Useful Guidelines For Total Car Care
Visually Inspect the Car yourself! Walk around it and look at the fit and finish. Not all wrecked cars will be reported, but if you see uneven spaces between the doors, and hood and fender, then watch out! Check for "over spray". If the car was repainted, it may not show up on a Car Fax either. Look around the black moldings, and exterior fittings like headlights, door handles, etc. If you see "over spray" it likely means the car has been repainted. Now, for a car older than 10 years it could be perfectly reasonable to have a re-paint. Just try and find out who and where the work was done.
The ladies are the same way, guys. Not that they have dripping froth from their jowls and are ready to tear you up and eat you, but they have the same antennae that your junkyard dog has. See, the junkyard dog picks up Fear from you with his antennae. That's when he knows he's got you. But the ladies pick up what with their satellite dishes? They pick up lack of self-confidence, lack of self-esteem, and lack of self-worth.
Step Four: Wear the tires and rims. Choose tires that can last long and endure short races. The tires don't have to be the best just as long as they don't melt quickly under stress. Likewise the rims should be in good order so that turns in the race course can be handled.

In order to have great traction on the road, you need plenty of tire tread. Without ample tread, you won't be able to control your vehicle as easily; you can slip and slide when you're trying to stop or turn corners. Head over to the tire shop and replace them before you leave. If it turns out they're still okay, make sure they're filled with air and balanced.
Check your stems for dry rot. Bad stems are common causes of flat tires, but are simple to fix. It takes a tire shop about ten minutes to fix and will cost you less than five dollars each. The hassle of having to change your tire because of a bad stem, however, is much more costly. When checking tire pressure, it is a good idea to check out your stems as well. If one needs replacing, it is likely that the others will soon need replacing as well (if you bought all your tires at the same time).
Shop Online. Wholesale providers of automobile replacement parts and accessories are springing up all over the internet. Some stores are good, some are not. What to look for: available customer service agents; a toll free number where you can call someone to talk with directly; a store that never closes and has a secured payment site; and clearly understood shipment, payment, and return policies. Generally, an online retailer should be a great option as low overhead and purchasing directly from the manufacturer is what sets these wholesalers apart from the rest. Still, do your homework and make sure that the site is what it says it is.
