Feeling tired, angry, and stressed? Here’s how not to drive like it.

Sometimes when you’re out on the road it’s easy to lose one’s temper. We’ve all experienced the horn blaring, cursing, aggressive driving road rage beast before, whether it was ourselves or someone else with the bad attitude. You can avoid submitting to a cranky temper with these tips:

Sleep. Seriously, sleep. A full night. No excuses. Everyone is a grouch when they don’t get enough sleep, this is just a given.

Plan ahead! It’s okay to leave early. This gives you time to be able to conquer unforeseen road difficulties without the stress.

Treat rude behavior the same way you would in a restaurant. Would you lose your cool over someone cutting you off in line at a bodega?

Probably not – it would be embarrassing. We are isolated in our cars, and feel a false sense of privacy and security while there. The truth is, everyone can see you flipping the bird and just a head’s up – nobody needs to be a lip reader to know what words you’re using.

6 Timeless Print Ads From Dodge & Chrysler

Do you remember a time when cassette tape players were a cutting edge feature and everyone with a license knew how to drive stick?  In this age of digital technology, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the things that require extra work to make or understand.  We have become impatient about the bottom line.  When most of us read headlines instead of news stories, the simple elegance of a good print ad can go unappreciated.  To remedy that, here are a few of our favorite examples from Chrysler and Dodge.

TRUE OR FALSE: The best time to wash your car is in the middle of a hot summer day!

FALSE!  If your car has been sitting in the sun or you’ve just taken it for a long drive, you should wait until it cools down before soaping up.  Park it in the shade for a couple of hours—or start with the interior.  A hot exterior speeds the drying of the soap and water.  While that may sound like a good thing, it makes washing more difficult because it increases the chance of spots and soap scum.  Avoid the hassle—wait until things cool off.

Dodge is attracting the youngest American car buyers!

What happens when you take the average age of each car manufacturer and rank them? Well, AutoNews just commissioned a report that looked at exactly that question.

PSA: The colder it gets, the more your tire's inflation will drop

Winter is here, and tire pressure is something you want at the forefront of your mind during this season.

Why? Simply put, winter's lower temperatures cause the air pressure in a cold tire to drop.  When that happens, the tire shrink. I know you might be thinking that objects usually expand when cooled, but remember that your tires are filled with air (a gas), so they will instead contract.

The rule of thumb is that for every change in 10 degrees (Fahrenheit), your tire's inflation will drop by about 1 PSI. So, fill up those tires, folks!
