How To Remove Stickers From Your Car's Windshield
Stickers on car's windshields are one of the simplest but most effective ways of relaying information. For instance, in Texas, stickers are used as proof that your vehicle is registered.

You could put a "student driver" sticker on your rear windshield to let others know you're still learning. Or perhaps you want decorative stickers of your favorite band if you find your windshield too plain and boring.

11 High-Mileage Vehicles That Can Last Well Over 300K Miles
For many, cars and trucks are a necessity of modern life. Although public transportation serves millions, most of us living in North America can't really depend on it. This leaves us relying on our various personal vehicles to get where we need to go. This means we also have to deal with vehicles that eventually wear out. And thanks in large part to Alfred P. Sloan, CEO of General Motors in the 1920s, cars don't last forever. Back then, Sloan realized that consumers buying cars that lasted an extraordinarily long time would have no need for a new model, thus decreasing GM profits. So he devised the concept of planned obsolescence, which continues to plague buyers of goods from smartphones to light bulbs to cars to this day.

Over time, the concept of a soft roader slowly started to grab the attention of automakers, eventually leading to the SUV's absolute dominance.

If you are not at least moderately informed about how engines work, you may still be aware that they all require water, or antifreeze, in order to function. It is true that some form of coolant is required to keep engines from overheating, but for some engines, the cooling is performed using air. Air-cooled engines feature cooling fins extending from the side of the cylinders and heads to help dissipate heat by having fast-moving air passed over them, and this can be done either by using a fan in a forced-air cooling system or by using the air naturally passing over the engine from being exposed as it travels.
