#Cartherous

[greywitchrp]

Do they really think they are going to scare me?

Ella was disgusted as she cleaned the slaughtered animals from the doorstop in front of 2/6 Carther Avenue. The one up one down attached house with the blue door. Well, blue stained with blood currently but that would easily wash off. It was clear these animals had not been found in this state and left for her to find.

The depravity of these men just continued to deepen. They would get theirs though, Karma was a swift mistress and Ella was happy to be the weapon of choice. She was just glad none of the local children had found the ‘gift’ first.

She could feel a gaze on her but that was nothing new, if it wasn’t Mrs Buddington on the corner, then it would be those who had left this for her watching to see her reaction. She hoped she had disappointed them with the lack of screaming and fainting. There were tears in her eyes, but they would never see those, and they weren’t for horror. They were for the innocent lives that had been brutally taken to try and threaten her. It wasn’t going to work, this only hardened her resolve. Those in the barrens needed help, needed protection, and because of who and what she was she could give both.

She wasn’t going to let greed and violence win, not so long as she was breathing. And she planned to keep doing that just to spite them.

Point Hope Wolf Farm - 1

12th Day of Month 8

16th Year of Carther's Reign

I am starting this new diary with some measure of interest, and a large portion of disdain. You see, I am being sent off to Point Hope Wolf Farm for a few months to recuperate my lungs. Why my lungs matter so much to everyone, I know not. They have always been my most sickly organs, to the point where standing up too quickly sometimes arrests my breath.

I was disappointed by this plan largely thanks to receiving an invitation to Amelia Beaufort's legendary Autumn Ball the week before, which is bound to be stupidly grand, with lots of handsome people to mingle with. As it is, I shall be within pastures of smelly wolves all fall season!

Can you imagine? It is what it is, I suppose.

I will be grateful to draw in a full breath of crisp countryside air, at the very least. And who is to say it will not be fun? Mr. and Mrs. Whiteside are good friends of my parents, so it should be alright.

Picture me now, in a nice traveling dress with pink laces, hunched over my diary in the most unladylike way; I have already discovered the joy of being away from one's guardians. There is no sharp tongue telling me to sit straight or smooth my dress, I can be however I like. The tea cart came through and I have chosen a decadent little tart with a cup of tea. This train lurches so smoothly that naught a single drop can spill, even if it wanted to.

My poor health indeed prevents me from taking many holidays, so even this simple landscape is thrilling to me. I can't recall a time when I have ever been so deep in nature. The grass and trees simply roll on, almost enough to worry that Point Hope will be nothing more than endless pastures with only a small cluster of buildings, hardly enough to call a town and derive some pleasure from walking its streets.

But no need to be concerned just yet, there is the journey of a switch train and another two hours ahead. For now, I will eat my tart and do my best not to get jam on my pages.

The switch train has happened. This one is drastically cheap-looking with 'luxury' seats that would be considered third-class quality in the city. No matter, there is only an hour left to go and I am not a girl of unnecessary complaint. Good thing I have already had my tea on the first train because this one jerks and shakes so much that it makes drinking impossible. One gentleman across from me attempted and only ended up soaking his newspaper with tea.

Something interesting happened just now that made me straighten in my seat. Apparently there was a mixup in the cars, and one beast car had been put between two traveling cars, one of which happened to be my compartment. As it was, they had to walk a pack of wolves through the luxury car to get to their own. There was such an uproar of discontent, and one lady even fainted!

I just stared in amazement because I had not been prepared for what wolfmen would look like. These ones were docile in their collars of silver and disturbed no one as they were pushed through, but they were quite the sight! If I could draw, I would be tempted to try a sketch. Huge creatures with coarse-looking fur of shades from brown and cinnamon to black. Rough hands that end in claws that can rip a man's throat out in one violent motion.

Their eyes were that of beasts with human intelligence behind them, which was terrible now that I think back to it. Their bodies were vulgar to look at; they wore no clothes at all.

My curiosity tempted me to look between the legs, but I shamed myself out of it. One of them stumbled, jostled by the others. He fell to the ground nearly on my lap. I am surprised I did not jump up in sheer surprise, but I suppose the fear froze me. I was thinking,

Look at that huge head, with teeth as long as my hand. He could bite my leg off at once and think nothing of it.

