Electric Scooter – A Different Way to Travel

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

There are some real advantages to owning an electric scooter.  Most fold up and are relatively easy to carry around, weighing about 30 Lbs.  Now that is not something you want to haul around all day, but it is about the same as your average filled suitcase.  Think of it this way.  Fold it up and carry it on a bus to your favorite park.  Then you are already to go scooting.  There is no pollution and no noise.  It is a lot smaller than a normal bicycle for tooling around the campus and a lot easier to store.  Again fold it up, and carry it to class knowing it will still be there when you are ready to travel.

Dunlop Tires For A Used Car

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Different kinds of cars require different kinds of Dunlop tires. It’s important to research the type of car you are looking to purchase and the corresponding Dunlop tires it needs. This is especially important when purchasing a used car. There is no guarantee that the car’s previous owner knew which tires were right for that car. He might have purchased a tire with a “T” speed rating, which is for family cars and minivans, when an “H” speed rating – usually reserved for sports sedans and coupes – may have been more appropriate for the car he was driving. The load index must also be considered. Tires with a higher load index are made for cars and trucks that are used for hauling. If you plan on towing anything, make sure the car or truck has a high load index.

What are my choices and considerations when it’s time to change oil?

An article about doing an oil change.

Well, you have a couple of options. You can take it to a place that will do it for you or you can do it yourself. Both choices come with their pros and cons. Here they are…

If you decide to change oil yourself in your car or truck, just know you will get grease under your fingernails and oil all over your hands. You will get your tools dirty and will sweat in a hot garage for about half an hour.

Others, however, prefer to pay the price to change oil and be done with it. It’s clean, it’s fast and for the most part, it’s professionally handled. The average price to change oil is about $30, though if you hire an unsavory mechanic the price might go up.
