Car Apparel

No, this has nothing to do with dressing your car up in clothes, though a bra for your car could be a good idea, depending on how far you drive and the areas in which you commute. But no, I am referring to clothes and accessories to wear. Want to show your allegiance to a certain car brand? Or you might just think it looks cool. Whatever your reason to wear car apparel, this section will go over different types of apparel and will include ways to obtain these different types of apparel.

One in particular that I have really gotten interested in is the seatbelt belt. Manufacturers of these products claim that the belt part is actually from the car. To me, that adds to the cool factor knowing that this was actually part of a car once, not just some cheap manufactured belt to look like it was once a seatbelt. But, that is if I believe and trust the manufacturers of the product. It is somewhat disappointing that some car companies’ seatbelts are not available for purchase. For example, I was sad to see that companies such as Abarth, Renault, Ferrari, Lotus, along with other European brands. But there are some other brands that have a strong following, such as Jeep, Honda, Hummer, and others. These are pretty cool accessories, they click shut and to release the belt, you need to push the central button. They are usually a big hit with friends. 

Modifications on a Budget

Have you ever wanted to modify your vehicle? Not completely pleased with an aspect of the car or just wanting to improve the dynamics of the car or truck? Have you wondered what you could do with the money you have? I am a huge car guy and I like modifying, making the car my own and different than others on the road. But being an average college student, I don’t have an unlimited source of cash to draw from to do whatever modifications that I want, I have to limit myself to what I want most out of the car.

Different modifications for the car can be divided into 4 categories; performance, handling, audio, and visual. Depending what you want most out of the car, will determine what you will spend most of your time and money into. If your main priority is to humble the guy in the Vette next to you, or maybe you just want to blow out the old man’s ear drums. While others want to make their car stand out in some way, whether in a good or bad way. It is all a matter of personal choice.

I have been obsessed with cars my whole life and religiously studied them for the last decade. To my friends I am known as the “car guy” and they come to me with their car questions. I try to read car blogs and car magazines every day, and if I don’t, I catch up on Sunday with any car news. I have a close friend that is a car mechanic and I am a member of the SAE club, which standards for Standards of Automotive Engineering. Another great way to learn more is from each other, I encourage any information or questions from any reader. Throughout this blog I will talk about modifications on my vehicle and go through the process for a few of them. I will also have two other sections, car news and car apparel. The purposes of these will be discussed later. Enjoy.