I did note that his eyes were gentle and soft, like those of a good family dog. Suddenly he was being yanked up in a chokehold by one of the handlers. Let me tell you, the handlers themselves are no joke. They have to be strong to even begin to dream of handling such dangerous creatures.

Then they were gone from the car and people were grumbling with the vestiges of shock and some concern for me. I had just picked up my diary to begin my earnest recording of this remarkable encounter when the woman across from me in a giant feather hat said,

"Well, that was frightful. Traveling alone, young lady? Are you quite old enough?"

"I am in my twentieth year, ma'am," I smiled.

"Oh, indeed? Are you going to see your beau or family perhaps?"

So, she was the nosy sort. She reminded me of my Aunt Clarise, only this woman was larger and softer, with a bosom that would be quite pillowy for a weary head.

"I am taking a holiday for my health. The doctor said the clean air would do my lungs some good," I replied, and she set about with an earnest conversation about general health, the air, and what remedies worked best for congested lungs.

She knew it all and had a child like me. I just smiled and nodded along because I could not tell her that I cared little about my general well-being and only wanted enough performance out of my body to keep from fainting every two hours. Eventually, the train stopped in Point Hope, and I said goodbye.

"Have a good one, dear," she said. "I live in town myself, so perhaps we will cross paths again."

I told her I sure hoped so. The beast cars were unloaded too and the wolfmen were herded to the side to be loaded into large cages for transfer. I was quite certain they would be taken to Point Hope Farm because if there was another wolf farm, I had not heard of it. I had a carriage and driver waiting, a relatively handsome young man with a nice smile. He took my bags and opened the door for me and I settled down for the last few minutes of the journey.

This will be the last I write in my diary until the evening, for I will surely have too much to see to spare time for writing.

What your fav mother 3 carther

Gaah, sorry for taking so long to answer!! ; ; My favorite is Lucas. There are many reasons but aghh, I'm not the best at putting my ideas into words. I like Lucas for his story, his kindness and his strength. When I was a teenager I used to think I wasn't nice enough (maybe I wasn't), then I played Mother 3 and felt inspired by Lucas to be a kinder person, to love more. Wahhhh, I really owe him a lot. People say video games influence kids and they really do, they've always influenced me to try and be better o(-( Anyway, yeah, I love all the main characters but Lucas is definitely my favorite, the kid has a special place in my heart. I love him so much.

South Korea: Traveling by Car

There are two major differences when traveling by car instead of by bus or train in South Korea. First the ability to stop willy-nilly wherever the heck you desire and it is your responsibility to pay for gas and toll fees. Because gas prices in South Korea are charged by the liter (a quart), we were invited on a road trip to Gyeongju in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Gyeongju is famous for its artifacts, ruins and relics from the Shilla Dynasty, 57 BC to 935 AD. In addition to the Shilla Dynasty the surrounding mountains and valleys hold a plethora of antiquity. The Gyeongju National Parks have hundreds of hiking trails leading to Buddhist carvings, shrines, stone pagodas and temples. Amazing sights to observe are the large green mounds housing tombs rolling across the cityscape called tumuli.

Starting from Paju city in the northwestern corner of South Korea the drive would take five and a half hours to get to Gyeongju on one tank of gas. Our departing time was five o'clock in the morning traveling down highway 23 into the outskirts of Seoul connecting to highway 100. Highway 100 loops the entire city and has several tollbooths attached charging 1,000 won to enter each segment. Once on the highway we would drive until it met up with expressway 1, paying another toll of 1,000 won and continuing our adventure south. Two hours and fifteen minutes later we pulled off at a roadside rest stop to use the bathroom, grab a cup of java, some snacks and fill up the car. 92,000 won later we pulled back out onto the expressway continuing the journey south.

As the sun rose over the horizon line the car zigged through the rural countryside zagging back across the small mountain towns. An ever-stagnant landscape of farmland with plows, rice machinery and farm houses piling up at the edge of the expressway. A scene of both poverty and wealth stretching out as far as the eye could see.

