Phrases, Shows, and People we hope aren't popular in 2014

2013 is dwindling down and we like to reflect on some of this year's most popular phrases, shows, and people we hope to quickly forget about in the new year:

8)  Reality shows that make people in the south look really bad - example: Swamp People, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Duck Dynasty, etc.
7)  Anything related to a Kardashian - this is unrealistic to think that they will somehow go away quietly from the public eye but I'm trying to throw it out in the universe in hopes they will become irrelevant in 2014.
6)  FroYo - what happened to the good old days of ice cream?
5)  Dennis Rodman - there's no "rebounding" from your new friendship with your bud from North Korea.  Next time you visit... please stay.
4)  Pretzel Burgers - There's no need to try and fix something that's not broke.
3)  Twerking - no need to elaborate
2)  The phrase, "Y.O.L.O!" (you only live once).  This is an obvious statement... of course you only live once... why scream it in a bar while dancing horrible to house music.
1)  Taking a "selfie"

Be an Angel this holiday season

Let's be honest, Christmas comes earlier every year. We don't want to rush past turkey day but we are passionate about another thing other than cars. At Sport Durst Automotive, we like to help people. Stop by and pick up an angel tree and bring back a gift to give to children of Durham. Here's a little more info...

Christmas Angel Tree:

The true impact of the Great Recession is tough to measure. Americans have lost money, jobs and homes. Our families and friends may have fallen on hard times. Some who had little to begin with now have less and are working harder everyday to make it to tomorrow. These same families who are struggling to meet the financial demands of day-to-day life question how they might provide a gift or two for their children on Christmas Day. Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas morning. And thanks to supporters of The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, thousands of American children will find this waiting under their Christmas trees this year. The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program provides new clothing or toys for children of needy families through the support of donors. Visit Sport Durst's Chrysler Showroom, and you'll find an Angel Tree decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the first name, age and gender of a child in need of presents. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child or children described on the tags. 

Thanks to all and Happy Holidays!

5 Engine Oil Myths

We all know that our cars need engine oil in order to operate smoothly. The role of engine oil is to keep the moving parts of the engine lubricated, to protect them against rust corrosion, and -- with modern detergent oil additives -- to keep them free of sludge and general engine gunk.
But most of us also know some things about engine oil that aren't actually true. For instance, isn't it always necessary to change your oil every 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers)? And when the color of your oil starts becoming dark, doesn't that mean that it's about to fill your engine with harmful sludge?

Well, no. These ideas are myths and over the next few pages we'll debunk them, along with a few other engine oil "facts" that don't happen to be true. A little knowledge isn't necessarily a dangerous thing, but a little knowledge that doesn't happen to be true could quite possibly ruin your engine, or at least cost you a lot of unnecessary expense.

Click here to get the truth behind the 5 Engine Oil Myths from HowStuffWorks.com.

Woo Hoo! It's Thursday!

From One Second To The Next A Film By Werner Herzog

Shows the Consequences of Texting While Driving

This past August, legendary filmmaker and historian Werner Herzog released "From One Second to the Next", a short, but poignant look into the consequences of texting while driving.

The film is a PSA sponsored by four major phone companies-- AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, who originally approached Herzog to make the film in an effort to combat a growing cultural phenomenon where texting-related accidents are becoming increasingly all too common.

For Herzog, it's a sharp turn outside the norm from his usual works, which often focus on themes of isolation and wilderness, as can be seen in films like "Grizzly Man" and "Encounters At the End of the World". Nonetheless, "From One Second to the Next" is as much an accomplishment in cinema as it is an important message that should be adopted by anyone who gets behind a wheel.

2014 Sonata is ready to take the new year by storm

Sport durst welcomes the sharpest car of 

The new year!  Introducing the 2014 Hyundai 

Sonata!

DEPENDABILITY FOR THE LONG HAUL.

According to the J.D. Power 2013 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study℠, 2010 Sonata owners had fewer reported problems over the last 12 months than any other three-year-old midsize car. This industry authority and leading independent research company conducted an in-depth study of more than 37,000 original owners.

MORE STANDARD HORSEPOWER THAN

CAMRY AND ACCORD.

Sonata’s value is accelerating. Its standard 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine delivers more standard horsepower than Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord.

MAKE THE MOVE TO MORE POWER.

Time to talk turbo. The Sonata 4-cylinder 2.0-liter Turbo delivers more horsepower and torque than the V6 engines offered in Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima. Looks like it’s go time.

LARGE-CAR SPACE FOR MIDSIZE MONEY.

