Last week we shared a story from Theaa.com focused on driving in adverse weather.  With today, December 21, 2022, marking the first day of winter, it makes sense to showcase another weather-related story; this time from Jalopnik! 

By way of writer José Rodríguez Jr. and automotive web page Jalopnik, let's take a look at how winter weather can affect your EV's battery life.  The concern isn't specific to one auto maker either.  Right now, there's no way around it, but after reading José's feature story, you'll at least learn some tips on how to make the best of the situation.  Bundle up and enjoy the read!

Winter Weather and Your EV - Full Story

A massive winter storm has been crossing the country, with east coast residents preparing for a dose of snow, ice, sleet, and rain this week.  Even if you're not impacted by this particular weather event, at some point you will be (or have been). 

In this week's All About Cars, we're sharing out a piece from Theaa.com on some of the best practices for driving in adverse conditions.  Remember, just because your vehicle has four-wheel drive, it doesn't mean you can't slide off the road or into another driver.  Safe travels and check out their feature today to learn how you can become a better driver!

I have driven many places and logged a ton of miles dating back to becoming a legal driver in the summer of 1994.  When I go on vacation, more times than not, I want to rent a car and traverse the lands to see things off the beaten path versus the standard tourist stops.  I’ve driven cross country twice (Alaska to Pennsylvania and Florida to California).  In the summer of 2021, I logged more than 2,000 miles in five days bouncing between Colorado and some of its neighboring states.  I’ve driven in Canada, I’ve driven in the United States…but until recently, I’d never driven off continent.  That all changed as part of a hybrid work/vacation trip I took to Germany!

What do you think when you think about driving in Germany?  My first thought was…Autobahn!  I also wondered about reading road signs, the types of cars I’d see, license plates, how did the roads and drivers measure up compared to the states, and even what the radio offerings might be like.  For this week’s All About Cars, I’d like to share a little bit about my adventure in Deutschland!

I landed in Hamburg on Friday morning, November 11 and knew I had at least an 8 ½ hour/500 mile or so drive in front of me to get to Munich.  The rental car company gave me a brand-new VW Golf diesel.  I have never driven a VW before, but it was an automatic (I can drive a stick) and was going to get me a lot of miles to the gallon (or kilometers to the liter in this case), so I was happy with my get.  I did spend a solid 30 minutes messing with settings, as the default language in the car was German, and my default language….is not.  Once I did that (and burnt my finger on the very hot and very active cigarette lighter), I plugged in my phone for GPS purposes and I was off.  The first sign I saw read Ausfahrt.  Now, I learned after a while that this meant exit, but early on the sounds of that word made me laugh a little.   

The highway wasn’t far from the airport and I spent equal parts time looking at the buildings, eying up the passing cars, and trying to best understand all the signs so as to avoid a speeding ticket.  By the way, I am not sure I’ll be avoiding a speeding ticket (more on that later).  Another word I heard a lot was Straße (stra-za), or street.  Almost everything had the word Straße in it.  Again, much like Ausfahrt, once you know, it makes a lot more sense.

My first foray onto a European highway saw many similarities to driving in the states.  I know not every European country is this way, but Germany and Austria, the two countries I visited, were left side of the car, right side of the road driving, so that was helpful.  Beyond that, the signage is similar, yet very different.  If a sign needed to be blacked out due to construction or a closure, a DOT type would just put a large X over it in what looked like tape.  Speed limit signs were circular and white, with red trim.  Posted limits ranged from around 40 (24.8 MPH) to 130 (80.7) kilometers per hour.  There was also the magical circle with no number and a line through it.  That, I quickly learned, meant no speed limit and yes, it’s true…there are long chunks of road with no speed limit. 

In case you’re wondering, during daylight hours, I did open up the Golf on a straight stretch and hit 137 MPH.  Oddly, or not…I still wasn’t the fastest car on the road.  Going that fast for any period of time was not of interest to me, so I scaled back to a more reasonable 107 and hit cruise.  The car was smart enough to scale me back and accelerate for me depending on what zone I was in too.  I also couldn’t help but smile when driving through some of the towns with neighborhood type streets.  Some speed signs had a digital addition where you’d get a green smiley face if you were speed compliant and a red frowny face if you weren’t.  The visual affirmation of compliance or shame of failure was well executed.

