Nick B asked:


I have a 1989 Toyota Camry and my brake lights do not work. I checked the fuses ( all of them! under hood and inside driver panel) also replaced all the bulbs with new. I still have no brake lights and the dash light indicator continuously shows a little car with the back light problem. What can I do? I would like to know if there is a stop switch attached to the brake pedal and if so how do I check it and/or replace if it is bad.

No Brainer: Small Cars Are Dangerous

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Matthew C. Keegan asked:


It shouldn’t take a government or industry study to prove the obvious, but a report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has confirmed what mostly everyone already knows: small cars can be dangerous to your health, even deadly. Yes, if you took physics then you know that when two objects moving at the same speed hit each other, the one that weighs less will suffer more damages.

The IIHS study comes just as some consumers are considering moving to smaller vehicles in a bid to save on gas and/or to reduce their so-called carbon footprint. Smaller, lighter vehicles can return improved fuel economy, but those changes could come at the expense of occupant safety.

“There are good reasons people buy minicars,” says Institute president Adrian Lund. “They’re more affordable, and they use less gas. But the safety trade-offs are clear from our new tests. Equally clear are the implications when it comes to fuel economy. If automakers downsize cars so their fleets use less fuel, occupant safety will be compromised. However, there are ways to serve fuel economy and safety at the same time.”

The IIHS did not pair up small cars with pickup trucks and sport/utility vehicles when conducting their study nor did they choose vehicles from different manufacturers. When a subcompact car was chosen from one manufacturer the IIHS chose a slightly larger vehicle from that same car company.

For example, the IIHS crashed a Toyota Yaris into a larger Toyota Camry; a smart fortwo into a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (both made by Daimler); and a Honda Fit into a Honda Accord. Each vehicle was traveling at 40 miles per hour. All three small cars performed poorly, while the larger vehicles were rated good or acceptable. The small cars tested, however, receive good ratings in government-conducted crash tests with fixed barriers.

All three small cars performed well in government barrier tests where they are rammed into a stationery object. However, when meeting “head on” with a larger vehicle, the results were obvious and would be catastrophic for human occupants.

What should the IIHS study do for people shopping for a new or used car? Consider the law of physics, that’s what. Short term savings in fuel economy could prove dangerous in a crash, even deadly.

Ground Breaking Engineer Designed Toyota Camry

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Mike Cain asked:


For several years running, the Toyota Camry has been a top ten best selling model. This is due to the fact that the Toyota Camry offers not only performance and fuel efficiency, but an impressive amount of interior room at a good price as well. For all of these factors the Toyota Camry is a car that will give a buyer the most bang for their buck.

The Toyota Camry utilizes a very innovative engineering design that will inevitably succeed in its rankings. Cutoff switch and traction control, anti-lock brake system with electronic brake-force distribution, and brake assist is what the Toyota Camry provides its owners with a star safety system is just part of the safety side that also includes an enhanced vehicle stability control. Many protective features are also included by Toyota Cambry, including driver and front row passenger airbags, 3-point seatbelts on all seats with adjustable shoulder anchors, crumple zones located on the front and sides of the car, side impact door beams, a tire pressure monitoring system, an energy-absorbent steering column, child protection locks on the back doors as well as child tethers on outboard seats, and an engine immobilizer. The quality can be seen from Toyota Camry’s feature such as aerodynamic multi-reflector projector-beam headlamps, light-emitting diode for tail, stop and side marker lamps, 16-in. CFC-free air conditioning that can filter dusts and pollens, and a heavy-duty electric rear window defogger with timer.

Whereas for the technology, its is very evident from the features such as tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio controls.

Camry Hybrid 50th Anniversary Edition to Hit Showrooms in March

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Glady Reign asked:


Toyota has been successfully doing business in the US for almost 50 years. In connection with their celebration of their 50th year of operations in the United States auto jungle, they will be producing a limited number of Camry Hybrid units which will be sent out on sale March. The said Camry Hybrid will boast of features which are not present on any other production Camry. The company may have chosen to produce a Camry in their celebration of 50 years of business in the United States because the Camry is their best selling car in their lineup. The fact that they are producing a hybrid shows where the company is headed and this can be compared to a Volvo turn signal which shows where the car is heading - the hybrid shows that Toyota is dedicated to producing environment friendly cars in the future.

Some of the features that the Camry Hybrid 50th Anniversary Edition will have are a new and stunning paint color and a unique set of wheels. The Camry Hybrid will sport a Blizzard Pearl paint which makes it looks cool and stylish. It will also sport 16-inch alloy wheels with a graphite finish and it looks like the set of wheels increase the already high aesthetic value of the car. The cars will also sport 50th Anniversary Edition badges that will not appear on any other models. To further add to the sophistication of the car, a power moonroof is provided. Heated power outside mirrors is also part of the package.

