Smart Tips Tuesday


Back in the Day, this is what I drove, at least while I was in high school chauffeuring my brother and myself to school everyday. It was a beauty, even at 6 years old. I loved the color, turquoise (not as dark as in the picture). It built up muscles in my arms and chest, as there was no power steering back in the day. :) And there was no cruise control....leading to....
TODAYS TIP: Drive with cruise control on the highway. BECAUSE: Keeping a steady pace burns gas at a constant rate, which lets you drive as much as 10% farther on a single tank.

  2. They were heavy duty cars, even the doors were heavy. Made substantial! I never got to use it for anything else but I sure liked it and it was my favorite color!