Cars wise, I mentioned my VW and yes, there were many VW’s on the road.  I also saw a few offerings from Ford, including very American looking Rangers and Mustangs, but also saw some Euro builds including a Focus wagon and a Galaxy (not Galaxie).  Additionally, I spotted the following:  Fiat, Porsche, the Dacia Duster, Audi, Mini, BMW, Opel, and even a few Tesla’s.  There were also four-wheelers and tractors on the road, but that’s only fair because one time I drove my car on a bike path.  Oops!  What I did not see where large SUVs, cross overs, lifted trucks, vans, Jeeps, most other forms of muscle car, or anything that we might construe as gawdy vehicles.  Every tractor trailer I saw was flat nosed and none seemed to exceed what we view as a two-trailer load.

I was also smartened up to how to read a European license plate.  I’m sure you’ve seen them before, but here’s what you’re actually looking at. 


Once I knew the bottom left was the country, I played my own version of the license plate game.  As I played that game, I caught what appeared to be some kind of in country satellite radio and listened to German DJ’s play many of my American rock favorites.  Also…Rammstein. 

Finally, the roads themselves…oh so smooth.  I am sure potholes exist, but I didn’t see or hit any.  Driving felt like a group effort, like everyone around me was on the same team vs. in the states where people weave in and out of traffic, just to get one car ahead and park at the same red light.  The left lane of the highway was definitely for those going fast.  Unless you’re the pace setter, don’t cruise in the left lane.  A fast mover can come in hot behind you and their speed vs. your reaction time isn’t a math problem you want to solve.  They’ll flash their lights, but it’s best to not be in the way.  The right lane seemed to be for the slower drivers and the middle of the road was for drivers like me; you want to go fast, but not that fast…but faster than those people in the right lane.  I also saw first-hand something I’ve long believed; that 100% of car vs. train accidents happen on the train tracks.  Look, if tracks are where you are driving, let the train go by first.  You won’t win.  Finally, construction zones are tight when trying to pass a car, let alone a big rig.  I almost got smushed.  I mean, when I say tight, I mean no room for error tight.  If you can wait it out, do that.

In all, Germany and Austria were amazing!  Not only was it scenic, but the areas I experienced were clean, friendly, and fun.  I may have fallen victim to an automatic speed camera or two near Hamburg on my way back, but the Polizei (police) and the rental car folks tell me I should be ok since I’m from out of country.  We shall see.  Either way, I’d love to go back and who knows, maybe next year I will.

If imports are your cup of tea, you can either head to Europe like I did, or make plans for the Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals.  This two-day event happens each year in May and brings together some of the coolest and hottest rides from around the world.  You’ll see things that you’ve never seen before, and not just one of them either.  Visit CarlisleEvents.com to learn more about the show and how you can be part of it!   

All About Cars is a platform for us to share automotive-related content with you and this time, we’re turning the spotlight on a first-hand experience that you can also enjoy!  My name is Rebecca Spahr and during my more than twenty-year career with Carlisle Events, I’ve seen and experienced some pretty cool automotive sights and sounds.  I’ve even been hands-on with some of the coolest rides to ever be produced.  Recently, I had my coolest experience yet; driving an early 1900s-era Model T Ford at the nearby AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The displays at the AACA Museum are a walk-through time. It begins with an interactive garage with functioning equipment and moves on to huge display rooms with beautiful wall murals that bring the museum to life and create the perfect atmosphere for the featured vehicles.  It’s not often that one gets the opportunity to get up close with historic vehicles, but there you can. I was honored with the opportunity to sit in one of Betty White’s cars, “the Peacock.” There is an entire room with hands-on exhibits about the Tucker, easily identified by its centered third headlight.  The Museum also showcases displays of many diecast models, buses, a functioning model train room, and so much more.  There are more “celebrity rides” than just Ms. White’s too.  The bus display includes one famously used in Forrest Gump, one from Speed, and another from A League of Their Own.

