10 Things You Should Keep In Your Car This Summer

10 Things You Should Keep In Your Car This Summer
WESTLAND, Mich. - Summer is, slowly, but surely making its way to the midwest and we COULD NOT be any more excited! Just like during the winter, there are some things you should always keep in your car during the warmer months, especially with families loading into their cars and hitting up the lake-house for a summer vacation. We searched and found 10 things you should keep in your car this summer that might come in handy if you ever find yourself in a pickle:

1. Disinfectant wipes: This one was pretty obvious, and is a must have for so many things that could happen in the vehicle. From picking up spills, dusting your dashboard, to cleaning dirt hands, these will definitely come in handy during your car trips this year!

2. Pen and paper: You never know that you need these until your franticly searching your car to write down a tow-truck number or directions.

3. Energy bars: These delicious snacks are high in calories, non-perishable, and high in protein which can hold you, or your tired kids, over until the tow truck arrives or Roadside Assistance comes to your aid while your stranded in a thunderstorm.

4. Bottled water: We feel like this is obvious, but you would be surprised! Keeping water available keeps you hydrated on unexpectedly long car rides. Remember to keep the bottles out of the sunlight, and replace the water every month to keep it fresh!

5. Maps: Yes we know your car has GPS, as does your phone, and probably your watch and your kids mobile game... HOWEVER in the event that you lose ALL GPS or mapping device power, remember to keep a U.S map, state map, and country map in your vehicle so, in the event of getting lost, you'll always be able to find your way home, or to the nearest drugstore to get a phone charger.

6. WD-40: Lug nuts can be loosened, door latches can be lubricated, and so much more can be done with a can of this iconic tool!

7. Duct tape: This is great for a quick temporary fix! It can hold your muffler in place, reattaching a side-view mirror or cleaning any dog hair that gets on your clothes.

8. Kitty litter: Didn't think you would see this on here did you? Kitty litter absorbs and eliminates odor, which is PERFECT to use quickly if a pet or child gets sicks in your car.

9. Utility knife: Having a knife, screwdriver, file and can opener, this multi-tool can handle a million different problems! You won't be sorry by splurging and getting one with scissors, pliers and even a magnifying glass... Trust us, you won't be sorry!

10. Matches: Keep a few matchboxes in a freezer bag so they'll stay dry. You never know when the situation will arise.  

These are 10 things you should keep in your car this summer, just in case you find yourself stranded on I-96 in a rainstorm, you won't be sorry! Do you have anything you HAVE to keep in your car?

How To Use Advanced Parking Assist

WESTLAND, Mich. – One of the great features of new Ford models is that Enhanced Park Assist. The parking system upgraded Ford’s prior automatic parallel-parking assist to now automatically park the vehicle in a standard parking spot. This feature is incredibly handy and easy to use, as you can see in this video, "How To Use Advanced Parking Assist" : 


As you can see the Enhanced Parking Assist is extremely stress-free to use. The side parking sensors advance on today's front and rear parking sensors to warn the driver if the vehicle is too close to objects on the side. It is so easy to show you how to use Advanced Parking Assist, and this feature would be perfect for any of those first time drivers, city dwellers, or families that need a bit of assistance when it comes to parallel parking or backing into a parking spot.

Ford Is Named A 2015 World’s Most Ethical Company

Ford Is Named A 2015 World’s Most Ethical Company

WESTLAND, Mich. – Since 2010, Ford Motor Company has been named one of the world’s most ethical companies, and 2015 is no different! Ford is named a 2015 world’s most ethical company for the FIFTH year in a row! Not only was Ford named to the Ethisphere Institute’s list, but they were the ONLY automaker to do so, congrats Ford Motor Company!

Ethishere honors companies for leading in ethics and compliance; corporate citizenship and responsibility; culture of ethics, governance and leadership; innovation; and reputation. This amazing honor comes at a time in which the way a company conducts its business is viewed as every bit as important as the products and services it provides. “The World’s Most Ethical Company assesment is based on a framework developed by the Ethisphere Institute to assess an organization’s top performance,” said Timothy Erblich, Ethisphere C.E.O, “Earning the recognition involves the collective action of a global work force from the top down. We congratulate everyone at Ford for this extraordinary achievement.”

Ford is named a 2015 World’s Most Ethical Company, and this amazing achievement correlates with research showing a reputation for ethics and a general trust in a managing and executive team.  This is a very important award for Ford, especially in regards to its popularity with Millennials and Generation Z members, both of which seem to want to do their business with companies who actually do indeed share their values and have an impact on the world.
