WRX Concept Vehicle, unveiled at the #NYIAS

Utah Car Cents followed step-by-step on twitter, blogs and other news sources to find the most cutting edge information on the New York Auto Show.  The Subaru unveil left us breathless.  Not knowing what their secret concept was going to be and then finding out it was a revolutionary take on the WRX, was awesome.  While watching the video, notice the mean cuts on the body, green accents, the LED lights and carbon fiber extras.  STUNNING is the only word that comes to mind here at Utah Car Cents.  How do you feel?  

Comment right here on our Utah Car Cents Blog, on our Facebook page or tweet to us your thoughts and feelings about the new WRX Concept Car!!!  Don't miss our show on Saturday from 10am-NOON right on 1280 The Zone!  

IS YOUR CAR READY FOR SPRING?

   

 Help your car recover from old man winter and be prepared for spring.  Here are a few tips for saving time and money over the long haul with a few quick tips. 

• Wash your car inside and out. 

Winter can be fun and exciting when weather is great for skiing, boarding, cross country and polar plunges! However, it's not easy keeping the interior clean when you've walked through mud, slush and half melted snow and ice. Cleaning your interior early in spring can help keep your car clean and dirt free. Sometimes, if this is neglected, salt and dirt dries out and is then rubbed so deep into the interior carpets and seats that its almost impossible to get out. In the long run this can lower the value of your vehicle. 

• Check tire pressure.

The cold dense air can play games with your tires, dropping the tire pressure and causing more wear and tear per mile to your tires. Once weather warms up it's great to make sure pressure is good and that snowbanks, ice and slush haven't knocked your car out of alignment.  

• Top off fluids.

Most quick lube and oil changing facilities do this for free. Summer is right around the corner from spring and  it helps to stay confident in knowing your car has plenty of coolant, oil and washer fluid for the upcoming high-temp days.

• Windshield Wipers.

Check your windshield wipers before the first big rainstorm hits. Winter ice and snow can be brutal and shred the fine cut rubber on your wipers. We've all done it, setting the defroster on full blast and wipers are on, in a frantic rush to clear the windshield so we can be on our way.

• Wash the under body of the vehicle.

Snow covers roads and salt melts snow on roads. It's a viscous cycle. Nonetheless salt is essential to clearing the roadway from snow and ice. But salt is notorious for corroding and rusting up the under body of your car. A good strong wash from a pressure washer can do wonders in keeping corrosion down.

• Brakes.

Harsh conditions cause slower, more cautious driving. The more cautious a driver is the more braking is usually involved. Brakes can be under constant pressure during winter months and its best to check them out before they start squealing at every stop light and stop sign.

Utah Car Cents: March 11 2013

Rally Into Spring

Utah Car Cents produced a live show for the Rally Into Spring Subaru meet on Saturday presented by Mark Miller Subaru.  Over 200 Subaru lovers were in attendance which provided an awesome afternoon full of music, the scent of BBQ and a raffle.  Prizes were provided by SLCsubaru.com, Flapatax, Rally Sport Direct, Adam Barker Photography, Discrete Headwear, Workman Insurance Group, Subalube, Reflected Image and much more.

A wonderful barbecue kept people fed and happy all afternoon for a mere 5 dollar purchase. Event T-shirts were a hit and sold out about three quarters through the meet.  The shirt donations enabled someone 10 additional raffle tickets and the money went to the awesome charity Utah FACES.  

Besides the food and raffle, Subaru owners took the time to catch up and admire one another's cars.  Whether someone had a "rally ready" STI or was new to making upgrades, all were welcomed with open arms.

  

The sun shown itself sparingly on Saturday but with excellent music provided, it kept smiles on and spirits high.  Local deejay Ryan Bennett from K-UTE radio kept the jams rolling all afternoon.

Even with the afternoon being filled with all the fun activities, no one forgot what the meet was for.  Utah FACES came to the Rally into Spring event to spread word on their cause.  They help rescue local animals around Salt Lake City and raise money to spay and neuter pets.  Not only were they selling a $5 bandana to help make those pets you love that much more cute, but all proceeds from the event went to Utah FACES!  Over $900 went to this awesome organization.  Go check out their website and volunteer or make a donation today!
