MileOne Automotive Holds Groundbreaking for Hall Honda Elizabeth City
Elizabeth City, NC (July 9, 2008) – MileOne Automotive held a groundbreaking event on July 9th for the new Hall Honda Elizabeth City, which will be part of MileOne’s Hall Automotive platform. The Mayor of Elizabeth City, the Honorable Steve Atkinson and Jerry Fader, the President and COO of MileOne attended the event along with representatives from Hall Automotive and American Honda. Expected to open in January 2009, the new Honda dealership will replace Hall’s State Line Honda in Moyock and will be located at the intersection of Halstead Boulevard and Tanglewood Parkway servicing the Elizabeth City, Hertford, Edenton, Currituck Sound and Nag’s Head residents.
“We are investing over $5 million dollars in this new Honda Sales, Service and Parts facility,” said Hall Automotive CFO, Bill Baker.
The 25,000 square-foot dealership will consist of a six car showroom, a parts and accessories center and a state-of-art service facility housing 16 service and quick lube bays.
According to Fred Miller, the President and COO of Hall Automotive, “The new dealership will help us better serve our North Carolina Honda new and certified pre-owned customers.”

Honda refits the Fit for '09
The Honda Fit, freshened with a new engine and sportier suspension, bowed this afternoon at the New York auto show.
The 2009 model is expected to go on sale this fall. The subcompact’s upgrades include a new 1.5-liter VTEC four-cylinder engine. It’s mated to a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.
Honda is promising more details closer to the Fit’s arrival in showrooms, but hinted in a statement that the suspension has been bolstered for better steering and rigidity. The car has 15-inch wheels standard, with 16-inchers on the Sport package.
Other features include steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a navigation system with voice recognition and improved fold-down seats.
The redesigned Fit also adopts Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body technology, which is already in most of its other U.S. offerings. The engineering technology makes the car's body more rigid and better able to dissipate crash forces. The new fit also duel-stage airbags and occupant sensors.

Woman Logs 1.1 Million Miles on Stock 1970 Chevy Camaro SS350!
In April, 1970, Emma Ely bought her third Chevy Camaro, an SS350 in an eye-popping Nassau Blue color with decorative white stripes. 38 years later, Emma not only continues to use the Camaro as a daily driver but she has managed to stack more than 1,100,000 miles on the coupe’s odometer –all on the original motor, transmission, and rear end! Just recently the 72-year-old retired nurse paid about $6,000 –nearly twice what she paid for the car in 1970, to perform a mini-restoration to the Camaro SS350 that included a new paintjob and some new parts that she hand picked herself. Amazing to say the least.

Tire Wear
The condition of your tires is one of the most important mechanical factors in vehicle safety. There are four ways you can improve the safety and performance of your tires.
Keep tires properly inflated. Check them at least monthly to notice if tire pressure appears to be getting low. Incorrect tire pressure can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, excessive heat build up, and possible tire failure. Check your vehicle manual for recommended tire pressures. If you have new tires installed, check their pressure. Recommended tire pressures can vary depending on the brand of tire. When you check tire pressure, do so the first thing in the morning for an accurate reading. Driving the car heats up the tires and changes their pressure.
Rotate tires to increase life. Follow the rotation schedule in your car’s owner’s manual.
Keep tires balanced and aligned. Improperly balanced tires can produce an uneven ride that can result in poor handling. Defective alignment can cause excessive tire wear and the vehicle to pull to the side.
Replace tires when the tread gets too low. What is too low? All tires have “treadwear indicators” built right into them. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread groves and will appear as “bands” when the tread depth reduces to the size of 1/16th of an inch. When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced. Look in your vehicle’s manual for more information. Usually the manual will have a picture showing what the tread wear indicators look like. Take a look at your tires on a regular basis. Have a professional check them out further if you have any doubts about their safety.
Make sure that your automobile is up to date on its service schedule.

Richmond has been the capital of Virginia since 1780 when it was moved from Williamsburg. Before Williamsburg, the capital was located in the first permanent English settlement in the New World. What was its name?
Jamestown.
In May 1607, three ships, 'Susan Constant', 'Godspeed' and 'Discovery', landed at what is now known as the Jamestown settlement. In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, replicas of the three ships were built and will visit cities along the East Coast as floating museums. Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg are located about 45 minutes from Richmond. Scenic Route 5 stretches between Richmond and Williamsburg with several historic plantations along the way.
