WESTLAND, Mich.,–– Summer can offer a lot of fun activities to do while school is out and there is more time to spend with the family. It’s a great time to do some traveling or to get outside and playing some sports. You may even have some movies you are excited to see that are coming out soon at the movie theater. With all the possibilities for fun during the summer months, there are many activities to involve your friends or, perhaps, your family in. Family time is so important and with the summer in full swing, we recommend taking some time to begin planning out your activities for the upcoming months.

<h4>
1.) Traveling:</h4>
We’ve all seen the Vacation movies with Chevy Chase. Going on trips when all members of the family are free is something can set up some fun experiences. Your choice of destinations could vary from Chicago to Traverse City. It is completely possible you may be going to somewhere smaller like Grand Haven or Kalamazoo. Whether big or small, your travels will bring a great deal of happiness to you. Traveling in a vehicle or flying somewhere could give you memories of simply getting to the location you are seeking to go to. You might have a television within your car and are watching a great movie. You may have hooked up your video game system and are playing a race game against one another. You could be playing cards or a board game too. What matters is that you are together with them. Once you get there, you will make even more fun times to photograph and remember in a scrapbook. This is your chance to truly make the summer count where it matters. Go travel somewhere with your loved ones and have a great experience.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
2.) Sports:</h4>
One of the greatest enjoyable moments a family can experience is playing some sports outside. Once your children are old enough, they will be able to play a variety of different sports. With many different sports to choose from, there may be some that are better for you because of the size of your family versus some that could be better if you have a smaller family. You may be playing football or soccer. You might even be waterskiing or tubing. After choosing the sport, the experience will simply be playing it outside with your loved ones. While some might win and others could lose, it’s simply remembering how fun such a thing can be together. There’s no telling what the future holds when you are building trust and teamwork within the realms of your family.<br />

<h4>
3.) Going to The Movies:</h4>
It’s hot out. Who wants to go to the movies, right? Well, on some days during the summertime, it will inevitably rain or it may be a tad bit colder on some nights than it normally is. In these cases, having an alternative to some of the traditional activities could be really helpful. In the movie world, summer is known as "blockbuster season". It’s the time when all the big and crazy movies come out. This summer, you have films like I<i>ncredibles 2</i> and <i>Show Dogs</i> or <i>Hotel Transylvania 3</i> and <i>Teen Titans Go! to the Movies</i>. For you and your family, that means the opportunity to see huge spectacles on the big screen as well as buy a big soda, a giant thing of popcorn, or some candy. It also can lead you to form bonds with your family you choose to go with. It could be with the whole family or only your siblings. You may never know exactly what happens. However, the simple experience of being together is what matters in the end.<br />

<br />
<h4>
4.) Playing Video Games:</h4>
This is another case of when the weather is not as great as it could be. This is when you might consider seeing who can defeat one another in a video game. Such games encourage teamwork and competition. It could bring out your wanting to win and be the best. It might help you to overcome barriers in your family by making two people work together, in order to succeed. It’s chances like this that truly make times memorable. <br />

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– <a href="https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/06/14/ford-resource-and-engagement-center-initiative-expands-to-europe.html">Ford</a> has moved past the days of simply being a company in Dearborn and the Detroit metro area. Today, it is a global organization with operations in many different countries. It has employed 202,000 people since December 2017. Today, Ford is no longer just known for the invention of the Model T and its association with the founder of the company, Henry Ford. The global perspective of Ford has allowed it to grow into the behemoth it is today by producing some of the most cutting-edge cars out there. Ford Motor Company has taken its global platform to Romania, where the automaker’s philanthropic arm, the Ford Motor Company Fund, will establish the Ford Resource and Engagement Center (FREC), the first of its kind in Europe. Social entrepreneurship will be the focus of FREC.<br />
<br />
The FREC, financed through a $1 million investment over four years from the Ford Motor Company Fund in cooperation with GlobalGiving, will place its focus on bringing recent graduates of and students from the University of Craiova to help create sustainable and innovative ways to drive economic and social progress. An additional $100,000 will come from a multi-year agreement between GlobalGiving, Ford Motor Company Fund’s international grant making partner, and EDUCOL. FREC also originates from a partnership with the Asociatia Pentry Educatie SV Oltenia (EDUCOL), a non-profit organization that looks to maximize development, employment opportunities, and training for young persons. It works with the City Hall of Craiova that will provide building premises. Building refurbishment is already underway via the support of Ford employees. The academic community and students at the University of Craiova are playing a big role. <br />
<br />
FREC’s focus is to make an impact on the quality of life, job growth, and economic potential of the Oltenia region. It will also work to bring together various educational leaders, Ford volunteers, mentors, and different non-profit partners. It will assist various residents to develop new talents, celebrate their communities, and add new skills to their resumes. The many graduates and students will be asked to submit any proposals they might have by an early September deadline. The first winners would be announced at an inauguration ceremony in October. Access to FREC facilities and a start-up grant will be given to each team.<br />
<br />
“Ford Fund has a proud tradition of strengthening the communities that are home to our employees, dealers, suppliers and customers,” Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services President Jim Vella stated. “We are excited to bring our transformational Ford Resource and Engagement Center model to Europe and provide access to opportunities and resources that will help make people’s lives better in Romania.”<br />
<br />
Ford’s activities in Romania have stretched beyond their FREC work. They have also established a “Listen to your heart” free of charge cardio-vascular disease screening program; a Ford Driving Skills for Life safe driver training program; and the creation of a Vocational Training Center that specializes in electrical and mechanical engineering. The Ford safe driver training program’s reach is to over 2,500 teenagers through in-school seminars and over 1,000 young drivers throughout Romania annually.<br />
<br />

WESTLAND, Mich. – If you are a Detroiter, you are well aware that the old Detroit train station in Corktown has been left abandoned for a very long time. It has remained decrepit and none of it has been renovated whatsoever. Outside of being used as a filming location in films like “Transformers,” it has remained a distant memory of what Detroit used to be. With so much history, those driving along Michigan Avenue have long wondered why nothing has been done to rehab what was once a stunning building. With <a href="https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/06/19/ford-acquires-iconic-michigan-central-station.html">Ford Motor Company</a> looking to open operations once again in the city of Detroit, the automaker has seized upon the chance to not only make a big imprint on Detroit but also make old train station an inhabitable area once more.<br />
<br />
During the week in which Ford celebrated its 115th anniversary, the automaker announced the acquisition of the Michigan Central Station. The purpose of Ford’s new Corktown campus will be to focus on the electric and autonomous vehicles as well as create sophisticated urban mobility solutions and services including public transit, parking, roads, and connected vehicles. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford said the acquisition of the Michigan Central Station means something more to him.<br />
<br />
“Michigan Central Station is a place that in many ways tells the story of Detroit over the past century,” Ford said. “We at Ford want to help write the next chapter, working together in Corktown with the best startups, the smartest talent, and the thinkers, engineers, and problem-solvers who see things differently – all to shape the future of mobility and transportation.”<br />
<br />
Ford’s plan is to have around 1.2 million square feet of space in Corktown. About three-quarters of which will be split between the company and its different partners in business. Around 2,500 Ford employees, the majority from the company’s mobility team, will be moving into Corktown by 2022. There will be further space to allow for around 2,500 additional employees from different businesses and other partners. What remains of the 300,000 square feet will be used for the attraction of local shops and restaurants, plans for new residential options, and the restoration of the grand hall back to its original shape. Ford President and CEO Jim Hackett said he sees Corktown as representing the future of the information age for Ford.<br />
<br />
“What Rouge was to Ford in the industrial age, Corktown can be for Ford in the information age,” Hackett said. “It will be the proving ground where Ford and our partners design and test the services and solutions for the way people are going to live and get around tomorrow, creating a Southeast Michigan mobility corridor that spans west from Dearborn to Ann Arbor, and east to Detroit.” Hackett believes this also could turn Detroit into the “mobility capital of the world.”<br />
<br />
“This will be the kind of campus where the emerging economy thrives – a collaborative ecosystem of companies, educators, investors, and innovators,” Hackett said. “This is where part of our team will live and work as a part of this community, alongside the customers and neighbors whose lives we’re trying to make better.” To Ford, Corktown draws him back to his Irish roots of where his family first came from.<br />
<br />
“Just as Dearborn does, Corktown holds a special place in my heart,” Ford said. “Henry Ford was the son of an immigrant. His father, William Ford, came over from Cork during Ireland’s potato famine. And Corktown was a destination for immigrants like him who came here with little more than hope. It was a place where you could reimagine what’s possible. That’s what we want to do all over again, right here in Corktown – to build tomorrow, together.”<br />
<br />
As Ford takes their next steps toward a bright future, you might wish to purchase a <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/new-inventory/index.htm">new Ford vehicle</a> for yourself. Imagine yourself driving down Michigan Avenue from Dearborn into downtown Detroit as you pass by the train station. It's an exciting time to be in Detroit and that means it's time for you to purchase a new Ford car. There are many great models, which <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/contact.htm">North Brothers Ford</a> can assist with. We will help you discover what it means to be a Detroiter all over again.<br />