According to the EPA, Sonata has more total interior volume than Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima or Ford Fusion—more than any car in its class. In fact, Sonata’s interior space is actually a class larger than other midsizers. So you get the benefit of a large-car interior in a midsize sedan.

STANDARD ALLOY WHEELS.

Sonata’s fluid lines and sophisticated style are enhanced by standard 16-inch alloy wheels. What about the others? Well, steel wheels and plastic hubcaps are standard issue on Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion.

BE MORE AWARE OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU.

If you want the exhilaration of a panoramic sunroof then you’ve got to go with the Sonata LIMITED, because other midsize sedans like Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima don’t offer this feature, even as an option. And when it comes to safety, the available Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system gives you a visual warning in your side mirrors should you try to initiate a lane change while another vehicle is detected in your blind spot.

6 Car Myths That Cost You Money Every Year

Most of us view our vehicles as something between an immutable feature of daily life and a rabid, suicidal dragon that gorges on explosions until it inevitably explodes itself. That's because we all know it's only a matter of time until something goes horribly wrong with our cars, and then we're epically, mythically screwed. As a result, various rules of thumb for regular car maintenance have been passed down through the generations -- precious wisdom handed to us by our ancestors in order to stave off, for a spell, the ruinous, virgin-eating car repair monster. But many of these rules are, at best, wildly outdated and, at worst, a total waste of money.

#6. Change Your Oil Every 3,000 Miles

Photos.com
The Myth:
To maximize your engine's life, you should change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. At this point you should also say several quiet prayers to the gods of breakdowns and have a mid-ranking church official -- no lower than a nun but no higher than a bishop -- bless the water in your vehicle's coolant.

Photos.com
"I'm sorry, my child, but the Lord can't drive or bless a manual transmission."

The Reality:
The idea that you should change your car's oil every 3,000 miles is so pervasive that it has its own Wikipedia page ... specifically debunking it. This misconception has its roots laid all the way back to the 1970s, when oil technology was still developing and the engine operating environment wasn't nearly as smooth and controlled as it is today. Back then, 3,000 miles was actually a pretty good rule of thumb. So was "Never trust a European" and "Chest hair, son: Always chest hair." However, just like international relations and grooming habits, engine and oil technology have improved drastically over the decades. The life of the oil in your car has now increased far beyond that allegedly sacred 3,000-mile barrier.

So why do we hang onto it? Because no one has bothered to tell the oil-change industry. Those poor, naive fellas still "recommend" changing it every 3,000 miles, despite the fact that synthetic oils lasting up to 15,000 miles have been available for years. If only somebody would show them the backs of those bottles in their tiny, uncomfortable lobbies; why, we're sure they'd immediately mend their ways and return all that needlessly spent money of yours.

National Chocolate Milk Day

Celebrate National Chocolate Milk Day! Who doesn't crave a nice, tall glass of frothy chocolate milk? Until the 1820s, drinking chocolate was fairly uncommon and no one knew how to produce a smooth chocolate taste in liquid form. In 1828 the Van Houten company in Amsterdam invented the cocoa pressing method. This produced a light, fluffy chocolate powder that could be easily dissolved in water or milk. Today, chocolate milk is a popular beverage for people of all ages.

Chocolate milk has surprising restorative properties. In 2006, the dairy industry conducted a study and discovered that chocolate milk helps athletes with muscle recovery. It provides nine essential nutrients, making it both delicious and nutritious!

Pour yourself a nice tall glass of chocolate milk in honor of National Chocolate Milk Day!

Don't Fall Behind on Your Vehicle's Maintenance!

• Read your owner's manual and follow the manufacturer's service intervals.
• Replace worn wiper blades and keep plenty of washer fluid on hand to fight road salt, grit and other grime.
• Replace worn tires with all-season radials or snow tires, as conditions warrant. Don't forget to check the spare tire and the tire jack.
• Engine performance problems such as rough idling, poor acceleration or hard starts should be corrected before cold weather sets in. (You'll get better gasoline mileage, too.)
• Check the condition of your battery and cables, plus the radiator, and all hoses and belts.
• The cooling system/radiator should be completely flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant/antifreeze should be checked periodically. (Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled!)
• Make certain the heater and defroster are in good working condition; have the exhaust system examined for leaks, a potentially deadly condition in closed vehicles.
• Carry emergency gear: flares, boots, gloves, ice scraper, high-energy snacks, a blanket, shovel, flashlight, tire chains, a few tools and a cell phone.
