When it comes to business, I think I do very well. I have had a number of successful ventures that have made a lot of money, and I specialize in building businesses from scratch.
But, it is a long process to start from nothing to turn it into a profitable business. Lately, I haven’t really felt that ambitious, but I still wanted to start something, but I just didn’t know where to start.
It was at this point that I thought to start looking at franchises. I figured that they would take most of the uncertainty that a new business gives you, and it would provide a step-by-step guide on how to become a profitable business.
After looking at all my options, I decided that a Fort Lauderdale car rental franchise would be the best way for me to go, but it would also have the extra perk of being able to drive new cars and write it off – it sure sounded like a good deal to me.
But, before I invest any money, I need to be able to ensure that another firm offering Fort Lauderdale rental cars is feasible, therefore, I need to do my due diligence first.
I have also considered offering an Orlando airport car rental service, but I think I will start with the rental car company in Fort Lauderdale first.

1. Slow down - going that extra 5-10 mph faster doesn’t get you there that much quicker, but it does minimize the miles per gallon your car is getting.
2. Accelerate slowly - starting and stopping is what lowers your in-town mpg, and stomping the gas pedal only exacerbates the effect. Ease into the acceleration; there’s no hurry to get to that next red light, and you’ll be saving yourself dollars.
3. Keep your tire pressure up - you know how much harder it is to pedal a bike on a flat tire; cars work the same way.
4. Keep your car in shape - by keeping your oil clean, your air filter clear, and your tires properly balanced and rotated you’ll get more bang for your gas buck.
5. Don’t top off - it’s not like you’re sneaking those few extra drops past the money clicker, so don’t do it. It’s just going to spill out or evaporate anyway.
6. Don’t tailgate - when you’re always braking and accelerating because you’re too close, you’re wasting fuel. Maintaining a safe driving distance is not only safer, but cheaper.
7. Carpool - simple. Splits your bill in half.
8. Get the extra gear racks off the car - if you’re not using the big bike racks or ski boxes bolted up on your car, take them off and reduce the wind drag.
9. Combine your errands - go to a store or an area where you can do the post office run, get the milk, eat lunch, and get your haircut all at once without having to drive to each location.
10. Don’t drive across town for the best gas price - is it really worth it to drive ten miles out of your way to save 65 cents?
| Automotive Innovation: Intelligent Cars |

I am not what you would call a gear head by any stretch of the imagination, but when I am in the car repair shop, I will pick up an automotive magazine or two to flip through while I am waiting.
I mostly just look at the pictures and “Oooo” and “Awww” over some of the nicer, sleeker machines, but recently, I stumbled over an article about ”intelligent cars” (not to be confused with “smart cars“, which are a brand of eco-friendly vehicles that are currently available in Europe.)
Intelligent cars are automobiles that are a bit more intuitive than their predecessors. One example is the car that parallel parks itself. While some people made fun of the feature, this was a feat of revolutionary automotive engineering. Besides, a car that could easily and quickly park itself would be highly necessary for people who live in large cities and have a hard time getting the job done effectively.
Among stand out automotive features that are available today were sensory panels that will let you know if you are about to back into another car or person and car key remotes with a heart sensor that alerts you if someone is crouching beside or inside your car.
Cars of the future will also be able to steer themselves via “smart roads” which are currently being tested. This will make the all around driving experience even safer. The hope is that we will be able to decrease traffic related fatalities and injuries by at least 20 percent in ten years.
Wow. Who knew that automotive news could be so exciting!
