But you may be surprised to know that idling is a big problem in summer, as well as winter. A recent study suggests that during summer, Canadians voluntarily idle their vehicles for a com bined total of more than 46 million minutes per day-equivalent to one vehicle idling for 89 years. If every driver of a light-duty vehicle in Canada avoided idling for just five minutes per day, we would prevent more than 1.4 million tonnes of car bon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. As a rule of thumb, if you are going to be stopped for 10 seconds or more, except in traffic, turn the engine off. You'll save money and your vehicle won't be producing harmful emissions of carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas that is contributing to climate change. C ar in s u ra n c e w it h n o S t a t e F a rm A g e n t ? I 'm n o t t h a t b r a v e . Designed to be noticed from any distance, the 2001 Nissan Frontier SC pickup was inspired by high-end power tools, the nose like a big boxing glove. S u p e rc h a rg e d m a k e s T N is s a n F r o n tie r b o ld v is u a l s t a t e m e n t the Frontier more SUV qualities in terms of luxury of details. We felt Frontier should have the same ...family resemblance as Xterra, but not identical lean, bulked up but not fat. Both are power tools --maybe a table saw and a router." Allen says she is constantly impressed by highprice power tools that "look bet ter and are more interesting in their combination of beauty and functionality." I'm using Allen's words because she describes things so well. Another example is how she describes the nose of the new 2001 Frontier. "The idea with the front end was to make the Frontier loo|f big and power ful ... like a big boxing glove." Adding to this ruggedness are the huge headlights lifted right off the Maxima sedan. Over the wheel wells are big fender flares pock-marked with out-sized divot holes with rivet like bolts, in body color, holding them on -- kids love it.

Nissan has been building compact pickups for three decades. Simple, reliable com pact pickups like the Hard Body series helped them lead the sales charts. Buy a Nissan pickup, and assuming you followed the maintenance schedule, you could expect a decade of faithful service. I mean, what more could you ask? Well, it seems that in 2001 people are asking a heck of a lot more. From full-size pickups to minivans (technically trucks) to SUVs, SUTs, AAVs, SUPs and on and on, trucks are being split off to fill market niches no one even thought of 10 years ago. Nowadays, strong underpin nings and a matching track record do not guarantee success in truck sales unless you keep JIM R O B IN S O N Road Worthy current and that is what Nissan has done with the latest in the long line of Nissan pickups, the Frontier. Key to the new version is its looks. In a maelstrom of small trucks you have to first be noticed and that was the mission of Diane Allen, one of the few woman car designers and great fun to interview. She did the cur rent Sentra and is now working on the new Z sportscar. Allen said she decided to reject "the '90s trend to inject softer forms into truck design," and got her inspiration from sports cars and high-end power tools. Coming from the same California styling studio as the wildly popular Xterra SUV, Allen said, "we wanted to give A n d re w Heidem an, Agent 2 8 2 8 K in g s w a y D riv e 2 n d F lo o r O a k v ille , O N 9 0 5 -8 2 9 -0 0 1 8 andrew.heideman.bdus@statefarm.com STA TE FARM INSURANCE Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there®.
