futuristic vehicle and graphical user interface(GUI). intelligent car. connected car. Internet of Things. Heads up display(HUD). How has technology impacted the automotive industry? Well, in addition to changes in convenience (like powered windows, heated seats and advanced music options), we’re seeing many new types of technology pop up on the horizon. (By types, we’re referring to things that add convenience, but also might be too advanced for the road.)  Technology in cars has drastically evolved in the past 30 years. We’ve gone from AM/FM radios being the “gold standard” to Bluetooth-compatible media systems. But perhaps one of the most interesting developments has occurred in the way we access our vehicles. That’s right—we’re talking about car keys.    It’s crazy to think that some people have started driving without ever having experienced physically putting their keys in the ignition and turning it. Gone are the days where a manual turn and lock situation was the norm. Now you can use your phone to unlock your vehicle (and maybe even start it up). Since we’ve been talking about technology in cars, let’s examine the evolution of the key.   Keyless entry in automobiles has only been around for about 30 years, first appearing in the 1980s in vehicles like the Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar, Continental Mark VI, and Lincoln Town Cars as a Keyless Entry System. In its initial debut, keyless entry was a simple keypad on the driver’s side door that would open specific doors depending on what code was entered.   Fast-forward to the mid-to-late 90s. Smart keys were slowly introduced to the automotive market that allowed people to start their cars without actually placing a key in the ignition (though most smart keys incorporate some sort of backup manual key ignition sequence should the key fob fail). Now all you have to do to start a car is press a button.   It only makes sense for car key functionality to continue developing as technology gets more and more advanced. We can’t help but wonder what car keys will look like in another 30 years. Will they resemble the keys we currently know?   Explore a variety of of vehicles @ www.bidgodrive.com Read the full article

Few things get a pickup truck driver's attention faster than feeling the tires slide on a snow-covered road. The heart skips a few beats. Adrenaline levels spike. Palms get sweaty. And it all happens in a second. For seasoned winter drivers, maybe this situation doesn't happen often. But for other drivers it's unnerving to feel your pickup instantly transition from in control to out of control. How you respond will determine the final outcome. Will it be a panicked survival response or a thoughtful, logical reaction? Our first piece of advice is to stay cool. When you stay calm and understand the basic principles of driving on slick surfaces, most bad situations can be kept under control. Most driving instructors emphasize that vehicle control is predicated on driver patience and vehicle balance. Good winter drivers take their time and keep their eyes focused as far down the road as possible so they have time to react to changing conditions. Steering, accelerating and braking smoothly while making fluid transitions in vehicle speed or direction, and keeping the vehicle's weight balanced over those four tiny patches of rubber on the ground is extremely important. You should either brake or turn but never try to do both at the same time when the roads are slick or icy. Brake first, slowly and cautiously, then lift off the brakes and turn, straighten the wheel, and then accelerate slowly and cautiously. Another tip we received was to intentionally reduce the steering angle of the front tires if they slide while trying to make a turn. Counter intuitive? Definitely, but we learned that straightening the wheel even slightly can be a life saver in winter driving. Additionally, reducing steering input and backing off the throttle helps sliding tires get their grip back and start rolling again, gaining traction on the slippery surface again. So here are basic winter driving rules: Brake. Steer. Accelerate. All separately, all smoothly. And don't let the fact you have a 4x4 pickup get you in trouble. Overconfidence is not your friend. Four-wheel drive helps slightly while accelerating, but the heavier mass could easily be a liability when it comes to the laws of physics in steering and braking. And this is especially true when your four-wheeler is running wider, heavier, mud-type tires. Wide mud tires provided the worst winter traction possible. We discovered tread types can play a huge role in control on plowed roads. The best traction by far comes from dedicated studless snow tires. The worst traction comes from mud-terrain, larger-lug, high-void traction tires, which have about half the stopping or acceleration performance of mud- and snow-rated street tires (similar to those that are standard on most pickups). Generally speaking, all-terrain tires are only slightly better than street tires. The key here is to choose your winter tires accordingly - or drive with a clear understanding of the trade-offs. When the pavement turns white, or is covered with a sheet of ice, be cool, be smooth. And pay close attention to what's happening ahead of you so you have time to make whatever driving adjustments are necessary. Click Here to view our inventory of PICKUP TRUCKS Read the full article

If you’re too far away to look at the vehicle in person, you can still have the vehicle inspected for you! We allow third-party inspection services to inspect vehicles for potential buyers, so don’t hesitate to find an inspection service to check on the vehicle for you. It’s up to you to do your own research when buying from online salvage dealer, and you need to make sure you know as much as you can about what you’re buying.