<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span>WESTLAND, Mich. – For many of us, World War II is an event that is part of a history that was long before any of us were born. It is something we read about in books or learn about in school. We never lived or experienced the events of the Pearl Harbor bombing in Hawaii or D-Day in France. These events did not shape or define our lives as they did for the generation that went through them. For those who lived through these events and fought in this war, their lives were not only shaped by these events but defined so deeply by them too. Many of those people still exist today and remember first-hand what it was like to go through these experiences. It is why <a href="https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/06/15/eagle-squadron-mustang-gt-gittin-charity.html">Ford Motor Company</a> has decided to pay tribute to the brave American fighter pilots who were part of the Royal Air Force during World War II.<br />
<br />
These men were in squadrons that flew over Goodwood in the United Kingdom (UK) around 80 years ago during a war that changed the course of human history. Three Eagle Squadrons fought throughout the skies over northern Europe including France and the British coast with US volunteer pilots as some of those taking part. 2018 is the 20th year Ford has sponsored The Gathering during the EAA AirVenture. This year, alongside Vaughn Gittin Jr., a world champion drifter, Ford will be paying tribute to these heroes. This tribute will involve Gittin taking control of the one-off Eagle Squadron Mustang GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK on July 12. This vehicle, co-created by Gittin’s RTR Vehicles and Ford Performance, it is a Mustang GT, whose design is inspired by the fighter-aircraft in all of its camouflaged glory. It will eventually head back to The Gathering during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in. This event, held on July 26, is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, draws over 1,000 aviation enthusiasts every year. The vehicle will be auctioned off at The Gathering to help fund EAA’s education programs for youth. Ford has donated 11 custom-designed vehicles and helped garner over $3 million for the programs.<br />
<br />
“Supporting young pilots through the EAA charity auction reflects Ford’s aviation history, tracing back to the company’s early days and the Arsenal of Democracy during WWII,” Ford Mustang Design Chief Darrell Behmer said. “The Eagle Squadron Mustang GT build with Vaughn and the Ford design team is a great way to honor our heroes and keep the spirit of aviation alive for the next generation of American pilots.”<br />
<br />
The Eagle Squadron Mustang GT is a unique specimen in the motor vehicle department. Complete with a Ford Performance supercharger and a 700-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, it sports a Tactical Performance suspension package and an RTR carbon fiber wide-body kit. The highest bidder for this car will win a package for two people to attend the 2018 Ford Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, MI. The Dream Cruise takes place in August, where the winning bidder can take ownership of the car with an autographed plaque from the Ford design team and Gittin himself.

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– <a href="https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/05/24/historic-corktown-becomes-home-to-ford-motor-company.html">Ford</a>
is making its return to downtown Detroit with its purchase of a refurbished former
factory in Corktown and the movement of Ford Team Edison, the company’s
electric vehicle organization, to that location. This location will help Ford focus
on crafting its first self-driving car and on accelerating hybrid options for
different models such as the F-150 and Mustang.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Moving our teams to Corktown will further enhance our electric and autonomous
vehicle development,” Ford Autonomous Vehicles and Electrification Vice
President Sherif Marakby stated. “It gives our teams the workspace they need to
promote collaboration and big thinking, and an urban setting that delivers
crucial insight for both programs.”<br />
<br />
The Corktown location will serve to accelerate Ford’s $11.8 billion investment
in global electric vehicles to deliver different electrified cars such as the
2020 Mustang-inspired-battery-electric SUV. Ford has other plans to deliver
various hybrid options for other different models. These include the Explorer,
F-150, Mustang, Bronco, and Escape.<br />
<br />
These new electrified models of Ford’s vehicle brands will enhance the
performance, convenience, and capabilities of their vehicles. The F-150, for
example, will feature different capabilities such as its onboard electric
generator, which will achieve better mileage without sacrificing the
performance of the vehicle. <br />
<br />
Ford will push harder on the development of its battery-electric vehicle
program with 40 different electrified vehicles becoming available globally by
2020. This includes 16 different full battery-electric cars. Ford’s ultimate
goal is to make charging of vehicles more seamless and convenient while implementing
the full-vehicle over-the-air software that can enhance capability and distinctive
features.<br />
<br />
At Ford Edison, the company’s future will be devoted to self-driving vehicle
expertise. The company will realize this through the use of the artificial
intelligence experience and robotics of Argo AI. Their work in Corktown will
complement such efforts. There are other factors Ford will pay attention to as
well.<br />
<br />
Ford also seeks to provide dependable safety features, improved durability
throughout urban environments, and a lower ownership cost via commercial-grade
quality. The company’s hybrid-electric powertrain is geared toward achieving
maximum mileage and a reduction of emissions in keeping the vehicle on the road
for as long as possible.<br />
<br />
“Our team has been researching self-driving technology for more than a decade,
and when it came time to build out the business surrounding it, we put the
customer at the center of our thinking,” Ford Motor Company Global Markets Executive Vice President and President <a href="https://medium.com/self-driven/optimizing-our-self-driving-vehicle-to-better-serve-you-3f5d394e1df0">Jim Farley</a> said. “From the beginning, this
drove the development of our production vehicle and technology.”<br />
<br />
Farley added that this means a change in how Ford focuses on the vehicle types they
are producing.<br />
<br />
“What this means is we’re designing an all-new vehicle optimized for
self-driving technology and the customers it will serve,” Farley stated. “We
feel this optimization across the vehicle, technology, and customer experience
will differentiate our business as we begin to serve leading companies, such as
Lyft, in the movement of people and goods.”<br />
<br />
If you want to be part of Ford’s future, consider picking up a brand new <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/models.htm">Ford vehicle</a> from North

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<h3>
Check Your Air Conditioning System</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On scorching summer days, you won't regret keeping your A/C system properly maintained! If your A/C system is letting out little to no air or it's not cooling your cabin as quick as it used to, it may be time to have your system inspected. In some cases, your vehicle's air filter may need replacing. Getting your air filter replaced can be extremely beneficial as it will help your fuel efficiency and remove any pollen in the filter which can affect any <a href="http://nbfordblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/5-ways-to-beat-seasonal-allergies-this.html">allergies</a> you might have, making it difficult to breathe. You'll be thankful once you get it replaced when you're stuck in traffic on a humid day!<br />
<div>
</div>
In other cases, not receiving cool air could mean a more serious problem with your radiator or cooling system. If you're experiencing this, make sure to have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible for the sake of your engine!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Get a Car Wash</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Grime and dirt can build up over time on your vehicle and it can be difficult to pay attention to, especially when you're busy having fun all summer. Although it's an easy task to ignore, it's important to keep up on car washes! This excess grime and dirt on your vehicle can cause micro scratching on the paint, which can lead to unsightly rust on vehicle's exterior. Whether you give your car a wash at home or have it washed at the car wash, make sure to top it off with a wax to even further protect your vehicle's paint. If you choose to wash your car at home, use gentle materials and soap formulated for automotive purposes to avoid any abrasion to your car's exterior. </div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Park in the Shade</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whenever you get the opportunity, park in the shade! Your vehicle can heat up fairly quickly. Overtime, your vehicle's interior can become discolored and worn from UV rays, so regularly parking in the shade can help fight the aging process. The hot temperature can also wear down other components like tires, brake fluid, belts and hoses, and make them more susceptible to damage. As simple as it seems, parking in the shade will help to extend the life of your vehicle. Plus, you'll be thankful when you get back in your vehicle and it's not blazing hot. </div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Replace Your Coolant</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the most important parts of your vehicle, engine coolant, is used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Whether it's cooling down a warm engine on a hot day or a cold day, engine coolant plays an important role of regulating temperature in your vehicle's regular running function. Because it gets much warmer in the summer, your engine is simply more susceptible to overheating if the coolant is leaking or needs replacing. Engine coolant is typically replaced every 30,000 miles, or at the specified interval in your owner's manual. If you aren't sure when it was last replaced, we'd be happy to take a look and recommend a service date. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
Check Other Essential Fluids</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Besides coolant, your other vehicle fluids should be replaced regularly to ensure your vehicle can withstand the heat and get you through all your summer adventures. Whether it's engine oil, wiper fluids, or brake fluid, each plays a very important role. Engine oil is usually replaced every 3,000-5,000 miles. Wiper fluid should be replaced as it's used to ensure you have enough liquid to clear your windshield. Brake fluid isn't something that needs replacing often, but it should be inspected if your brakes are feeling too soft or if it's taking you longer to complete a stop.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Before: Get Your Vehicle Inspected</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The best way to prevent or reduce your chances of a breakdown is to get your vehicle inspected. <a href="http://www.northbrothersford.net/service/menu.htm">Schedule an appointment</a> with us at North Brothers Ford and we'll do a full inspection to make sure your vehicle is in proper working condition before hitting the road this summer. We'll be happy to give you an estimate on any maintenance costs, as well. If you're looking to make the most of your money, consider utilizing some of our <a href="http://www.northbrothersford.net/parts-service-coupons/index.htm">coupons</a> to save some extra road trip cash that could come in handy later!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Before: Prepare a Roadside Emergency Kit</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keeping a roadside emergency kit in your vehicle will prove extremely useful in the event that it breaks down. Having the tools you need to get yourself back on the road, will help eliminate the need for a tow truck and costly repairs from an unfamiliar auto shop. While a roadside emergency kit can contain many items, we've outlined a few extremely important tools and objects to keep on hand, including:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>A spare tire, jack, and tire iron</li>
<li>Jumper cables</li>
<li>Engine coolant</li>
<li>Water, snacks, and a first-aid kit</li>
<li>Basic tools (screwdriver, wrench, pliers, etc.)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3>
During: Remain Safe and Calm</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the event that you run into vehicle problems on the road, such as your engine overheating or a flat tire, make sure you're cautious and don't ignore the issue. Make sure everyone in your vehicle is okay and that you're able to safely pull over on the shoulder or side of the road. If your vehicle does run into trouble, follow this 5-step plan to safely handle a breakdown:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Turn on your hazard lights and pull over at a safe distance from traffic. This will give you room to assess any damage done to your vehicle and you can pop your hood if you need it.</li>
<li>Keep an eye on your surroundings: Are you on the backroads or a highway? Are you able to contact help using your phone? How close are you to the nearest gas station? How well-lit is the area you pulled over at? This information can help you remain safe and secure in the event of a breakdown and can help you alleviate any stress you may have during the process.</li>
<li>Take a look at the damage to your vehicle. Is your tire flat? Is your engine smoking? Take note of anything you notice and write it down if you can.</li>
<li>If possible, try to perform the repairs on your own. If you have a flat tire, switch it out for a spare, but if you aren't sure what to do, don't be afraid to ask for help. Call the police or a towing company and explain the situation. They'll be able to help you in no time!</li>
<li>If you were able to successfully replace your vehicle's tire or perform maintenance or get a tow truck, make sure to take your vehicle to the nearest dealership or auto shop right away for professional assistance to make sure your vehicle is alright. If you're still in the Detroit area, North Brothers Ford will help tow your vehicle and get everything taken care of as fast as possible. <a href="http://www.northbrothersford.net/contact.htm">Contact us</a> in the event of an emergency!</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<h3>
After: Keep a Record of the Event</h3>
<div>
After you get your vehicle looked at and take it in to the nearest dealership or auto shop, make sure you let the mechanic know exactly what happened from start to finish. If you are able to give the mechanic a detailed description of what happened, it will help them work on your repairs at a much quicker rate, and it may get you back on the road quickly. Don't forget to keep a record of your repairs if the problem persists to prevent any additional costs. If your vehicle's repair will take longer than expected, make sure you ask if they offer rental vehicles. Making sure you're back on the road and enjoying your vacation is important, especially after a stressful vehicle breakdown.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Road trips, while very enjoyable, can also be extremely unpredictable. Preparing yourself for any situation big or small is necessary if you want to maximize your fun on your vacation. Knowing <i>what to do if your car breaks down on a road trip</i> will help you save time and money this summer out on the road. Don't forget to <a href="http://www.northbrothersford.net/service/menu.htm">schedule an appointment</a> with us before you leave for your vacation so we can make sure your vehicle is up to speed!</div>

