Rinspeed UC — Brand New & Compact!

January 30th, 2010 — 12:00 am

uc22-630When  you think about Sweden, what is the first thing that comes to mind?  For me — it is the chocolate, however the brand new Swiss design Rinspeed is actually one car that is getting noticed a lot more than I think that it should.  Not only is it one of the compact cars that Europe seems to love but it — okay, it does look a little cool and a little chic bit how about the Fiat 500?

What’s the difference?  To me, I don’t see a whole lot of difference, however the Rinspeed is supposed to have the brand new lithium ion battery pack from LiTec and is supposed to actually run about 65mph, which for a completely electric car, that is pretty good.

I guess — if you want a decent little Swiss car that is going to get you around, the Rinspeed should work for you.

winter_drivingWinter – oh, the lovely, lovely snow is something that I look forward to every single year is something that I absolutely hate driving in.  If you are like me and you are one of the snowy, snowy states you might not be aware of some of the winter driving tips that can really help you avoid ending up on the side of the road in an accident.

One of the first things that you need to do is make sure that your speed is normal or even slow.  Going slow on icy and snowy roads will definitely ensure that you are not only safer.

You also want to make sure that you keep your lights on and your windshield cleaned, as you want to ensure that you can see everything coming at you.
