In Check Your 710 we talked about checking the different fluids in your car, and making sure these fluids are at the right level; adding new fluid, whether it be oil, wiper wash or engine coolant if needed. What some might not realize, including until recently yours truly, is that there are different types of […]
It’s typical enough; you’re out on the town with your friends after a long work week, having a good time, hitting the local bars for a few drinks, maybe sing some karaoke. Your friends ask you if you want a ride home, because they think you’ve had one too many – after all, you were […]