<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQyrpOmqJ9vAjInAL92zP2I6z2SuZMf9ySdKdo1ojC9UjaT8YknpwMJW55839hbXJWjZiHJtdhvOoVqz7VUDoCipsfjcPkQK-RpSJ3dgcK5C6sP5XkYRj7vX9yQkai4A8liz3xoYwuGBp/s640/3A1A4286_C1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
WESTLAND, Mich. -- <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Ford is making the beastly F-150 Raptor, which already holds the title of the ultimate high-performance off-road pickup, even better with next-level technology including class-exclusive, electronically-controlled FOX </span><span style="background-color: white;">shocks, new Trail Control, </span><span style="background-color: white;">and all-new Recaro sport seats.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Raptor’s success is rooted in its incredible suspension, superb vehicle control and the confidence the truck instills in its owners,” says Hermann Salenbauch, global director, Ford Performance vehicle programs. “Upgrades to the 2019 F-150 Raptor have improved all three to new levels that the competition will have to benchmark – again.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img border="0" data-original-height="892" data-original-width="1280" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmu99hVFHS15rrvhQWxw_iXiofrGQfUW3U8oNYanm6T8hiJkBfBRnOJRH6uq9TH1cqqA99lRHv0dtAgRtwworzpCuU9HNZkSBgbDXEhTeoaUvU6gHljPQdEXu6vO0Mt6Wq9Z6e3IzUwN6B/s640/3U0A0158_C1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While Raptor has plenty of torque and horsepower, that's not the only thing that goes into building a high-performance off-road truck. We're talking, of course, about the suspension. The upgrades to the Raptor’s suspension system make it even more capable of clawing away at the terrain.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To enhance Raptor’s already proven internal bypass shocks, Ford Performance worked directly with FOX to develop class-exclusive, electronically controlled Live Valve technology for the new platform that continuously adjusting damping. The FOX setup uses special sensors in the suspension and body to maximize comfort, handling, and bottom-out resistance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“By automatically varying compression rates, Raptor can now make the most of its suspension travel of 13 inches at the front and 13.9 inches at the rear,” says Salenbauch. “The 2019 Raptor is not just more capable off-road. It’s smarter.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paired with 2019 Ford Raptor’s Terrain Management System, Live Valve suspension technology enhances the truck’s high-speed, off-road capability while also enabling smooth on-road driving performance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Not many trucks need sensors to detect when you are mid-air,” says Salenbauch. “Raptor sets the dampers to full stiffness to help smooth shock performance as the truck lands.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Low-speed performance off-road is also improved. New Trail Control helps navigate challenging conditions. Think of it as cruise control for low-speed, rugged terrain, automatically adjusting power and braking to each individual wheel. This allows drivers to focus on steering over rugged terrain. Trail Control can be activated at speeds from 1 mph up to 20 mph depending on driveline position.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether you're driving a simple two-track trail or traversing rocky terrain, the new Trail Control system makes everything easier. Not only can it automatically draw significant engine torque to overcome steep obstacles, it can individually brake the wheels so the truck comes down smoothly on the other side.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving on to the interior, the 2019 Ford Raptor features enhanced seats to help keep drivers firmly in place for improved confidence at low and high speeds over rough terrain. Recaro sport seats provide aggressive support with generous bolstering in the seat back and cushion.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The upgraded 2019 F-150 Raptor will be built at Dearborn Truck Plant. It goes on sale in late 2018.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<br />
WESTLAND, Mich. -- Accidents. They happen to the best of us. In the shock of the moment, it can be difficult to gather your thoughts and do what you need to do to and recover, but that's why <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/">North Brothers Ford</a> is here! While a lot of drivers may not think of the possibility of a major collision, it's important to have a game plan just in case. We hope you never have to use it, but here are some things you should know if you're involved in a car accident.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="680" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSWQEg3lkNboFeCkXQnDs6YJZ5uM_lGDLW-RDapftDatpZbtm2yiwMb6PDWNk0Uq4YR_MkCwf1q5Hban-XnYooYFVOU44IGgk1DZy5EZTOJ9JpB-T5l9LUsdibdwH8At72EZN6xrnxS3g/s640/man-and-woman-exchanging-information-after-car-accident_680x402.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<h3>
EXCHANGE INFORMATION</h3>
<div>
When you've determined that everyone else involved in the accident is okay, you should exchange information. In most cases, this includes license numbers, vehicle registration, and insurance info. Make sure you do not leave the scene of the accident until you've gathered everything you need to file a claim with your insurance company.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNArSzzCAiF-ZUnEYaDPWXjNOFGdQYnZ0RVtWHbU4M636jaw4lIvQaO5EgHJ4Q2dvdGlJwVAaa55fxrXo847NHzbmLE01Y2Gsnh60pbnb6HtdK8EDsBqtCldrf8jOxcuo7L_ayuoV6YF9B/s640/police-report-car-accident-01-e1497972045417.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<h3>
GET A POLICE REPORT</h3>
<div>
Once you've gathered information from all drivers involved in the accident, call the police so they can document the incident, and call an ambulance if needed. Getting a police report is important for insurance purposes. Make sure to point out any damage to your car to the responding officer, and make a personal note of their name as well as the report number.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
TAKE PHOTOS</h3>
<div>
When you're in an accident, taking photos of vehicle and property damage as well as personal injuries can mean the difference between a successful and unsuccessful insurance claim. Memory is notoriously unreliable, and having documented evidence can help build a strong case to get you the full compensation to which you're entitled.</div>