Just shy of three hours later we reached the outskirts of Gyeongju pausing at the tollbooth decorated with traditional Shilla Dynasty roofing to pay the ticket fee of 15,900 won. The reason this toll fee was incredibly larger than the previous ones was distance covered between tollbooths. After a day and a half of tourist activities covering Anapji Pond, Bulguk-sa temple, the Gyeongju National Museum, a hike on Namsan Mountain to Chilbulam hermitage, visiting Seokguram Grotto, and a stroll through Tumuli Park to get a glimpse of the far east's oldest observatory: Cheonmachong.

We went to the Amalfi Coast during peak summer season. These 4 tips made our trip better &ampmdash; but there's one mistake I won't make again.

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/11/we-went-to-the-amalfi-coast-during-peak-summer-season-these-4-tips-made-our-trip-better-ampmdash-but-theres-one-mistake-i-wont-make-again-2/

We went to the Amalfi Coast during peak summer season. These 4 tips made our trip better &ampmdash; but there's one mistake I won't make again.

My family visited the Amalfi Coast during its busiest season. Alesandra DubinMy family visited the Amalfi Coast during the peak summer season, and it was hot and crowded.I was glad we didn't deal with the hassle of renting a car, and we had comfy shoes.I wish I hadn't booked so many excursions and tried to pack too much into the trip.When I planned my family's trip to Southern Italy — including a stop at the Amalfi Coast — for the end of July, I knew enough to expect it'd be hot and crowded.July and August are some of the warmest months for the area, and it's famously a crowded tourist hot spot that can get expensive to visit throughout summer. I also saw many videos online of unprepared tourists lugging suitcases up cliffside steps in the heat and fighting for an inch of elbow room at famous sights throughout the region.But I'd always wanted to visit, and I had to work around my kids' school vacation schedules. So off we went in peak season.Although we made many happy memories, we also encountered plenty of discomfort. Here are four things that helped make our trip better — and one thing I wouldn't do next time.Regularly taking our food to go saved us moneyWe stopped for photos while walking around the Amalfi Coast. Alesandra DubinIf you're ready to get off your feet and have the time to enjoy a restaurant experience, do it. But if you're just feeling peckish for a quick snack, eating it as you stroll can save you a few euros.That's because some restaurants tack on a coperto, or an additional cover fee for a dine-in experience — even if you're grabbing a quick coffee or gelato at a sidewalk table. It doesn't seem like much, but the name of the game for budget-conscious travelers is saving a few euros wherever you can. And did I mention how expensive this destination can get during high season? I was glad we didn't rent a carThere are so many iconic sights around the Amalfi Coast, all packed into what seems like a feasible number of kilometers to traverse in a few days' time.Renting a car is possible, but this area is not casual road-trip territory unless you're adventurous, fearless, and well-insured. Many roads felt treacherous because they were narrow and perched above dramatic cliffs leading to the sea. Sometimes, they were one-way only.If you're not staying in one location and plan to explore the area mostly by foot, I'd recommend hiring a driver (as we did) or arranging some other organized tour.Packing fashionably but practically was keyComfortable shoes are helpful when walking around the Amalfi Coast. Alesandra DubinThe Amalfi Coast is like a fashion show in high season — a feast for the eyes of chic coastal Italian style.But with the heat and cliffside topography, you must pack for practicality as well or pay for the choice with discomfort.I was glad we packed breathable clothing that could withstand the stifling heat and humidity. Comfortable footwear is also crucial because the beautiful path to Positano is steep, with lots of ramps and stairs. Some of the beaches have pebbles instead of sand, so consider packing water shoes or other supportive footwear, too.Eating a lot of pizza was also a great idea for our walletsPizza is abundant, authentic, and downright delicious in the region, but there's a less obvious reason to eat a ton of it on the Amalfi Coast: It's cheap.Prices around tourist hubs in this region felt sky-high, especially in busy season. Our accommodations, transportation, souvenirs, and meals added up, but we tried to save where we could.At many places we ate, pizza was the cheapest item on the menu by a landslide. Fortunately, it's also a crowd-pleaser for our whole family, so sharing it felt like a true cost-saving strategy.Still, I wish we hadn't overbooked and tried to do too muchWe tried to see a lot of the Amalfi Coast in just a few days. Alesandra DubinOur Airbnb in Sorrento was our hub from which we'd visit the Amalfi Coast and surrounding area on day trips. This was a good move. Trying to pack a ton of activities into a few days amid hectic crowds and intense heat was not.I'd booked many excursions online in advance but found my family was just too tired to do several of them. Unfortunately, I was on the hook to pay for them even if we didn't show up. In fact, my husband and daughter opted out of our semi-private boat trip to Capri because they simply couldn't wake up in time. (They ended up getting FOMO and meeting the rest of my family there later on the ferry, meaning we paid double. Fail.)I found if you try to do too much, you'll just exhaust yourself — at the expense of a fun or meaningful experience.If I did this trip again, I'd plan to check off fewer of the so-called "can't miss" sights so I could spend more time relaxing and absorbing the scenery and local culture with a spritz in hand.

