Auto Tip #2

I learned this tip in school today. I thought it was interesting so I decided to share it with you. The minimum specification for tire tread is 3/32 of an inch. I don't expect anyone to go and take a ruler to their tires. So if you are not sure if the tread (grooves) on your tires are starting to wear too much all you need to check it is a Penny. Just take a Penny, and turn it so that Abraham's head is upside down and facing you (the space between the top of the Penny to the top of his head is 3/32 of an inch), and stand up the coin in the tread. If you can Not see the top of his head, because the tread is covering it, then the tire is fine, but if you Can see the top of his head then you might want to consider looking into a new tire(s), all depending on how much of his head you can see. If it is just barely showing then you might have a little life left but if a considerable amount is showing, then like I said, you might want to buy a new tire or tires (you should check all the tires).

Anthony's auto tips #1

My mother gave me this idea to post helpful tips on here about cars.

This first tip came to me when my car was over heating today.

The first step to know if your car is over heating, is to check your temperature gauge (some cars don't have a gauge, just a light for when the car gets too hot).

Next, if your gauge reads that the water temperature is too high an easy thing to do, is to simply turn on the HEAT, this really works it worked for me today. What that does is it takes the very hot water, that can not extract any more heat from the engine, away from the engine and a fan blows the heat off the water into your car. In turn, cooling the water a bit. As the water flows back to the engine it extracts more heat till it can't any more and puts it back into the car, as long as the heat is on. You should put the fan on high in to order to take the most heat out of the water. This is only a temporary fix until you can get your car looked at or fixed. With my car the anti-freeze level was too low and there was not enough water to extract the heat from the engine.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP AS STEAM AT WAY OVER 245 DEGREES WILL VIOLENTLY BLOW OUT OF THE CAP SEVERELY BURNING YOU. WAIT AT LEAST TWO HOURS BEFORE OPENING CAP AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF!!
