Dear <<First Name>>,

Can summer really be wrapping up already?  This has been an exciting month for the carshare with a few new vehicle purchases for replacement and upgrades. One I have been flip flopping on is this 2006 Smart Car ForTwo Passion Convertible. This is a local sale and I have had the chance to drive it, super fun! What do you think? Reply to this email with your opinion.

  • Over heating vehicles: Hot weather is certainly here and will be for a while.  To avoid overheating vehicles do not run the air conditioner when climbing steep hills and passes. If you notice the temperature gauge getting near hot then pull over and let the vehicle cool down.  For more tips visit http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-an-Engine-from-Overheating
  • Booking a personal trailer: Please remember to book the personal trailer object if you are using the truck with a trailer and complete a second slip for the KM that the truck pulled the trailer.
  • Electric Car Tour: While in Sicamous visiting for my nephews graduation we stayed at the Best Western where they have a car charging station.  I met this great couple from California who were enjoying their retirement in their electric car.  Here are some pics of the adventure.
