I hate your "In the Hood" articles. They are neither helpful nor take place under the hood of a car. Do you even know what oil looks like?

Assuming you have disposable income, the #1 thing you can do to your car to get it ready for winter is to get SNOW TIRES. I bought my first set of these two years ago and they changed the entire way I viewed winter. I no longer worried about traveling in heavy snow storms or getting stuck in the compact car that I had.

You can take off quicker, brake quicker, and turn more precisely. Most importantly, you will avoid accidents by having more control over your vehicle.

Now that is some advice. (TireRack.com has the best deals)
