I once knew a Palm Reader who said she was having transmission troubles. So, when she read my palm, her predictions were that I was going to live a long life, my love line was good and strong, and I was destined to be a rodeo clown…what? Although my life revolves around clown-like behavior, of…
Lubricants keep things running smooth with less friction. Okay…get your head out of the gutter. We’re talking about automobile engines here. Motor oil is not the only lubricant that your vehicle requires, it needs several types of engine lubricants. It also needs gear lube, gear oil, greases and compressor oil. Oh, yes, and that special…
When I hear the words “pull over”, I automatically think “police.” Although police appreciate it when you obey them and give you no other choice, here are a few signs you should pull over immediately by ComedyDefensiveDriving.com: Pull Over for a Warning Light If you have any warning lights come on, it could be something…

Teen Drivers On The Road No more pencils, no more books and no more teacher’s dirty looks. As Alice Cooper put it…School’s Out For Summer! That means there will be more teen drivers on the road. Good for them, but bad for the rest of us. Inexperience is one of the leading factors in teen…