For all the times I’ve gone to the museum, I never knew you could do more than just look at their cars.  In fact, it was during a trip there in February that I was invited to be part of their Model T driving school.  When I got there on an early October afternoon, I was amazed from start to finish at the experience.

The experience began in a classroom setting with an engine on display and a display board with photos and explanations of the curious 3-pedal function and hand levers. We were firmly warned that when turning to only move the wheel slightly or we ran the risk of “turning turtle” (flipping over).

The Museum has five different Model T body styles, however, three of them were under repair on the day of my visit. A group of lively volunteers was very welcoming and happy to answer my questions about their work and how things function on these cars of yester-century. I was impressed that they can keep 100+-year-old vehicles in running condition!

I chose to drive the 1913 red C Cab first, named for the shape of the box body. With my volunteer Jim behind the wheel, he moved the spark lever the whole way up, the accelerator lever just slightly down, and after I pushed the start button, the engine roared to life. At this point, the spark lever is lowered until the sound of the engine smooths out. To begin the movement, the floor lever is moved to neutral and when the reverse pedal is pressed the car gently moves backward. When we were out of the parking space, he released the reverse pedal, pressed the clutch pedal, and moved the floor lever into the low position. As soon as he lowered the accelerator lever we were off! During our voyage around the AACA Museum property, I couldn’t help but smile and wonder what it would have been like to drive this vehicle with my ancestors. Would we be headed to visit family, have a picnic or gather supplies?

My turn at the wheel came after Jim completed the loop. I was giddy with excitement and couldn’t remove the smile from my face as I moved levers, pressed pedals, and very gently turned the steering wheel. Bumping through a field, with the roar of the engine in my ears and the wind blowing through my hair, I was transported to a bygone era.  I was at the wheel of a 102-year-old masterpiece – a Ford Model T. It wasn’t the first of the horseless carriages but it was the first automobile born of assembly line production which made it more accessible to middle-class Americans.

Several loops later, I switched to the 1920 Model T which didn’t have a roof like the C Cab. I learned that this car was personally owned by Jim years ago and he donated it to the museum for this program. I felt so incredibly privileged to be driving his vehicle. I bombarded him with questions and he was patient and kind in providing all the answers. He even offered some stories, which were very entertaining.

The AACA Museum volunteers were so accommodating and generous with their time and kindness and patient with my questions and curiosity. They made the driving experience all the more fun. They even rewarded me with a certificate and a hat!

You can have this same amazing experience as I did with our friends at the AACA in 2023!  They have multiple cars and classes available throughout the year and if you’re an AACA member, it’s just $140 and WELL WORTH IT!  Dates are below or you can visit them online for details about not only the class but the museum itself.

Model T Driving Experience - AACA Museum

The Ford Truck market is hotter than ever right now, from Maverick to Super Duty, the market is showing no signs of slowing down. This year's SEMA Show was no exception, and everything from slammed Ford trucks to jacked-up customs truly (in some cases literally) rose above the competition. From new to old, Ford Trucks were not only Built Ford Proud, but modified and customized to a new level of Pride that every single one of these vehicle owners showed.

The first things to catch my attention were at the entrance to the Central Hall and the in the back of the Central Hall, mainly because our Carlisle Events booth was located with our friends in the ARMO area. There were two Lightnings that caught my eye mainly because of the monsters under their hoods. Now naturally those monsters were Ford’s new 7.3L “Godzilla” engine.

Another super popular area to spot Truck builds has been the Dub Lifted and Leveled showcase at The SEMA Show. Ford Trucks of all kinds have staked their claims to this area mostly due the sheer numbers of builds! It was insane.





(see the full gallery at the end of the article)

Walking between the halls, I spotted something popping out in the Toyo Tires booth as well. Most of the builds showcased in that area were from the Import market, however this Ford Ranchero stood out for a number of reasons. Its level of customization caught my eye first, and then I looked under the hood and spotted that Coyote howling from its engine bay.

(see the full gallery at the end of the article)

A new up and comer in the Ford market also has started making its aftermarket splash at the show. Ford’s new Maverick was showcased in not only some cool sport truck stylings, but also in some 90’s-esque mini truck builds. As production quantities incraese on these, I can't wait to see where the aftermarket world takes the Maverick.






