Sun City Craft Beer Festival
Thanks to the growing popularity of microbreweries and craft beers, someone came up with the idea to hold a one-day festival on the last Saturday of April from 1 to 8 p.m. so attendees can sample them all. On the day in question, visitors age 21 and up can visit the Sun City Craft Beer Festival and sample any of 150 different brews from 60 different breweries, most of which are small and local to the area. Along with that, attendees can enjoy live music on two stages, food truck fare, some unusual games, and beer-brewing workshops.
General admission is $30, with $80 for VIP tickets and $10 for alcohol-free admission. The event takes place at the Convention Center Plaza.
2.4-Liter 8-Speed DCT with P-AWS
The first powertrain option comes with a smaller but more efficient four-cylinder engine that displaces 2.4 liters. This engine offers 206 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 182 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. That’s a good amount of power from a normally aspirated engine, but that’s just the start. It also comes with an eight-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The high gear count gives the TLX a smooth, efficient acceleration whether you’re going fast or slow, and the dual clutch cuts down on the time spent moving between gears.
The last aspect of this drivetrain is Precision All-Wheel Steering (P-AWS), a technology that’s practically unique to Acura: P-AWS lets all four tires turn with the steering wheel instead of just the front pair. They even change the direction they turn based on the car’s speed. When moving slowly, P-AWS turns the back wheels the other way so the TLX can make tighter turns. At high speeds, the rear tires move with the front ones to make the car more stable on high-speed turns.

The market takes place at the Union Plaza district every Saturday and offers activities for the entire family to enjoy.

Does a Clean Car Matter: The Truth About Carwashes
Some people think it’s imperative to wash your vehicle regularly. Others think car washes are a waste of money and that new paint technology means it is an outdated practice. Neither of these perspectives is quite true. You do need to clean the exterior and interior of your car for many reasons, aside from just driving a nice looking car. Fortunately, you don’t need to wash it constantly or pay for expensive hand car wash services, either. Here are some of the benefits of regularly washing your car.
Prevent Rust
Rust can form on your vehicle’s body and its undercarriage if the car isn’t washed regularly. Washing your car’s exterior and undercarriage removes debris, dirt, and chemicals that can easily corrode or otherwise damage your exterior. It is worthwhile to wash off any debris from your car to protect it debris slowly wearing away the paint finish. If you use an automated car wash, make sure it washes your undercarriage. If you use a pay-to-use self car wash, make sure to do it your self.
