Motorists who are always in a hurry would try anything to speed up their travel plans and this starts from the moment you want your engine to start running. For some cars, it takes some time for engines to heat up and now, here is an innovative way to go about it with this new remote start interface kit that should go in hand with the modern day models of many 2008+ Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.

This new technology is actually present in the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan which can be remotely started in 28 seconds. But the best part of it is perhaps that it only takes less than 15 minutes to install and only needs 4 wires to be connected. This device is now available for purchase for only $299.

Despite the hard times, getting together for a good cause in the eyes of a child is something that two car giants and a competition winner have done to make a new child-designed playground in one day. More than 1,100 children who attend the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley got a great new place to play thanks to the efforts of Robert Nowaczyk, a Los Angeles County firefighter and winner of the Dodge Ram Challenge.

Dodge donated the new playspace in honor of Nowaczyk who won the Ram Challenge, a real-life, high-energy product attribute demonstration pitting American icons against one another on an obstacle course built in the rough California terrain. Teams of firemen, cowboys, military personnel and contractors were each given a stock 2009 Dodge Ram Crew 1500 to compete against one another in four races and elimination rounds to determine which team could out tough and outsmart the competition.

As the ultimate winner, Nowaczyk won a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 truck in addition to the playground. Nowaczyk selected the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley as the recipient of the community-built playground because the club did not have outdoor playground equipment for the hundreds of children it annually serves.

Throughout the day, volunteers hauled more than 61,560 square feet of mulch — enough to cover 12 regulation-sized basketball courts — by hand in tarps; mixed approximately 14,880 pounds of concrete — equal to the weight of nearly four Dodge Challengers — by hand in wheelbarrows; and assembled brightly colored playground equipment to bring the new play area to life.

Cooling solutions for cars are important. Engines and optimal vehicle performance thrive on the right cooling components and among the latest things you can do to improve car performance would be to check out your radiator.

This is not to say that radiators have to be replaced frequently. But for the people who fail to do the right preventive maintenance measures, radiator replacements would normally ensue. If that is the case, check out what Genesisautoparts.com has to offer. They emphasize on providing quality cooling solutions for vehicles starting off with niche aluminum radiators.

Each ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR is hand crafted with aluminum tanks and aluminum cores hand welded just like the ones used by professional racing teams. ALL ALUMINUM RADIATORS combine heavy duty construction and maximum cooling capacity all in a lightweight package.

Many of the radiators are available in heavy duty 2 row construction and super duty 3 row construction for most demanding cooling needs. Genesisautoparts.com offers ALL ALUMINUM RADIATORS for all types of cars including Ford, GM, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

The alliance entered into by Chrysler and Fiat kicks off with the introduction of 7 new cars in the U.S. market. Four of those auto vehicles will bear the Chrysler brand, while the other three will be Fiats and Alfa Romeos.

But while both parties are excited to inaugurate things, Fiat looms to have its work cut out for them. If many would recall, Fiat had entered the U.S. market 2 and a half years ago and much of the concern was the quality control to which they sorely lacked.

Now the company comes back in the U.S. car market through a deal with Chrysler, the weakest of the big three, but this will only endure if the American car maker manages to avoid collapse.

Chrysler is currently just a $3 billion state handout away from bankruptcy.
