Northwood's 44th Annual International Auto Show Focuses on Your Desire, Including a Celebrity Appearance of the Transformer Type
The theme for the largest outdoor new car auto show is "The Desire, The Drive, The Destination." This concept allows viewers to choose where they are going in life and how the automobile helps them get there. Tiffany Nabozny, chair of the Northwood University International Auto Show (NUIAS), commented that over 800 students will be participating this year. The show will be taking place September 28th, 29th and 30th on the campus of Northwood University located at 4000 Whiting Drive in Midland. A Classic Car Show will also be taking place both Saturday, September 29th and Sunday, September 30th. New this year will be the celebrity appearance from the cast of the summer box office hit Transformers -- a DreamWorks/Paramount film. Since this is the first show to feature these stars, NUIAS welcomes "Bumblebee", "Autobot Jazz®," "Autobot Ratchet®" and "Ironhide®." They will be joined at the show by over 500 new domestic and imported cars, trucks, vans, experimental, specialty, and recreational vehicles and viewed by over 35,000 annual guests, along with a growing extensive aftermarket exhibit for aftermarket enthusiasts. The auto show is open to the public and admission and parking are free of charge.
Show hours are Friday, September 28th from 1-6 pm, Saturday, September 29th from 9 am-6 pm, and Sunday, September 30th from 10 am-5 pm. Exhibits will line the Mall Walk offering a variety of food, beverage, and entertainment.
The show begins on Friday, September 28th at 11 am at Griswold Lecture Hall with a VIP panel that consists of Dean Eisner, president, Manheim (keynote speaker); Don Reimondo, Affinia; Chip Perry, Autotrader.com; Jody DeVere, president, Askpatty.com; and Darryl Jackson, vice president of U.S. Sales, Chrysler. The panel will be presenting on the current and future happenings in the automotive industry and is also open to the public.
The entire event is all proudly planned and executed solely by Northwood students and we invite you to come and experience what may unlock your desires at this year's show. For more information contact Arlie Jirasek at (989) 837-4823 or at promotionschair@northwood.edu.

Fall is Ideal Time to Winterize Your Vehicle
October, the official Fall Car Care Month, is the perfect time of year to pay special attention to your vehicle and get it ready for winter. The Car Care Council recommends the following steps for winterizing your vehicle:
-- Clean, flush and put new antifreeze in the cooling system. As a general rule of thumb, this should be done every two years.
-- Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly. Consider winter wiper blades and use cold weather washer fluid. As a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every six months.
-- Have the battery and charging system checked for optimum performance. Cold weather is hard on batteries.
-- Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly.
-- Be diligent about changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter. Consider changing to a "winter weight" oil if you live in a cold climate. Have your technician check the fuel, air and transmission filters at the same time.
-- If you're due for a tune-up, have it done before winter sets in. Winter magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling.
-- Have the brakes checked. This braking system is the vehicle's most important safety item.
-- Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather driving when windows are closed.
-- Check to see that exterior and interior lights work and that headlights are properly aimed.
More than 70 percent of motorists admit that they do not have their cars winterized in preparation for inclement weather, according to a survey conducted by the Car Care Council. "When the cold temperatures arrive, many people stay inside and don't take proper care of their vehicles," said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. "Getting the car ready while temperatures are still mild is a proactive approach to preventive maintenance and helps ensure safety and reliability during the upcoming winter months. "Motorists should also keep the gas tank at least half full at all times to decrease the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. Drivers should check the tire pressure of the spare in the trunk and stock an emergency kit with an ice scraper and snowbrush, jumper cables, flashlight, flares, blanket, extra clothes, candles/matches, bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.
