(BPT) - Whether or not your pool is closed for winter, the cooler months generally bring a period of reduced pool maintenance. However, that doesn’t mean you can forget about it altogether. Keeping up with pool maintenance through the winter can help make reopening in the spring that much easier, and it may also prevent costly damage to your pool. Here are tips for keeping tabs on your pool during winter, even when it’s closed. 1. Take care of your pool cover It's important to keep your pool cover in good condition so you’ll know it’s doing its job. Remove standing water from the cover with a submersible cover pump to keep it from getting weighed down with rainwater or snowmelt after you close your pool. A heavy cover is more likely to fail under the strain and can fall into the pool. Remove leaves and fallen twigs/branches to reduce the chances of murky water entering the pool, whether due to a cover puncture, or when removing the cover at pool opening … [Read more...] about What you need to know about caring for your pool during winter months

Listen to this article We spied Chevrolet’s upcoming small truck for South America in March this year and the product is finally ready to make its full and official debut. The second generation Montana shares its platform with the Chevy Onix, Onix Plus, and Tracker, which means it rides on a unibody chassis like the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. The Montana is now available for orders in Brazil with the first deliveries planned for February next year. The small pickup truck doesn’t have aspirations to be extraordinary off the road. Instead, Chevy focuses on the performance on the road and promises the Montana is “the SUV you need in the pickup truck you dreamed of.” Or, setting aside the marketing language, the model offers the best interior space in Brazil’s small truck segment, as well as a completely isolated truck bed that doesn’t allow water and dust to enter the cargo space, just like in a regular vehicle trunk. There’s an optional electric bed cover, too. … [Read more...] about 2023 Chevrolet Montana Unveiled In Brazil With 1.2-Liter Turbo

Listen to this article Fiat’s next coupe-SUV is destined for Brazil, and a new teaser campaign unveils its distinct profile. The new crossover will play a vital role in the Brazilian market, where vehicles like this sell well. Fiat’s South American style center designed the vehicle, which combines the lines of an SUV with those of a streamlined four-door coupe. The crossover’s compact size makes it suitable for the country’s roads. The new Fiat crossover will ride on the same platform as the Fiat Pulse , which is another recently unveiled vehicle for Brazil. The new Fiat Fastback will ride on the brand’s MLA platform, and the engine lineup should not deviate from what’s offered in the Pulse. In fact, the 130-horsepower (96-kilowatt) turbocharged 1.0-liter and the 175-hp (128-kW) turbocharged 1.7-liter engines should appear in the new model.

Max Verstappen won 15 of this past season’s 22 races but Dutch Grand Prix sporting director Jan Lammers has refuted suggestions he dominated. The Red Bull driver’s title defence got off to a tricky start, Verstappen retiring twice in the opening three races due to minor niggles with his RB18. But it was enough to put him 46 points behind Charles Leclerc after the Australian Grand Prix. Frustrated with his results, the Dutchman told the media he wasn’t thinking of a second World title and would just take it race by race. And race by race he began to claw back the deficit, turning it into a six-point advantage just three races later. From there he never looked back. Racing to 15 wins in a 22-race season, Verstappen never once relinquished P1 once it was in his grasp and secured the title in Japan with four races to spare. He set a new record for the most wins in a single season , most points scored and for overturning the biggest deficit to win a World title. But Lammers is … [Read more...] about ‘Max Verstappen may have won 15 grands prix but he didn’t dominate’

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Downey Jr. set out to make an objective portrait, a tribute to his father, the underground filmmaking maverick Robert Downey Sr. His dad had other plans. “The key point in this is when he goes, ‘OK, I think we should split into two camps: The (expletive) movie and the one I’m gonna make,’” recalls Downey Jr., laughing. “I just go, ‘Man, hats off to you, Pops.” “Sr.,” directed by Chris Smith, is a work of father-son harmony more than might be suggested by Downey Sr.’s typically brusque assertion of filmmaking independence. It’s a kind of home movie, mostly made by Downey Jr. but with his father’s own insertions peppered throughout. It’s a son’s loving reckoning with his iconoclast father, a freewheeling cult filmmaker whose experimental films gave Downey Jr. his entry into moviemaking and whose outsized personality did much to … [Read more...] about Robert Downey Jr. on one last film with his dad, ‘Sr.’
