This Is Not A Drill!

Being prepared is pretty important when you are out on the road. It’s a wild world, and you’ll need a plan if you find yourself stranded. Putting together a care kit with a whistle, blanket, water bottle, and phone charger is great and all, but you need to think beyond yourself. We’re talking emergency kit, roadside edition. Keeping things like a car jack, spare tire, flashlight, and glass breaker in your vehicle could make a world of difference.

Wash Me LOL

While some people put their artistic talent to use when writing on a dirty car, others join the wash me fleet. Don’t let your vehicle fall prey to their ranks, so make sure to wash your car! This might not seem all that important, but your vehicle, specifically the paint, will appreciate it in the long run.

Washing your vehicle doesn’t have to be a chore. It can be a family fun water fight or a decompressing moment while you sit in a tunnel!

The graveyard of cars in the world is just one side of the coin, the other being perfectly functioning vehicles. If you do not maintain your vehicle, it will fall to the other side. You must follow a maintenance schedule for your oil, tires, and filters if you want to keep your vehicle moving.

Find a mechanic you can trust, like the techs at your local Ford dealer. Always feel free to ask questions and find what best works for your vehicle. Doing so can save you a lot of time, a headache, and money down the line. Proper upkeep with your maintenance will also let you jet off to your next adventure, no problem!
