It’s hard to believe that only a century ago, cars had more in common with carriages of old than they do with the sleek modern vehicles rolling off the assembly line today. However, even in the early days of cars, wide-eyed dreamers used their imagination to paint a picture of what the future of automobiles could hold. If you’ve ever seen pictures of “future” cars from the fifties, you can appreciate how wild that vision could be. But today, we are living in the future, and although we don’t have flying cars, driving has changed in countless ways for the better.

Although it’s only December, we’ve already had our share of winter weather in the Twin Cities area this year. And according to experts, we’re just getting started. If you’re a truck driver without a cover over the bed of your truck, your cargo is at risk of damage due to the winter snow.

A power liftgate? What on Earth is that? It sounds like a workout machine you’d use in the gym, or some kind of extreme or dangerous sport. It is, shockingly, a post-market upgrade for your SUV, CUV or van, and while there’s nothing extreme or dangerous about using it, the benefits for pretty much every driver on the road are pretty extreme.

Don’t cars have rearview and side mirrors for a reason? Moreover, you might fret that drivers will get so used to relying on their backup cameras that they forget to actually look around, or that they’ll become unable to drive without one.