WESTLAND, Mich. -- While there may be a gap when it comes to music and fashion, drivers of the Gen Z cohort (those born 1995) have at least one thing in common with their parents: SUVs.<br />
<br />
Making up more than a quarter of the US population with nearly one-third having reached driving age, Gen Z is making quite an impact on the auto industry. Despite their reputation as ride-share enthusiasts, a recent study has shown that 92% of the Z generation plans to own or lease a new vehicle. As to what kind, the country's youngest drivers are ditching the subcompact car and gravitating towards the subcompact SUV.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials – everybody wants their SUV, and Gen Z is no different,” says Ford US sales analyst Erich Merkle. “As more new small SUVs like Ford EcoSport become available, you’ll see the subcompact SUV segment continue to climb as a popular new car of choice for first-time buyers.” Merkle adds that sales of subcompact SUVs among 18-to-24-year-olds will surpass that of subcompact cars as early as next year.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2014, the 18 to 24 age group in the United States purchased 8,121 subcompact cars and only 443 subcompact SUVs. Flash forward to 2017, that same age group purchased 3,981 subcompact cars and 2,480 subcompact SUVs - that's a 541% spike in just four years.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ford EcoSport, which hit showrooms earlier this year, is the newest of nine vehicles looking to capitalize on Gen Z's growing affinity for the subcompact SUV. Fuel-efficient and with the cargo space desired by young drivers, the EcoSport comes at an accessible price for Gen Z to consider over the used car option for their first ride, with a starting price of under $20,000. On top of that, the EcoSport comes equipped with 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that returns an EPA-estimated 28mpg combined rating and a range of up to 381 miles per tankful.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What else does the Gen Z cohort love about subcompact SUVs? As the "Connected Generation", technology is extremely important to young drivers. As a result, subcompact SUV designers strive to include more features like Wi-Fi, multiple charging ports, and smartphone app-compatible entertainment systems.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ford EcoSport comes with all that and more including compatibility with popular tech products like Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Additionally, FordPass provides remote access through a smartphone app, plus an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen, and is also available with a B&O Play premium audio system and SiriusXM satellite radio.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“To Gen Z buyers, connectivity is everything,” says Karen Sullivan, Ford EcoSport brand marketing manager. “Their car serves as an extension of their phone and their home, and we’re seeing an exciting response from these young customers to our all-new EcoSport.”</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To top it all off, the Ford EcoSport provides cargo space Gen Z can't get out of a subcompact car, boasting 50 cubic feet behind the front row - nearly double that of a Fiesta hatchback - and 20.9 cubic feet behind the second row - much greater than the trunk space of a Focus sedan.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What's the best part about all of this? North Brothers Ford has the 2018 Ford EcoSport in stock!

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Oil changes, tire replacements or rotations, wheel alignments, brake inspections, wiper blade replacements, filter exchanges, and fluid fill-ups are all a part of routine and scheduled maintenance. Completing these services at the right time can eliminate unnecessary wear, damage, and even accidents that can result in costly repairs. Keeping up with routine service also helps to keep you and your passengers safe on the road.

KEEP A SERVICE RECORD</h3>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeping a service record helps to keep you on track and on time for future services. Our service technicians will always help keep track of your routine maintenance needs, like oil changes and tire rotations. How you do it is really up to you whether it's on your smartphone, mobile device, or personal computer. You could also keep a physical file folder at home with papers and receipts from past services. Either way, you'll be better equipped to schedule services at the right time and avoid missing important maintenance services. </span></div>

USE THE CORRECT FUEL AND FLUIDS</h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Each vehicle is built differently, and thus require different things to keep it running properly. When it comes to fuel, you should only fill up with the type your vehicle requires. Most times, you'll need to use Regular or Unleaded fuel, but if you have a performance-based car or heavy-duty pickup, you might require Premium or Diesel fuel. As for other fluids, there are many different kinds used throughout your vehicle including oil, power steering fluid, wiper fluid, etc. If you use the wrong kind, you can potentially cause damage to your vehicle's internal components, which can cost you more in repairs. Our service techs can tell you what your car's specific needs are, as can your owner's manual.</span></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">GO EASY ON YOUR VEHICLE</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> If you take care of your car, it'll take care of you. Driving carefully, as opposed to driving aggressively, can help you save on fuel and on service in the long run. Avoid frequent hard stops whenever possible, frequent "pedal to the metal" starting, and excessive speeding and idling. You can also fill up before your gas gauge hits E, avoid hitting potholes and curbs as best you can, and avoid taking frequent trips that are under 5 miles. It's especially important to take it easy on your car if the engine is new or under 1,500 miles. It's recommended to avoid exceeding 75 mpg, excessive idling, towing or carrying heavy loads, and pushing the engine to the higher rpm range. We also recommend letting your car warm up in the winter by idling for only about 30 seconds or up to 5 minutes maximum when the temperature is below zero. All of these recommendations will help your engine run it's best, help your car run longer, and help you save on fuel.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The weather in Michigan can take a toll on your vehicle inside and out, but it's up to you to keep it clean and protected. Regularly washing the exterior can help avoid grime and road salt build-up, which can slowly become corrosive to the paint and exposed components over time if you don't wash your vehicle. We also recommend keeping the interior clean to protect the surfaces and materials from diminishing or deteriorating. If you choose to do vehicle cleaning at home, make sure to only use cleaning agents formulated for automotive uses!</span></div>

<b><br /></b>
<h3>
<b>1. GET SLEEP</b></h3>
<div>
The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration estimates that about 100,000 vehicular accidents are caused by driver fatigue each year, resulting in about 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and a whopping $12.5 billion in collision repairs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before heading out on a long drive, it is essential that you get enough sleep the night before, at least 8 hours according to the National Sleep Foundation. If you're traveling with other people of driving age who have their license, plan to switch out driving duties. If you're going it alone, work a hotel stop into your itinerary.<br />
<br />

<h3>
2. INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE</h3>
<div>
Before you head out on your road trip, make sure your car is running at its best. This not only saves you money on the costly repairs that can result but is also essential to your safety. Here's a checklist of things to inspect before a long drive. If you're uncomfortable performing the check yourself, feel free to <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">schedule a service appointment</a> with Graff Mt. Pleasant! Our friendly and knowledgeable service technicians will be happy to answer any questions and make sure your car can handle the trip!</div>

<h3>
3. FUEL UP</h3>
<div>
It might seem like a no-brainer, but about 800,000 drivers run out of gas each year on the road due to overestimating how much fuel they have left in their tank. The good thing about road trips is you'll mostly be cruising highways, which eats up less gas. However, Graff Mt. Pleasant recommends you do some preliminary research such as:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>How many miles will you be traveling?</b> Most GPS services will tell you when you're planning your route. You should also look into how many gas stations are on the way, the more the better.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>How's your vehicle's gas mileage?</b> Gas mileage tells you how many miles you can travel before your car uses a gallon of gas, and you can easily look this up online or in your owner's manual. Additionally, it's good to know how many gallons your gas tank can hold, which can also be found using the aforementioned sources.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Most importantly, if your fuel light comes on, DO NOT be a hero. Otherwise, make sure you have either roadside assistance or a no-spill gas can on board so you can hoof it to the nearest gas station.</div>

<h3>
4. HAVE SOME SOUND</h3>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
A killer playlist is not only an essential part of the road trip experience, but it's also a good way to keep you alert while driving. Music helps to stimulate the brain and break up the monotony of driving, which in turns cuts down on fatigue and boredom. Audiobooks work too!</div>

5. CHEW GUM</h3>

WESTLAND, Mich. -- They make us laugh, they make us cry, they give us sound life advice; all from the comfort of our living rooms. We have our real-life moms of course, but TV moms are a whole other breed of their own, impacting not only the lives of their viewers but shaping culture and changing it for the better.<br />
<br />
<b>This Mother's Day, we at <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/">North Brothers Ford</a> would like to share with you our Top 10 TV Moms.</b><br />

<br /></div>
<h3>
1. CLAIR HUXTABLE</h3>
<div>
Called the "greatest TV mom of all time", Clair Huxtable made her debut in 1984 along with the rest of her television family on <i>The Cosby Show</i>. Co-star and creator Bill Cosby stated that he always intended Clair to reflect the ways in which the roles of women have evolved in both the home and workplace. A feminist icon, she is not only a favorite TV mom in general but also one of the first to be a working mother, expertly balancing her role as matriarch of her family and a successful career as a lawyer. Her influence on African-American women and female lawyers in television is so profound that it has been dubbed the "Clair Huxtable effect".</div>

