Summer's Coming
(Summer's Coming) Getting Ready For The Road This past weekend my bitter half and I .. Oops I mean my better half and I hit the road for a couple's weekend retreat, It was a small one 500 miles round trip. I put My old trusty steed the gas hog in the garage and decide to rent a small compact economy car . That sucker got 28.9 mpg i think it only held 12 gal though.. Anyway enough of the ramblings of an old man.. When I picked it up the tire light was on and no washer fluid. So that got me thinking . How many times do we hit the road without checking the small stuff? Here are a few things we need to check before starting the great adventure. 1. CHECK THE TIRES I always check the tires: the air pressure and the tread before going on a trip. Check the weather, too, because you need your tires to hold up in the rain (summer rainstorms can come out of the blue, but try to be prepared.) Do it a few days in advance, that way you can either fix your tires or you can get new ones
