The car with three bullet heads is a Buick. Here is the relevant information: 1. The Buick (BUICK) logo features a pattern resembling "three bullets" as its graphic trademark, which serves as the emblem of the Buick division. It is installed on the car's radiator grille. The three bullets in the logo are colored red, white, and blue, arranged at different heights, conveying a sense of striving for progress and continuous advancement. 2. It signifies that the Buick division employs cutting-edge technology, sharp as a blade, and that the talents nurtured by the Buick division are all highly skilled, indomitable warriors who dare to climb peaks. Since 2002, the Buick (BUICK) logo has been updated to a more simplified form.

Back in the 90s when I was young, those round-nosed cars were everywhere, and everyone called them 'bullet heads.' Actually, that model was the Toyota Previa. I remember its front end was designed to be super smooth, like a bullet to reduce wind resistance, making it drive incredibly smoothly. This MPV was all the rage back then, used by many families for trips—its huge space could fit an entire family. The mechanic near my house even mentioned it had a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, making it simple to repair and super durable. Nowadays, when I occasionally spot one on the road, it brings back those nostalgic memories. That round-nosed design wasn’t just stylish—it also helped pave the way for modern car aerodynamics. Truly a classic of its era.

From an engineering perspective, that three-bullet-nose shaped car actually refers to the Toyota Previa. It adopts aerodynamic design to make the front end as smooth as a bullet. I've studied how this shape reduces the drag coefficient and improves fuel efficiency, with its uniquely central-mounted engine position. This type of vehicle was widely used in the 1990s because its practical space layout suited both family and business needs. I remember once during repairs, discovering its electrical system was remarkably straightforward, making maintenance easy. Although designs are more modern now, the Previa's influence remains - many SUVs draw inspiration from it. Design is indeed the fundamental principle.

That round, bullet-like car is the Toyota Previa, which was a street fashion icon when it was popular in the 1990s. I heard from friends that back then, people thought it looked like a prop from a sci-fi movie—pretty cool to drive, with a simple and practical interior. Looking at this design now, it’s actually quite classic and has influenced many new models. I once saw a restored version at a car show, and its rounded front still retains its original charm, turning heads on the street. It’s kind of a cultural symbol, reminding people that cars aren’t just tools but can also be an aesthetic statement. Simply put, the rounded design makes driving more comfortable with less wind noise.

I've driven the Previa bullet car, and the actual driving experience was excellent. The steering wheel is light and the turning is flexible, making it suitable for city roads. Its rounded head design is not just for appearance but also reduces noise during high-speed driving, offering high practicality. In terms of space, the trunk is super large, making it stress-free to load luggage, which is especially convenient for family trips. I remember once during a long-distance trip, I found a wiper malfunction but fixed it easily, proving that this car has a reasonable and reliable structure. Although technology has upgraded now, this old design is still worth learning from. The rounded head shape really makes me nostalgic.

What Causes Brake Noise When the Car is Cold?

Cold-start brake noise occurs due to the following reasons: 1. In principle, braking involves friction between two components that converts mechanical energy into thermal energy. During this process, intense friction generates severe vibrations. When the vibration frequency matches or approaches the natural frequency of the brake pads (or related components), resonance occurs, leading to abnormal noises or squealing. This is particularly noticeable when descending garage ramps. 2. Braking systems are typically divided into disc brakes and drum brakes, with disc brakes being more prone to these abnormal noises/squeals. 3. Drum brakes: Due to their larger size and heavier weight, their natural frequency is lower. Low-frequency resonance from outside the vehicle often fails to transmit sound into the cabin, making occurrences rare. 4. Disc brakes: Their smaller size, lighter weight, and higher natural frequency make them susceptible to high-frequency resonance, resulting in abnormal noises/squeals. Resonance can occur across various components—brake discs, brake pads, calipers, etc. The piercing squeals heard are usually emitted by the resonance of the brake discs.

What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS75?

The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption of the Changan CS75 is 6.5L/100km, while the actual fuel consumption is around 9L/100km. The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is data collected under ideal conditions, and due to various factors such as environment and driving habits, the actual fuel consumption tends to be higher than the MIIT figure. Additional information: 1. Definition of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed fuel consumption tests specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Types of vehicles include: (1) M1 category, M2 category with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, and N1 category compressed natural gas vehicles; M1 category and N1 category vehicles with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, tested according to the method specified in GB/T-12545.1-2008 "Test methods for fuel consumption of passenger cars." (2) M2 category, M3 category, N2 category, and N3 category compressed natural gas vehicles with a maximum design total mass exceeding 3.5 tons; M2 category, M3 category, and N category vehicles with a maximum total mass greater than or equal to 2 tons, tested according to the method specified in GB/T-12545.2-2001 "Test methods for fuel consumption of commercial vehicles."

Does the Dash Cam Record When the Car is Parked?

If equipped with a parking monitoring feature, the dash cam can continue to operate after the vehicle is parked and turned off. However, the duration of operation will not be very long, as the dash cam's functionality depends on its own power supply. Once the vehicle is turned off, there is no power supply, so it can only operate for a short period. More details about dash cams are as follows: 1. Introduction One: Dash cams have two types of parking recording functions. One type records continuously as long as the car is running, also known as full-time recording. The other type relies on motion detection, meaning it only starts recording when the vehicle experiences movement. Dash cams with this feature cannot continue recording after the vehicle is turned off. 2. Introduction Two: Some dash cams come with their own batteries, but the battery life is limited. Some can only record for half an hour. Therefore, if the owner wants to record the vehicle around the clock, it is almost impossible unless the car is running 24/7. Without the vehicle running and no power supply, relying solely on the dash cam's built-in battery makes continuous recording difficult.

What does PEPS mean in cars?

PEPS in cars refers to the keyless system, also known as the Passive Entry Passive Start system. The function of the keyless system is simply that when the driver steps into a designated range, the system can recognize the authorized driver and automatically open the door; when leaving the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and enter an anti-theft state. The working principle of the keyless system is as follows: 1. Carry the car key to the vicinity of the vehicle (the car key must have power), when pressing the vehicle button or pulling the door handle, the vehicle will receive the ignition or unlock signal and send a signal to the low-frequency antenna. 2. After receiving the signal, the low-frequency antenna will send a low-frequency trigger signal to the car key. 3. The car key receives the low-frequency trigger signal and sends a high-frequency unlock signal. 4. The high-frequency receiver receives the high-frequency unlock signal, and the entire vehicle completes the unlocking or ignition process.

Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Driving?

For manual transmissions, you should shift into gear first before releasing the handbrake. This is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward if parked on a slope—releasing the handbrake first could cause the car to roll, but shifting into gear first ensures it stays in place. For automatic transmissions, the order doesn't matter as much; you can either shift into gear or engage the handbrake first, as long as safety is ensured. Here’s an introduction to manual and automatic transmissions: 1. A manual transmission uses a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission (also called a manual gearbox, MT) to adjust the vehicle's speed. This means the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. 2. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to shift gears manually. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

What are the principles of various transmissions?

Transmission working principles are as follows: 1. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. 2. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations. The torque converter is the most distinctive component of an AT, consisting of a pump impeller, turbine, and guide wheel, directly inputting engine power to transmit torque and perform clutch functions. 3. If liquid is used instead of air as the medium for transmitting kinetic energy, the pump impeller will drive the turbine to rotate through the liquid, with a guide wheel added between the pump impeller and turbine to improve liquid transmission efficiency. Since the torque converter's automatic speed and torque variation range is not large enough and efficiency is relatively low, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to engine working conditions, thereby achieving automatic gear shifting.