Aside from the fuel efficiency that hybrids are known for, another good selling point for the Camry Hybrid 50th Anniversary Edition is its luxurious interior. The inside of the Camry Hybrid is trimmed in leather and this in itself gives the interior of the car a luxurious feel to it. The special edition Camry will be equipped with a voice-activated DVD navigation system to provide great entertainment for its occupants. The DVD player has a four-disc changer capability. The front seats of the Camry are heated for the driver and front passenger’s comfort. The Camry also has a carpeted cargo mat, brushed stainless dash, illuminated front door sills, and carpeted floor mats with yet the 50th Anniversary Edition logo emblazoned on it.

The Camry Hybrid is already one of the most popular choices for city dwellers, thanks to its real great fuel economy. Not only is its fuel economy the reason why people opt for the Camry Hybrid. The car has a good handling and suspension system, thanks to the design of the frame and the body of the car. With a wide array of safety features, the Camry is also a top choice for those who are looking for safety features when buying a car. And with the upcoming production of this special edition car, the public will surely welcome the release of the vehicle.

These special edition vehicles will be manufactured at Toyota’s Kentucky assembly plant. Only 3,000 units of the vehicles will be produced which will give the model a higher value in the market. Toyota has placed a $31,680 price tag on the 50th Anniversary Edition vehicles.

The release of the Camry Hybrid to celebrate the 50th year of Toyota doing business in the US shows that in the future they will be providing more energy efficient cars for the public. With the success of Toyota for the past 50 years in the US, they have overtaken Chrysler as the third largest car manufacturer in the US and they are even poised to take over the number two spot from Ford. They are also quickly closing the gap between them and General Motors which currently claims the spot of being the largest car manufacturer in the world.

Toxic Twentieth Century, What Can We Do?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Camry James asked:


Polluted Human Body

The human body becomes toxic or polluted from both external (exogenous) sources and internal (endogenous) sources. The most common external pathways of toxicity are from inhalation (smoking, air pollution, dental amalgam fillings, sick buildings), ingestion (chemical residues on food, chemicals in water, drugs) injection (vaccinations, flu shots, tattoos), absorption from chemicals from synthetic fabrics, paints, plastics, pesticides and chemical fertilizers sprayed on lawns, and irradiation from medical x-rays, nuclear power plants, bomb testing, uranium mine tailings, cell phones and towers, computer monitors and televisions, microwave ovens, and power grid and radio and satellite transmissions. The modern way of life has not only made our life easier, but has also put our very existence in danger, danger from radiation and pollution.

Damage To Our Immune Systems

The internal sources of toxicity are from fermentation, putrification, and rancidity from undigested foods consumed, and from dehydration, malnutrition, and toxic thoughts and emotions. This endogenous toxicity can also be caused from the effects of exogenous toxins contributing to malnutrition, and inhibition of digestion through damage to the nervous system, immune system, and enzyme systems. With that, we have to take all measures to detoxify.

What is Detoxification?

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins. Poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity. However the most efficient detoxification organ we have is our skin. Our skin contains millions of pores which are equipped to flush out toxins. Flushing out toxins has never been easier with Sauna Therapy!

Symptoms of Being Too Toxic

Constipation and diarrhea, are also indications of foul matter in your intestines. Furthermore, the much more serious problems of cancer and immune system dysfunctions begin with a toxic bowel. Go ahead, purge those foul matter out of your body!

Once we truly understand that the “single greatest challenge our bodies face is the effective removal of wastes and toxins”, we will never again undermine the importance of frequent bowel movements. Do consult with your doctor if you do decide to take any form of laxatives.

Toxic Twentieth Century

Toxicity is of much greater concern in the twentieth century than ever before. There are many new and stronger chemicals, air and water pollution, radiation and nuclear power. We ingest new chemicals, use more drugs of all kinds, eat more sugar and refined foods, and daily abuse ourselves with various stimulants and sedatives. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the main ones. Our body just can no longer cope with all the toxins around us any longer!

Arthritis, allergies, obesity, and many skin problems are others. In addition, a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, pains, coughs, gastrointestinal problems, and problems from immune weakness, can all be related to toxicity.

Flushing Out Toxins

However, we now have a great way of detoxifying by using our main detox organ, which is our skin. Yes, sweating has proven to release more toxins than frequent bowel movement! Your sweat contains more toxins, urea and heavy metal than urine itself. One great way of sweating out all the toxins is by going through sauna therapy. The heat from the sauna forces your body to pump out all the toxins stored within into your sweat system and thus flushes out all the toxins from your body!

So what are you waiting for? Head to your nearest Sauna! Or better yet, get your very own personal sauna.
