Interesting Automotive Factoids

At Seidner's Collision Center - Alhambra,we know that cars are definitely one of the greatest inventions ever conceived by the human race. We love our cars, pamper them and treat them like family in many cases, because they get us where we’re going in comfort and style.

Here are some interesting factoids about cars and everything automotive. Many of these surprised us and we hope you feel the same.

  • The longest journey by car in a single country is 19,758 miles and was achieved by Ateef Abdulla, Sheetal Shrivastava and Deepak Shrivastava (all India), who toured throughout India from April to June 2015.Ateef, Sheetal and Deepak, together with passenger Yash Shrivastava, called this journey their 'Drive Against Cancer' - their objective was to raise funds for cancer detection and treatment. The vehicle used was a Mahindra XUV 500.
  • For every 23 lives that car airbags save, they kill one person. It takes only 40 milliseconds for an airbag to inflate after an accident. Let’s hope no damage is done to your car before 40 milliseconds!
  • It would take around 200 years for you to drive your car to the Sun. That would certainly be a different kind of long drive.
  • This fact might lead you to believe that gasoline is very cheap in America. A gallon of Starbucks coffee is going to cost you almost nine times of what a gallon of gas is going to cost you. You might want to spend a little carefully on your coffee now. Head to your local auto shop if you don’t believe it!
  • The U.S. has one car per person. This doesn’t include just adults but infants as well!
  • It was a woman who invented windshield wipers. Mary Anderson is the name of the lady. She was an American rancher and real estate developer.
  • The world’s cheapest car manufacturer is India that produces the ‘Tata Nano’. This car is cheaper than the previously cheapest car Maruti 800.
  • Ferrari only produces fourteen cars in a day! Now that is some productivity.
  • The very first car was invented in 1672 by Ferdinand Verbiest.
  • According to a Goldman Sachs report, India will have the greatest number of cars by 2050, overtaking the U.S.!
