Look, we have all been there. It’s freezing out, your fingers are numb, and you have already shoveled the driveway. Getting that last little bit of snow off your automotive is the cold weather version of returning the shopping cart: small effort, obvious advantages, and one way or the other something people don’t do. But because it seems, leaving that “snow-hawk” in your automotive is rather more than an indication of laziness. In lots of states, it’s actually illegal. Realistically, clearing the snow off your automotive — considered one of the unbreakable rules of winter driving — shouldn’t be only about self-preservation, but…

After purchasing the domain Lambo.com in 2018 for $10,000 Richard Blair decided it was time to money out on his investment and seemingly was in an ideal spot to make a pleasant margin.

The papaya rockets from Woking are threatening to run away with the entire shebang before sunscreen season even ends. McLaren has been on such a tear, it’s made Ferrari look less like a title threat and more like they’re fighting Kick Sauber for seventh. The dominance has been so thorough that the championship conversation has shifted from if — to when. Remember “Goldilocks and the Three Bears?” McLaren does — and…
Royal Purple’s vivid motor oil doesn’t just promise protection — it sells performance in a bottle. With claims of it being stronger than conventional oil, higher oxidation resistance, and a Synerlec additive that supposedly clings to metal like a needy ex, it’s no wonder some treat it like liquid horsepower. Most drivers grab whatever American Petroleum Institute (API)‑certified engine oil meets specs, change it each time the reminder light turns passive‑aggressive, and move on until their next oil change. Royal Purple is taken into account a special animal. The Synerlec additive package ionically clings to metal and, per the Royal Purple company,…