Klassiker-Verlage Teil 1: Akademische Qualität im Kleinoktavformat

Der Manesse-Verlag ist ein Traditionsverlag aus Zürich, welcher besonders mit der seit seiner Gründung 1944 geführten Bibliothek der Weltliteratur verbunden wird. Er zeichnet sich durch eine unkonventionelle Textauswahl, ausführliche literaturwissenschaftliche Nachworte und eine auffällige Schönheit der handlichen Ausgaben mit Leinenumschlag aus. Bis 2017 bestand das typische Cover der Reihe aus einem weißen Untergrund, einem dezenten Abdruck von Titel und Autor sowie häufig romantischen Gemälden vor farbigem Hintergrund im unteren Bereich des Umschlags und umhüllt sich insgesamt mit einem angenehmen Orbit des Klassikers. Das aktualisierte Layout arbeitet nun mehr mit bunten Farben und Kontrasten, verzichtet teilweise auf Umschläge und druckt das Cover direkt auf den Leinenumschlag. Auch wenn man sich damit der Optik der heutzutage sehr verbreiteten, kleinen Hand-Ausgaben verschiedener Verlage anpasst, fällt die Qualität (und ein dementsprechend leicht höherer Preis) der Ausgaben weiterhin auf. Als Reisebuch eignen sich die Ausgaben ganz besonders, auch wenn sie ebenso wie die klassischen Reclam-Hefte eine gesunde Sehkraft – mit oder ohne Unterstützung – voraussetzen.  

Neben großen Namen wie Goethe, Tolstoi und Melville (die Autoren der ersten drei Ausgaben von 1944), Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Theodor Fontane, den Bronte-Schwestern, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Platon und vielen anderen internationalen Vertretern der Weltliteratur sind hier auch eher unbekannte Werke wie Der Stopfkuchen von Wilhelm Raabe, die wenigen Romane des Dänen Jens Peter Jacobs oder gesammelte Erzählungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern im Programm zu finden. Die hochwertigen literaturwissenschaftlichen Ergänzungen zu den Werken und Personen sind bei diesen Unbekannten besonders wertvoll für den Leser. Unbekanntes lässt sich auf diese Weise angemessen einordnen, Autoren grob kennenlernen und auch einschätzen, ob das Werk nur heute wenig bekannt ist oder zu den vielen im Nachgang vergessenen Kunstwerken der Menschheitsgeschichte gehört. Der zeitliche Rahmen reicht hier von Texten der Antike und des Mittelalters über die literarische Romantik bis in das 20. Jahrhundert hinein. 2023 erschienen Werke von Platon, Montaigne und zum 150. Geburtstag von Willa Carther eine Neuauflage ihres 2008 in der Reihe erschienenen Romans Lucy Gayheart. 2018 erschienen Texte von Kafka, Cocteau, Morus, Steinbeck, Turgenjew und Sinclair Lewis. Dabei kann sich der Leser unabhängig vom Bekanntheitsgrad des Textes und des oder der Übersetzer*In auf eine qualitativ hochwertige Textgrundlage verlassen und auf fachkundige Erläuterungen einstellen. Sprachästhetisch und literaturhistorisch interessierte wie bibliophil veranlagte Leser können damit ein umfassendes Vergnügen erwarten. Die neueste Selma Lagerlöf-Veröffentlichung ist von Knausgård-Übersetzer Paul Berf aufbereitet worden, unter den Verfassern der Nachworte sind unter anderem die Autor*Innen Doris Lessing, Norbert Gstrein, Susan Sontag, Uwe Timm, Alexander Kluge, Maarten ’t Hart, Eva Menasse, Arno Geiger, Florian Illies und neben Jan Assman (Entwickler des Modells eines kulturellen Gedächtnisses) und Manfred Pfister (Autor des Standardwerks „Das Drama“) viele andere namhafte Kulturwissenschaftler*Innen, Germanist*Innen, Anglist*Innen, Sprachwissenschaftler*Innen und Musikwissenschaftler*Innen sowie Literaturkritiker*Innen wie Ijoma Mangold.

