Once upon a time, a car that reached 100,000 miles (or more) was thought to be on its last leg. Today, that simply isn’t true. Cars are built to last, and in some cases, you might even consider 100,000 miles to be small potatoes. Case in point: Million Mile Joe garnered national attention recently when…
If you’re like most of us, you stash all sorts of odds and ends in this handy hideaway, including important automotive paperwork, sunglasses and leftover fast food straws.

You may not have time to wash and wax your car on a regular basis, but if you’re like most car owners, you certainly know when it’s time to stop at a car wash and give your car a quick bath. What about the inside of your car? Is there trash on the floor? When…
Did you know that the average garden hose uses about 10 gallons of water per minute? If you do the math, you can easily see that a 10-minute car wash in your driveway could use up to 100 gallons of water — and sadly, most of that will head straight down the nearest drain. Of…
