Some people think that tow hitch receivers are there to receive
the hitch for towing. To them, the receiver without the hitch is
a vacant space preferably with an unassuming cover over it to
keep out dust and dirt. Other people see the gap as an
opportunity for creative expression.
Now, the dark horse of towing is hardly likely to express
himself on a tow hitch cover. This man is a mystery, and the
black rubber plug protecting his receiver is an enigmatic
reflection of that. What do you know about a man with a black
rubber tow hitch cover? Nothing. And he likes it that way. This
man keeps to himself at tailgaters. It is hard to tell which
team he supports, if he does, in fact, support any.
This man will not be invited to join the festive bunch of team
supporters good naturedly fighting over whose collegiate hitch
receiver cover is the triumphant one. Now, collegiate hitch
covers, at around $20 each, offer more variety than you would
ordinarily imagine. There are the classic team names on plain
black enamel backing for the college team supporter who likes
clean lines and will one day live in a sparsely furnished loft
in a sophisticated urban environment.
Then there are the college logos in raised three-dimensional
designs that portray the team animal in an intense splash of
color against a heavy metal or pewter background. Tailgaters
with these logos are unabashedly competitive. They thrive on it.
They search for receiver covers that are as provocative as
possible and guaranteed to lure the ill-fated competition out of
its lair.
Tailgaters with military hitch receiver covers form an orderly
group on the far side of the parking lot, well away from the
college rabble-rousers. These vehicle owners are comfortable
around authority, precision and order in any form. Their
receiver hitch covers portray their air force, marines, army or
navy loyalties without beating around the bush.
They're straightforward, dependable types who like hitch covers
that are constructed out of durable materials symbolizing the
qualities central to their beliefs. Military hitch covers are
designed for maximum strength and usability out of non-corrosive
metal alloys with a weather hardened enamel colorfill. They are Well Made and serious and have little in common with a
neighboring group of tailgaters.
This group is comprised of strong individualists that believe
that their tow hitch covers should reflect their convictions as
well as attract attention. Their hitch covers are all completely
different. Some portray chrome eagles in flight, others sinister
skulls with eyes that light up. There are mythical creatures
like dragons, cobras and emblems like the solid Maltese cross.
Another group of tailgaters take rugged individualism a step
further. They never buy anything from the regular outlets. Their
hand crafted tow hitches have 'custom' written all over them in
invisible letters. Typically they are happy to pay more for the
privilege of being truly unique. Some hitch covers bear
photographs of loved ones, company logos or favorite phrases in
personalized lettering, colors and designs. Others are molded
out of superior quality chrome and shaped into graceful animals
caught in motion. There is the image of the delightful, askew
outhouse with tethered horse dressing up a receiver hitch as
well as an elegant sailboat in full sail, and bull riders,
cowboy hats and numerous others.
Hitch receiver covers attract attention so it's worth the extra
money to buy the locking device that stops them from wandering.
As fashion statements go they don't cost as much as other
attention getting methods. Most quality covers made of aluminum,
cast iron or metal alloy are available for anything from $20 to
$30 with the truly classy ones out of almost indestructible
steel coming in at just under $50.

Used car dealer, NJ drivers see the value of the Nissan Cube
Design has never been an important part of buying a car for me – that is, unless you're talking about design that contributes to functionality. In terms of having a flashy, attractive looking car…well, that's a great extra, but for me it's all about buying a car that works for what I need it for, regardless of how it looks. Buying Nissan in NJ is also a regular activity of mine, and some of what the popular brand is putting on the market soon has been intriguing to me. There is at least one car that you won't find at your NJ used car dealer this year, and it's the 2010 Nissan Cube, one of the strangest looking cars on the market with appetite for utility.
The Nissan Cube is definitely a blocky looking hatchback, and you can tell that it's been imported from an Asian country because, well, that's the kind of design you could only get away with in a culture entirely different from ours. Still, fans of Nissan in NJ are wondering if the release of the Cube on U.S. shores could have future implications for design in the auto industry. But where the Cube really pays off is in ease of use and utility, two of the areas that I value the most as a driver. You won't find anything quite like it at your NJ used car dealer, which means you also won't be able to enjoy this kind of functionality in any used car you're thinking of buying.
In terms of height, the car offers tons of headroom for maximum comfort. Oh yeah, the width isn't too shabby, either. All in all, cargo room is certainly accommodated for when you are driving this Nissan in NJ. The doors swing open wide, revealing nearly shapeless seats, and the giant rear hatch makes it laughably simple to load cargo into the utilitarian vehicle. This is the kind of car that will actually get you places with your stuff, even though it looks like a box on wheels. Just ask any NJ used car dealer: the practicality you get from a Nissan Cube blows every other car on the market completely out of the water, scouts honor. And if you don't believe us, then you should go in and give her a test-drive.
The interior of the Cube is simple and minimalist, a fact that helps drive an even bigger appreciation for what the Cube does in terms of practicality. It's great to see such an innovative car rising in the mainstream, especially one that hit it big in a country that is so different from ours. This isn't the only differentiator that Nissan has in its arsenal, with electric models getting set to hit the big time in the next couple of months. The Nissan Leaf, coupled with the Cube, should help change the way we view our driving experience. It's good to know that automakers like Nissan are trying to change the industry for the better.

What is the meaning of the label "Horn OK Please" on trucks in India?
I noticed that pretty much every truck seems to have that written on their rear hatch. What do they mean by that? To please honk your horn so that the driver knows you're there?
trucks are overloaded and they are huge as compared to the size of cars....so its written there so that the driver comes to know that u need space to go ahead because the trucks are not allowed to go fast even on the highways!
Monoposto driver falls out of car - Brands Hatch 28/03/10
David Zindell brings his own style and imagination to The Silver Sword," an epic fantasy that is reminiscent of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. This revised version of an earlier British edition is a sequel to "The Lightstone" but I read it on its own and was able to get into the plot quickly and become thoroughly engrossed. The battle of good versus evil plays out in a grand scale, full of adventure, passion and daring escapes.
The world of Ea has fallen under the power of the sorcerer Lord Morjin. Only one thing can defeat him, the Lightstone. Valashu Elahad, the seventh and youngest Valeri prince, leads six companions on a quest to find the gold cup they call the Lightstone. They trace it to the great library of Khaisham, but their pursuit only leads to a reproduction. Weary and wounded, they must continue searching and look in Argattha, an ancient underground city once ruled by Morjin, the evil Lord of Lies. There they will face their greatest battle yet.
Though the premise is familiar, a group of flawed individuals on a quest to secure a magical artifact before the enemy, I enjoyed this tale for the well done setting and the sympathetic characters. The author is good at world building. It was easy to visualize the setting and the story is filled with interesting people of different cultures. He cleverly uses minstrels' songs to get across the history and traditions. The action never stops as the travelers continue their quest. Valashu is a strong and complex hero, motivated by duty and destiny. He narrates the tale and he and his companions come to life on the pages. The emotional descriptions made me empathize with them in this beautifully told story with a fabulous finish.