Unser westlicher Blick auf die „Weltliteratur“ beschränkt sich oft auf diese „westliche“ Welt und daher stehen hier englischsprachige Literatur aus den USA und GB sowie europäische Literatur aus Frankreich, Deutschland und Italien im Fokus des sogenannten Kanons. Aber mit der Globalisierung wird der Rahmen immer größer und durch vereinfachte Zugänglichkeit und umfassendere Übersetzungsprojekte werden nahe wie ferne Literaturwelten immer mehr Teil der natürlichen Wahrnehmung der Leser in Europa. Dennoch braucht es in Norwegen einen liquiden Karl-Ove Knausgård, welcher in seinem Pelikan-Verlag norwegische Übersetzungen von u.a. Christian Kracht und Peter Handke verlegt. Die Arbeit des Übersetzers wird selten ausreichend gewürdigt. Die Leipziger Buchmesse fällt mit ihrem Preis für die beste Übersetzung positiv auf. Dabei ist man als Leser gänzlich von ihnen abhängig, da spätestens die asiatischen und afrikanischen Sprachen das Lesen im Original schwierig bis unmöglich machen. Gerade die afrikanische, asiatische und japanische Literatur erreicht in deutschen oder auch englischen Ausgaben die interessierten Leser mittlerweile, ohne dass sie diese selbst bestellen müssen. Sie liegen einfach in den Buchläden aus. Der besondere Reiz ist hier sicher „das Neue“ – stilistisch wie inhaltlich. Literatur fungiert auch als Spiegel einer Gesellschaft und Kultur und so eröffnet sie einen Blick auf die Welt und vergangene Zeiten. Gerade als Leser von profitorientierten und dementsprechend ausgereizten Genres wie der Fantasy- und Horror-Literatur erlebt man diese Erweiterung des Angebots als große Bereicherung.

Der Manesse-Verlag pflegt diese Vielfalt in seiner Reihe schon seit deren Beginn. Die Literatur der Antike wird mit Werken bis zur Gegenwart aus Europa, den nordischen Ländern, Russland, den USA und Kanada, der Türkei, Asien, dem arabischen Raum, Persien und Südafrika weitergeführt. In einer Vielzahl von Anthologien werden die Werke von Autor*Innen all dieser Länder und in all diesen Sprachen direkt vereint. Auch Werke aus dem Katalanischen und Hebräischen sind Teil des Katalogs.  Eine gewisse Einführung kann dann entweder hilfreich sein oder den eigenen Blick auf den Text verstellen, aber als mündiger Leser bleibt die Lektüre eines Nachwortes ja eine freiwillige Entscheidung. Bei der Lektüre eines Bandes der Bibliothek der Weltliteratur bietet es meist erhellende und auf ein Minimum reduzierte Informationen, in einigen Fällen auch Erläuterungen zu relevanten Hintergründen.

