Caulk the bathtub and change the AC filters.

Turn off the AC before starting the car.  It puts an extra strain on the engine.

People can handle most anything with a little notice. It is the surprise that people can't handle!

When you think you're interested in a romance with a co-worker, "never keep your honey with your money".

I used to think this, too, but apparently it's only true for much older cars (not sure how old).  I recently read a Car Talk column that said when a car is started, the electronic system disengages the radio and/or the air conditioner (If they are switched to "on") until the car is actually running.  So I suppose it's up to the driver as to what he or she chooses, unless it's a very old car.

Keep at least 2-3 car lengths between your car and the car ahead of you (on the freeway).  Or count 2-3 seconds.  That is approximately the same.