Wrap Up So, if you’re thinking about purchasing a car from out of state, you’ve got a few things to consider. Keep the above things in mind to make sure you’re factoring all associated costs into your budget, and make sure you know as much as you can about the vehicle you’re interested in before buying so you won’t get caught by any hidden surprises. From everything from  your next daily driver to a stockpile of used auto parts for your project, we’ve got what you’re looking for. Read the full article

Getting an auto loan for a rebuilt title car on your own can be tricky. Many major banks won’t provide financing for a rebuilt title. When you take out a car loan, the lender is agreeing to share a stake in the vehicle with you until you’ve paid off the loan completely. Many lenders may not be willing to take the risk with a rebuilt title car. If you are planning to find a loan on your own, your best bet is likely a smaller bank or local credit union, especially if you already have a relationship with an institution like that. If they provide loans for rebuilt title cars on a case-by-case basis, you’ll have a better shot at making your case if you’ve got an established relationship, or a stellar credit score. If you can’t find an auto loan for a rebuilt title car, another option is to take out a personal loan to finance your purchase. Unlike auto loans, personal loans are unsecured, meaning your car doesn’t serve as collateral for the loan. Because of this, personal loans have much higher interest rates than auto loans, and will cost you more over the life of the loan. What to bring? In deciding whether to write a loan or not, lenders are going to assess their risk level. So it is to your advantage to bring with you everything you have that will help convince them that you are a low-risk borrower. The two most important pieces of evidence in your favor are going to be the above-mentioned mechanic’s statement and your credit rating. It also wouldn’t hurt to show evidence that you have a clean driving record as well. You should probably bring along a statement from your insurance carrier indicating that they are willing to insure the vehicle (we are referring here specifically to a rebuilt car. No insurer is going to write a policy on a salvage before it has been repaired). If you have been able to convince an insurer to write you a policy on the car, then you probably have a good chance that a lender will also be willing to write you a loan for it. Buying a salvage or rebuilt title can be a good way to get a second car, especially if you don’t mind having a project. But if you’d need to take out a personal loan to get one, or if you’re not sure you can afford any necessary repairs, you may want to think carefully about whether this is the best move for you.

As Daylight Savings Time ends, the days get shorter and drivers start their commutes home in the dark again. According to the National Safety Council, 50 percent of traffic deaths occur at night, despite the fact that nighttime driving accounts for only a quarter of all driving. As it gets darker earlier and we move into rainy weather, the roads become slippery and visibility is compromised. If you recently purchased a salvage car from Bidgodrive.com, we recommend these maintenance tips to stay safe on the road this fall. Perform a seasonal inspection When buying a salvage car it’s important to consider that it may require maintenance and repairs before you get going. So, inspect your car and make sure it’s road-ready by doing the following: Make sure that the battery is in good condition so you don’t get stranded Check the tire pressure Clean the headlights, mirrors, and windows Inspect the demister and windshield wipers Make sure you have a stocked emergency safety kit in your car These are standard things you should check, but they play a bigger role in safety when the weather turns for the worse. Tend to your tires The Vehicle Safety Council states that tires lose about 1-2 pounds of pressure every time the temperature drops 10 degrees. This can result in poor handling and performance and increases your risk of getting into an accident. Extremely low tires can even cause a blowout. When you drive on a wet or slippery surface, your car needs more distance to come to a stop. The last thing you want is to brake late and veer off the road into a ditch, but you can avoid that by making sure the tires are fully inflated for better traction and handling. Adjust for darkness Before getting into your car and hitting the gas, you should wait a few minutes and let your eyes adjust. Also, make sure that your car’s headlights work correctly. Don’t ever use your high beams in fog, it’ll further reduce visibility. Be prepared for inclement weather Driving across a wet and slippery surface can hinder your car’s traction and ability to turn smoothly, so adjust your driving accordingly. Slow down if you find yourself in a rainstorm, even if you’re in a hurry. Remember that the risk of an accident isn’t worth the possibility of shaving a few minutes off of your commute. Avoid driving through flooded areas as high water can damage your car’s components. Fog can be a severe hazard. If you can’t avoid driving through heavy fog, consider the following precautions. Slow down and set your headlights to low beam or fog lights as soon your visibility drops below 300 feet. This way you’ll avoid the ‘white wall’ effect and minimize the risk of running into something that’s shrouded by the fog. Use your brake lights to warn drivers behind you that you’re slowing down.