Eine weitere Hürde ist sicher die Übersetzung. Diejenigen, welche einen Text von einer Sprache in eine andere Sprache übertragen sehen sich nicht nur mit sprachlichen Fragen konfrontiert, sondern auch mit kulturellen wie gesellschaftlichen Fragen, welche die nicht niedergeschriebene Basis von Texten sind und dementsprechend nicht nur mit der Übersetzung weiterzugeben sind. Die Macht der Übersetzung darf nicht vergessen werden. Ein prominentes Beispiel hierfür ist die Neuübersetzung des Romans Gefährliche Geliebte von Haruki Murakamis Stammübersetzerin Ursula Gräfe, deren 2013 veröffentlichte Übersetzung des 1992 verfassten Romans den Einfluss ihrer eigenen Sprache überdeutlich offenbarte. Vielleicht liest man hier eher einen Gräfe-, denn einen Murakami-Roman. Die Übersetzungen für den Manesse-Verlag sind sprachlich sehr gut und haben einen hohen Standard, welcher zumindest ein großes Bemühen um Originalität und Authentizität vermuten lässt. Als Fazit lässt sich daher festhalten, dass die Bibliothek der Weltliteratur Lektüre auf hohen Niveau bietet – sowohl intellektuell als auch rein optisch und in der praktischen Handhabung.  

Persönlicher Zugang:

Ich wurde rein optisch von meinem ersten (gebrauchten) Manesse-Band angezogen, den "Meisternovellen" vom Nobelpreisträger Björnstjerne Björnson (1963 erschienen). Der Auslagetisch eines Antiquariats lockte mit einigen gut erhaltenen Ausgaben der Reihe. Das Cover und die handliche Größe fielen mir als rege Nutzerin des ÖPNV sofort ins Auge. Mein Rucksack wiegt meist schwer, da standardmäßig mehrere Bücher für alle Eventualitäten (wenn auch nicht in dem Ausmaß wie es Rory Gilmore in den "Gilmore Girls" handhabt) darin zu finden sind. Zur Rückenschonung sind handliche Bücher daher ein Muss, während dicke Schmöker Zuhause genossen werden sollten. Zudem wurde mit der Lektüre von Knausgård-Romanen, den in seinem Werk mehrfach angesprochenen Romanen des Skandalautors Knut Hamsun und einigen anderen skandinavischen Romanen (explizit KEINE Krimis) mein Interesse an der nordischen Literatur geweckt. Und hier hat der Manesse-Verlag einige Romane und Erzählungen zu bieten. Anschließend griff ich von selbigem Tisch dann den hochromantischen Roman "Niels Lyhne" vom Dänen Jacobsen und ließ mich von der naturmystischen Kulisse verzaubern. Momentan ist mein "Buch für Unterwegs" der englische Reisebericht "Die Aran-Inseln" von John M. Synge und neben dem schönen grünen Buchrücken sind auch die Illustrationen hier besonders zu betonen. Die Bilder des Films The Banshees of Inisherin können dabei meine Vorstellung allerdings nicht ganz verlassen.

Car Parts 101: The Essential Components of Your Vehicle

Have you ever wondered what are the main parts of a car and how they work together to make your vehicle run smoothly? If you are like me, you probably don’t know much about car mechanics and maintenance.

But as a responsible car owner, I think it’s important to have some basic knowledge and understanding of the vehicle I drive. That’s why I decided to do some research and write this article to share with you what I learned.

In this post, you will learn about the basic parts of your car, how they work together, and why they are important for your safety and performance. You will also discover how to find the best car parts store near me for your needs.

Read on and get ready to boost your car knowledge!

The Main Parts of a Car

There are four main parts of a car: the chassis, the body, the transmission, and the engine. These are the essential components that make up the structure and function of your vehicle.

Let’s take a look at each one in more detail.

The Chassis

The chassis is the frame or skeleton of your car. It supports the engine, the power transmission, and the car body. It also has a suspension system, axles, wheels, tires, and brakes.

The suspension system and the wheels absorb the shocks and vibrations from the road, making your ride more comfortable and stable. The axles connect the wheels to the chassis and allow them to rotate. The tires provide traction and grip on different surfaces. The brakes slow down or stop your car by applying friction to the wheels.

To maintain your chassis, you should check your tire pressure regularly and rotate your tires every 5,000 miles or so. You should also inspect your brakes for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if needed.

