Stickers lessen a car’s resale value so you shouldn’t be too keen on putting one on your car. Or if you already have one (or bought one with a sticker), it might be wise for you to remove them now. And depending on the message, it just might make you look like some jackass on [...]
Ever drove at night and found your beams are somehow off? One side reaching farther ahead than the other? Then bet on it, your headlights are misaligned.
So the next thing to do is to fix it, have it aligned. But do you have to pay an expert for it? Better keep your wallet stuff because [...]
Oh well, YouTube’s back up so why not raid it for now while I’m working on another post. Haha.
Automatic clutches are really convenient. But for those who need the speed, there’s nothing like a stick shift. You’ve got full control. Beats the heck out of you though in bumper-to-bumper situations.

I personally dread the lack of parking spaces in high traffic areas. You spend hours upon hours circling the block hoping to find a parking space only to find out your odometer raking up miles. Oh yeah, and those unscrupulous drivers who can’t seem to park their cars right - taking up a bit [...]

One of the best way to prevent these things is to [...]
I’ve been always keen on a car’s finish. My sister used to mock me back in college when I used to spend a tad bit more time really making it spic and span and sparkle. I would’ve probably beaten the Karate Kid in a waxing contest (Wax in, wax out, Daniel-san!).
But everyday trips and [...]
Ah, the thrill of motorsports. I admit that having been to inspired by the World Rally Championships and Initial D (which came way before Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Dirft), I’ve tried some insane driving on my own. It’s pretty scary stuff. I tried powersliding and the smell of burnt rubber, highly-revved engine, and [...]
I’ve been a victim of a flat tire twice. I’ve also been to the rescue of a few friends who had flats mostly because of three reasons - 1) they don’t know how to change a flat, 2) they don’t have the right tools, and 3) friends in need of some oafish brute force.