<div>
<h3>
<b>2. SOPHIA PETRILLO</b></h3>
<div>
Picture it: Miami, 1985. Sophia Petrillo won the hearts of viewers everywhere when <i>The Golden Girls</i> aired on NBC for the first time on September 14th. The spunky elderly mother of Dorothy Szbornak wasn't originally intended to be a part of the main cast, but when she showed up to the door shortly after her retirement home burned to the ground, she received such an overwhelmingly positive reception from viewers for her wily personality, quick wit, and biting sarcasm that she stayed on for the remainder of the series. Sophia is proof that age is just a number, maintaining a youthful sense of humor and zest for life well into her 80s. The relationship between her and Dorothy also teaches us that our mothers are more often than not our true best friends.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
3. JOYCE BYERS</h3>
<div>
The central matriarchal character of the recent television phenomenon <i>Stranger Things</i>, Joyce Byers is the single mother of Will and Johnathan Byers. While she is not well-off financially and is sorely overworked, Joyce still manages to maintain a loving and supportive home for her two sons. When Will mysteriously disappears at the beginning of the first season, she refuses to accept the possibility that he might be dead and does everything in her power to find him, regardless of other people in the town of Hawkins thinking she's crazy or bothersome. Joyce Byers is an example of a mother going to the very edge of the fringe for her kids, as well as a much-needed representative of functional single parenthood in the media.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
4. MORTICIA ADDAMS</h3>
<div>
During the 1960s, Morticia Addams broke the mold for TV moms as the mother of the creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky Addams Family alongside her husband, Gomez. While Morticia is not short on looks whatsoever, her character proved that a woman has the ability to be so much more than her beauty, frequently working on new projects and always improving her skills. Given her unorthodox appearance and her loving yet eccentric personality, she's a mom who taught us to never judge a book by its cover and to always be true to yourself.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
5. JUNE CLEAVER</h3>
<div>
The pinnacle of "motherliness", June Cleaver brought all the qualities of the gentle-voiced, cake-baking, moral lesson-giving TV mom to <i>Leave It To Beaver</i> that kids during the years of 1957-1963 dreamed of having, and real-life moms dreamed of being. Looks always on point, June proved that moms could have style with her tasteful makeup, elegant dresses, high-heeled pumps, and signature pearl necklace. In an era where corporal punishment was still an acceptable form of discipline, June never raised a hand to either of her two sons and instead encouraged compromise and understanding.</div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
6. CAROL BRADY</h3>
<div>
<i>The Brady Bunch</i> was essentially the "it" family of the 1970s, with the radiant Carol Brady at the helm alongside her husband, Mike. Carol Brady was revolutionary as her character was one of the earliest in television to bring the concept of the blended family to the mainstream, proving that family is not dependent on genetics.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
7. ROSEANNE CONNER</h3>
<div>
Prior to the network debut of <i>Roseanne </i>in 1988, there had been shows featuring working mothers, but only as an adjunct to the father. Roseanne Conner changed that when she became the first TV mom to be the central character of a show. With her distinctive voice and attitude, she's also a departure from the genteel archetype of TV moms but instead was a fierce working-class heroine who was strong, hard-working, and not a victim of patriarchal consumerism.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
8. JULIA BAKER</h3>
<div>
Before the premiere of <i>Julia</i> on NBC in 1968, there were television shows featuring African-Americans in the central role, but usually in a servant capacity. Julia Baker broke the mold by becoming the first African-American woman on television to not only have her own show, but also not be portrayed in a stereotypical role. Julia was also one of if not the first representation of working single mothers on television, which was quite revolutionary given the time.</div>

<h3>
9. MRS. WOLOWITZ</h3>
<div>
The mother of <i>The Big Bang Theory's </i>Howard Wolowitz is impressive because she's so memorable, yet we've never actually seen her. We didn't have to, as she made her presence known with her loud and obnoxious New Jersey-accented voice provided by the late Carol Ann Susi. Despite her over-protective and sometimes desperate ways, Mrs. Wolowitz was a loving motherly figure to both her son and his friends. She also proved that TV moms don't have to be seen to be memorable, as moms are inherently omnipotent beings as everyone knows.</div>

<h3>
10. FIONA GALLAGHER</h3>
<div>
While she's not a "mom" in the traditional sense, Fiona Gallagher as the oldest sibling of her large but dysfunctional family stepped up to the plate to care for her younger brothers and sister, in the wake of absent and irresponsible parents. When <i>Shameless</i> begins, Fiona is in her early-20s, caring for her five siblings ranging from teenagers to an infant in the poverty-stricken environment of Chicago's South Side, and dealing with the antics of their alcoholic father. While she longs for a life like most young women her age and is not perfect, she is fiercely devoted to her siblings and takes her role in stride.</div>

<i>Those were our picks for our top list of 10 TV moms</i>. While we have our real-life mothers, TV moms are a whole other breed on our own. They make us laugh at how relatable they are to our own mothers, they make us cry wishing our own mothers were still here, and they open our eyes so that we may glean wisdom from their stories. From all of us here at <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/">North Brothers Ford</a>, Happy Mothers Day!</div>

WESTLAND, Mich. -- Animals are a lot of things to us humans. They're friends, siblings, kids, and protectors. Most of all, they are living and feeling creatures who like us deserve to lead a happy and healthy life surrounded by love. In animal shelters across the United States, there are tons of dogs and cats waiting and hoping that someone like you will come along and give them their forever home.<br />
<br />
<b>Kicking off National Pet Month, North Brothers Ford wants to share with you 5 reasons why you should adopt and not shop</b>, and encourage you to raise awareness to others.<br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h3>
<b>1. SAVE A LIFE AND BREAK THE CYCLE</b></h3>
<div>
Lost, given up, or abandoned, every shelter animal needs and deserves a second chance. When you adopt a dog or cat from a shelter, you are giving another living being a new life and a forever home when they otherwise have been denied such.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is especially important for animals who are unfortunate enough to end up in "kill shelters", which have a policy of euthanization to cut down on overpopulation. Each year, 8 to 12 million dogs and cats of any age have their lives cut short simply because there isn't enough room for them in the shelter and no one is coming to their rescue. By adopting a pet from a shelter rather than buying from a breeder or pet store helps to break this cycle.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
2. HELP STOP CRUELTY IN MASS BREEDING FACILITIES</h3>
<div>
Unfortunately, there have been a rise in the number of commercial pet-breeding facilities, better known as "puppy mills" and "kitten mills", which produce millions of animals for sale in pet stores and public ads. At these facilities, female dogs and cats are forced to produce litter after litter, isolated in cages under extremely poor conditions, and are then later euthanized when they either become too old or too physically worn out to breed.<br />
<br />
When you adopt from a shelter, you do not support these cruel practices and therefore help to shut this business down.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
3. ADULT ANIMALS</h3>
</div>
<div>
Your lifestyle may be a little too busy to handle raising a puppy or kitten, but did you know that there are plenty of wonderful adult and senior dogs and cats up for adoption in shelters? Adopting an adult animal comes with many advantages such as already being housebroken, training in basic commands like "sit" and "stay", and having a developed personality for you to fall in love with.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
4. MEDICAL CARE AND A LIFETIME RESOURCE</h3>
<div>
Many shelters and animal rescue groups often include vaccinations, microchipping, and even spaying or neutering in the adoption fee. On top of that, you gain a lifetime resource in the way of qualified shelter employees and volunteers who your new pal already trusts and will probably be more inclined to be handled by them than a new vet.</div>

<h3>
5. A FOREVER FRIEND</h3>
<div>
Of all the many reasons to adopt and not shop, the biggest one has got to be simply gaining a friend for life, for both of you. For the rest of your life, you'll get looks like that pictured above. Looks that say "thank you for saving my life", "thank you for showing me that not all humans are bad", and "thank you for giving me a happy, healthy, and loving forever home".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

WESTLAND, Mich. -- While Cinco de Mayo continues to be ceremoniously commemorated in Mexico, it has become something of a cultural celebration in the United States, with people of all ethnicities showing their appreciation for all aspects of the Mexican culture. While many people of Mexican heritage have had a significant impact on the world, here are a couple who deserve special recognition for their game-changing, history-making contributions to the human race.</div>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. IGNACIO ZARAGOZA</h3>
<div>
Kicking off this list is the man behind Cinco de Mayo: Ignacio Zaragoza. On May 5th, 1862, General Charles de Lorencez led a force of 8,000 French soldiers into Mexico to occupy the city of Puebla, under orders from Napoleon III. Located halfway between the capital of Mexico City and the country's main Atlantic port, Veracruz, controlling Puebla meant a strategic advantage for the French in following through with Napoleon III's desire to set up a Mexican puppet regime. However, what the French weren't counting on when they marched into Puebla that day was a tenacious officer of the Mexican Army by the name of Ignacio Zaragoza.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Zaragoza and his army of 6,000 occupied Puebla's nearby forts and were poorly equipped and trained, and not to mention considerably outnumbered by Lorencez. The French Army, on the other hand, was considered the best in the world at the time, well-equipped, highly trained, and going undefeated for nearly 50 years. Those odds didn't quell the fiery spirit of Zaragoza and his men, however, as they ultimately forced the French to retreat and prevented them from marching on to the capital.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Zaragoza's victory not only helped to establish a sense of unity and patriotism amongst the Mexican people but also sent a message to the rest of the world that, despite not being as advanced in military and infrastructure at the time, Mexico was not to be underestimated. Additionally, some historians consider it the catalyst that started Mexico down the road to revolution, and eventual independence from Spain.</div>

