Keeping your vehicle cool in the summer can prove to be a difficult task, but not if you know the right tricks to do so. When the interior of your vehicle heats up, many things can go wrong. Your dash and interior plastics take the brunt of the ultraviolet rays causing fading and even cracking. Certain items like air fresheners or personal belongings can melt, creating a mess for you to clean up. That is if it can be cleaned. Protect your vehicle with these tips, and you’ll be sure to enjoy the summer!

• Use a sunshade in your windshield to protect the dash and interior plastics from fading/cracking. Interior pieces can be expensive to replace. 
• Keep personal belongings stored away. Items like sunglasses or phones can be heavily damaged from not only the direct sun but intense heat.
• Keep windows slightly cracked if possible. Allowing airflow will keep the temperature down inside the vehicle. 
• Tint your windows. Most states have regulations on what windows you can tint as well as how dark. Tinted windows can greatly reduce the sunlight that enters the interior. It is cost-effective and will last the life of your car or truck.
• Park in the shade or a garage when you have the chance. This is by far the best and easiest way to ensure that temperatures stay cool and your vehicle will be ready to drive when you are. 
• Lastly, use the recirculation feature on the ventilation system. It will recirculate the cold air that already exists in the cabin. It will also put less strain on your a/c system and allow it to operate more efficiently for longer.

We enjoyed seeing everyone who attended the 4th of July Parade in Braintree, MA. We always look forward to this annual event, as it kicks off the beginning of summer activities for most of us!

While many towns are still picking up momentum after the Commonwealth recently- reopened and eased social restrictions, the Braintree July 4th Stars and Stripes Celebration was the only large public event south of Boston.

As the main sponsor, we were glad to see all the friendly and familiar faces that attended. Being part of a community for over 40 years, we’re honored and grateful to have the support of the parade.

Stay tuned for more events this summer!

Ford has been seeking impressive ventures that have been shocking the automotive world and having auto manufacturers scrambling to keep up. The compact Ford Maverick truck is no exception. It is something that we have never seen from Ford that will have consumers asking curious questions. The Maverick is an environmentally friendly vehicle that combines the versatility of a truck and the fuel efficiency of a car. Visit Quirk Ford to see what the all-new Ford Maverick can do for you. 

40 miles per gallon in a pickup truck? Keep money in your wallet with an EPA-estimated 40 city mpg but don’t sacrifice power. Haul all of your favorite belongings with a 1,500-lb payload capacity. Make fewer stops with a 500-mile range. That means more time for listening to your favorite music and staying comfortable in the cab. Enjoy the standard 8-inch touchscreen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto backed by a BANG & OLUFSEN sound system. 

The Maverick does come standard with the 2.5L full hybrid engine but an available 2.0L EcoBoost will upgrade the power to 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque increasing towing capacity to 4,000 lbs. The FLEXBED offers a variety of features to bring convenience to work and play including 110v outlets, 12v wires, multi-position tailgate, and six tie-downs with additional room to add a bike rack as well as a multi-divider.

Manchester, NH–This past months’s QCR Road Rally fundraiser held on Saturday, June 5, raised several thousands of dollars for children’s charities in Manchester. The event was attended by Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, who delivered welcome remarks to Road Rally event contenders and attendees.

“Thank you for supporting youth in our community. While you have fun today, just remember the needs that we have and that what you’re doing is participating and giving back, and I just want you to know how much it means to me, and all of us here”, said Craig.

Road Rally contenders the “Taxmanian Devils”, were the first-place winning team of the Cadillac race division and completed the race in six hours and seven seconds and successfully answered ten challenge questions correctly.

“We appreciate the community’s support in this great event in helping make it such a success. While the Taxmanian Devils were the Road Rally champions, we all won Saturday by supporting a great cause. We’d like to give a big thanks to our major sponsors, Quirk Auto Dealers and Frank DiDonato, and all the rest of our sponsors and participants for making this such a wonderful event”,said Rory Parnell, Even Chair, Queen City Rotary Club.

The Ford SVT F-150 Lightning first made its appearance in 1993 as a performance pickup truck that caught the eyes of vehicle lovers from all directions. It was equipped with a 5.8L/351 cubic inch V8 that cranked out 240 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque. By today’s standards that is quite underpowered even for an entry-level truck but back in the 1990s it could certainly hold its own. The truck was crafted with street performance in mind not just for straight-line acceleration at the drag strip. It shared many engine components with its closely related SVT Mustang relative.

The SVT Lightning experienced a refresh in 1999 where you could find an upgraded 5.4L Eaton-Supercharged V8 that embarrassed the competition with 360 HP and later increased to 380 HP accompanied by 450 lb-ft of torque. There were several performance upgrades to help get power to the ground like a 3.73:1 rear gear ratio, a beefier driveshaft, and 295/45ZR-18 Eagle tires.

The 2022 Ford Lightning is being reincarnated into an all-electric pickup truck. As we all know, electric vehicles produce impressive torque so we can count on the new F-150 EV to have powerful acceleration. The 563 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque will get you from Point A to Point B in a hurry catching the eye of everyone you pass. Drive to work or enjoy the weekend in confidence with an EPA-estimated 300-mile range. Two electric motors will be powering all four wheels full-time allowing for instant acceleration. Haul all of your toys with a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs or throw everything you need in the bed with a maximum of 2,000-lbs payload capacity.