Wheels and tires make or break most truck builds, so naturally I had to check out the Wheel and Tire Area in the South Hall.

This year’s West Hall (I call it the "Truck Hall") was overtaken by Broncos, however a ton of unique and custom Ford Trucks also stood out.

Closing out the week, I had to check out the trucks in the outside areas in front of the Central and North Halls.These trucks definitely took things to another level.





(see the full gallery at the end of the article)

With SEMA Ignited had me finding a few more trucks in the TIS Offroad area. These Ford Trucks are the definition of customization, and take things to an entirely new level for Ford Truck enthusiasts.

Ford Trucks Dominate SEMA 2022 - Flickr

All in all, the SEMA Show each year showcases the latest and greatest trends of the automotive industry.  This year was no different and Ford Trucks seem to keep dominating in what I see out there. I can’t wait to see what June brings for the Ford Truck enthusiasts at the Carlisle Ford Nationals happening June 2-4 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.

Ken Appell has been an employee of Carlisle Events and event manager of the Carlisle Ford Nationals since 2012.

The aftermarket and Ford enthusiast market is going absolutely bananas over the new Ford Bronco. This year at SEMA, that passion has been matched with numerous builds of new and old Ford Broncos. It was truly “Broncomonium” (I'm making that a word) with new aftermarket modifications debuting for new Broncos, and lots of traditional builds showcasing older Broncos. 

My first stop was the Central Hall and the halls that surround it. Mainly because our Carlisle Events booth was located with our friends in the ARMO area. New Broncos greeted guests as they entered the first part of the Central Hall with loads of new accessories. Look for those accessories to be launched at your local auto parts stores in Q1 of 2023.



(see the full gallery at the end of the article)

I saw tons of Ford Trucks all throughout the event. A super popular area to spot Truck and SUV builds has been the all-new West Hall at the SEMA Show (I call it the Truck Hall). Broncos staked their claim to this hall dominating not only the aftermarket "bolt-on" parts but also some serious off-road accessories that will make all Bronco fans' mouths water. 


(see the full gallery at the end of the article)

Walking between the halls I spotted some killer builds as well. Most of these builds showcased the offroad potential of the new Bronco, and I also saw a few older Broncos.

Not to be forgotten, and a can’t miss feature in recent years of the SEMA Show, has been the Dub Lifted and Leveled showcase outside the South Hall. These builds typically showcase the "wild side" of the modification world, and they certainly lived up to my expectations.







SEMA Ignited (The SEMA Show post-trade-show public event) was rocking and blasting into the night on Friday, which led me to a few more builds in the TIS Offroad area. These Broncos are certainly at the customization forefront, and really take things to an entirely new level for Bronco enthusiasts the world over.

All in all, the SEMA Show each year showcases the latest and greatest trends of the automotive industry. Not only was the Ford Bronco and its aftermarket trending all over the show but it’s definitely ushering in an entirely new vibe in the Ford market. I can’t wait to see what June brings for the Bronco enthusiasts at the Carlisle Ford Nationals happening June 2-4 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.

Ken Appell has been an employee of Carlisle Events and event manager of the Carlisle Ford Nationals since 2012.

Annually in late October/early November, automotive businesses from around the world converge on the Las Vegas Convention Center for the SEMA Show.  SEMA, short for the Specialty Equipment Market Association, is a trade association that consists of a diverse group of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, publishing companies, auto restorers, street-rod builders, restylers, car clubs, race teams, and more.  The show itself brings a who’s who of the automotive world to Vegas to show off their products and builds, network with industry professionals, and in some cases, receive special honors.

For 2022, SEMA honors have not only been bestowed on Carlisle Events, but one of its staff members too.  At a banquet/dinner on November 1 hosted by the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO), Carlisle Events was recognized as its Business of the Year, while Sponsorship and Development Specialist Jeff Broadus was inducted into the ARMO Hall of Fame.

Candidates for the ARMO Business of the Year award must have demonstrated exceptional service, integrity and business ethics as well as made a commendable contribution to the restoration industry and for 2022, that distinction goes to Carlisle Events.

