This Is The Season To Be Covering Your Vehicles


Winter is here and your car needs protection. Better yet, why not give the gift of protection to those you love this holiday season. Vehicle covers can be a welcome gift, especially when the snow is piling up outside. For your friend who just purchased a new car, for your granddads 57 Chevy, whatever the case, you can't go wrong protecting their vehicles. Make this holiday a happy one for the ones you love.

Why cover your vehicles? Depending on where you live this winter there are covers to keep your vehicles protected and dry. Winter really is hard on your vehicles, the ice and moisture can damage the finish on your vehicles and if you have a leak then your interior will suffer also. There are several types of covers to chose from, like the one layer covers for using in your garage or when you park your vehicle under a carport. Then there are covers that have more than one layer, like the three and four layer covers for covering your vehicles exterior in the winter weather. The three layer car covers protect your vehicles from the sun, rain, ice and snow. The 4 layer covers can protect you from all the elements and also be very nice to your cars paint job with the extra inside layer of fleece.

How to find the car cover you need. There are several places you can look, for instance auto parts stores, retail stores and more. You may decide to do it the easy way, online using the internet to search out the cover you need. There are many search engines to use, the top are Google, Yahoo. MSN and Bing. These search engines are easy to use and will help you narrow down the sites to make your car cover purchase. Just enter the search phrase to find the type of cover for your vehicle, like car cover, truck cover, SUV cover etc. Be sure you check there shipping, warranty and return policies. You may also want to check to see if there has been any complaints filled against their website.

The holidays are just a few weeks away so now is the time to get your order in and have time to receive and wrap your gift and get it under the tree. When you make your cover purchase you might want to check with the shipping department to see if it will arrive in time for the holidays. The gift of a vehicle cover will be a wonderful thing to do for somebody you love. And every time they use the cover in the mornings and they don't have to scrape their car windows before work, I'm sure they will be thinking of you. That makes a vehicle cover a great gift for the holidays.

Were Back From Ecuador


Hello everybody we are back from Ecuador and have some Videos and Pictures to share with you. We loved the country and have made plans to go back soon. The country of Ecuador is feeling the effects of global warming. This is the rainy season and they haven't had any rain yet. Many of the states to the south in Ecuador are running out of water to make there electricity and they are having to ration the power, in the evenings the power is off till early mornings. The people and animals are suffering from the lack of rain and we hope it will rain soon.

We were going to go to the south and to see more of Ecuador but we just stayed in the Northern Highlands around Cotacachi, Otavalo and Iabarra. There were many reports about the worst drought in 50 years happening in the South of Ecuador. So we just stayed in the North and maybe on our next trip to Ecuador we will visit the South. Even thought we stayed in the North we still had a very good time, there was more then we could visit in one week. So, all in all it was a great time and we plan to go back soon.

Here are some videos from our trip.

Trip To Cotacachi Ecuador

Quito, Ecuador

Hello everybody; my wife Elin and I are heading to Ecuador this coming week and would love to share the trip with you. We will be landing on Sunday, November 8 at 1:44 pm at Mariscal Sucre Intl. airport in Quito Ecuador. This city is set in a valley which sits at an elevation of 9,500 ft. and the mountains around it range from 16,000 to 20,000 ft. in elevation. From there we will rent an SUV and drive North to Otavalo to stay the first night. Otavalo is home of the largest outdoor market place in South America. I'm sure my wife and I will love looking for gifts for our friends and family back home, especially since it's close to the holidays. The people of Ecuador are wonderful, and make all kinds of cloths made from alpaca wool, and we're told the fresh vegetables are the best, you can buy two dozen roses for $2.00, and the cost of travel is very low in their country.

Day 2: We will be going to Cotacachi just north of Otavalo about a 20 minute drive. This is where we will be looking for a place to purchase a home or condo. Elin and I have traveled to lots of places and after sometime we have decided to look in Ecuador for a future place to live. We think the time is right and the real estate market in Ecuador is looking like a good investment. Cotacachi has about 6,000 people and is famous for their leather market, they even have a street called Leather Street. There are cities very close to Cotacachi that have all the big stores and they can be reached in a quick 40 minute drive. We will spend two or three days there.

