In fact, the number of cars for sale online with unfixed recalls increased an average of more than 25% in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. Buyers in these neighboring Midwest states need to be concerned about this disturbing trend. Fortunately, finding open recalls and getting them fixed is easy.

As the temperatures start getting consistently cooler, it’s official: fall is knocking on the door! Whether you’re ready for the end of summer or not, a great way to ease into autumn is to make home updates that make the home a cozy and comfortable oasis. While this can seem like an expensive and stressful undertaking, creating a DIY home makeover plan is easier than you think.
Your lawn can be a canvas for expressing yourself. In fact, over half (52 percent) of homeowners surveyed in TruGreen’s Lawn Lifestyles National Survey of America said that “a homeowner’s lawn can tell you a lot about their personality.” TruGreen, a subsidiary of The ServiceMaster Company, is celebrating 40 years as the nation’s largest professional lawn care service provider, and is educating homeowners on how to consider your lawn personality as a way to boost your home’s curb appeal. Fall is the proper time to prep lawns, trees and shrubs for spring’s growth cycle and the next home buying season.

Two all-electric vehicles fall short of meeting the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s awards criteria, but consumers who want to minimize gas consumption while also prioritizing safety can choose from two plug-in hybrids that earn the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.
The two recently evaluated all-electric models are the 2017 Tesla Model S and the 2017 BMW i3. The plug-in hybrid models are the Chevrolet Volt, whose award was announced in December, and the Toyota Prius Prime.
To qualify for the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in all five crashworthiness evaluations — small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints — and come with a front crash prevention system that earns an advanced or superior rating. The “plus” is awarded to vehicles that meet all those criteria and also come with good or acceptable headlights.

Many parents had their children vaccinated when they were younger, but some vaccines are also recommended for older children. Beyond focusing on school supplies, extracurricular activities, and fall schedules, the back-to-school time is a good opportunity for parents to talk with their health care professional about vaccines that may be recommended for their preteen or teen.

Fall is around the corner, but just because the summer is over it doesn't mean vacations are. Whether your flying, driving or taking a train, there are some key things to consider before you head out the door.
Am kommenden Wochenende starten die Formel 1-Teams beim Grand Prix von Ungarn auf dem Hungaroring nahe Budapest, dem letzten Rennen vor der Sommerpause. Die Strecke unterscheidet sich in ihrer Charakteristik sehr deutlich vom Nürburgring, auf dem Anfang Juli der letzte Grand Prix ausgetragen wurde. Pirelli liefert die Slick-Mischungen P Zero White (Medium) und Yellow (Soft) nach Ungarn. Das ist auf dem Papier dieselbe Nominierung wie in 2012, jedoch sind die Gummimischungen dieser Saison weicher und bieten mehr Performance. Außerdem wurde die Konstruktion der Reifen noch einmal verändert. Die neuen Slicks kombinieren die Struktur der Reifengeneration aus 2012 mit den aktuellen, softeren Gummimischungen der Saison 2013. Vergangene Woche testeten die Teams diese neuen Reifen erfolgreich auf der Strecke in Silverstone und sammelten dabei ausgiebig Informationen. Auf dem engen und kurvigen Hungaroring ist die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit niedrig, ein Faktor, der Abrieb und Verschleiß maßgeblich beeinflusst. Beim Rennen in Ungarn kam es in der Vergangenheit eher seltener zu Regenfällen, für diesen Fall stehen den Teams der Intermediate Cinturato Green sowie der Regenreifen Cinturato Blue zur Verfügung.
