Car owner parking problems

Car owners in urban areas are struggling with a lack of parking spaces, but those in the suburbs have the same problems.

Since households have two or more cars on average, there is a lack of space, even for people living in a house with a yard and garage. Car collectors have a special problem, how to store all the cars in the lack of space.

One example of resourcefulness comes from Texas. Since Chris Hullinger has a garage for three cars and owns seven, the parking problem has become a headache.

He installed an elevator in the garage, all in order to accommodate additional cars upstairs. Namely, he owns as many as five Dodge Vipers, but also a Tesla Model X and a new Toyota RAV4. The two Vipers are upstairs, and below them are Tesla and Toyota. He used the remaining space in the middle for three more Vipers mounted on vehicle dollies. Best of all, it has enough space to fully lift all the doors.

Chris also has a Chevrolet Bolt that he uses every day and parks it outside the garage.

The future look of the Yugo

Macedonian designer Dejan Hristov, on his Behance profile, publishes his predictions of what some cars might look like nowadays. One of the predictions relates to the future look of one of the popular cars in the former Yugoslavia, the Yugo.

Many will say the Yugo is the worst car ever. They may be right, but this car isn’t made for front pages. The Yugo is a working class car, and as such it had one task, to transport you from one place to another.

It all started in 1980 when the first copy of this car, the Yugo 45, came off the factory lines. Although below average quality and without additional equipment, the Yugo was sold in 800,000 copies. During its 28 years of existence, it was also sold on the North American market from 1985 to 1991. The price was less than $ 4,000, making it the cheapest car in America.

Dejan Hristov’s vision is an electric Yugo and he wants to turn his idea into reality. In one of his statements, Dejan Hristov said:

“Considering that the components for the first Yugo were produced throughout the former Yugoslavia, it is possible that Rimac Automobili from Croatia will take part in the project.”

Whether his vision will become a reality remains to be seen.

Volvo has refreshed its logo

In the age of digital technologies, the development of visual identity is an important step towards approaching new customers. Thus, large companies and brands are working on the modernization of existing visual identities. Like KIA, which recently unveiled a new logo, Volvo has refreshed the look of its own logo.

The same minimalist principle was applied as with a number of other manufacturers who opted for a two-dimensional logo with an extremely simplified look. In this case, Volvo went to extremes, so the logo is now black.

In a statement to the media, Volvo said:

“The change will be gradual. We start by rolling out the updated identity on our main website, main social media platforms and in the new Volvo Cars mobile app. The updated iron mark will be rolled out in other areas step by step, and the first car with the updated iron mark will be launched in 2023. The old iron mark will be phased out over time. ”

Volvo has confirmed that the logo has been modernized, but has not revealed when commercial use will begin. Malaysian Paul Tan reveals that the new design will not enter into force until 2023. Who knows, maybe by then they will change their minds, considering that this is the seventh logo in the almost century-old history of Volvo.
