Jul 21, 2015 · I have fond memories of working on vehicles with my dad (he was a mechanic), and I credit much of my shop knowledge and all-around tool skills to my teenage years working with him. Now as the father of two young boys (age 4 and 1), I’d like to pass those skills and that experience on to them when they’re ready.

Jun 16, 2009 · My first pair of tires were bald (so I was told) by the time the car (a Honda Civic '99) was only two years old. I did mostly highway driving back then. I’ve had my current pair for 3 1/2 years, still doing a lot of highway driving. 4 months ago I was told they’re still like new, though I’ve put a good 60,000 miles on them.
