No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Good deed? I was driving with my wife, just doing our errands for the week. I noticed a stoppage of traffic in front of us. As we got closer I notice one person pushing a disabled SUV. I made my way around and stopped my truck in a turn lane… Continue reading No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Unsafe, Dangerous and Lazy People
Unsafe, Dangerous and Lazy People I give up, how hard is it to actually clean the snow off your vehicle in the winter? I mean come on, it is only snow. I know, “it’s cold out”, “the snow is cold”, and “I can see good enough” are very common excuses for not bothering to clear… Continue reading Unsafe, Dangerous and Lazy People
Dodge Charger Dayton SRT EV
2024 Dodge Charger Dayton SRT EV I recently heard about the 2024 Dodge Charger Dayton SRT all-electric vehicle. I have to say that the concept car looks rather impressive.

It is called a direction indicator, or turn signal or simply a “blinker” and the first car to have one was way back in 1909 (so chances are… Continue reading Direction-indicator Lamps
The Merge
The Merge A huge pet peeve of mine is while driving and someone is going to merge into traffic, but they insist that traffic slow down and make room for them to merge.

Squeeze
Good Squeeze Nothing like giving your car a little squeeze every now and then. This pro tip ensures that you get all the oil out when you do an oil change. This is the preferred method of squeezing the oil out of your car. The other method is a bit destructive. I know that this… Continue reading Squeeze
