All Mayor's Should Drive a 300C

This sounds like a good town to be mayor in I do believe. The mayor feels he is saving money by driving a Chrysler300C. via inner-west-courier
STRATHFIELD[Au] Council could see its next mayor whipping around the area in a Porsche.
Last year the mayor couldn’t spend more than $40,000 on a car and former mayor Keith Kwon chose not to take one at all.
Councillors passed an amended policy on expenses last week, overriding last August’s draft policy which set the limit at the luxury car tax threshold of $57,000, or up to $75,000 for fuel-efficient cars, and setting no limit on the cost of the mayoral vehicle.
Strathfield mayor Tony Maroun defended the decision, saying the amended policy was in line with provisions under the Local Government Act and the Department of Local Government’s guidelines.
“It is important to point out that council does not have any luxury cars in its fleet,” he said.
“While the maximum price of the vehicle that can be purchased for the mayor is ... around the $57,000 mark, the Chrysler 300C I use cost $43,000, which is well inside the limit.”
Cr Maroun said his car was part of the council’s overall fleet, and considerations such as the price, running costs and greenhouse emissions were all considered as part of the purchasing decision.
Independent councillor Danny Lim said Cr Maroun should not take up the offer of a car:
“What does he want next? A helicopter?”

Avoid Car Dent Repair Costs in These 5 Ways

While it is inevitable that our cars get dings and dents from time to time, there are many ways to lessen the chances of car dents. It is important that we know exactly what the cause of our car dent was in order to avoid it in the future.

There are 5 common ways to avoid car dents, thereby, avoiding or decreasing car dent repair costs which can be very expensive sometimes.

1. Clean up your garage - if you are parking your car in your garage, make sure it is tidy enough. Sure, our garage often becomes our storage room sometimes, but if we love our car, the less clutter in the garage, the better.

2. Know how to park - let's just put it this way, if you do not know how to park, expect to bump into something from time to time. Be it a parking alley, or parking sign, or worst, another parked car.

3. Avoid parking in vulnerable places - this varies from different places but by vulnerable, it generally means places where your car is prone to vandalism or car bumps and kicks by antisocial, immature groups.

4. Park away from other vehicles - if you are not sure you can squeeze in your car in tight parking spaces, and you see a space quite far but you are sure you can park it without worries, and then by all means park it there. If this is what it takes to avoid unnecessary dents, do it.

5. Park beside cars that look well taken cared of - the rationale behind this is that if the owner of that car is able to maintain his car to look that good, then it would less likely be that he'd bump into your car while opening his doors because he's too careful himself.

But of course, no matter how careful we are, there will always be things beyond our control. If you face car dent repair problems and you do not want to spend too much, there are services you can avail of at a much cheaper price. No, I am not talking about repairing it yourself because obviously it will cost you lesser and is highly not recommended, but I am talking about mobile paintless dent repair companies who charge lesser than normal car repair shops, but produce the same quality of output. The good thing about these companies is that they come to you, instead of you coming to them.

300C Two Tone

Sitting at the drive-in for their Saturday afternoon meet up two 300C drivers started talking to the new guy with a 2005 300C that had a rather unusual paint job. Now most paint jobs that are two toned split the upper and lower half of the auto. This one split the car in half from the top. One half of the 300C metallic red the other a lite purple. .
My buddy said "Hey," asked one, "why did you paint one side of your chrysler red and the other side purple?"

"Well," the other responded, "when I get into an accident, you should see how all the witnesses contradict each other."
