Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy: "The Challenge" Audi Commercial
In preparation for the release of upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, which opens in theaters on May 17th, Audi teamed up with the film franchise and produced a commercial featuring both the original Spock and the successor (Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto) in a battle of wits. This may be only entertaining to geeks like myself but surely everyone can appreciate the splendor of the Audi as Zachary Quinto so lavishly boards it as if it were the Enterprise itself! Well, I guess you would have to be a geek to identify with that as well huh...
Suffice it to say that the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, steals the show from the franchise's new Spock, Zachary Quinto. I particularly enjoyed the Bilbo Baggins chant he so candidly sang. Zachary Quinto has quite a task before him to fill such big shoes! So far he's doing grand :).
After we are led to believe Leonard Nimoy to be the winner of the Challenge, the final scene of the commercial serves as enlightenment as Audi manages to amaze both these Vulcan's and we all realize that the winner was Audi all along.
The video was ultimately clever and entertaining. I am excited to see how the movie pans out.

Driving with the Black Box
The National Highway Traffic Safety Board is proposing that
the event data recorder be mandatorily installed during the manufacturing of
all new vehicles beginning on September 1, 2014. Also known as the Black Box,
it is said to have the capability of improving safety technology because it
will be able to detect design problems and safety hazards within any vehicle.
Although
it may be improving safety on U.S. Roadways some are raising the question that
it may be crossing privacy barriers. The Black Box can detect all of the
following; speed, brake pedal position, location of vehicle, if the passengers
are wearing a seatbelt, and if air bags were deployed during a crash.
Insurance
companies, lawyers, and police departments seem to be in the highest benefits
of this new device. Insurance companies will be able to increase or lower your
rates depending on the data provided to them by the device. Lawyers will be
able to provide more significant data in wreck-less driving or DWI cases, and
policemen will be able to quickly note the speed a vehicle was going before
being involved in a crash. The Center for Auto Safety seems to provide
sufficient information that the data recorders will in fact be benefiting more
than anything. In all, the new device is going to approve the safety of most
drivers on the roadway.

How Empty Is Your Tank?
When your fuel light comes on, it is usually an indication
that your gas tank is empty and must be filled as soon as possible. However,
the website Tank on Empty is giving drivers a much different view point on their
low fuel light with the motto: “How far can you go after the gas light in your
car comes on?”
The site is solely
dedicated to collecting figures from its visitors and turning that information into
an estimated measurement of how many miles a vehicle may have until it
completely runs out of gas. Even though it might not be the brightest idea to
run your gas tank until the last drop, we must be thankful for those who have
done so for the sake of others awareness.
With over 3 million page views, the
site has quickly developed a plausible rating with all recognized car models. For
example, a Honda Civic can go an average of 44.12 miles after the fuel light
comes on, according to the 255 voters for that specific model. Each car model is also
represented by its own easy-to-read chart that depicts how many people have
voted for each distance they have gone. So, if you’d like to know how far your
car can go, head over to Tank on Empty and type your car's make and model in the search bar!

Animal Passenger Safety Awareness
Traveling with your pet can be an amusing and exciting adventure, but it is incredibly important to be mindful of your furry friend’s
safety in the same way you would your own children.
Typically, people are often seen traveling with pets unrestrained,
even though this behavior is just as dangerous for a pet as it would be for a
human. Therefore, this matter should be taken quite seriously.
Accordingly, your pet needs to be restrained within a ventilated
crate that is properly fitted to their size and weight, which means the animal
will be able to situate themselves in any position without difficulty or
discomfort. In addition, be sure that
the animal is introduced to the carrier prior to the excursion in your vehicle.
Also, be sure that the kennel is securely fastened, so that it will not shift
or slide in the event of an accident or unexpected vehicle movement.
If you plan on taking a lengthy trip with your pet, it is
suggested to let them experience several short trips beforehand to increase the
comfort and avoid anxiety during travel.
Please, be aware that there is never an acceptable situation
or excuse to leave your pet in your vehicle unattended, ever. In any case, such
behavior is against the law. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, “Even outside temperatures in the 60’s can
cause a car temperature to rise well above 110° F.” More importantly, leaving any animal neglected in a vehicle, for any amount of time,
puts their life in jeopardy.
Lastly, steer clear from feeding your pet in a moving
vehicle to ensure an enjoyable excursion for the both of you!
