Yesterday I was driving through the Walmart parking lot (an adventure all its own, I assure you) when it dawned on me how many people are unaware of who has the right of way in most situations. Either that, or they are blatantly ignoring their knowledge, in which case there is no hope. I, however, am a believer in people, so why not review a few right of way laws?……Read More

We all want nice cars. We all want to be able to be able to hop into our vehicles and just have it work without any issues. But, and this a huge but, there is a false perception that mechanical work on a vehicle costs so much that you might as well buy a new car. This perception will end up costing you more in the long run.   The……Read More

It’s getting hot out. Time to break out the shorts, and swimsuits, and tank tops. Time to put away the coats and boats and Hot Chocolate. It’s natural to move things around our house in preparation for a new season, but what about your car? Is there anything that should be done to your vehicle just because the weather is changing? Of course there is. Just like things in our……Read More

Imagine yourself driving down a road near your home. It’s a road you drive every day, the same old commute that you’re used to. You reach down to change the radio station when bam the neighbors cat has run into the middle of the street.  Lucky for you, you’re going the speed limit so stopping is no big deal. At least you think it’s no big deal until you hear……Read More

When we buy a car we are making a statement about who we are and what matters to us. Some cars are showy and ostentatious, others are understated or just plain old. No matter what the car is, it reflects our tastes. Most people spend months thinking about what car they like, what year they’re interested in, and what can fit into their budget. When you find a car, the……Read More

A couple of months ago my husband and I sat at a red light on a street that we had driven dozens of times before. My husband has never been in accident, nor gotten a ticket. I completely trust him when he is driving. We were having a pleasant conversation about something frivolous when the predictability of the road changed. It was an almost out of body experience to be……Read More

Considerations What do you do when you need to replace brakes on your auto?  The dealer (factory) option garners higher parts and labor costs with general expertise and low turnover of technicians. The brake specialist usually offers a flat cost for parts and labor which is an average (high for the low end, and low for the high end) with specific expertise, but often higher turnover of technicians.  The local……Read More

Where did I learn about auto repair? Back in the day, I would help (hold the flash light, pass the tool, lift the transmission, etc.) and learn from any needy, or not so needy, backyard mechanic.  I was a ‘grease monkey’ in every sense of the word, often getting dirtier than those I assisted.  The best of the best backyard mechanics was my Grandpa.  Although he was focused and fixed……Read More

Okay, I have a confession to make. I am OBSESSED with Mini Coopers. I’m not sure when or why i decided they were so awesome. It probably all started after i watched the movie “Italian Job.” If you’ve ever seen it, you probably wanted to get a Mini Cooper after watching it too. I also think the reason they became so appealing to me is because they are small, cute,……Read More

You’ve driven this road a thousand times before. You’ve done it so much, in fact, that you feel like you could do it in your sleep. It’s so early in the morning, and you are so tired and sure that you could do the drive with your eyes closed that you let your eyes slip. It’s the perfect recipe for disaster. If you drive enough, same route, same car, you……Read More
