Caring for Your Car

Let's be honest: cars are as much work as kids. The difference is, you can leave your car in the garage and forget about it.

We said your CAR.

We've all been there, driving around with the engine light on, assuring ourselves it's not serious. Then, the engine light goes off and we live in fear that maybe it was serious and the car is simply daring you to keep driving. But from check-ups to oil changes to rotations, the time and the money seem like too much to put in for something that seems to be doing its job just fine. Shut the garage door and forget about it.

WAIT!

The repercussions of ignoring your car could be creeping up on you faster than you think. In fact, you could even be voiding your cars warranty without knowing it. AOL Autos released this list of the top ten WORST things you can do to your car.

Top Ten Worst Things You Can Do To Your Car

Don't put off your car's routine maintenance

By: Michael Zak

Getting an oil change is a pain, whether you do it yourself or have it done professionally. You have to take time out of your day, pay for it and, if you're at a lube shop, often endure a stream of questions and accusations that make you feel like a worse car owner than Tommy Callahan.

But it's just this type of annoying, small maintenance procedure that can prevent some seriously pricey repairs in the future.

According to a recent study by CarMD.com, which polled professional mechanics, putting off oil changes is one of the top ten worst things that you can do to your car. Along with neglecting other small repairs, such as replacing the air filter, small issues can snowball into much bigger problems -- like engine failure -- and huge repair bills in the future.
