Baby Boomers Say No to Sports Cars

The blogosphere buzz  the past few days has been about
Baby Boomers turning their backs on sports cars 
and opting for larger SUV vehicles.

Could this be about comfort?


Feeling the Sales Pinch

Sales at Ford Mustang are down by a whopping 32%! 

Followed by the Chevy Corvette down 14%
and the Chevy Camaro down 11%. 


These are some serious drops and it seems the
next generation just can't pick up where the 
Baby Boomer's left off.  

It will be a sad world not to see a Mustang or two
hurling down the road.

As far as we're concerned, be it an SUV, sports car
or vintage vehicle..................we tow them all!

Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a fall/winter vacation, please stay alert on the road!

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is equal to a .08 alcohol level.  
From 2009 - 2012, there's been an increase in fatal crashes involving large trucks.

The only way to protect yourself is to be overly aware while on the road and
learning a few defensive driving tactics to keep you safe.

 Some things to be on the lookout for:
  • Turning with a wide radius.
  • Straddling the center of the road or lane marker
  • Almost striking an object or other vehicle.
  • Weaving or zigzagging across the road.
  • Driving on other than a designated roadway.
  • Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course.
  • Turning abruptly or illegally.
  • Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit.
  • Stopping without cause in a traffic lane.
  • Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane).
  • Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway.
  • Erratic braking.
  • Driving into opposing or crossing traffic.
  • Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions.
  • Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start).

TBT: Pulling for a Cure

Last year we unveiled our new tow truck Pulling for a Cure, here's a look back.



George’s Customs Towing, a local towing company in Whiteford, MD recently unveiled a new addition to their fleet of trucks.  Pulling for a Cure hit the streets ten days ago at the Dover International Speedway NASCAR event, bringing awareness to breast cancer and all cancers.

Owner George Feilinger and General Manager Alisha Gibbons have been truly astounded by the impact their work vehicle, which was custom built by West End Services is having on the community.  Passers-by approach them and tell their stories, because as we all know – everyone in some way has been touched by cancer.  They met Cathy in a restaurant, once a 12 year breast cancer survivor and now the cancer has returned.  They met Joe whose grand-daughter Rebecca was struck down by childhood cancer.  They met Cheryl, a 10 year cancer survivor who has thrown her passion into cancer awareness through a local group Living Beyond Breast Cancer.



George’s Customs Towing has been swept up and into the Cancer Awareness Movement, their pink tow truck has become a testament of awareness and hope for the cancer community.  George’s Customs Towing has pledged to make a quarterly contribution to a local cancer group or individual in need. For George it’s personal; you will find a dedication on the truck in memory of his Grandmother Mary Glackin.  

 It’s not only about the survival of cancer; it’s also about the ability to thrive once the cancer has been contained.  This sentiment can be visually seen on the hood of the Pulling for a Cure tow truck, which was skillfully designed by Jack of Arts.  Billowing storm clouds ascend into rays of light representing the darkness that cancer brings and the light rays represent hope and healing.
Expect to see Pulling for a Cure at many local community cancer awareness events in Harford County.

Not that we would want to have this experience at all, but since our vehicles
have a mind of their own we need to be prepared!

1.  Safety
2.  Preparation
3.  Making the Call
4.  Wait

Better to be prepared than not!

Prepare for Winter Driving

 

........not that we want to skip Fall, just

being cautious!

Preparing for Winter Driving 

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:
  • Stay alert; 
  • Slow down; and 
  • Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  
Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 
battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 
heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 
sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 
where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.

We know how tough winter driving is!

Act of Kindness

Such a sweet story!

A woman's car broke down and she just didn't 
have the money to get it towed.  
A Police Officer was trying to help her when a
 complete stranger walked over 
and handed her a $100 bill!

That money helped to get her car off the
road....before she got a ticket, or the car was
impouded. You know the whole snowball effect
when you just don't take care of something from the
get go!




Tis' the Season
for Random Acts of Kindness.

We can ALL make a Difference.

TBT: It Takes a Team of Local Businesses

Reflecting back one year and on the businesses that helped us get
our Pulling for a Cure tow truck on the road.

The reality of our new truck Pulling for a Cure would not have
been possible without West End Services.  John Jr. of West End worked 
hand and hand with us designing the vehicle we envisioned.  When you see the
truck in all it's glory lit up at night this was the handiwork of John Jr.!



The graphics for our vehicle were done by Jack of Arts.  It's
truly amazing how our input of what we wanted on the vehicle
was skillfully concepted and designed by Jack of Arts - totally
blowing us away with their creativity.

Billowing storm clouds ascend into rays of light representing the darkness 
that cancer brings and the light rays represent hope and healing.

It took a team of Local Businesses to bring
Pulling for a Cure to life.

Thank you West End Services and Jack of Arts!

In the Wake of Hurricane Matthew Flooding


Get to higher ground.......is an understatement.  
So many cars were flooded 
along the track of hurricane Matthew.

Sometimes a vehicle can be saved, most times not.
Whatever you do don't try to start a flooded vehicle, this
could fry the electrical system. 

As soon as the flooding subsides get in touch with
your local towing Company and have your vehicle
dropped off at your mechanic to see if it's at all
salvageable.  Be sure to call your insurance company too!
But first, take care of you and your family.
