Image Via Pexels.com Summer weather may open up a world of cookouts and weekend warrior trips for us normally, but for our vehicles, it's not as fun. The heat of summer brings can cause damage to our vehicles, bringing the good vibes of the season down for us. Here are a few of the ways heat impacts your car and how you can protect your ride from it: more Tires As the sun beats down on your tires and the roads they sit on, it can cause damage to them. Tires have natural oils that keep them pliable and able to take a punch. Too much sun and heat can dry your tires out, making them more brittle and susceptible to blowouts. If your tires are improperly inflated, the potential for blow-outs is increased. Even if your tires were properly inflated before the weather turned hot, the air pressure in them can increase as the gas inside expands. To combat this, make a habit of taking measurements of your tires' psi levels to ensure they're at the correct level. Try to park in shaded areas and keep an eye on your tires' sidewalls for signs of warping or other structural damage. Paint Harmful UV rays from the sun are both detrimental to skin and your vehicle's paint job. These rays can cause your paint to lose its color, dulling down your vehicle's appearance. To avoid this, apply a coat of wax to your vehicle's exterior after your visits to the car wash. These coats don't just make your car look good, but they also act as a shield between your car's paint and the sun. You can also invest in a car cover if you don't have access to a shady parking area. Engine The worst possible damage heat can cause is to your vehicle's engine. Your engine gets very hot as it does its job, and it's up to coolant to keep it from overheating. During the winter, we call coolant 'antifreeze,' but it's the same thing throughout the year. Low levels of coolant can leave your engine without a way to cool down as it works, causing it to heat up and potentially damage itself. If you let your engine run without a proper coolant, it's not a question of if it will be damaged, but when. Make sure your car has enough coolant to keep it functioning. This is an easy task you should perform at least at the beginning of every summer and winter. Gas Excessive heat can also damage your fuel economy. High temperatures cause gasoline to evaporate faster than it does in the winter, leading to lower fuel efficiency. This problem is somewhat inevitable, but you can reduce the rate at which your gasoline evaporates by parking your car in the shade, or preferably in a cool garage. Keep these dangers in mind as you drive through your summer days. Protect your vehicle from the damages summer heat can cause to prolong the life of your car and your wallet.

From young pop stars to household-name actors, everyone wants to experience the style and power of a Mustang. Here is just a sample of the many celebrities who drive Ford Mustangs: more Jay Leno Of course former late-night talk show host Jay Leno drives a Mustang. Leno is well-known for his love of cars, which has left him with a car collection of over 100 vehicles. In that collection is a 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 and a 2013 Mustang GT500. Leno has gone on record with his love for the Shelby name, and his '65 Shelby is one of his prized possessions. Any vehicle that gets the Leno seal of approval is worth checking out. Tim Allen There is a video of actor Tim Allen competing with Jay Leno in a burnout contest that stands as a testament to his love for the Mustang name. In his garage, Allen is hiding a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR that's highly modified for maximum performance. Tom Cruise Actor Tom Cruise has a couple of the rarest Mustangs in his collection. Two Ford Mustang Saleen S281s are some of the greatest in his garage. Saleen is a company that specializes in performance modifications for sports cars. Saleen vehicles are highly prized, and very difficult to acquire. Liam Hemsworth Liam Hemsworth owns one of our favorite celebrity Mustangs: a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. His Mustang has a classic paint job you don't see with new muscle cars very often anymore: a glossy teal with a black-painted hood and retro stripes along the sides. Even with his beau Miley Cyrus using this Mustang as a photoshoot backdrop from time to time, we love the look of this classic American icon. Bruce Willis Bruce Willis is the proud owner of a green 1968 Ford Mustang GT500. It makes sense that one of the biggest action movie stars ever would drive one of the toughest cars ever manufactured. He put this particular Mustang up for auction in 2008, when it sold for $161,000. Charlie Sheen Even Charlie Sheen has a Mustang — specifically, a convertible 1966 Ford Mustang GT and a 1968 Shelby. The '66 Mustang GT is a beautiful relic with a fire-engine red paint job and two black racing stripes down the center. However, he put this Mustang up for auction in 2011 to support a charity. The Mustang didn't sell, as it only got a bid for $100,000, and according to Sheen, it would take $300,000 to make another one like it. It was highly customized with NASCAR upgrades, as well as others. When you're ready to join the ranks of celebrities who drive Mustangs, come see us at ChestateeFord.com. We can provide you with the Mustang part — the celebrity status you'll have to get on your own.

Image Via Ford.com Ford is bringing one of its most beloved models back to the lineup in the near future. The two-door Bronco is coming, and here's what we know about it so far. more History of the Original Bronco In 1966, Ford released its original SUV, the Bronco, cutting a trail to the outdoors in a groundbreaking way. Buyers embraced this new offering, taking it out on their adventures and using it to tow heavy loads. The original version showcased a square body style with a backseat that offered enough space for passengers along with an oversized front grille. In 1969, the Bronco was featured in the Mexican 1000, an on-road and off-road rally that featured high-performance driving and stunning scenery. The SUV actually won the grueling race, which was a feat that no four-wheel-drive vehicle has been able to replicate. It's clear that the Ford Bronco has an impressive history, and Ford plans to continue this by releasing a new version of the beloved SUV. Expected Debut Date Ford hasn't made any major announcement as to when we can expect the Bronco to become available, aside from its plan to undergo a world premiere in the spring of 2020. It may come out at the New York Auto Show in April, but for now, we can take a look at the photos of prototypes that have been spotted in various areas around the country. Most of the photos feature the Bronco prototype climbing over steep terrain and even taking jumps with its wheels off the ground. Off-Roading Capability The two-door version of the Bronco is especially appealing to adventurous off-roading enthusiasts. It will likely compete with the Jeep Wrangler in terms of capability, although the photos show that it may be more suited to climbing over sand dunes rather than crawling over steep rocks. In all of its discussions about the upcoming Bronco, Ford is showing it off as a rally car. However, its body styling and features will likely make it appealing to those who want to tackle all types of terrain. In one of the prototype photos, auto experts spotted a set of 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain tires, which are large and able to crawl over just about anything you can find. The underside of the Bronco also features a large skid plate that will protect the powertrain, suspension, and steering components. The front suspension appears to be completely independent, while the rear solid axle showcased a few lower control arms that hang below the rest of the body. Although the Bronco may still change from what we see in the prototype, it's clear that Ford is working to create an off-road-ready model for buyers in this segment. If you're interested in getting behind the wheel of a two-door Ford Bronco, visit Chestatee Ford. We have a wide selection of all the newest models available, and we'll have Bronco models on our lot as soon as possible. For now, we'll keep watching for photos that give us a sneak peek of what we can expect from this highly anticipated SUV.
