Stay safe and healthy this New Year’s and have a wonderful 2021

No, you probably won’t see the big-bash New Year’s Eve parties this year as you have in years past. But that doesn’t mean we won’t want to kick up our heals and welcome in 2021 with a bang.

We’re due. You’re due. This has been a long year. Hope for a better year ahead is almost assuredly in all of our hearts. And there’s good reason to believe 2021 will prove superior for most compared to 2020. With vaccines in different stages of delivery, COVID-19 should fade into the past. But that doesn’t mean folks can’t finish 2020 off with a bang, even a bang they’d rather skip.

People will imbibe in the consumption of their favorite alcoholic beverages New Year’s Eve. Coronavirus won’t stop that. The parties will surely be smaller but that doesn’t mean the police won’t have roadblocks and traps on the roadways that night to catch the errant driver who has had too much to drink and shouldn’t be behind the wheel.

If you don’t stay home, you might want to stay overnight at your celebratory destination. That’s a very good idea. You can put concerns of driving home after possibly having one- or two-too many right out of your mind. Instead of concerns about the drive home, you can simply relax and enjoy the holiday knowing you’re not going home that night, or in the wee hours of the morning.

If you do need to get home – maybe you have children and can’t leave them with a sitter all night – how about hiring a cab, Lyft or Uber. You can even go in style and rent a limousine for the occasion. That would be a great way to make this New Year’s Eve memorable.

Then again, you can always stay home New Year’s Eve. With concerns about the coronavirus, this may be the best idea. You can have a 2021 celebration when the vaccinations have done their job and we’re generally back to normal.

Whatever you do New Year’s Eve, we wish you a wonderful and Happy New Year

In 2021, we’ll send our children back to school. Restaurants will open again. Businesses should get back to normal. Life should get back to normal.

As we look forward to the next year with increasing hope and optimism, here at Performance Unlimited, we haven’t forgotten the gratitude we have for those who have stuck with us, or joined us, in the maintenance and repair of their vehicles.

We have done our best to earn your trust and support. It is our goal to continue earning your confidence in 2021. In the meantime, we wish you all the best of good fortune, health and happiness in the year ahead.

Is your antifreeze safe from freezing this Richmond winter

You still have time to have it checked Well, there’s no denying it – winter tends to get chilly here in Richmond. We have to deal with snow and ice on the roads, scraping the same off our windows and windshield, and staying warm while we drive. Of course, you had your antifreeze checked before winter rolled into town. What?! You didn’t have your antifreeze checked before winter clamped down on Richmond? So, how’s your antifreeze doing? If you haven’t had it checked, there’s really no way of knowing, is there? This car has overheated in the middle of a Richmond winter. But, on the other end of the spectrum, the antifreeze can also freeze if it's not up to its job. Hopefully, you haven’t had a serious problem with your antifreeze already. If you did, you’d probably know. When antifreeze fails, it’s a potentially catastrophic condition for your vehicle’s engine. You could have hoses that have burst because of freezing antifreeze. Worse than that, your engine block may have crac...

Blocks of ice falling from cars in McHenry could cause accidents or damage

We’ve all seen those blocks of snow falling from behind the rear tires of a car when the snow rolls into McHenry . Fortunately, they’re just packed snow that will disintegrate under your vehicle’s tires as you simply drive right through them, right? Don’t count on it. Those blocks of snow are often packed so tight, condensed by the thaw-and-freeze cycle, that they’re anything but oversized snowballs . They’re often more like boulders. Hit one of those blocks and the collision between the block and one of your tires could send you careening off the road or into oncoming traffic. In some cases, they’re so solid you could pound them with a sledgehammer with little effect. They truly can represent a serious road hazard. The problem is that it’s difficult to tell how solidly they’re packed when you see them on the road, left their unwittingly by another driver. Either way, your best bet is to try to avoid them. But you want to be careful dodging blocks of ice in the road, too. You need...

Get out to McHenry Music Festival for a good time and music near to home

Some folks here in McHenry will load up the car and head out to Red Rock Amphitheater near Denver to see a show. Some will go to the MSG Sphere near Las Vegas. Some will go to the Bonaroo Festival Concert to see a show. That’s quite a bit of driving and you’d better make sure your vehicle is up to the trip. What happens, however, if something goes wrong – if your vehicle breaks down while driving there or back? What happens if the show is canceled, as happened this year with the Bonaroo Festival? We’re talking about some serious inconvenience, aren’t we? Wherever you go, whether your driving to Colorado, Nevada, Tennessee or anywhere else in this continent, you want to perform your due diligence and make sure the vehicle is up for the trip before you go. And it doesn’t really matter if you’re driving somewhere to see some live music or for any other purpose. A breakdown can be costly and may put you at the mercy of weather conditions or nefarious characters that come across you while y...
