Motorcycles have a lot of one-ups on cars, just as a basic concept. Maneuverability, sleek design, and a whole bunch else. But one thing cars almost invariably have over motorcycles is storage space. You aren’t going to be delivering Christmas turkey on a motorcycle. Which is why you need a motorcycl...
So, you just got a brand new vehicle. And the best part, by far, is the seating. That fine, leather seating that feels good when you sit in it, even after hours of doing so. However, upon getting your vehicle, you begin to wonder what will happen if the seat gets torn. You definitely don’t have the m...
Okay, so the big family car trip is taking a lot longer than anyone involved initially believed it would. The sun is setting, and fortunately, there are enough adults in the car for the driving to be taken over in shifts. But maybe one of you has an awful back and thus can’t stand sleeping in t...
Got that big car trip coming up? If you do, then you’re going to need some refreshments for you and your family so that you aren’t constantly stopping off at every single rest stop to grab another snack.

If you live in or anywhere near a suburb, then you’ve likely seen a garage at some point. Heck, if you have a rather large family and thus have to live in a big house, the construction company probably threw in a garage attached to the house in the general design. And with a garage comes, of course, ...
Got a mechanic in your life? If so, you probably want to get them something for Christmas that’s significant to that particular field so that they know that you care enough to go that extra mile for them. However, that, of course, begs the question of what gift to get for them at all.

Well, your car has gotten stuck in a ditch. Your wife told you not to take that shortcut, but you just had to be Mr. know-it-all, didn’t you? As right as this serves you, it probably is best that you get that thing out of there as quick as you can, before it starts raining. And of course, there...
If there is any part of the car that must be kept constantly in proper working order, it would have to be the transmission.

When it comes to the inside of your car, there’s no more important piece of hardware than the steering wheel. Without it, you’re essentially sitting in a big metal box rolling down the road at several miles an hour, at the mercy of the elements. So, it probably goes without saying that yo...
A lot of jobs can be handled with nothing more than a t-shirt and pants, but that isn’t always the case, as you can imagine.

So, you’re getting older. Even if the rest of your body is pretty okay, age has a way of making it unbearable to do things with your back that a younger man would have no trouble with.

Every vehicle needs some kind of oil. Whether it be fossil fuel oil or a synthetic blend, it’s required for a vehicle to run correctly.

No one likes a smelly car. No really, no one likes a smelly car. And the only reason you think your car doesn’t smell that bad is that you’re so used to the smell that it could smell like moldy cheese that’s been under a pig’s backside for a month and you’d go “eh,...
Among the various things you own, few are going to face the punishment that your car paint finish is.

So, it’s inevitable t...
It may be something of a cliche to say this, but it remains true to this day: a car really is only as good as the tires you give it.
