Kick road rage to the curb in 4 simple steps!

You’re stuck in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic.  Horns are blaring, the clock is ticking, your jaw is clenched, and your knuckles are white from gripping the steering wheel.  We’re all guilty of letting road rage get the best of us.  Here are a few easy tips for avoiding it:
 
-Find alternate routes.  Traffic jams and construction cause your commute to be more stressful than it has to be.  Map out a few back-up plans.
 
-Eliminate distractions.  Don’t text, talk on the phone, eat, or let other activities take your attention from the road.  If you’re focused on your driving, you’ll avoid being caught off-guard by other drivers.
 
-Maintain a calm environment.  You can’t control the speed limit, traffic lights, or other drivers—but you can keep your cool by jamming out to relaxing or upbeat music.
 
-Plan ahead and leave early.  One of the primary causes of road rage is running late for something.  Make sure to allow yourself plenty of time to arrive at your destination.
 
In our opinion, the best way to avoid road rage is by driving a car you love.  Check out our extensive inventory of new vehicles and schedule a test drive today!

What does the color of your car say about you?

 
Red: Outgoing and High Energy
There’s something about the color red that just screams “unstoppable.”  It is a dynamic, bold, and sensual color that really sets you apart from the rest.  If you like to be center stage with all eyes on you, get behind the wheel of a spicy red hot ride!
Black: Classic and Elegant.
Black is truly a timeless color.  Not only is it simple and versatile, it is an unmistakable symbol of power.  If you are the owner of a black vehicle, you probably have very classy taste in clothing and appreciate the finer things in life.
Blue: Trustworthy, Calm, and Patient
Much like the ocean on a bright sunny day, blue car owners tend to be cool and calm.  People who drive blue cars are likely to be trustworthy, sensitive, and caring.  They are excellent life-long friends that usually squash arguments instead of starting them.
White: Direct, Organized, and Clean
Those who own white cars tend to be a bit high maintenance.   Generally, if you drive a white vehicle you probably insist upon keeping your office space, home, and vehicle in pristine condition.  White isn’t able to camouflage very much when it comes to mud and dust, so your motto is “cleanliness is next to godliness.”

4th of July Road Trip Tips




Taking a road trip this 4th of July? According to AAA, 84% of Americans will hit the road this holiday weekend. Although this is a slight decline from the 41.1 million people that traveled in 2012, roads will still be crowded. Here are Central Collision Center’s tips to make your road trip easier:


1. Prepare your vehicle ahead of time.
There’s nothing worse than having car troubles in an unfamiliar area. Be proactive and do a routine maintenance check before you hit the road. Things to check: tire pressure, washer fluid, wiper blades, oil and lights (headlights, taillights and turn signal).

2. Plan your stops.
Instead of stopping at the first gas station you see, use the free app GasBuddy to plan your stops for gas. GasBuddy finds the cheapest gas near you. The app can also find the cheapest gas by city or zip code. Bonus: you earn rewards for reporting gas prices.

3. Prepare snacks ahead of time.
Bring a variety of snacks to eliminate unnecessary stops and unhealthy purchases. Pack snacks that will travel well and will please all of your travelers. Some healthy suggestions include granola bars, pre-cut vegetables and hummus, string cheese and trail mix. Granola bars, hummus and nuts are packed with protein, which will keep your travelers fuller longer.

4. Clean as you go.
Don’t wait until you’re packing up to come home to clean your car out. Make cleaning easy by giving each row of seats its own garbage can. Place a small garbage or grocery bag in a plastic tupperware container to make mini garbage cans. The container traps smells and is easy to empty each time you stop for gas.

5. Bring in-car entertainment.
Keeping children entertained is key to a successful road trip. Instead of relying on iPads and other electronics, create interactive games. For example, give each of your children a map to decorate as you travel. Each child can draw his or her favorite site for each state. At the end of the trip, each child's map will be different. Bonus: the maps make great keepsakes and cute additions to photo albums of the trip.

Slow Down and Save!


Happy Monday, everyone, we're almost done! Here's a thought to think of on your drive home from work today:

Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 50 mph. Each 5 mph over 50 mph is like paying an additional $0.25 per gallon for gas!
