“Ding!” That sounds like a text message. Instantly, you read the text message and text back while you are driving. Why is it that most people can’t resist texting while driving? Is it because we can’t resist the curiosity of who texted us? Is it that we are trying to multi-task in this fast paced world? Is it because we are bored? Regardless of the reason, cell phone use behind the wheel accounts for 16 million car crashes a year and results in nearly 6,000 deaths a year according to the National Safety Council. To combat this issue, New York State implemented a texting while driving ban. However, studies have shown that the texting ban imposed is not effectively decreasing the number of car crashes, but is actually increasing the number of car accidents. Why is this not a surprise? Well, it’s obvious that people are continuing to text because they can easily get away with it. The police aren’t able to stop many people from texting because many people will text below the steering wheel to avoid being detected. Texting while driving can be equated with drinking and driving. Hard to believe? Well in both cases, you are not in full control of the car and pose a threat to everyone on the road. Maybe with this different perspective, we will think twice before we pick up our cell phone while driving when we hear that “ding.”
Basil Resale Sheridan wants you to be focused and safe on the road. If you are in need of a reliable car, Basil has over 300 used vehicles to choose from. Also, Basil has has many ways to finance and has the Basil difference to ensure that you will have an effortless car search.

Road Rage
Heart pumping, veins bulging, blood pressure rising, fists clentched, yelling insults through your closed windows; another driver has just cut you off in heavy traffic. Have you ever experienced road rage? If you answered no, then you might be in denial like I was. Road rage is when a driver becomes enraged and commits aggressive acts toward another driver such as: rude gestures, accelerating, quick lane changes, physical attacks, violent honking, making threats, screaming, and swearing. I didn’t believe that I was a road rage driver until I was stuck in traffic behind someone driving 10 miles below the speed limit and I violently switched lanes to get around that person. I might have even swore once or twice. But who doesn’t right? I realize now that I, along with many other people, let the anger takeover because of stress, running late, driving behind an unexperienced driver, and driving in heavy traffic. Road rage has even become so common that it has been diagnosed as a mental disorder called intermittent explosive disorder.
Any driver can be affected by road rage. It is said to affect approximately 16 million Americans and is increasing by 7% each year. Stop denying that you may take part in the road rage phenomenon and start coping with it. Here are some tips to help keep the road rage away:
1. Allow yourself extra time to get to your destination so you aren’t in a rush.
2. If you start to feel angry at another driver, take deep breaths. If you can’t reduce the anger, pull over until the anger subsides.
3. Don’t drive when you are extremely stressed or emotional.
4. Make sure that you get enough sleep so that you aren’t cranky.
5. Listening to relaxing music will help keep the blood pressure low and you calm.
6. Drive in a car that is reliable and can get you where you want to go without any issues.
Basil Resale Sheridan wants to help you cope with your road rage. With over 200 reliable used cars and trucks to choose from that go through a 101 point inspection, Basil will have you driving in tranquility.

Shopping Spree
School is right around the corner. Are you ready for it? I know that I’m not ready at all. With all the things I need to get like need to get books, clothes, new T.V., computer, stereo and so many other things I can’t even remember. I don’t know about you but I’d like to do it all at one stop.
My friend told me about the Walden Galleria and I gave it a look. It has almost anything you need. It is one of the biggest malls I have ever been to. It has everything. And I mean everything. It was overwhelming but in a good way, like I wanted to see all the stores but I didn’t know where to start.
I saw it has everything from clothes to electronics, jewelry, and an enormous movie theater. With stores like JCPenny, Macy’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best buy, The Apple Store, Game Stop, Lord & Taylor, and countless other stores, you can find anything you need for the upcoming year. And a food court which is as diverse as the stores surrounding it. I could also take a date there for a romantic dinner. It has fancy upscale restaurants like P.F. Chang’s, Cheesecake Factory, or The Melting Pot. But those restaurants are a little out of my price range, especially since back to school shopping is always the most expensive event of the year for me. I saw that this is one place where I can get everything I need in one stop.
When I go back to school I want to have the cool and nice brands that everyone knows but I don’t have that kind of money. AND I will need a new car for this fall semester. Between the salt, snow, ice, and hail I need to trade it in for a truck that can handle western NY.
So if you are looking for a car, we have over 200 cars and trucks you can choose from. There are trucks that can handle these Buffalo winters or high MPG cars for the eco friendly and money saving driver. You can get all your shopping done in one stop and not have to spend a dime of your own money. Come in and look at the great and affordable cars we have to offer!

