Some (possibly many) states have laws requiring the parking brake to be used if the vehicle is parked on a public street or in a parking lot that the public has access to. Read your owners manual. If you didn't learn this in drivers ed, then you should take a refresher course. In some rare cases...

It appears that many people are overlooking the final step in an oil change. The final step is restarting the engine with a filter that is not full. I much prefer to start the engine while it is still hot and there is still the greatest amount of warm oil covering all moving parts.

A headlight harness is the best first step. You can play with different bulbs after that. I got one from GOS Racing. It has two leads with fusable links for the connection at the battery. They list it for ford trucks but it will work for anything with 9007 bulbs.

Warm in winter, cool(er) in summer. Just plain more comfortable regardless of season. I'm not selling anything. Never tried the fake stuff. I've had some where the wool was trimmed fairly short. The longer wool is better for temperature issues. I've had white and dark brown. It's all good. The...

Many people just use a ratchet strap.

It is not designed for better tire mileage. If you look at brigdstones site you will see that tire in that size was made just for the malibu. Blame GM. They had much to do with the specs.

When you walk on ice, or snow, or any slippery hard surface; Do you walk on your tippy toes or do you walk flat footed trying to put as much sole in contact with the "road" as possible?

Years ago I bought a van and the air filter housing was in the back of the van because it was broken. The used car salesman assured me that it had not be driven for very long with no air filter. As a temporary measure, to keep large airborne <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ufo.gif" alt="" />...

<blockquote>Quote:<hr /> Most of us here seem to agree that, within reason (< Max Cold PSI on SW), higher tire pressue give benefits such as better handling, better wear, better traction in rain, etc, <hr /></blockquote> I don't agree with any of that. OK, in some cases better wear. The tire...
