A huge thanks to Champion Auto Parts for creating this great reference. Spring – a.k.a. allergy season You love everything about spring…well, almost everything. You love the warmer temperatures, spending time outside and hearing the birds chirp, but can do without the allergy-inducing pollen that invades the air. If you suffer from allergies, you go through this love-hate relationship with spring every year. While you can’t magically get rid of all the pollen in the air, you can ensure the air inside your car is clean and fresh with a new cabin air filter. What’s a cabin air filter?

Extreme Cold & Your Vehicle—Are you Prepared? If you live in a place like where we live here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, you realize that it can get really cold out here sometimes. We are talking temperatures that can drop to -25 °C (-13°F) or even colder when you add wind-chill. Nobody likes that, and even worse, it takes a toll on your vehicles. So the questions is, what is the best way to prepare your vehicle and what is the recommendation for warming up your vehicle before you drive? How Long Should I Warm a Vehicle Before Driving? You won't like this answer, but it is actually best to minimize the amount of time you need to warm up your vehicle. Environmental benefits aside for a second, it is actually harder on your vehicle to start it and let it warm up for a long time before driving than it is to start it for just as long as it takes to clear the vehicle windows so you can see.

Hilarious Car Jokes - Part II So the guy two ranks below me at work bought a used 3-series. Another guy, about one rank below, bought a newer 3-series. So I go into my boss, explain the details, and believe it justifies a raise. "I've worked here twice as long as them, and rank higher. If they're driving BMWs, I should be driving a Genesis!" My employment record now says "dismissed for poor judgement." What's the difference between a grandfather clock and a BMW E36 after an autocross? The grandfather clock doesn't tell you the taillights are broken. What's the good thing about Fords? They come out of the factory with the problem circled. Did you know CHEVROLET is an acronym? Can Hear Every Valve Rattling On Long Extended Trips What do a 1000hp Supra and a 400hp Supra have in common? They both run a 12sec quarter mile. (Joke about turbo lag, but you already knew that!). A man buys a sports car and is really beginning to enjoy it when he sees flashing lights in ... read more