2. SELENA</h3>
<div>
<div>
Regarded as the "Queen of Tejano Music", Selena's immense contributions to both music and fashion have immortalized her as one of the most prolific entertainers of all time, whose legacy arguably set the stage for Latinas in mainstream music. Her father, a former Mexican-American musician, noticed her talent as a vocalist when she was six-years-old, describing her as having perfect pitch and timing. Selena was also a natural performer, feeling right at home on stage and holding the crowd in the palm of her hand with her radiant personality and interactive presence. With her band Selena y Los Dinos, including her brother on bass guitar and her sister on drums, Selena skyrocketed to stardom with her recordings of Tejano music compositions; a male-dominated, Spanish-language genre popular with Mexican-Americans.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She would later go on to release her debut self-titled album in 1989, with her brother taking on the role of producer for the remainder of her career. Her fourth album, <i>Amor Prohibido</i>, was nominated for a Grammy, won Record of the Year at the 1995 Tejano Music Awards, and was among the best-selling US albums in the same year. Selena also had an eye for fashion, designing all of the costumes she wore on stage and eventually her own commercial line, opening a boutique in her hometown of Corpus Christi and another in San Antonio, Texas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Selena's life was tragically cut short on March 31st, 1995 when she was murdered by her close friend and registered agent, Yolanda Saldivar after it was discovered that Saldivar had embezzled more than $30,000 from both the boutiques and fan club. <i>Dreaming Of You</i>, the English crossover album she had been working on shortly before her death, was posthumously released in July of the same year selling 170,000 copies in a single day - a then-record for a female recording artist - and 331,000 in its first week.</div>

<h3>
3. FRIDA KAHLO</h3>
<div>
A gifted, self-taught painter and considered one of Mexico's most important figures of the twentieth century, Frida Khalo's work often reflected aspects of her frequently chaotic personal life, such as suffering a near-fatal and debilitating injury as a child (the effects of which followed her until her death), her struggles with childbirth, and her tumultuous marriage to Diego Rivera. Though tragedy marred nearly her entire life, Frida Kahlo's legacy and cultural impact are felt even 64 years after her death.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Khalo is an icon for women young and old alike in every part of the world, representing tenacity and strength in the face of overwhelming adversity whether social, political, or personal, and for these reasons is also iconic in the LGBTQ+ community. She is considered a forerunner in the emergence of feminist art, as well as the feminist movement in general.</div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
4. RITCHIE VALENS</h3>
<div>
A rock & roll pioneer and forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Ritchie Valens' impact on and contribution to the music world is huge despite his tragically short life. Born Richard Valenzuela in the San Fernando Valley region of California to Mexican parents, Valens grew up on traditional mariachi and flamenco music, as well as R&B and jump blues. A naturally talented and self-taught guitarist and vocalist, he was known to seamlessly improvise new lyrics and add new riffs to popular songs at his live performances.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Valens got his stage name from his record label, who suggested he have a more "American-sounding" name in order to appeal to a wider audience i.e. cater to the racial and ethnic prejudice of the time in order establish a career. Valens reluctantly agreed but remained firmly planted in his Mexican roots, recording a rock & roll version of the traditional folk song "La Bamba", which held the number one spot on the US and UK singles charts in the same year. Despite not being a native speaker, Valens learned and performed the song entirely in the original Spanish to display his immense pride in his heritage. The success of "La Bamba" as a Spanish-language track in a predominately American genre effectively set the stage for Latin and Chicano rock and also sent a message to the largely prejudiced population that while they could change his name to sell records, Valens would never abandon his ancestry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On February 3rd, 1959 regarded by many as "the day that music died", Valens along with fellow music greats Buddy Holly and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, perished in a plane crash mere minutes after take-off. Valens was only 17-years-old. Despite his brief time on Earth, however, his legacy as the first Latino to successfully crossover into mainstream music has inspired countless generations after him to do the same.</div>

5. DIEGO RIVERA</h3>
<div>
One of Mexico's greatest artists, Diego Rivera is credited with catalyzing the muralistic art movement along with Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. A revolutionary who used his art as a tool of social and political activism, Rivera courted controversy frequently throughout his career. His work promoted populist philosophies, that is, supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite. These ideas of social and political change in favor of the working class directly influenced President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs which helped to get American citizens back on their feet after being ravaged by the Great Depression.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rivera has strong ties to Detroit as well, having painted the mural that lines the walls of Garden Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts, which he himself called his masterpiece and favorite of his career. The mural, entitled <i>Detroit Industry</i>, was commissioned by Edsel Ford and William Valentiner. It depicts Detroit's manufacturing industry as well as others such as medical and chemical. In true Rivera style, the mural also depicts scenes that were considered "radical" and "blasphemous" at the time (such as workers of different races working side by side) which earned him a great deal of criticism. Little did the critics know, he was actually painting a window to the future, as the Detroit of today is one of the most racially and culturally diverse cities in the country.</div>

WESTLAND, Mich., -- Between harsh winters and the drastic freeze/thaw cycles we experience heading into springtime, terrible roads are an unfortunate yet ever-present part of life in the Mitten State. Potholes the size of Godzilla's foot! Crevasses with their own zip codes! Okay, maybe we're being a bit dramatic, but its bad this time of year, and the thing that suffers the most is your alignment and suspension.<br />
<br />
This <b>National Car Care Month</b>, <span style="background-color: white;">North Brothers Ford wants to</span> share with you some <b>tips for checking your alignment and suspension</b> to make sure your vehicle is running at its best.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both;">
ALIGNMENT</h3>
<div>
Over time, things like potholes, dirt/uneven roads, and regular driving can take a toll on your vehicle's wheel alignment. However, road conditions get particularly nasty here during the winter here in Michigan<span style="background-color: white;">,</span> so it's extremely important that you check up on your alignment when Mother Nature finally decides to let up for the season.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When your wheels aren't properly aligned, your car has to work harder to move thus causing its performance to suffer. Spring alignment care is important because it maximizes tire life, performance, and fuel efficiency.<span style="background-color: white;"> <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">Scheduling an alignment check at North Brothers Ford</a></span><a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm"> is quick and easy</a>, and here are some signs for you to look out for in the meantime:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Your car pulls to one side</li>
<li>Vibrations in the steering wheel</li>
<li>Visible uneven tire tread wear</li>
<li>Squealing tires</li>
<li>Your steering wheel turns while traveling straight</li>
</ul>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<h3>
SUSPENSION</h3>
<div>
Your vehicle's suspension is responsible for controlling the bounce and impacts of certain rough road conditions and helps to keep the tires in contact with the road. It also helps to provide consistent handling, control rolling and swaying, encourages even tire and brake wear, and contributes to overall passenger comfort. Spring suspension care is especially important after experiencing treacherous road conditions during the winter (and let's be honest, even well into spring). You can easily<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm"> schedule a suspension check-up at North Brothers Ford</a>, should you notice any of the following warning signs:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Hard steering</li>
<li>Heavy tipping feeling when turning</li>
<li>Nose-dive stops</li>
<li>Rough ride</li>
<li>Excessive bounce</li>
<li>Low riding height of the vehicle</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
Michigan roads wreak havoc on your <i>alignment and suspension</i>, but North Brothers Ford has your back with <i>tips to keep them regularly checked and in top working condition</i>.

<br />
WESTLAND, Mich. -- On April, 22nd we celebrate Earth Day. A global event in which over 1 billion people and 192 countries participate, Earth Day is when we give back to the planet for everything it gives us, as well as raise awareness about environmental issues. Everyone celebrates Earth Day differently, and even the smallest thing can make a huge difference, but the main idea is the same: honor Mother Earth.<br />
<br />
<b>From us at <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/">North Brothers Ford</a>, here are some ways you can make a difference this Earth Day.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img alt="5 Ways to Make a Difference this Earth Day - April 22nd" border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="360" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimFVLsx1_JdOkMPu1394jjfX3gJPF1QoCfoiRAGQD4U9lRj-TOFt85SAYXQ_6uP74uvYEnSaXH_X-uRsVZ04kXZoZc4gbm3GaAEkue2QosOOxyn7QsNCrt7807_tXPOIBy3prun1slh43t/s640/matkasse.jpg" title="5 Ways to Make a Difference this Earth Day - April 22nd" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h3>
<b>1. DITCH PLASTIC, GO REUSABLE</b></h3>
<div>
Every year, the world uses around 500 billion plastic bags, many of which end up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans. A simple way you can help to reduce this number is to get a reusable shopping bag. Most major supermarket chains offer their own at the checkout for as little as $1.00, which is a small price to pay if it means helping to preserve our planet's water, including our beloved Great Lakes. On top of that, reusable shopping bags are exceptionally sturdy, not to mention spacious. Not only will you be helping to reduce waste, but you also won't have to deal with your groceries plummeting to the ground through the bottom of a flimsy plastic bag.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/"><img alt="5 Ways to Make a Difference this Earth Day - April 22nd" border="0" data-original-height="294" data-original-width="456" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsI2ShJT8TJWKsRo2XiBszQKkcPiFWr6eNWGMrM8U4ErwaiB8KwGhIGldnGF-njOLeBKIRUEmnYTdCF_-NzZzUzb0IFt6MpNlwOUc6150KU8jnoyVQ1_Tjt-hJjMEWLxjIUnzOlGfR1Qho/s640/foodsafetyquiz_456px.jpg" title="5 Ways to Make a Difference this Earth Day - April 22nd" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<b>2. GO VEGETARIAN</b></h3>
<div>
The meat industry is responsible for about 20% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit radiant energy within the infrared thermal range, causing the greenhouse gas effect otherwise known as "global warming." Now to a Michigander, a rise in temperatures isn't exactly unwelcome. However, what if we told you that global warming not only warms our planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere but has also been proven to be linked to <b>harsher and longer winters</b>? Because a lot more goes into winter than just temperature. Snowfall depends on the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Due to the effects of climate change melting the planet's gargantuan arctic glaciers, all of that formerly frozen water evaporates into the atmosphere, thus dramatically increasing moisture levels and contributing to beefier snowstorms. On top of that, warmer temperatures in the Arctic affect the jet stream, which in turn affects how long severely cold or warm temperatures hang around. Either way, it's not a good thing at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now the good news is you don't have to go full veg if you don't want to, because going meat-free just once a week (popularly known as Meatless Mondays) can make a real difference. For example, if you gave up meat one day a week over the course of one year, the environmental effect is equivalent to that of taking your car off the road for 320 miles. Switching to a plant-based diet also does a lot to reduce our use of energy, water, and gas.</div>
<div>

