    Great Tips For Keeping Your Car Safe

    Cars, for many of us, are our life supply. Cars are our legs, the majority of the time. Unfortunately, because of this, and because we take them everywhere with us, cars are highly susceptible to crime. There’s a reason that, as a whole, we’re subjected to car-related theft far more often than home-related crime.

    If you care about your car as if it was your own baby – or, perhaps you care about it more than your own baby – then you need to start thinking about the places you leave it and the ways in which you can protect yourself physically and financially against vandalism, car theft, or simply theft of possessions within your vehicle. Here are some top tips if you want to avoid the pain of ever having to deal with something happening to your vehicle.

    Install a decent alarm.
    Yes, we all know how annoying it is when a car alarm accidentally goes off on your street, but do you know what’s even more annoying? Car theft. If you want to avoid the possibility of somebody stealing your car, the first step is to catch anyone who might attempt to do so in the act.

    Installing an alarm isn’t about stopping your car from being stolen. Bar impenetrable doors, nothing can stop somebody from breaking into a vehicle. An alarm, instead, is about alerting you, as the car owner, to a possible break-in. Even if you’re quite far from your car, and you’re not sure you’d be able to reach it in time, alarms usually provide a useful deterrent. The loud sound alerts everyone to a thief’s presence, which is usually enough to make them scatter.

    Most cars are pre-fitted with alarms these days, but, if you’re driving an older model, you might want to consider getting an alarm fitted. Vulnerable cars often appear a more approachable and enticing target to thieves.

    What to do if you lose your keys
    Of course, the best thing to do is get yourself a spare key, just in case such an event should ever arise. Preemptively act to cover your back before such a situation ever becomes a reality. Make sure you always keep this spare key on your person, so that, should you be stuck out in some town or city and find that you’ve dropped your keys at some point, you won’t be stranded without a simple means of getting home. Moreover, if someone’s stolen your keys, you might not want to hang around with your car out in the open.

    However, if it’s too late for all that, and you’ve already lost your only pair of car keys, then don’t panic. There’s a way out, even if you’re short on time. You could contact professionals such as Locksmith Plus, Inc. to help you not only get back into your car, but to do so immediately. Many providers operate on a 24 hour basis, so you could be safely back in your car and out on the road in no time.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
