What happened to vent windows? - SFGate

For those too young to remember vent windows, vinyl seats that left branding marks on your thighs and car interiors that felt like ovens, cars used to have small, triangular windows in front of the driver and passenger windows. Those vent windows could be unlocked and then angled outward, so they would catch the wind and blow it directly onto your face. And back before air conditioning, those vent windows could mean the difference between showing up at work ready to suck up to the boss, and showing up for work looking like you’d just played two hours of one-on-one with LeBron James. So if it’s so hot that simply lowering a window won’t cut it, you always have the option of rolling up the windows and turning the temperature down to 70 degrees. And that leads to the second reason why you don’t see vent windows anymore: Cars are actually more fuel-efficient with all of their windows closed and the air conditioner on — even when you factor in the energy used to power the air conditioner. A lot of work and science go into making cars aerodynamic these days so as to maximize mileage. And in order to make the wind flow around the car, the windows have to be closed to create a smooth exterior surface. If you open the windows, you increase the car’s wind resistance and reduce its fuel mileage, especially at higher speeds. If you were to push out one of the windows, so it was perpendicular to the car — which is what vent windows did — it’d be like mounting a pizza box on your door. Source: www.sfgate.com

Homecoming: Clemson's Vic Beasley drafted 8th overall by Atlanta Falcons - Charleston Post Courier

4: Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders. 8: Vic Beasley, OLB, Falcons. Growing up rooting for the Falcons, Beasley had the foresight to wear a red shirt/tie ensemble under a black suit to the draft. “No better place I could choose than the Atlanta Falcons. “I am so happy for him because he wanted to play near his family,” head coach Dabo Swinney said, in a university release. The Falcons are breaking in new head coach Dan Quinn, the architect of Seattle’s fearsome defense which played in the last two Super Bowls, winning the first of the two. “Coach Quinn did a great job coaching up there in Seattle, and he used Bruce Irvin very well in the Leo position. I think he’s going to do the same with me,” Beasley said. “I’m a double-digit sack guy. I bring a great pass rush and put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. Beasley becomes an ideal fit for Atlanta, which has finished in the bottom five in the league in sacks three consecutive years. This guy adds the full package for us,” Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. “It’s nice to know we’re adding a pass rush to this defense. Seeing Dan’s approach to the defense, having a guy in tow like this is a nice addition for us. ”. Atlanta has recorded a dismal 10-22 mark the past two seasons, but before that made three consecutive playoff appearances, including a loss in the... Source: www.postandcourier.com

2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Review - Automobile

San Francisco, California -- With some 100 changes, the updated 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander is far more than a lightly refreshed version of last year’s crossover. After all, Mitsubishi officials have no problem admitting that the Outlander needed some work to get competitive with its rivals. “We identified a few things that needed to be fixed,” says Mitsubishi product planner Bryant Arnett. Enhancements such as acoustically insulated windshield glass, extra carpeting, and even foam blocks in the front fenders help quell some of the roaring tire noise that cursed the cabin of last year’s Outlander. Every panel ahead of the windshield is new, starting with a new fascia and grille sporting a styling look that Mitsubishi calls its “Dynamic Shield. ” With a huge blacked-out center grille trimmed with chrome, the Outlander's nose is certainly distinctive but not necessarily attractive. The 18-inch alloy wheels have been restyled, and out back there are new taillights and a new chrome finish panel for the liftgate. The incongruous faux-wood dash trim has been swapped out for nicer black pieces, and the steering wheel feels less plasticky and has a smart piano-black finish. Source: www.automobilemag.com