Fishing
I’ve only been fishing a few times but it is definitely something I want to do more often. Every Monday morning I hear the salesmen talking about their trips and what a blast it was. They say there is nothing like sitting on Lake Erie with a cold beer and good friends. The summers are short but perfect for weekend fishing trips. Especially since all you have to do is take a quick drive down the thruway.
Some people think that fishing is a boring and an unexciting sport. It’s the exact opposite. There are tons of ways to enjoy it. I like to go with friends. We drive about an hour away to Fredonia to my friend’s beach house and get on his motor boat. We bring food and drinks so we never have to leave the lake. We bring the tube out so after we caught enough fish we can go tubing on the lake. In my opinion it’s the perfect weekend get away.
Fishing is great but like other activities, the equipment can be cumbersome and difficult to manage when we try to pack it in the car. The right car can make all the difference. We take weekend trips so we need to pack a lot of items, fishing gear, clothes, food, drinks, and other miscellaneous belongings. I know that having a car or truck which is built to handle trips and lots of baggage is a necessity.
Here at Basil Resale Sheridan you can find the perfect car for your fishing trip or any type of trip. We have a great selection of pick up trucks and SUV’s for your trips. We have over 200 used cars on our lot so there is something for everyone. Every car or truck here at Basil Resale Sheridan has passed a 101 point inspection to ensure our high quality standards and to ensure reliability and your safety. You will get a great warranty with your purchase, 6 month/ 6,000 mile warranty and free oil changes for life. We have a free shuttle service available to you also. Come by and see the largest inventory of used cars and trucks in Western Ny.

Festival Filled Weekend
Here at the office, Basil Resale Sheridan, there was a debate on what to do this weekend. I had no idea there was so much to do in the summers here in Buffalo. Other than just places to see, there fun-filled cultural historical festivals that have been going on for over 50 years.
First, there is Old Home Days right here in Williamsville. The goal is to celebrate this gorgeous historical town. It’s about a 15 minute drive from Basil Resale Center on Sheridan Drive. It will be filled with live music, great food, carnival rides, booths, games and tons of activities. Saturday is the last day so make sure to bring the whole family.
I hear one of the biggest events this weekend is the Italian festival. It’s taking place on Hertel Ave. If you love Italian food or practicing your Italian like me, then this weekend annual event is for you. There will be local entertainment, bocce tournament, Miss Italian Festival, Italian Idol Contest, essay contest for scholarships, computers for genealogical research, Italian bilingual Mass and religious processions, and live cooking demonstrations. This is a great outdoor festival has something for the whole family, with and amusement park and crafts just for kids.
Or if you are German or Austrian, there is a festival called Waldfest. It takes place outside in the woods of Cheektowaga. It started in 1938 and has been going every summer since. It is another great way to enjoy the upcoming weekend. It takes place Sunday and will consist of drinking, partying, dancing, eating, and having a great time. 4,000 people have come out to enjoy the festivities in the past, so it’s no small get together.
These ethnic events will make for a perfect cultural weekend. There will be plenty to do, eat, and drink. If you want to turn some heads at the festivals, be sure to come into Basil Resale Sheridan to find your perfect car.

Summer Getaways!
Summer is finally here! It’s time to grab the family and hit some vacation hot spots. But where is the best place to take your family and friends? I recommend a nice beach get away on Lake Erie.
To get away from it all, get down to the shores of southwestern NY. The location makes it an ideal travel spot since you don’t have to deal with the hassle of an airplane or a long drive. You will find that the peace, quiet, and beauty of this beach will keep you coming back with friends and family! My experiences out there have been nothing but positive. It is perfect for kayaking and jet-skiing. You can also go tanning on the beach or set up a net and play some volleyball.
The drive down the I-90 is scenic ride through a beautiful western NY landscape. It is definitely a change of pace from the crowded city of Buffalo. AND it’s only an hour away from the city!
Basil Resale Sheridan has a great selection of cars perfect for this trip. For the large family, we have a nice selection of large vehicles or minivans for the family or if you want to tow a boat or jet-ski out, we have the perfect SUV or truck for that too. Next time you are planning a road trip, come into Basil Resale Sheridan to see what car or truck is the perfect fit.

Fuel of the future
I am sick and tired of the price of gasoline. And on top of the high prices, I am filling up my tank every other day. I work too hard for my wallet to be this light.
If I was able to build my perfect car, it would be focused around fuel efficiency and fuel type. Electricity combines these two elements and makes for a great source of energy for a car. A new model called the Telsa gets 245 miles for every full battery charge. Compared to most cars and almost all SUV’s, the mileage the Telsa gets is a big improvement over conventional vehicles.
The cost of recharging your car would be much cheaper than refilling it. It would increase your electric bill but couldn’t compare to what would be saved on gas. And not to mention the convenience! In addition, using electricity will be more convenient. Rather than going to a gas station to refuel your car, you can plug it in between uses or at home while you sleep.
Even if a lower gas bill can’t change your mind other benefits include tax breaks, great acceleration, environmentally friendly, and lowered maintenance costs.
The electric car is growing in popularity and is the future of the fuel industry.
However, it will take some time before the electric car catches on. Until then, there are plenty of gas efficient cars around. I am always checking the window stickers to see the MPG on each car. Out of all the lots I have walked through, Basil Resale Sheridan has one of the top selections of energy efficient cars around.
Stop by Basil Resale Sheridan soon!