The Body

The body is the outer cover of your car. It protects the passengers and the internal components from external elements, such as weather, dust, or debris. It also gives your car its shape, style, and color.

The body has different parts, such as the hood, the trunk, the doors, the windows, the windshield, and the lights. The hood covers the engine compartment and allows access to it. The trunk provides storage space for your belongings.

The doors allow you to enter and exit your car. The windows let you see outside and control ventilation. The windshield protects you from wind and flying objects. The lights help you see and be seen at night or in low-visibility conditions.

To maintain your body, you should wash your car regularly and wax it occasionally to prevent rust and corrosion. You should also repair any dents or scratches as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

The Transmission

The transmission is a gearbox that changes the gears and power of your vehicle. It connects the engine to the wheels and allows you to control your speed and direction.

There are two types of transmission: manual and automatic. A manual transmission requires you to shift gears manually using a clutch pedal and a gear lever. An automatic transmission does this for you automatically using sensors and hydraulic pressure.

To maintain your transmission, you should check your transmission fluid level regularly and change it every 30,000 miles or so. You should also avoid overheating your transmission by driving smoothly and not towing heavy loads.

The Engine

The engine is the power generator or power plant of your car. It converts heat from burning fuel into mechanical energy that turns the wheels. It is also known as the motor or internal combustion engine.

The engine has many parts, such as the spark plugs, the cylinder heads, the pistons, the valves, the crankshaft, and the camshaft. The spark plugs ignite a mixture of air and fuel in each cylinder. The cylinder heads seal each cylinder from above.

The pistons move up and down inside each cylinder due to combustion pressure. The valves control the flow of air and fuel into each cylinder and exhaust out of it.

The crankshaft converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion that drives the wheels. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves using a chain or belt.

To maintain your engine, you should check your oil level regularly and change it every 3,000 miles or so. You should also replace your spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter every 15,000 miles or so.

You should also inspect your belts and hoses for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if needed.

Conclusion

Now you know the main parts of a car and their functions. You also know how to take care of them and keep them in good condition. I hope this article was helpful and informative for you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.

Thank you for reading and happy driving!

Why buying a used car can save you thousands of dollars

Are you in the market for a new car but dread the thought of shelling out tens of thousands of dollars? Well, have you considered buying used cars for sale South Auckland instead? Not only can purchasing a pre-owned vehicle save you a significant amount of money upfront, but it can also save you in other ways down the road. In this blog post, we'll explore why buying a used car is not only financially savvy but also an environmentally responsible choice. So buckle up, and let's dive into the world of used cars!

Why buy a used car?

There are a few reasons why people choose to buy used cars. Generally, buying a used car can save you thousands of dollars on your purchase price. Here are four reasons why buying a used car is a great option for you:

1. Used cars for sale South Auckland typically have fewer miles on them than new cars, which means they're less likely to have been in accidents or have major mechanical issues.

2. Used cars typically cost less to maintain than new cars, since they don't require as many expensive repairs and updates.

3. Used cars are often more reliable than new cars, which means you're more likely to get the mileage out of them that you expect.

4. Used car buyers tend to be able to negotiate better prices on used vehicles than new vehicles due to the fact that there is less competition for these vehicles.

The benefits of buying a used car

If you're looking to buy a new or used car, here are some of the benefits you can expect:

Used Cars Typically Pose Less Risks: New cars come with a slew of costly warranties and features that can be unreliable or even dangerous. Used cars from second hand car dealers South Auckland, on the other hand, typically don't come with these protections, which means you're more likely to get what you paid for.

Used Cars Can Be More Reliable: New cars are often developed based on tests conducted on brand-new models. This means that they may have bugs that haven't been worked out yet - and those bugs can show up in used cars as well. Conversely, used cars tend to age more gracefully and may already have had some of the kinks worked out by the time you buy them.

How to buy a used car

There are a few things to keep in mind when buying a used car from second hand car dealers South Auckland. The first is to make sure the car has been well-maintained.

Don’t be afraid to ask around for advice. Used car dealerships are often happy to give you a free inspection of the car you’re interested in, and they may be able to offer you a better deal than you could find online. You can contact us to learn more used car loans South Auckland.
