Test Driving A New Car
One of the most important steps in buying a new or used car is the test drive. You can do all the research you like, but it all comes down to the test drive. Driving the car must be comfortable, easy, and enjoyable. Follow these few steps and get the most out of your next test drive. Check over the car before you leave the dealer's lot.
Tires, fluids, and lights should all be checked before you drive. Also make sure there is gas in the car.
- If at all possible go on the test drive by yourself. You need to concentrate on the driving experience and the noises of the car. A babbling salesman will distract you and not let you get a good read on the car.
- Before leaving the lot, adjust the seat, mirrors, and the climate control system.
You do not need to be distracted while driving an unfamiliar car. Make sure you are comfortable and have a good view of everything around you.
- Drive a variety of roads. Mix it up with some city driving followed by highway...

What to look for when making that Racing Go Cart purchase
With all the choices in chassis and motors, it can become a dilemma if you don't know what you are looking for when making that racing go cart purchase. If you have an unlimited racing budget, then by all means just buy all new stuff, any of the major go cart manufacturers make a great product. If your racing budget is small, and you are looking for the right cart for your money, I will give you some things that I look for in buying a potential cart for resale, or for personal use.Overall appearance is most important, because you can see just how well the cart has been treated by the way it looks at first glance. From there I look at the axel and all components linked to it, I am looking for the axel to have little or no rust on it and I spin the tires to make sure the axel isn't bent, and that the bearings roll free. You should not hear the bearings when the axel is turning, if you do they will need to be changed soon.
Then check the brakes out to make sure there are no leaks...
