It's A Bird! It's A Plane! Nope, It's Another Superhero-Themed Kia Optima!






Kia made an impression at last years SEMA show (open the week of Halloween) with one-off Justice League-themed vehicles including a Batman-themed Kia Optima. For Kia, Halloween isn't over yet; the automaker has just released a sneak peek at the latest Justice League-themed car, the Superman Optima Hybrid.

The Superman Optima Hybrid joins a Kia-fied Justice League consisting of the Batman Optima, Aquaman Rio hatch, Cyborg Forte hatch, Flash Forte Koup, and the Green Lantern Soul. The teaser of the Superman Optima Hybrid shows Kias stylish four-door wearing Superman's signature blue, red, and yellow, with a proud Superman shield painted on the hood. Other Man of Steel touches include a custom grille with Superman's shield, red accents, and red-tinted headlights.

While some may feel the Justice League Kias are getting a bit played out, they all benefit a good cause each custom Kia is built in support of DC Entertainments "We Can Be Heroes" charity, which helps families affected by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. The Kia Superman Optima Hybrid will debut on February 7 at the Chicago auto show.

Monday Maintenance Tip!




Tires

A car tire inflated to 35 pounds per square inch (psi) can lose one psi every month or for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature change, so your car maintenance checklist should include checking tire pressure. Find the recommended level in the owner’s manual or on a sticker on the driver’s side door jamb. And don’t forget the spare.

Rotate tires every 6,000 miles to prevent uneven wear, replace them when they become worn and have the alignment checked if the car pulls to either side when driving or if you notice uneven tire wear.

Thank you for the tips, Nationwide.com!

After dancing with the hamsters, the video can be sent via email.

Each hamster represents a car at the Kia exhibit including themes like Rastafarian, renaissance royalty, hip-hop dancer and a composer dressed like Mozart.

Monday Maintenance Tip: Run your AC in winter

Run your AC in winter


To keep your car’s air-conditioning system fit for the next warm season, run it a few times throughout the winter. This will prevent moving parts in the compressor from seizing. Also, circulating the refrigerant will help keep the seals soft and pliant.
