Five things never to do to your car
Just a little article I was reading on some very common sense auto advice.
**********************************
Five things never to do to your car
Don't wash your car in blazing hot sun or it could ruin the finish
Pressure washing engine can let water corrupt electronics
Don't tow an automatic transmission car with the drive wheels down
Don't overload the alternator/charging system with stuff like big ass boom-boom audio systems
Don't make the mistake of buying "universal fit" wheels that are designed to fit multiple vehicles using shims and "make it fit" bolt patterns

Re: Five things never to do to your car
Also...never let your brother-in-law use your car to install and test some hydrogen fuel conversion system he found instructions for on the internet... 
When a friend of a friend shows up at your door dressed all in black clothing and a big duffle bag that rattles of heavy tools, just say no when he wants to borrow your car for "just an hour or so.." 
Don't leave cable ties, rope, duct tape and a knife laying on the seat...probable cause doode....if there is a crime rate in your area,it could get your car towed off.

Hey, if the sign says "Impassable during high water" they usually really mean it...the DOT doesn't just poke signs in the ground to burn up the state and Federal grant money...

The high water signs, make sure ya pay attention to those. it doesn't take many inches of rushing water to push most cars off the road.

Make sure when filling all fluids ex: Windshield, Anti-Freeze... you place the right fluids in the right places. Once I came close to putting Windshield fluid in the Anti-Freeze container.

That use to be quite common when the manufacturers started using the radiator overflow tanks.
