That Benefits Your Vehicle Always Healthy Investment

There are many great accessories for cars that are both efficient and fun. Sometimes these accessories are beneficial to the health of your car. Anything that benefits your vehicle is always a healthy investment. A steering wheel cover may not sound like something that is considered a necessity. However, it really can go a long way in keeping your steering wheel in decent shape. Not only does it protect the steering wheel but it also allows you to be decorative and show off your personality. They are incredibly easy to find, sold almost anywhere that sells auto parts and accessories.
Price is rarely an issue when it comes to purchasing a steering wheel cover. They come in many price ranges from very inexpensive to higher end. Some custom covers may cost more because they are more original than some. You can pick up a decent cover at Wal-Mart for as little as five dollars. Of course, quality is often represented by price so keep that in mind as you do your shopping. The lowest price may not be the best deal if it will not hold up all that long. That does not mean that you will have to buy the most expensive one either. Find a happy medium if that is what works best for you.

Some steering wheel covers are made of soft, stretchy material while others are made of harder material that is more rigid. A more flexible one might be easier to put on. Always make sure to measure your steering wheel before you buy a cover to avoid buying one that does not fit. Even the smallest measurement difference can be a problem and prevent the cover from fitting properly. You may also want to ensure that the material will not rip or tear easily either.
Wheelskins.com is one site where you will easily find the right steering wheel cover for your car. There are so many to select from. You can even get one that is ergonomic and designed for a comfortable feel. A good steering wheel cover can maintain the life and material of your wheel. This is important because it is an essential component of your car. Take care of all parts of your car, not just the engine. Everything plays a vital role one way or another. Take care of your car and have fun doing it. There is no reason not to enjoy auto accessories.

A Brief Snippet of the Report

Add deepening job insecurity into the mix, send the economy into a variety of wild up-and-down motions, and the injustice of it all becomes nearly intolerable.


After all, chances are good you and I didn't make millions or even hundreds of thousands flipping properties, making home loans to people who had no business buying homes or cashing out our mega-buck golden parachutes as CEOs heading up the same failed financial institutions that helped create the situation we're now in.

Still, we're expected to pony up even more money from the treasury (our money), to pay for other people's mistakes, while we're left to continue struggling with our own finances, looking on with deep concern toward what the future brings.

It never should have happened. But it did. It doesn't have to be this way. But it is. You most likely didn't help bring all this about but now you're forced to live with the consequences."

Alan also lays out a number of lies we've all been exposed to most of our lives, and he explains how these lies have so far held us back from true financial freedom. Then he details what he's done over the past 25 years, to continue making better-than-average money, regardless of what the economy might be doing at any given moment.

Even better -- the report ends with an exclusive invitation to work directly with Alan on a project he's taken on. It shows you in detail how you can work with Alan (and with the team of amazingly talented and successful marketing experts that he's assembled to assist with the project) without charging you directly for all the help.

Imagine finally being able to easily build your own business with proven top-flight coaching, courses, marketing materials and complete marketing systems at your disposal, every step of the way -- paying NOTHING for any of it.

The Six Shooter; cool paint, cool custom touches in the engine bay, but best of all is the awesome steering wheel






Cool steering wheel centers that grabbed my attention, the photos turned out well I think





The above turned out best, my favorite among the bunch

breaking the paradigm of what a hot rod dash looks like

Cool steering wheel (it says Studebaker on the center button), cool shifter knob, nice grill under the gauges... this is a well thought out and finished look!


What a cool custom, I've never seen anyone make a steering wheel out of a rim! Great key, and, have you ever seen a B&M shifter on a firewall?


Cool business card too.












Cool tailgate handles


Some unusual rare parts on this roadster.. I was told it's owned by the Lattin family, the Bonneville racers

the red pegasus was the trademark of Exxon Mobil from 1933 to 54.. these headlight eyebrow indicators are the first I've seen



written on the side of the car in the center of the steering wheel... "Hot Rod"

Pierce Arrow speedometer




The Veda Special knock offs? I've never seent hem before, but I speculate that they are from the Orr husband and wife Speed Shop, though a thread on the HAMB talks about Briz Bumpers and Orosco making repops. Veda set the Full Fendered Roadster record at 104.40 mph and later upped that to 114.24 in 1937. She ran 131-plus mph at the wheel of the Taylor-Blair modified and became the first woman to race in the SCTA.

Veda published the SCTA News, and later started her own newsletter as a means of communicating with other racers; however, it wasn't long after its inception that WWII began and many of the racers found themselves in the military and on their way overseas. To keep spirits up, Veda distributed her publication to more than 750 service men all around the world for free and personally corresponded with hundreds as well.

The 2nd annual Cool Classic Car Show, the Studebaker and Pierce Arrow get together









Notice in the below photo an STP sticker on the front vent cap






I don't remember seeing any tachs that actuallu spell out RPM into words before this one













Old decals, gotta love them
Multi colored engine bay, red, yellow, orange and black... quite the variety
With or without front bumpers... I like the look of the without


On the outside of the glove box is the single word, Vanity, and once the door is opened, the "Vanity" is ready for use, because they hadn't yet invented the mirrors on the top of the visors



I don't know what the letters stand for, I can only speculate... the pink color is just reflected from the full sunlight bouncing off the red interior onto the chrome
Such simply stated guages and radio face, how far they've changed since then. Now there are 3 FM selections, AM, XM, Sirius, CD, Mp3, blue tooth, and navigation. I like the look of the old ones a lot more.
Just 1 through 10 on the speedometer, no MPH and KPH nonsense, no numbers on the clock, no amounts to the ammeter or fuel gauges, just the ends of the scale. Cool.




Elegant interior




I like the full length brake lights

What a rare valve cover decal.




These are the instructions for removing the spare tire: "TO CHANGE TIRE REMOVE TOP BOLT AND DROP BUMPER" pat appd

One of the few cool brake lights with the car company's name in it
