Why the Britax Frontier 85 over other brands?
A good booster seat should position the lap belt across the upper thighs flat and the shoulder belt resting at mid shoulder. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety the Britax Frontier 85 not only provides this fit in a 5 point harness but it also has True Side Impact Protection making it an IIHS “best bet”.
With the quick-adjust head restraint and no-rethread harness you can easily adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint without disassembly. Another great feature of the wrap around headrest is no more head flopping when your child falls asleep. That is my favorite feature.

Design Race Car Decals
Posted by admin in Design Race Car Decals on January 2, 2011
Although there are thousands of different race car decals out there they all have certain things in common. At least the better ones do. There are some basic guidelines to design that go into any graphic and decals are no exception. Those five guidelines are: lines, shapes, mass, texture and color. Once you get an understanding of how these work you can more critically examine your own work and that of others.
Lines are the first thing to look at. Lines are the starting point of almost any graphic and they offer enormous flexibility and opportunity. They can be the entire subject of a piece or they may be used in the background to create borders. The lines themselves can entirely straight or etirely curvy or a variation between the two. When they are straight, this straightness can produce a feeling of tradition and stability if the lines are at right angles to each other. If they are at offbeat angles to each other they will immediately grab our attention, they are unsettling and can simulate movement. – One reason why diagonals pop up so often in race car graphic design.
Shapes are the next level up. Shapes are made by lines and there are millions of them. That being said there are three shapes familiar to everybody and they are often the building blocks to more complex arrangements. A circle, square, and triangle can be manipulated to produce all kinds of different compositions. Read the rest of this entry »
Cool Your Car in the Summer
Posted by admin in Cool Your Car in the Summer on January 1, 2011
There is nothing worse in the summer than the hot Texas sun beating down on your car. The temperatures can rise to over one hundred degrees in your vehicle. The hot temperatures can wear down the engine faster, fade the paint on your car, and make it unbearable to sit in until the air conditioning cools it down. Having cold A/C is a necessity if you live in Texas because of the hot, humid summers. Here are some tips for keeping your car cool in the summer.
These tips are especially helpful if you do not have air conditioning in your car, truck, or SUV. The first tip which anyone can follow is to park under the shade, even if you do have air conditioning. Parking under the shade rather than the direct sunlight can make a big difference. Being under a big shade tree can cool the temperatures ten to fifteen degrees or more. Even a small amount of shade is better than no shade at all. Finding shade can be difficult sometimes and most trees are on the outer edges of a parking lot. You may have to walk further to an entrance, but when you return to your car the cooler temperature will make the walk worth it.
Another free tip which any vehicle owner can use it to crack the windows open a bit. Doing this can help to ventilate your car instead of having steam or hot air build up in your car. The windows on your vehicle have the same effects of a green house. Opening them up will allow more air to be let out of the car. You should only crack the windows open a small amount because you do not want your vehicle vandalized. If you are afraid of your car being broken into, there are other tips to help keep your car cooler in the summer. Read the rest of this entry »
