Happy Memorial Day! Looking forward to that three-day weekend? Have you noticed that the holidays are pretty poorly spaced, if you really think about it? We get a bunch of days off from the end of November to the beginning of January, and then pretty much nothing for months. It’s basically a holiday drought from January to May. But now, finally, the end is in sight. Did you know that this year is the 136th year our country will celebrate Memorial Day? Just another fact for you from your good buddy, Mike. In any case, I hope that you’ll find something fun to do to mark this “unofficial start of summer.” And if you’re ready to kick it into high gear and really get summer started right, be sure to check the Blog section below for details on this month’s hottest items and biggest steals.

Happy Spring, fellow car fanatics! We’ve clawed our way out from under yet another long winter. The days are finally getting longer again (thanks in part to the whole Spring Ahead phenomena—a.k.a. You Didn’t Need That Hour of Sleep, Did You?) And longer days mean, of course, more time to play after work. There is no better time than spring to spend some quality time working on your car. You don’t have the heat of summer, the cold of winter, or the early dark of fall. It’s perfect. Now, I think you’ll find that we’ve got some can’t-be-beat deals to get you motivated, including free shipping on several of your favorite items.

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.

Happy Holidays! Hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving last week, and you didn’t crash and burn too hard after all that turkey. I think I’m still recovering, and could probably live the rest of my life happily without ever setting eyes on a turkey sandwich again. So, I guess it’s time to ask that age old question once again: Have you been naughty or nice this year? Fess up, have you been blacklisted by Santa, or do you expect to see all those things you’ve been dreaming of all year under your tree this month? Take your time, you don’t have to answer now.

Our little AUTOMEGA® elves have been super busy cooking up some great deals and working their magic all over our website. Take a look at our Web News section to figure out what you’d like to add to your wish list.

Happy Halloween, all you ghosts and goblins out there. All ready for some trick-or-treating action? Did anyone out there decorate their car for Halloween? If so, snap a picture and email it to us, the best one might just get published in next month’s issue.

So, this past weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. Can anyone guess why? No, it has nothing to do with sports. Not even anything to do with cars. Figure it out? Sure you did. It’s the whole “fall back” thing. A whole extra hour of sleep that I did nothing whatsoever to earn. Man, what a bonus. You can’t beat that. Granted, you probably actually spend more than an hour going around the house trying to change all the clocks to the new correct time, especially by the time you re-teach yourself how to set the stupid clock in the TV. So maybe you’re not really gaining much, time-wise, but it feels like you are, and that’s all that matters.

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get pretty psyched for the winter. Sure, summer is fun and all, but it’s about time to cool things down. And this month we’ve got a few items to get your holiday shopping started. Take a look at our site to see what deals we have to offer on spinning hubcaps, tail lights, and more. Also, be sure to check back next month, when we’ll be debuting another new product: Wings West body kits.

As another long and eventful summer fades into fall, I want to welcome you back again to AUTOMEGA® and remind you that we’re the real place to shop for “back to school” savings. And here’s a special welcome to our friends on the Atlantic coast. Hope you’re safe and well and Isabel doesn’t stick around too long.

So now that you’ve gotten the kids back to school, and your normal, comfortable routine is starting to resume, isn’t it about time to sit back and think about what’s ahead? For instance, did you know that according to the most recent census data available, 35% of Americans spend an hour or more in their commute to and from work each day. That’s 90+ hours between now and the end of the year alone. Now, if you enjoy your car and are happy with it, that’s not so terrible, right? But man, if you’re not happy with your car that’s an awful lot of time to be stuck in it. Not to mention the fact that, like it or not, you’re depending on your car to get you there safely and in style. This, as you may have guessed, is where we come in. Take a look at our Blog section to find just the right something to make those days in traffic a tiny bit brighter. And don’t forget to look below for this month’s coupon, because while we can’t alleviate your commute, we can make getting there a little more fun.

Well hi there. Welcome to spring. While I have you here, let me take this opportunity to remind you to change your clocks this weekend for Daylight Savings Time. That is, of course, unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii or Indiana. That’s right folks, did you know that those three states do not observe Daylight Savings? Just a little bit of trivia from your good buddy Mike!

Anyway, I hope that you and your cars have all made it through this very long winter none the worse for wear. Isn’t that first good washing and waxing you give your car in the spring a great feeling. Getting off all the salt and dirt and generic road sludge that’s been piling on week after week and coming out with a bright, shiny car that looks brand new all over again. And speaking of which, be sure to check out our tips section below for some helpful hints hints on getting that wax done just right.

This issue we’ve got all the latest on our hot new products and the low down on some really cool happenings on the website down below in the Blog section, and even a money saving coupon. So sit back, relax for a few minutes, and don’t even think about the fact that you’re losing an hour of sleep with the whole “Spring Ahead” thing, and prepare to be transported, if briefly, into a world where your car is all that matters.