<h3>
3. GREEN UP YOUR RIDE</h3>
<div>
According to the EPA, the average passenger vehicle lets off 5.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year, making the transportation sector responsible for 27% of America's greenhouse gas emissions. One way to help cut this down is to cut down on car usage whenever possible, and simply walk or ride a bike. If everyone did this just once every two weeks, billions of gallons of gasoline would be conserved. On top of that, every mile pedaled or walked keeps about one pound of CO2 out of the air we breathe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, not everyone's day-to-day can accommodate giving up regularly giving up cars. Most major auto companies including Ford, however, offer hybrid options like the <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/showroom/2018/Ford/Fusion%20Hybrid/Sedan.htm">2018 Fusion Hybrid</a>, and they do a heck of a lot of good. Hybrid models of mid-sized sedans, mid-sized and full-sized SUVs reduce smog-producing gas emissions 15%, 19%, and 21%, respectively than conventional vehicles. Let's also not forget the crazy gas mileage hybrids provide, with the 2018 Fusion Hybrid offering 43 city/41 highway. Not only does this do a lot of good for the planet, but also for your wallet.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
4. GO PAPERLESS AND RECYCLE</h3>
<div>
The average American uses about 728 pounds of paper every year, which is a ton of trees being cut down. Deforestation is a threat to not only the environment but to our survival. The rainforests of South America produce 20% of the planet's oxygen, and forests in general help to keep greenhouse gases under control since they absorb carbon dioxide in order to produce oxygen. As they continue to disappear and be replaced by industries like pulp and paper, we can expect our climate change issue to get even worse, on top of the threat of running out of oxygen to sustain life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Going paperless is a simple yet highly impactful way you can make a difference for the better. Most financial institutions nowadays offer a paperless billing option to send your account statements and other important documents to your inbox rather than your mailbox. For paper things that you can't avoid, like junk mail, resolve to throw it in the recycle bin rather than the trash can. The more paper we can reuse, the fewer trees that need to be cut down to make more. If the US alone cut its paper consumption by just 10%, it would reduce the same amount of greenhouse gases as taking 280,000 cars off the road.</div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
5. PERFORM A HOME ENERGY AUDIT</h3>
<div>
Drafty windows or an old refrigerator are more than just annoying, they're energy wasters, which in turn wastes resources as well as tons of your money every year. The Department of Energy published a guide that shows you how to perform a DIY energy audit and how to make real changes that can significantly impact your energy consumption and monthly bills for the better.</div>

WESTLAND, Mich. -- The fluids that run through your vehicle, while responsible for specific things, all serve a common purpose of improving your vehicle's function, performance, and efficiency.

Working in tandem with your wiper blades, washer fluid allows you clear visibility through your windshield, helping to wash away precipitation residue and debris. Whether or not your vehicle has an indicator light alerting you to low levels of washer fluid, it's important to get in the habit of checking it yourself so you always have a way to clear the windshield and have an unhindered view of the road ahead while driving. The opening to your vehicle's washer fluid tank can be found under the hood, indicated by a picture of a windshield on the cap. Most reservoirs will accept a full gallon of washer fluid when empty, though make sure to pour slowly and evenly whether you're topping off or filling up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When purchasing washer fluid, make sure you're getting a pre-diluted solution, otherwise, you risk it freezing in the tank. The next thing to pay attention to is temperature threshold, indicated on the label on the bottle, which tells you if the washer fluid will handle the temperatures you'll be driving in. If you're unsure about refilling your vehicle's washer fluid yourself, <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">we'll happily top it off for you with your next oil change!</a></div>

<h3>
OIL CHANGE</h3>
<div>
Oil is an extremely important component of a well-running vehicle, as it lubricates the moving parts of your engine, helps to reduce heat caused by friction, keeps the engine clean, and protects it against wear. Routinely having your oil changed can help you avoid expensive damage in the long-run, as well as enhance the overall longevity of your car. Routine oil changes should be done every 3,000-5,000 miles, or sometimes longer depending on your driving habits and if your vehicle uses synthetic oil. If you're not sure, always consult your owner's manual.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, if you have any upcoming road trips or other spring and summer activities that will put you on the road more often, <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">stop in for an oil change</a> to ensure your vehicle can handle it and that your engine runs smoothly.</div>

<h3>
COOLANT</h3>
<div>
Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is responsible for controlling the temperature of various engine components. It serves a dual purpose of keeping the radiators in your vehicle from freezing or overheating throughout the year. When should you get it changed? We recommend replacing your coolant every two years or 24,000 miles. However, as always, check your owner's manual for the specific needs of your make and model.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you suspect that your engine may be overheating or detect a sweet smell while driving that might indicate a coolant leak, <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">let us know</a> and our service experts will gladly check it for you and top it off if needed. With warmer temperatures on the way, spring is the perfect time to check your coolant fluid checked to prevent overheating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Your washer fluid, oil, and coolant are all important fluids you should have checked this National Car Care Month.</i> All three fluids serve crucial purposes that are essential to a well-running vehicle and work together to ensure your safety as well as that of your investment. To perform their duties, however, they need your help. If you're uncomfortable checking or changing these fluids yourself, the friendly team at North Brothers Ford will gladly do it for you! <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">Schedule an appointment today!</a></div>

BUT, that doesn't mean you can't take actions to prevent some of these unexpected service costs. We're talking routine maintenance! Last week we discussed what you can do to maintain your tires, but this week we're going to provide you some <b>tips for taking care of your engine</b> - the most important part of your vehicle! Because there are many components that make up the engine, like spark plugs, pistons, crankshafts, etc., it can seem complicated. Maintaining the engine, however, is relatively simple.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRi_GoszN4zunwVHMPFKcAk4FZLRXUyhLtgwKdy2dsdblZ5EJHDOIi9N-aUIjc_Ye7sQ-mKLGljT1_Kx8x6_uwaea5aAx2hy8_SX4CAt5_tr21ZDbuBshxFKD6r7T6UVci8FmeQGEAiSM/s1600/2017-Ford-Fusion-SE-EcoBoost-engine-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="National Car Care Month - Tips for Taking Care of Your Engine" border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1360" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRi_GoszN4zunwVHMPFKcAk4FZLRXUyhLtgwKdy2dsdblZ5EJHDOIi9N-aUIjc_Ye7sQ-mKLGljT1_Kx8x6_uwaea5aAx2hy8_SX4CAt5_tr21ZDbuBshxFKD6r7T6UVci8FmeQGEAiSM/s640/2017-Ford-Fusion-SE-EcoBoost-engine-02.jpg" title="National Car Care Month - Tips for Taking Care of Your Engine" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="background-color: blue; color: white;">ENGINE MAINTENANCE TIPS</span></i></b></h2>
Let's begin with oil changes. <b>The #1 best thing you can do to keep your engine running smoothly is to get regular oil changes.</b> While they're needed much more frequently that belt replacements, or other routine maintenance services, they're relatively inexpensive and do a world of good for your engine. What exactly does your oil do for your engine?<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It removes heat from the engine</li>
<li>It absorbs debris to protect the engine</li>
<li>It lubricates the moving parts</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Ignoring oil changes can lead to dark, gritty oil that can not only hurt your car's performance but put your engine at risk for overheating or premature wear. By not changing your oil frequently enough, you'll also build up engine sludge which isn't something that can be cleaned or removed without taking the engine apart (a very costly service). So, just be sure to keep a routine of getting an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles. If you forget when you last had an oil change, you can easily <a href="http://www.dummies.com/home-garden/car-repair/how-to-check-your-vehicles-oil-level/">check the dipstick </a>to see how it's doing. Alternatively, you can bring it in to our Service Center in Westland to have it inspected.<br />
<br />
Another service you can have completed with your oil changes that will help keep your engine clean is filter replacements! Y<b>ou should have an oil filter replacement at every service and have your air filter inspected</b>. Why the oil filter at EVERY service? It filters the oil and prevents debris from getting into it! It also allows oil to flow freely to your engine, so with a blocked-up filter, you could risk engine failure or decreased fuel economy.<br />
<br />
Depending on the condition of the road or air that you're traveling through, your <b>air filter </b>might need to be replaced at every oil change, or it might. It should, however, be inspected at each oil change to make sure it's able to handle the air. Why is this important? Your engine requires air to run! The air intake mixes it with fuel to make your car go, so ensuring your car is able to take in air the way it needs to is essential to a well running vehicle.<br />
<br />
Lastly, your coolant. This is a fluid, otherwise known as antifreeze that rotates through your radiator hoses and cools your engine. If your engine were to overheat, it would warp and not function properly, so coolant and your radiator hoses are a powerful thing. All you have to do is <b>keep an eye on the level of your coolant, and have it changed or "flushed"every 40,000 miles</b>. If you happen to see a decrease, or even a spot of bright colors as a puddle underneath your vehicle, it's time to have it checked out right away! The techs at North Brothers will take a look at your radiator for any cracks or damage and make sure it's completely safe to be back on the road before you leave our dealership.<br />

