A new study has come out talking about the most common car issues in Nevada, and I for one, agree with it wholeheartedly. Personal Injury attorneys Jones and Swanson analyzed the most searched terms in Nevada and these were the results.
The Most Common Car Issues In Nevada Ranked.
Coming in at number 5, transmission slipping. This is not only a horrible feeling, but the sound of a transmission taking a dump can sometimes be nails on a chalkboard. But more importantly, it can be one of the more dangerous car issues in Nevada.
Dead battery is number 4 on the list of most common car issues in Nevada. The signs of a dead battery are... Well, that's pretty easy. YOUR CAR WON'T START. I guess there's more, but I'll let this dude tell you.
Number 3? Leaking oil. This one can cause major anxiety because so many things could be wrong, and that could cost you so many dollars from the engine to cleanup.
Squeaking brakes comes in at Number 2. And I tell you what, brakes going out is not only dangerous but annoying. Similar to a transmission going on the fritz, brakes going out are no bueno. Your brake pads are bad or dirty and in need of cleaning or some lube.
And topping off the list of most common car issues in Nevada is the old flat tire. And I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. Sure, a flat tire can be caused by multiple factors such as incorrect inflation, poor road conditions, and even temperature changes. But in Nevada? How about all the crap in the road because of all the construction? The only saving grace is a flat tire is an easy fix.
Naming Your Car Means You Love It: 10 Popular And Fun Car Names
The "Electric Blue Bomb." That was what I named my first car.
Naming Your Car Is Very Personal And Also Very Fun
The Electric Blue Bomb. It was a used 1972 electric blue Mustang 2 Hatchback, with manual transmission. No AC, but it did have an 8-track player. I had to keep a matchbook in it for it to work, of course, but it was great. Very high tech!
I taught dozens of people how to drive a "stick" in my Electric Blue Bomb. To this day those old high school pals remind of this whenever we get together. It's a fun memory that I will truly cherish forever. And yes - I can still drive a manual transmission, and still teach anyone.
I would also pile people in the hatchback to go to lunch, the drive-in - a party at Julie's house - wherever we needed to be.
What To Consider When Picking Out A Name For Your Car
Does your car not have a name? Why? It's apparently a sign of love. A poll literally found that people who love their car are more likely to name it
49% of people who have a car they love have given it a name. That's compared to 20% of people who just kind of "like" their car, and 14% who really don't like their car.
The poll found the #1 thing we consider when naming our car is its "personality." Make and model is next, followed by how it performs.
1. Personality: What is the feel of your car, and the essence of that ride.
2. Make and model: Someone named their Kia Forte "Will"- after Will Forte.
3. How it performs. Is it fast? Perhaps Zippy," or "Bolt," or "Jet."
Need some ideas on what to name your car? Men and women have different favorites, but there's definitely a name for every car- just like kids.
Here are some of the most popular, and fun car names for 2024. Although, all of them could probably also work for baby names.
1. Shadow
If you have a black, or charcoal car, this seems to be a popular name.
2. Snowball
Yes, the complete opposite of "Shadow." I have a white car. I love "Snowball," but I went with "Betty White."
3. Ruby
Do you have a red car? "Ruby" is a perfect name. I had a friend back in college who named her red car "rhubarb." Cute and catchy for a little red VW bug.
4. Betsy
Still driving that old, reliable station wagon from back in the day? Or maybe that Land Cruiser is still getting you around town. "Betsy" is a great name for that old, reliable vehicle. Rusty and Trusty also work.
5. Gizmo
Is your car filled with high tech? Self-driving? Self-parking? Then "Gizmo" might be the name for your car. Although I think I would go with "Jetson" or "Rosie." Cartoon kids get it.
6. Tank
"TANK!" The name pretty much says it all. Durable, indestructible, and can withstand a whole lot.
7. Sir Honksalot
Just a fun name. And if your car is a fun car, you have to go with a fun name.
8. Speedy McSpeedface
This one might be taken wrong. however, it's another fun name for a fun car.
9. Gassy Gus
Do you have a gas guzzler - or an SUV? Then this might be the car name for you! If so, I'm sorry...
10, Aurora
The Roman goddess of dawn. A beautiful name for a car that’s a joy to get into, and drive, each and everyday! Or - just "Joy."
