Seven Myths About Hybrid Cars
If you are considering a hybrid vehicle, you might be hearing quite a bit of talk. Some people think the hybrid car is the greatest thing on the market. Some people say this shall just simply pass. Other people say they think they can save a lot of money, but you are maybe not sure it is really worth it. What is the truth, and how do you separate myth from fact with all of the stuff that is being thrown at you? Here are 7 of those common hybrid car myths, you may or may not have heard about.
1. Hybrid cars are the same as electric cars
This is not true because hybrid vehicles are fuel-powered for the most part. They have what are called battery assists. The assist is powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack that is rechargeable.
2. You are guaranteed to save money with a hybrid.
If you are doing city driving, you may save gas and you may not. The same goes for highway driving. There are just too many different factors. It has been stated that if everyone bought hybrid vehicles, the gas consumption would decrease by only 10%, that is not a very big difference.
3. A hybrid cars battery can run out
A hybrid vehicle's battery should not run out while you are driving it. The engine does not idle when stopped as when a regular vehicle does when you are stopped at a red light. What does it do instead? It recharges its battery. So there is no need to worry about it stopping on you.
4. The hybrid cars rechargeable battery only lasts for 2 years
A hybrid definitely would not be worth purchasing if this was truly the case. The rechargeable batteries usually come with an eight-year warranty.
5. If I run out of gas, I can keep driving on the hybrid car battery
Keep in mind, a hybrid car's battery is an assist only. This means that it still runs on fuel. After you run out of gas, the battery may well keep the car running for just a little while only. But, the car will stop very soon.
6. Hybrid vehicles will soon put conventional car sellers out of business
This probably will not occur anytime soon. The reason for the delay has to do with the hefty price tag on a hybrid vehicle. Many people simply cannot afford one. Furthermore, people just are not too sure whether or not they will really save money on a hybrid vehicle. As a result, they are slow to join the rush of people who want a hybrid.
7. Hybrids will only save you about 88 dollars a year
I did hear something on the news about this once, but it may not be true. It went something like this, if there is something you desperately want and there is a lot of smoke surrounding it, you merely have to begin digging and do some of your own research. There are many different models of hybrid cars, and numerous different manufacturers make them. This means that there could be many more variables involved than the ones outlined here. A hybrid car might help you, and it might not, but the final decision is up to you

HTML Version: How Hybrids Work
Some of the advanced technologies typically used by hybrids include
Regenerative Braking. The electric motor applies resistance to the drivetrain causing the wheels to slow down. In return, the energy from the wheels turns the motor, which functions as a generator, converting energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor.
Electric Motor Drive/Assist. The electric motor provides additional power to assist the engine in accelerating, passing, or hill climbing. This allows a smaller, more efficient engine to be used. In some vehicles, the motor alone provides power for low-speed driving conditions where internal combustion engines are least efficient.
Automatic Start/Shutoff. Automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when the accelerator is pressed. This prevents wasted energy from idling.

Finding the Best Looking Car Audio Systems
For car audio fans this is still a question on their lips, should I go for looks over performance? Or performance over looks? Of course, this question is mainly for stereo and the amps, as subwoofers generally have a limited look; however, you can give your car audio system that pimped out look by looking at a variety of interesting systems with different forms and colours.
All car audio specialists agree performance is the utmost important aspect of a in-car music system; yet, looks are without a doubt one of the reasons why people buy a certain car stereo and accessories. After all, no one wants a system that is ugly, with unpractical oversized buttons and small barely visible letters. Not only is it unsightly to the eye, it is also impractical.
Although overall stereos have to be the same shape, alterations can be made through choice of colour, the aesthetics of the display screen and the layout of the buttons. The main frame of a stereo can generally be found in black or silver, with colour additions on the display screen or buttons - these are usually are red, green and blue.
Unlike stereos, amplifiers are not as limited in their aesthetics. Although, traditionally a flat rectangle, there is no reason why they cannot be made into interesting and unusual shapes. Already, the market has seen tubular and triangle amps added to car audio systems. With amps, you can pretty much have free reign over design; yet, manufactures still stick to the traditional rectangle metal style mainly due to its popularity.
Even though you could say 'amps' have been typecast, there are still diverse looking models on the market. Mcintosh with its compelling but ostentatious look gives the impression that the amp is screaming for and demanding attention. Brax, a German creation often provides that cold steel and accurate persona, with its devastatingly precise structure. No angle is rounded or wrong with this beautifully precise piece of engineering.
On the other hand you've got models that simply grab you attention, without being slick, smooth or ostentatious. The Blast BL-500, a model that gained my notice immediately, shows offs its curves and angles in a zesty lime green colour. Colourful and with definite but smooth angles, this model certainly looks the part in a car audio system. Edge, a company that relies on its eye catching looks, as well as extreme power, continues to prove the point that amps can still be beautiful with its tangy orange amp.
Car audio systems do not have to be unnecessarily ugly or even boring looking, as there are quite a number of models out there that will give your car audio system a unique and individual look. However, don't sacrifice quality for looks as having a high quality should be a top priority.
