dodge Magnum (not the Hemi), on sale at an auction, came very close, it sold on Saturday for $2,200, happy with my decision.
It’s a cool car that needs to be black and a Hemi though. Plus, it’s better suited to being in my dream fleet, as opposed to my daily driver.
His name is Snappy. He’d make a nice purse.
Been saying this forever – if the camera lens is coated in road sludge, it’s no longer a camera (same with the safety aid sensors drivers rely on.)
So where is the washing solution? It’s here.
When you clean the windshield, the camera is also cleaned – door opens, washer pops out and hoses down the lens, pops back in. During a test in Phoenix, it removed shaving cream.
Ford added it to their all-new 2015 Edge.
Nice one guys, sincerely.

Keri on Driving column – Safety Aids are Overrated
With this year’s arrival of the connected car, you’ll soon start to see and hear all about OBDII… On-board Diagnostics, II is pronounced “two.”
Or, plug an internet-enabled device into this port, now you’re driving a “connected car.”
For more details here’s a blog post about them – OBDII Ports
Read it online at Autonet.
It’s the mandatory-since-1996 port used to access the computer in your car, and we’re about to hear a lot more about it as internet-enabled devices start to flood the market and allow us to make any car a connected one.

Also the 7th paragraph, which I filed under Predictions – we will all soon start locking our OBDII ports.