While the aforementioned award is for a business, the ARMO Hall of Fame focuses more on individuals who have played an integral role in the advancement of the restoration industry.  For Broadus, his contributions to the hobby extend beyond Carlisle Events, but the sum of his accomplishments meant that his first year with the Carlisle team was award-worthy.

The Hall of Fame dates back to 1998 and the honor for Broadus means THREE Carlisle Events team members have been tapped as Hall of Famers since its inception.  Past inductees include Carlisle Events co-founder Chip Miller (2004) and long-time Director of Business and Event Development, Jim Vinarski (2018).

“Carlisle Events has a long and rich history of supporting SEMA and ARMO,” said co-owner Lance Miller.  “We were honored and quite humbled to be awarded ARMO 2022 Business of the Year.  We take great pride in every event we host and our goal is for each person that enters our gates to feel like a member of the Carlisle family,” continued Miller.  “This award really goes to each of our supporters and our team.  We love this hobby and appreciate being a small part of it.”

As our team returns from SEMA in the coming days, their focus immediately turns to the 2023 events season, which starts January 20 with Auto Mania (January 20-22) in Allentown, Pennsylvania and concludes with the Lakeland Fall Collector Car Auction (November 10-11).  In between, there are a dozen events and auctions.  The season schedule spans months as car enthusiasts converge on America’s Automotive Hometown, Carlisle, Pennsylvania and beyond, for some of the biggest classic and collector car events in the world.      

Complete details about the upcoming 2023 season are available online at CarlisleEvents.com or by calling 717-243-7855, while auction specific information is available at CarlisleAuctions.com or by calling 717-960-6400.

If you've spent a ton of money on your car. You probably want to ensure it stays safe and looks good for as long as possible. Well, there are some easy ways to maintain the freshness of your car that don't even require an ounce of effort. Here are five tips to help keep your ride looking its best!

#1. Change the Oil Regularly

Oil is the life of your engine. It's what keeps everything cool, lubricated, and clean. Oil helps maintain a smooth running engine by keeping all moving parts from grinding.

Changing the oil at regular intervals will help you get more miles out of your car or truck before it needs to be completely overhauled or replaced. Not changing your oil regularly risks damaging the engine and other parts, such as transmissions and differentials in trucks and SUVs (or 4×4 vehicles).

The best thing about changing your oil is that it costs less than having someone else do it for you. Plenty of great tutorials are available online, so anyone can learn how easy it is!

#2. Change The Air Filter

Your car is equipped with an air filter that maintains the quality of the air inside and keeps your engine running at peak performance. Keeping this filter clean is essential, as dust and debris can clog it up and reduce your vehicle's fuel efficiency. We recommend changing your car's air filter every 12-15 months or whenever you notice a decrease in acceleration or poor performance due to poor ventilation.

To change your car's air filter, locate the air filter compartment on top of your engine block (usually near where you attach windshield wiper fluid). If you don't see one, look under your hood by checking behind various components like hoses or belts. This may help you identify where exactly it is located on your vehicle model type. Research online to promptly find replacement parts like filters before needing them again quickly!

#3. Inspect The Ignition System

As with most things, it is best to start with a thorough inspection of your car's ignition system-this can be done at home. To do this, check the ignition coil and crankshaft position sensor (CPS). These two parts can be damaged by water and debris that get into them during heavy rain or snow storms-so make sure they're dry before starting up again.

#4. Check The Spark Plugs

In most cases, the spark plugs are located in the cylinder head. When you look at your car's engine, you will find these metal cylinders sticking out of each of its four corners.

The job of these spark plugs is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy so that other parts of the vehicle system can use it.

When those metal cylinders become dirty and clogged with carbon deposits or other impurities, they no longer work effectively. Their ability to convert chemical energy into electric current has also been compromised.

#5. Make Sure You Have High Quality Car Insurance Coverage

When talking about maintaining your car’s freshness over time, it is important to talk about car insurance. If you are taking the time to ensure your car’s interior and exterior stays fresh and clean, you’ll want to dedicate time to finding a comprehensive and high quality car insurance plan.

