Don’t forget the lube – Car Maintenance Ah, car maintenance, I remember, back in the day, when all gas stations were full-service. Meaning, you always had that awkward moment when some stranger in a coveralls would ask you “Can I check your under your hood, maam?” I’m sure when I answered him, I often stuttered.…
Road Construction What a mess it is now on our highways and roads. They are doing construction on all of the freeways and many residential streets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This, coupled with people locating here for jobs, makes it a real mess. I feel sorry for those newbies that don’t know their way…
The last time I got pulled over by Johnny Law (and that was his real name…no kidding), he scanned the registration sticker on my windshield. I suppose he did this to see if it was counterfeit. But he didn’t ask me for proof of liability insurance. I had heard that the police can pull that…
The best advice for driving in snowy or icy conditions is to not drive at all, if you can help it. According to the National Safety Council, their advice on winter driving is to not go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their dirty work. And allow…
I wonder if Santa texts while driving in his one horse open sleigh. You know…while he’s dashing through the snow, over hills he goes, laughing all the way. Why is he laughing, is he drunk? Or, perhaps he’s just jolly…a jolly drunk. Why else would he be off roading? Driving too fast for the weather…
Before I started driving, the first hazard on the road that I experienced was when my drunk dad skid on a patch of black ice and wrecked our mini bike. I think that would be a great t.v. show “My Drunk Dad.” I’d watch it, for one. Heck, I’d even d.v.r. it. And I know all of…
Men always give women drivers a bad rap. Our driving is a form of entertainment for most guys out there. There are countless jokes and stories about women drivers. In fact, I just heard one today. This man is watching the news and the top breaking news story is about a car traveling down the…
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teen drivers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to my teenaged daughter, my cooking comes in at a close second. I am getting better, though I still burn Jello. My bad cooking may be here to stay. But teen motor…
Who’s the better driver…men or women? I learned a long time ago, that question only ends in divorce. Since the invention of the automobile, this has been an ongoing argument. I’m not “siding” with either sex, but I do recall the Father’s Day card I sent my dad this year. It said “Dad’s…Proudly Refusing To…
I’ll never forget that one horrible thing that gave me nightmares when I was a teenager. It was that scary driver’s education film showing the freight train hitting the motor vehicle. That image affected me for years. And, if I were classless and immature, I would tell you that because of that film, I wet…
