It’s that time of year again where the leaves are bursting with color and attracting people from all over. Leaf peeping is beautiful and relaxing, but it is still important to pay attention to the road and potential hazards. We can enjoy all the vibrant roadside colors while remaining safe. Let’s take a look at a few fall driving tips to ensure you have the best experience possible while on the road.
Pay extra attention to the road and obstructions that may exist. Leaves will be falling and blowing all around, so make sure you are aware of the road ahead. Leaves that coat the road can become dangerous especially when wet. When wet they can be just as dangerous as ice causing poor stopping power and maneuverability. In addition to fewer leaves providing slippery roads, they may also cause poor visibility of road markings. Use your discretion when you notice leaves are abundant because they may cover up painted lines, manhole covers, potholes, and other hazards that may damage your vehicle.
Keep an extra pair of sunglasses in the car. During the fall months, the sun is rising and setting at different times. This causes more glare on your daily commute that is not only annoying but could prove to be hazardous. Make use of those sunglasses and don’t forget your sun visor will greatly help. Less daylight means that you will be using your lights more often. Make sure all functions and bulbs are working properly to stay safe on the roadways.
Fall is that in-between time of the year where it is warm during the day and the temperature falls at night. As fall progresses there may even be a slight frost at night. Make sure your defroster is working properly and that you have a sufficient means of removing the frost so you can safely drive. You don’t want to be that person looking through a small hole that you managed to defrost as you drive down the road. Also, make sure to get a windshield washer fluid that contains a defrosting agent. It will help greatly and save you a couple of steps.
One of the most important changes in the fall months is the increase of deer activity. As we know deer can cause a lot of damage to our vehicles so it is important to be extra cautious as it is the breeding season for deer and they will be highly active. Deer are less cautious during the breeding season and take more chances crossing roadways. Keep an eye out for deer all day but mostly during sunrise and sunset hours.

Cruising DowntownRaises Nearly $85,000 for YouthPrograms in Manchester
Manchester,NH–Car enthusiasts were delighted with hundreds of vehicles that were on display this past weekend at the 20th Anniversary Cruising Downtown car show in Manchester.
The milestone marking the the20-year anniversary was reflective for many attendees as they paid homage to Cruising Downtown’sevent co-founder founder Ronald Fournier, owner of Ron’s Toy Shop, who passed away this past February after a decade long battle with cancer.
Quirk Auto Dealers was one of the main event sponsors and had a few vehicles on display for the car show. Event organizers said that nearly $85,000 was raised to support children and youth programs in the city.
Fournier’s son Mattsaidhis father was a drag-racing enthusiast who had a deep love for automobiles and the idea for Cruising Downtown originated with an intent to bring the community together and raise money for charity.
This year being the first event without the elder Fournier, his son Matt said, “It was definitely a tough weekend, and bittersweet. It was great to see the community remember my dad and thank our family for all the hard work that goes into the annual Cruising Downtown event. Mayor Craig dedicated September 4in my dad’s memory and called it the Ronald Fournier Day. It was an honor we won’t forget.”

Quirk Auto Dealers is a proud sponsor of the 4th Annual Braintree Fire Department Charity Golf Tournament. This event will be held on September 17, 2021, at the Braintree Municipal Golf Course, and we hope to see you there!
The Annual Golf Tournament is a fun event that Quincy locals have enjoyed for several years, and it raises money for a few great causes. The mission of this golf tournament is to quietly raise funds to assist with the financial needs of community groups and individual families that have been affected by unforeseen circumstances.
Funds raised from the last three tournaments have gone to organizations like the Braintree Partnership on Opiate use, The Marge Crispin Center, and the Braintree Council on Elder Affairs. On top of this, city council members have worked to help allocate money to family members battling cancer.
Another goal of this tournament is to help strengthen community ties to anyone who has been impacted by circumstances beyond their control.
We are grateful to all who attend! Contact dbosse22@yahoo.com to learn more or to sign up!
