My first car wreck is kind of funny looking back on it. (What were YOU thinkin' I was talking about?) It wasn't my car, it was my mom's. And NO ONE was driving! lol My mom had a little diner back home in Texas where I helped. One night, we were loading up some boxes, and I pulled the car to the front doors to make it easier to load. When we came out for the next trip, mom asked, "John, where is the car?" Thinking she was joking (we were always playing practical jokes on one another, I replied,…See More

I'd also like to put together a non-profit or work with a non-profit that targets needy children in the local area, especially kids in orphanages and low-income families.

If anyone can help with this or have contacts with someone who may be willing to participate, that would be fantastic!

My Car Doc: Auto 101 Tip: Windows or AC?
Dear My Car Doc,
Please settle a bet with my wife. I say you get better fuel economy with the windows down because it lets the air flow THROUGH the car. She says you get better fuel economy with the windows up and the AC on because it lets the air flow OVER the car. I say she's silly because the AC creates drag on the engine. She says if I'm so silly why not put my money where my mouth is.

My Check Engine Light is on...HELP!
Dear My Car Doc,
I just got my oil changed at ***fy Lube and now my check engine light is on. What did they screw up?
--All Lit Up
Dear Lit,
I've seen this happen before. It's possible they forgot to reset your light or didn't reset it properly. Read on.
Hmmm, are you sure it’s your CHECK ENGINE and not your SERVICE ENGINE light? I’m not trying to be funny, but the two lights are often mistaken for one another…

My Car Doc: Auto 101 Tip: Secret Warranties!
Dear My Car Doc,
I’ve heard whispers about Secret Warranties. Is there a secret club I need to be in or a decoder ring I need to order? What is this all about?
—Waiting by the mailbox
Dear Waiting,
Nope, no decoder ring, secret knock, secret handshake, or private club to join….but there ARE secret warranties.
Here’s the scoop: When a part has a high failure rate, a car manufacturer will…

Megan Brown said… - John,
Thanks for your compliments as well as your input! As you've read, I completely agree with you!
I try to write in a casual, unpretentious way so that the few (and I mean few) people that read my blog can connect and feel free to exchange ideas with me.
Hopefully now that you've read one entry, you'll want to keep reading more...?
Anyway, thanks again! Have a great day!

I'm hoping to do exactly that. Network my way to a new career. I saw you among the friends on one of my other Smaller Indiana friend's profiles and thought I'd send you an add request. You never new who the person might be who has the line on your dream job!