Day 3 & 4: Heading South back through Quito to the city of Ambato pop. 215,000. This city is known for their flowers. They have a street market where you can buy a big variety of beautiful flowers, We will spend the day there and then off to Banos pop.15,000. The land of waterfalls and mountain biking, Taking a road called "La Ruta de las Cascadas" ( Highway of the waterfalls) from Banos to Puyo. On this road you will find the 8th wonder of the world here a waterfall called Pailon del Diablo (Devil's Cauldron) which is breath taking. You can check this out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgOdywQGDRo&feature=related. We will stay at www.hostel-banos-pequenoparaiso.com for a day to unwind and relax, and then off to Cuenca.

Day 5: Cuenca pop. 420,000. After Quito, Cuenca is Ecuador's most important and beautiful colonial city. This is our second choice for a home or condo. We have heard a lot of good things about Cuenca and plan to check it out. This will be as far south as we will travel. We will be heading back North after a day or so. Most likely to the coast and then North to Quito for our flight home. We will be taking videos and lots of pictures so come back and check this blog again after Nov. 20 and see what we have found on our trip to Ecuador.

Vehicle Covers Make Great Gifts!

So winter has come in with a bang, and the holidays will soon be upon us. Time to start thinking about your family and friends, what can I get them this year for the holidays? I know one thing that makes a great gift for your family and friends, a car cover. Just think how many times you wished you had a car cover so you didn't have to clear the snow and ice off your vehicle so early in the morning. So, I’m sure if you purchase a vehicle cover as a gift for them they will be very happy.

There are many companies that sell vehicle covers on the Internet, and all you have to do is use the search engines to find what you are looking for. If you need a cover for any type of vehicle just enter the search phrase in the search box and you are on your way to finding the vehicle cover you need. When you are looking for this cover make sure you check the company out, do they have a good shipping policy, do they offer a good warranty on their products, and do they have a history of doing business on the Internet.

The things to look for when buying a vehicle cover; 1st is location, what part of the world are you in, is it hot and sunny, is it cold and wet? These are very important things to think of when you are looking for a cover. If you live where it is hot and sunny there are covers that are better for that condition. For instance, the Tyvek Cover is the best for UV protection and is also water resistant. However, if you where live were it rains and snows there are covers for those conditions as well. For instance, the three and four layer covers that are waterproof and provide complete protection from the sun and the wet environment. Next is size, check the sizing charts and if you don’t see your size or you are not sure, then give them a call. The good thing about checking the size with the company is, if they make a mistake and send you the wrong size cover they will pay the shipping charge to exchange it.

After you have decided on the location and size of the cover you should then see about the warranty. Every cover has a different warranty. Some are short, like the one layer covers that are for indoor use, then there are covers with long warranties, from 3 years to life of the cover. Make sure you read the fine print as many of these warranties only cover factory defects and not much more. Next you should read the companies shipping policy and see how they ship their products, USPS, UPS, FedEx etc. Then see how fast there turn around time is, i.e. how many days from the order to your door step. If you would like more information about the company there is a page called "About Us" this page gives you a brief description about their company and the goals they are trying to reach.

So in closing if you are racking your brain this year, trying to find a great gift for that someone special may it be Man or Woman, Get them a vehicle cover, and I'm sure they will thank you for it. And you might even get something more exciting back for the holidays.

The New Top Half Car Cover Gains Popularity






The top cover is the new "I've got to have" in car covers. The top cover is beginning to gain popularity, this cover has many uses and can be installed and removed with little effort. Just this last year this cover was first placed on the open market and since then has become the "I've got to have" cover. If you haven't seen or heard about this cover I want to let you know what it's about.

Sometimes when you are putting on your full size car cover, I am sure you are thinking there must be a better way to just cover your vehicle windows and hide your valuable possessions. For instance, when you go out shopping our just want to keep your car cool during the hot summer days, and also during the winter when you're tired of scraping your windows in the morning before you go to work. Well, somebody had the same thought and came up with the top cover.

This cover simply covers the top half of your car, it is made of a super tough material, and its light weight with UV and waterproof protection. The cover is very easy to install on your car, it just takes a few minutes to put on and take off. That is one reasons people have started to love this cover. The second reason, the protection and heat reduction the cover provides. The cost of the top cover is very reasonable compared to a full size car cover, although it is not quite half the price of a full cover, only because there are a lot more elements to this cover.

Well, you can take it from me that this cover is becoming a must have cover even if you already have a full size cover. If you are storing your vehicle for any length of time the full cover is a good choice, but when you are just out shopping or out on the town and even for a day trip somewhere, the top cover is great to have in your trunk for a quick solution to protect your valuables and cut down on the heat in your car.
