Buying a car or truck as you already know is a big investment. For some of us who don’t own our own house, it is most likely our largest investment. So when we shop for that used car or truck it is natural that we we want to know about the vehicle we are getting. Has it been in an accident? Were there any major repairs done to the vehicle?

These are important questions. A used car dealer may know the history of the vehicle, but most of the time the cars and trucks that you see on a local car dealer lot come from auctions and your dealer will not know the history. At least half of the time you trade in your vehicle it will end up at a dealer auction. And MOST of the time you turn in your leased vehicle it will end up at auction. So how are we supposed to know what happened to this vehicle that we are eying? What am I getting into here?

Why would someone take the time to send me that question I’ll never know. That said, rather than sending an email reply I thought I’d post it instead. There must be lots of other drivers out there that probably want to tie their body kits into a knot too. Surely there is absolutely nothing else to do, so lets try it..

It turns out that in some instances it is quite possible to do so without harming the part depending on the body kit part that you are working with, and it would obviously depend on the knot. So can I tie it into a:

 - Square Knot?   - NO
 - Figure Eight?   - NO
 - Overhand? - Well, read on…

Hi again, my fellow auto fanatics. Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to visit with us and see what is going on in AUTOMEGA® world. So, with the Autumn Equinox in September this year, we’ve got less than a week to go until the official end of summer. Although I know it probably felt like the end of summer as soon as you finished that last Labor day long weekend. Did you know that the ancient Greeks celebrated this time of year (the Equinox, not Labor day, in case you were wondering) with huge festivals in honor of the upcoming harvests? And while we know there probably aren’t many of you prepping for a harvest, and we don’t actually have a festival, we do have some great end-of-summer savings we’d like to pass on to you.

Happy New Year! Well, we made it through another one, huh? Let’s see…we’re a few weeks in now. That means, essentially, that the year is still “new” enough to legitimately wish someone a “Happy New Year”, but enough days have passed that the majority of us have already thrown all resolutions right out the window. You know, since all New Year’s resolutions seem to get broken so quickly maybe next year we should resolve to exercise less and eat more junk food. Who knows, it could work.

All right, I suppose I have to congratulate the Panthers and the Patriots in winning their conference championships. Please note that I don’t necessarily want to, but I have to. I would rather be congratulating the Eagles, but clearly that just isn’t going to happen. Instead, the Eagles get the dubious honor of losing three straight conference championships for the first time since the Cowboys held the record with their 1980-83 streak. Remind me again why I continue to watch football…

Anyway, well you all have been just going about your business, enjoying the whole 2005 vibe, we here at CustomAutoTrim.com have been burning the midnight oil getting some new deals cooking up for you on the site.

Did you know the first day of Spring is less than a month away? March 20th to be exact. Does it feel like it yet? Ha! Probably not to many of our subscribers who are living in the tundra—I mean the northeast. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, good old Mother Nature has taken the opportunity this winter to pick us up by the ears and toss us around a few times, but rest assured that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually (alright, maybe not by March 20th) you’ll start to see things melt and you’ll once again be able to pack away your jackets and take off your snow tires. You’ve probably already started to notice the days getting a little longer and maybe it’s even still light out when you get home from work in the evening. Beautiful isn’t it. Before you know it, it’ll be warm enough and light enough for you to start spending some good old fashioned quality time with your car after work, and we’ve got a few products that we’d highly recommend for breaking you (and your car) out of the winter doldrums.

Nothing says spring has sprung like some hot new ground effects or a saucy new spoiler. Or hook yourself up with our vinyl flame graphics, but be warned—these babies are so sizzling they might just melt the snow right off your car! All these things and more can be found at CustomAutoTrim.com. And find out the latest site news below in our Blog section.
