County’s Annual ‘Cruise To The Show’ Parade And Show Success BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The county’s 6th Annual “Cruise to the Show” Parade and Car Show was held on Saturday, Sept. 26, and Sunday, Sept. 27. Following an exclusive MOPAR/ JEEP show, a live concert was held at Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre, featuring John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party, a tribute to Buddy Holly. On Sunday, the seven-mile parade kicked off at Briarcliff College, parading down Hempstead Turnpike, to Eisenhower Park. Immediately following the parade, the car show opened, featuring more than 2,000 automobiles, trucks, military vehicles and emergency service vehicles on display. Many of Long Island’s race, performance and restoration shops were in attendance. Special guests included Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) and Pat Priest (Marilyn Munster) from the hit American television sitcom The Munsters, as well as Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker, Marty McFly’s girlfriend) from the movie Back to the Future. On display, courtesy of the Autoseum, was Herbie the Love Bug, Knight Rider, Dragula and the 1966 Batmobile. The 6th Annual “Cruise to the Show” Parade and Car Show was made possible through the generous support of our many partners including Pole Position Raceway, Sarant Cadillac, Westbury Jeep, Levittown Ford, Hurricane Wings, Automat Auto Customizing, Man-Products, Movin-On Sounds & GPS, Nassau Fire Apparatus, Mobile Fleet, Grand Prix Subaru, King O’Rourke Buick, King O’Rourke GMC, Pursuit Auto Works, Gliptone and WBAB Radio 102.3 FM.

Safety First With Fall Car Care

What you should know to get ready for winter Conducting routine maintenance on your vehicle is necessary to maintain optimal performance and prevent costly repairs. As colder weather approaches—and with it the potential for treacherous road conditions—giving certain areas of your car special attention can also protect your safety. “Getting your vehicle ready for winter while temperatures are still mild is a proactive approach to preventive maintenance that helps ensure safety and reliability when severe winter weather strikes,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. The following tips will help you learn how to care for the systems and features most likely to affect your safety as winter approaches. Learn about the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair, and order a free copy of the council’s Car Care Guide, at www.carcare.org.

Brakes The brake system is a car’s most important safety system. A faulty brake system may impede your ability to safely slow your vehicle in inclement driving conditions or avoid an accident. Brakes sustain normal wear and eventually need to be replaced for both performance and safety reasons. Ignoring routine maintenance and letting brake pads wear too thin can lead to costly rotor and drum replacement, in addition to compromising your ability to execute a sudden stop safely. • Have your complete brake system thoroughly inspected annually and replace equipment as needed. • If your car is pulling to the left or right, or if you hear odd noises when you apply the brakes, you should have your brakes inspected. Other warning signs include an illuminated brake warning light, brake grabbing, low pedal feel, vibration, hard pedal feel and squealing. • Don’t overlook the parking brake, which also may require adjustment or replacement parts.

Wheels and Tires When roads become wet or icy, the right wheels and tires can help ensure you have the traction you need to maintain control. Maintaining tire balance and wheel alignment reduces tire wear and improves handling and fuel economy. Tire replacement is necessary if the tread depth is below the minimum legal requirement, or if the sidewalls are severely cracked or

punctured. In addition, normal wear and road conditions can take their toll on your car’s steering and suspension system and disrupt the alignment, which in turn reduces optimum handling. • Use the “penny test” to check your tread; if you see Lincoln’s head above the tread, you are ready for new tires. • Have your car’s alignment checked at least annually or at the first sign of improper handling or uneven wear. • Check inflation pressure at least once a month (including the spare) and once per week in the winter. • Rotate and balance tires every 6,000 miles to avoid accelerated wear on shock absorbers and struts.

Battery Your battery should be securely mounted, with connections clean, tight and corrosion-free. If the battery is three years old or more, it should be tested and replaced if necessary.

Headlights Headlights play a major role in safe driving; the chances for accidents increase if you can’t see or be seen. The lighting system provides nighttime visibility, signals and alerts other drivers, and supplies light for viewing

instruments and the vehicle’s interior. • If there is any doubt about whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on. • Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights clean. External dirt and debris can dim operational lights, making it difficult to be seen by others. • Make sure your headlights are properly aimed. If they aren’t, headlights blind other drivers and reduce your ability to see the road. • Don’t overdrive your headlights. You should be able to stop inside the illuminated area; otherwise, you are creating a blind crash area in front of your vehicle. • Replace dimming, rapidly blinking or non-functioning lights immediately, but check first to ensure a loose or faulty fuse isn’t the source of the problem.

Windshield Wipers The wiper system keeps excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on the windshield, maintaining clear visibility. Many factors can accelerate the replacement of wipers, including operating conditions, frequency of use, material and type of wipers and weather. • In general, replace blades every six months or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering. • Be aware that some vehicles have two washer fluid reservoirs. Check levels monthly and use washer fluid only; do not use water.

Maintenance Checklist Whether you do it yourself or take

your car to a professional service technician, the Car Care Council recommends these basic maintenance procedures to keep your vehicle operating at its best: 1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/ coolant. 2. Check the hoses and belts for signs of damage or wear. 3. Check the battery and replace if necessary. 4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change. 5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an unusual noise. 6. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting. 7. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually, including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components. 8. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. 9. Check the wipers and lighting, including both interior and exterior lighting, and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation. —Content provided by Car Care Council

Safety Features In Your Car That You May Not Know About BY ROBERT SILVERMAN

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Today’s vehicles come with an abundance of new features and technologies that can aid drivers, make passengers more comfortable and provide real-time information about a vehicle’s health. Most importantly, many vehicle technologies today are

designed with safety in mind and have the potential to save lives. The trouble is, too many drivers do not realize these features exist or know how to use them to their full potential. A recent University of Iowa study found 40 percent of drivers have been startled or surprised by something their vehicle has done—a troubling

finding given that car crashes are a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. “Technology can be a game-changer when it comes to safety,” said Deborah A.P. Hersman, president and CEO of the National Safety Council. “In order to fully recognize the benefits of these new systems, drivers need to be aware of them and also understand their limitations.” With this need in mind, NSC partnered with the University of Iowa to launch “My Car Does What”—a virtual owner’s manual that demystifies the latest, most cutting-edge vehicle features. The campaign’s website highlights technologies such as: • Back-up cameras that provide a view of the blind zone directly behind the car when the vehicle is in reverse • Blind spot monitors that alert drivers when something is in their blind spot • Forward collision warnings that warn drivers when they are closing in on the vehicle ahead too quickly • Automatic emergency braking systems that apply the brakes if the

system detects an imminent collision • Anti-lock braking systems that prevent wheels from locking up, helping to avoid uncontrolled skidding and providing some steering control in slippery conditions • Rear cross traffic alerts that warn drivers if traffic is approaching from the left or right when the vehicle is in reverse • Adaptive cruise control that maintains the speed set by the driver and a pre-set following distance • Lane departure warnings that alert drivers if they drift into another lane when the turn signal is not activated. “The driver will always be a car’s best safety feature; no technology today will change that,” Hersman said. “But these features can help mitigate errors before they result in deaths and injuries.” Visit www.mycardoeswhat.org for a full list of vehicle safety technologies, explanatory videos, graphics and articles. —Robert Silverman writes for Statepoint
