Classic Car Care Tips

Lucky classic car owners or future owners have more responsibility with owning one than just posting all its glory on Facebook and displaying it for their pleasure and other people to see. Here are some commandments that a classic owner should do. 

Drive

When we possess something valuable, we tend to just keep it in a safe place and use it as rarely as possible to preserve it.  However, when it comes to cars, especially classic cars, it’s best to drive it at least once a week to keep it in a running condition and serve its purpose. Cars are meant to be driven not displayed.

Storage

When you’re not taking the vehicle on the road, let it sit on a proper garage. Don’t expose it on extreme hot or cold temperature. Aside from that, ensure that the garage is safe from elements like possible collision and theft. You didn’t spent money on it just to be damaged or stolen from you right? You either use a cover to disguise it from potential car theft or invest on third party garage or storage unit.  

Cleanliness

Singapore car grooming are incredibly meticulous with their services. They make sure that your classic car is well preserved by keeping dirt, dust, and other components that eventually deteriorates your car. So, if you’re really busy but still want to make sure that your car is always in good condition, pay them a visit at least once a month.

Insurance

Owning a classic car will cost you quite a fortune from the price tag to the maintenance. Having said that, it is just reasonable to get insurance for it. This will protect you and your car from possible accident that may occur.

General Maintenance

Classic cars, no matter how old they are, are cars nonetheless. Therefore they require the same maintenance that less exotic cars gets.  So if you own one, changing oil , checking tires, replacing brake liquid and other things that a car needs, still have to be done. Again, if you’re too busy for this, you can always take it to car groomers that will do that job for you. 

Strati, World’s First 3D Printed Car

You really don’t know anymore how far our technology can go. Just recently, the two-seater “neighborhood” electric car with a maximum speed of 40 mph and a mileage of 120 miles has just been released. This is the world’s first 3D-printed car named Strati manufactured by the Local Motors.

As the car continues to be refined, the company is planning to sell it starting from $18, 000 to $30,000 later.

Originally, it takes 45 hours to complete the printing of this car but the CEO of the manufacturer is trying to have it done in just 24 hours and down to below 10. With this, the executives are visualizing more Strati to be produced in the future, most probably 15,000 units per year if the micro factories picks up on this success after a hundred years of progress.

This milestone may even benefit the car grooming services in Singapore, though this isn’t the kind of car that they usually handle, we’re quite sure they’ll come up with something to offer.

As early as now, they may start brainstorming what kind of service an electric engine, thermoplastic, fully recyclable material from BAAM car they can give.

Though it demonstrations some convenience in terms of waste material reduction, the downside could be the amount of energy needed in order to print these kinds of 3D-printed cars.