In order to find the best car insurance prices available for your car, you should compare quotes from multiple sources. This will give you a good idea of how much you should be paying. After all, you’ll want to make sure your car is protected from the inside out - especially after spending so much time and money maintaining the interior and exterior. 

Final Thoughts on Maintaining Your Car’s Freshness Over Time

Keeping your car sparkling and fresh can be a daunting task. Fortunately, you can easily maintain the freshness of your vehicle with these top 5 tips. After using these tips to keep your car running long-term, check out the events schedule to meet up with other car enthusiasts at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds for the world famous car shows at Carlisle!  Whatever you fancy, the folks at Carlisle Events have something just for you!

Annually, the Carlisle Truck Nationals presented by A&A Auto Stores host trucks of all shapes, sizes, styles, and eras.  In addition, hundreds of Big Rigs populate the Big Rig Show and Shine.  These haulers are just a few of the millions of "big trucks" that traverse our country's roadways daily, delivering goods and services to all of us.  For this week's All About Cars, we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.  Below is a recognition piece from our friends at the American Trucking Associations!  In addition to their adulations, Carlisle Events would like to thank every trucker on the road today as well as every trucker who has ever been part of the Carlisle Truck Nationals and Big Rig Show and Shine!  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day, millions of Americans get behind the wheel and head out on the highways. Some of them are off to the grocery store, some to their place of work and others on road trips, but 3.6 million are professional truck drivers. These are the hard-working professional men and women that deliver the goods that keep America moving.

From the food we eat, the clothes we wear, to the medical supplies and equipment we use to stay healthy – professional truck drivers get things where they need to be, on time, safely, and securely. 

Beginning on September 11, 2022, we will celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW). Before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, professional truck drivers take on a heroic role by delivering the essential goods to our country. The sacrifices that professional drivers made to help carry the nation through the pandemic must never be understated. To deliver for American families, drivers put their own health, and the health of their families on the line. Their dedication and sacrifice is deserving of our praise, recognition, and appreciation.

Truck drivers deliver over 10 billion tons of freight every year, which is about 70% of all the freight moved in the U.S. In the United States, 80% of communities – cities and towns just like Carlisle, Pennsylvania – receive all their goods via truck.

The trucking industry is the backbone of our economy, and our professional drivers are the industry’s heart. Their commitment to safety and dependability ensures our quality of life remains intact – even during a global pandemic.

This week, when you’re in a grocery store, take a minute to notice how stocked the shelves are – and always remained, even during the most trying moments of the pandemic. Then think about the professional drivers that delivered all the food you, and everyone else you know, put into your carts and brought home to your families. When sitting at home, maybe in your home office, look around and realize that everything inside it was at some point in the back of truck before it got to where it is now.

When next at a restaurant or picking up takeout, think about the meal you’re about to eat and how the ingredients were very recently delivered by truck. Think about all the jobs truck drivers have made possible out of the commitment to do theirs.

The next time you’re cruising down the highway and pass by a truck, give them the famous honking sign – they’ll love it! If a passenger in your vehicle is able to capture the moment on video, post it to social media and include the hashtag #honkforhighwayhereos and #thankatrucker.

During this National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, take a moment to be thankful for the efforts of America’s truck drivers and recognize that without them, your home, your workplace, your dinner table, and your life, would look very different.

Our most sincere thanks to America's professional truck drivers, who truly do move our great country forward.

Staffers of Carlisle Events are privy to some things that we can't always share in advance of an event.  Sometimes, we can't even share them at the event but if you (the event guest) notice them, we can talk about it.  One such thing is Team Chevrolet's fleet of Z06 Corvettes that they brought to Corvettes at Carlisle in 2022.  Sure, they had a few Z06 Corvettes within their tent and even hosted walk-arounds on the 70th Anniversary edition, but did you know there were about two dozen more just kind around the grounds...hidden in plain sight? 

Our friends at Corvette Forum did not know this in advance, but when writer Joe Kucinski parked his car in the VIP lot, he stumbled into a jackpot!  

Check out this week's All About Cars to learn about the rides that Team Chevrolet brought to Carlisle, including VIN #002!
