Worlds Smallest Car

Jeremy Clarkson takes the world’s smallest car for a terrifying test drive on England’s busy A3 highway in this hilarious Top Gear episode. Built with a four wheel, all-terrain drive train, the P45 comes complete with turn signals, lights and a license plate that makes it technically legal to drive on all major roads. I just can't imagine driving it during rush hour on the Kensington Expressway!

Must Have Creature Comforts for Your Next Car, Part 1

 In the Buffalo area, heated seats are great. What I did'nt realize was that heated seats have been available in cars since the 1960's, but remain an optional creature comfort for most models.

What may change their status from optional to standard is the introduction of cooled or ventilated seats in cars. For now, heated and cooled seats are part of option packages. For example, in the Buick LaCrosse, they are part of a $1,300 option package with leather seats and other upgrades.

Heating and cooling functions are typically paired. In the summer you will not need heated seats but may well appreciate the cooling effects of ventilated seats when hotter temperatures prevail.