WESTLAND, Mich.–– Sometimes we all just need to take a step back and relax. It's good for you and takes less time than you think. Stress is measured as physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. It lives inside each and every one of us in many different ways, whether it's work related, an issue with a relationship, or something else causing your brain to go wild. The amount of American's that experience stress has increased over the past few years, making it increasingly important for people to find new ways to cope with lifestyle changes and issues affecting them day after day. We want to ensure that you take the time you need to alleviate some of the pressure you are feeling. Try one of these <b>10 ways to relieve stress for National Stress Awareness Day - April 16th</b>:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Exercise Regularly</b><br />
Performing daily exercise is an easy and effective way to combat stress, especially after a long day of work. Putting your body through physical stress can actually take away some of your mental stress. Find an activity that you enjoy, such as walking, running, dancing, or even yoga. This will be a great way for you to take a load off!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Sleep Longer and Better</b><br />
A lack of sleep can really cause a significant amount of stress on your body. When thoughts keep whirling through our head at night, it's harder to fall asleep. Relax before bed time to ensure you can enjoy a good night's rest. Avoid using your smart phone device, drinking caffeine, and performing demanding work before bed time. This will keep your brain calm and help you fall asleep faster!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Practice Deep Breathing</b><br />
Stress on your brain ignites your sympathetic nervous system, sending your body into "fight-or-flight" mode. This releases stress hormones, getting you all worked up inside. Practicing deep breathing exercises will activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the relaxation response. Focus on the awareness of your breath to slow it down and make it deeper.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Light a Candle</b><br />
Burn a scented candle or use essential oils to calm your body and reduce any feelings of stress and anxiety. There are certain scents that have been known to be especially soothing. These include lavender, rose, vetiver, bergamot, roman chamomile, neroli, frankincense, sandalwood, ylang ylang, orange, and geranium.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Listen to Music</b><br />
Music works as a helpful tool in treating many different things. It can have a very relaxing effect on the body and helps us manage our stress levels. Whether you prefer to listen to your favorite tunes or you rely on soothing sounds, music is a great stress reliever! Turn it on, crank it up, and jam to some music that'll take your mind away.<br />

<br />
<b>6. Spend Time With Your Pet</b><br />
Studies show that owning a pet, specifically a dog, reduces your levels of stress and improves your mood. Interacting with pets along with cuddling, can spark a positive mood and make you feel much better. Owning a pet gives you a sense of purpose, keeps you active, and provides a companion.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. Learn to Say No</b><br />
A lot of stress can be caused by having too much to do in too little of time. We tend to take on more responsibility than we can handle, causing our minds to lose control. Although you may want to take on every task, our bodies weren't meant to perform too much work. Juggle your responsibilities better by only taking on enough for your body to handle. Sometimes it's okay to just say no!<br />
<br />
<b>8. Take a Walk</b><br />
Taking a quiet, meditative stroll, will work wonders in terms of stress relief. Even a simple walk around the block will free our minds and keep us calm. The outdoors are a great place to take our mind off everything and just enjoy the atmosphere. Don't rush, just take the time to relax and stroll.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Chew Some Gum</b><br />
This is a relatively effective method for quick stress relief. Studies show that people who chew gum have lower stress and a greater sense of well-being. Gum chewing relaxes people and promotes blood flow to the brain. So, throw in a piece if you're starting to feel overwhelmed!<br />
<br />
<b>10. Laugh It Out</b><br />
Laughing is a great mood booster and anxiety reliever. It brings more oxygen into your body, stimulates and relieves your stress response, and relieves tension in your muscles, ultimately relaxing your body. Watch a funny show or listen to a comedian for a good laugh. It's great for your health all the way around!<br />

<br />
WESTLAND, Mich.–– During <b>National Car Care Month</b>, it's the perfect time to get your <b>tires </b>serviced so that you're ready to hit the road this spring. Tire care is one of the most important parts of owning a vehicle, as tires are the safety buffer between you and the road. It's crucial that your vehicle has adequate tire tread, properly rotated tires, and accurate tire inflation all year round. Ensure that your ride can handle the wet road conditions this season will bring by reading these tips:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Tire Rotations</span></b><br />
It is recommended that your tires are rotated every 3,000-7,000 miles, or every other oil change. Tires can wear unevenly, which is why it's critical to rotate them every so often to ensure they receive even wear across all four tires.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Tire Tread</span></b><br />
Your tires' tread is what allows your vehicle to grip the road properly. Low tire tread puts you at risk for hydroplaning when the road is wet or losing traction during other conditions. It can also increase your stopping distance, putting you at larger risk of an accident. Check your tire tread using the <a href="https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tread-and-trend/drivers-ed/how-to-check-your-tire-tread-penny-test">penny method</a> or have our team of experts <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">inspect them</a> for you!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Tire Pressure</span></b><br />
The temp outside can directly effect the air pressure in your tires. By maintaining your car's proper tire pressure, you will experience improved fuel economy, less tire issues, and a much smoother ride. Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended PSI to make sure your tires match that amount. If they don't, it's time for them to be filled.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. New Tires</span></b><br />
Did you put on snow tires for the winter season? It's time to take them off! It's best to change back to all-season tires this spring. Winter tires are only built to handle 45 degrees Fahrenheit and under. If your tire tread is worn down, it's time for you to get a new set! We recommend replacing all four tires at the same time. <a href="https://www.northbrothersford.net/service/index.htm">Schedule an appointment</a> with our service team and we'll get your vehicle into a new set of wheels in no time!<br />
<br />
<br />
Rough winter weather can impact your vehicle's tires tremendously. And spring weather isn't much safer with slippery road conditions. By staying up to date with routine tire maintenance, you can rest assure that your ride will be effective in gripping the road this season. Now's the time to get your car's <i>tires</i> up to speed during <i>National Car Care Month</i>.<br />

<br />
<br />
WESTLAND, Mich.–– Every year, vehicles become damaged from severe storms and hurricanes throughout the United States. And now that spring is here, excessive rain is sure to follow. It's important to know <b>how to protect your vehicle from flood damage </b>in the event of high flood waters. If you aren't careful when driving through flooded areas, your water can become susceptible to water damage, leaving you with a lofty auto service bill. Cover your bases with this how-to guide:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Avoid Flooded Areas & Take a Different Route</span></b><br />
If you are aware of flooded areas along your normal route, check and see if there is a different road that you can take that'll get you to your destination. Even if takes a little bit longer, it's worth it to protect your ride from high waters.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Stop & Assess Floods Before Driving Through</span></b><br />
You can never be too sure of the depth of the water or the state of the road underneath. It's best if you try and gauge the depth and possible currents to ensure your vehicle doesn't become flooded or swept away! The rule of thumb is to never drive through water that is more than six-inches deep.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Be Careful When Passing Other Cars</b></span><br />
Avoid following and crossing paths with other drivers that could cause you to stray off your intended path. Large vehicles are extremely hazardous because they can create waves that push water higher than expected.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Lower Your Speed</span></b><br />
If you decide to drive through high water, it is recommended that you enter at 1-2 mph. Any faster and your car might hydroplane, causing you to lose control.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Keep Revving Your Engine</span></b><br />
Once you're in the water, try and keep your car's revs up. This will prevent water from being sucked back into the exhaust. Accelerating up to 4-5 mph will create a small wave that will protect your car's engine from the high water.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Try Not to Stall Out</span></b><br />
When trying to clear a flooded area of the road, the most important thing to do is prevent your vehicle from stalling. In the event that your car does stall, try and start your car right away. The longer you wait, the further the water will creep up your exhaust.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">7. Dry Your Brakes</span></b><br />
Even if you make it safely through the flooded water, you're not done yet. It's crucial to dry your brakes out for them to work properly. For the next few miles, drive slowly and regularly apply the brakes to heat them up and allow the water to evaporate.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although it is possible to drive through a little bit of flooded water, we highly recommend that you avoid driving through it as a whole. Ensuring that your ride performs its best at all times is our goal. Make sure you know <i>how to protect your vehicle from flood damage</i> by following our guide! In the event that your car runs into issues from flooded water, bring it in immediately to our service department. We will fix any major issues you have and get your ride back to you in no time!
