Dumb Things Drivers Do to Their Cars
Don’t be a victim, or make your car one

Use a Boyfriend Mechanic
At the gas station, a woman approached me and asked, “Do you know how to refill power steering fluid?” I’m sure she chose me because I appear to be a very car-savvy guy, or, perhaps, only because I’m a guy. I spent maybe two seconds looking for the power steering reservoir on her car when I noticed the drive belt for the power steering was hanging loose. It was a new belt that had been installed improperly. All the fluid in the world wasn’t going to help. I asked, “Did your boyfriend install this?” I received no response. Ladies: Just because we’re male doesn’t mean we know anything about cars. However, just because we’re male, we pretend we know everything about cars. Be wary.
