Innovations in Remote Start Technology You Missed

For drivers who have been on the road for a while, it might be easy to overlook how much things have changed over the years. But technological innovations have completely transformed the driving experience in the past few decades. For example, it wasn’t long ago that drivers were first impressed at the advent of remote start technology. But these days, remote start is fairly common.

Start Planning for Your Summer Road Trips Now

In Brooklyn Park, the weather outside is still pretty frosty. Fun in the summer sun can seem ages way, but it’s closer than you think. With the new year on the calendar, it’s a good time to start thinking about your plans for the coming year. If you start planning now, you can be ready to get in on the action anytime fun comes calling.

How Technology Has Changed Driving for the Better

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.

It's Winter: Time for a Tonneau Cover

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. Waiting until the weather clears in impractical in Minnesota, and covering your property with a tarp is inadequate protection.

Entertain the Kids on the Road with a DVD System

It’s the holiday season, and for millions of Americans, that means loading up the car for a road trip to visit family. For families with children, especially young ones, a long road trip can be a bit overwhelming. It seems no matter how much you plan ahead and no matter how many road trip activities you plan, eventually, the kids end up getting fussy or bored. Having frustrated children in the back seat can be frustrating and pose a safety hazard for distracted parents behind the wheel.

Protecting Your Vehicle From Holiday Theft

The holidays are one of the most delightful times of the year. Friends and family gather together to celebrate and create precious memories. With winter right around the corner, most of us are already starting to stash back holiday gifts for our families this year. But with all of that emphasis on gift-giving on the rise, something else is on the rise, too: holiday crime. In fact, the holiday season is one of th

How a Power Inverter Can Simplify Your Life

If you spend much time on the road, you may know the frustration of getting stuck away from home with a drained laptop and no way to charge it. For Minnesota residents who spend a good deal of time commuting, this can be more than a minor annoyance. That’s where power inverters come in handy.

What on Earth is a Power Liftgate?

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.

The Practical Side to Upgrading Your Wheels

When most people think of wheel upgrades, they think of new rims—that is, those silver bits on the inside of the tire that rotate as your car moves. It’s generally seen as just an aesthetic upgrade. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve the look of your car (in fact, it’s a great way to bring more satisfaction to the driving experience), upgrading your wheels can be great from the economical side of things too, just as much as more “practical” , such as tonneau covers or remote start technologies.

Who Can Benefit from a Tonneau Cover?

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your truck for some time now, in your research you may have stumbled across numerous ads for tonneau covers. You might have quickly clicked past them. After all, wouldn’t you want something that serves a functional purpose, like a car audio amplifier, new wheels, or a new subwoofer? Who needs to spend money on a silly flap whose only purpose is to cover your pickup bed?
