A guy stops a moving 22 wheeler Truck with failed brakes and no driver inside

A brave guy named Athar Yad Ali was travelling on salt range motorway in Pakistan with his family when he came across a moving 22 wheeler monster truck with no brakes and driver inside . 
Athar Yad Ali
According to Shaista Ali Khan (wife of Athar) they saw the driver and the second passenger jumping out of the truck since the brakes were not working at all. 
And now when the truck had no driver inside and no one to control the monster, the truck started smashing the edges of the road 

So think about it what would you have done? 
Would you climb in to a moving truck with no brakes?
Would you try to stop a truck whose driver jumped out of it?

So Athar Yad Ali climbed in to the monster truck after literally arguing with his family who opposed his decision, i mean who would allow their loved one to climb into a moving truck with no Brakes at all. 

So After 2 kilometers of struggle he managed to come up with a way to safely stop the monster

What difference polishing and waxing a car can make

First of all the important part is to know that what Car Polish and Car wax actually does? What is it for? 
Basically these products are special chemical formulas and mixtures that helps your car's body paint to look at its best and prolong its life. Some people actually dont apply these products on their cars and use the old school washing techniques and household washing products that are not designed for cars which is why their cars end up like the picture below.

Car Polish

Car polish is a special formula that is designed for removing some of the hardest and difficult road materials like tar, salt, bugs, chemicals etc from your car and to make it look at its best. Car polish should never be removed or buffed off using an electric buffer if you are not a professional because it can remove the protective coat (which protects the paint) and can eventually start removing the paint afterwards. 

Car Wax 

Car wax is basically a non abrasive coating applied after washing the car. What it does is that it actually covers the cars body paint with a thin milky white layer when buffed or wiped off after applying according to the instructions. This layer fills very tiny and even microscopic scratches and dimples in the protective layer of the body paint giving it a presentable eye catching brightness.
You might have come across the round swirl marks that appear on the cars body paint sooner or later which are completely visible when in sun light or when artificial light is applied. The car wax completely removes these marks if applied properly.

When to use Car Wax and Car Polish

Both of these products are used after washing the car so wash your car properly and afterwards when it is completely dried run your finger lightly over the cars's body paint to find and feel rough spots and elevated specks. if you find the rough surfaces and irregularities then it means you need to apply the car polish according to the instructions and if the car surface is completely smooth then you only need to apply and remove the car wax.

Tips for how to wash your car

  • Never use Household washing products because they can damage the protective layer on the body paint.
  • Wash the dead bugs, bird droppings and other hard marks like paint as soon as possible.
  • Never wash your car when body is hot, wait for it to cool down
  • If you love your car then stop visiting the automatic car wash and start washing your car with your own hands because your hand will not damage your car paint and automatic car wash will.
  • Car Wax is temporary and it might wash away in a couple of months while Car Polish has a much longer life span and does not easily washes away
  • If you are applying both these products (Car Wax and Car Polish) after washing your car, apply the car polish first and car wax afterwords.
  • Don't move your sponge in circles but instead move it length wise and across the hood and other body panels because circular motion causes swirls marks.
  • Use Soft towels
  • Dont slide anything on the car that can cause scratches even the shopping bags 
  • Use clay bar to remove containment which is difficult to remove, all you need is a lubricant (clay spray) and a soft towel.
  • And Love your Car or maybe you do love your car that's why you are still reading my horrible English.

Girlfriend gives paint job to boyfriend's car with Sharpie

A Car enthusiast bought a silver Nissan Skyline 1995 R33 GTR but originally he wanted to buy the one with Midnight purple paint job and since the Silver Skyline was cheaper he thought of giving it a paint job afterwards.


So when he was coming up with an idea for the Paint job he let his girlfriend (Allison) who had Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from University of Hawaii doodle on the front bumper because he was repainting it anyway.
According to him 15 hours went by and he didn't came up with an idea while Allison kept doodling. When he saw the end result of Allison's epic doodling talent on the front bumper he was stunned and decided to let her girlfriend doodle the whole car.

According to him on Feb 11
 "The drawing started on January 16th, probably will never endddddd"

How to decrease your Fuel Consumption

This post will give you the tips and tricks to improve you fuel economy. So with the increasing prices of fuel now a days you should know these simple tips and tricks that can help you save almost 30 percent of you fuel.

Maintain your vehicle

The most important part of a better fuel economy is if your vehicle is well maintained or not? if not, you should tune your vehicle and provide better lubrication to the engine by changing the Oil.
Also change your air filter and spark plugs if necessary because dirty air filter can reduce fuel economy up to 20 percent and poor condition spark plugs up to 12 percent. 
Wheel alignment also plays an important role for fuel consumption. Poor wheel alignment can decrease the fuel economy a lot depending upon how bad wheel alignment is. 


Keep your tires properly inflated

Low pressure tires can increase the fuel consumption up to 25 percent so you should Start checking the tires pressure more often and keep them properly inflated. Most of the people dont know how much the tires pressure should be the picture below will help you.

Remove Unnecessary Luggage 

The more weight a vehicle carries the more it increases the fuel consumption. So start removing the useless luggage in the car and if you can manage without the extra tire you can save up to 1 percent of fuel. 

Keep Windows Up

Closed windows keep the car aerodynamic and reduce drag coefficient. Usually people dont know how much the air drag can increase fuel consumption. Even the side mirrors can increase the fuel economy when they are removed. The open windows can decrease the fuel economy up to 15 percent by increasing the drag especially on a highway. I know this is a hard one but it can save you a lot of fuel if you can keep the windows closed.

Keep a light foot on gas

The most vital role is played by you to increase the fuel consumption of your vehicle. All of it depends on how you drive? Most of the drivers use excessive braking and keep a heavy foot on the gas.
This is the factor that increases the fuel consumption because a vehicle takes the highest amount of fuel to move from an idle position. Apply a light throttle and avoid heavy braking (it means to accelerate slowly and start braking from long distances). Keep your vehicle in the highest gears if possible and avoid over revs too. 
Keep the car between 50 to 60 mph because research shows that at 70 mph the vehicle takes 25 present more fuel to over come the Air Drag.
