We are always late wherever 70..0 because Bob insisa On per- forming what ' he calls , a "pre- flight check" before he gets into the car. He checks the tires, the, wipers, the oil and water and a dozen other items before he'll even move out of the driveway. I'm all for safety but don't you think he's carrying this thing too far? MRS. R.W. Dear Mrs. R.W.: Perhaps your husband is carrying things too far. But, if he is, at least he's on the side ,of the angels. (A good place for a pilot to be.) Too many motorists pay no at- tention to fundamentals like proper tire pressure, oil ley- els, good Wipers and other basics necessary for trouble- free performance. At best, neglect can lead to prema- ture deterioration of the car. At worst, carelessness can lead to a serious accident. Bear with your husband's — carefulness. He wants to Ply now and drive later in a safe manner. Dear DeDe: Will you please help. me out of a tight spot at home? I just met Jeff and he's the kind of guy I could get se- rious over. There's only one trouble. Jeff has his heart set on being a race driver. When my parents hedrd that, they blew their stacks and forbade me to see Jeff again. Now, I've driva toith Jeff a number of times and he's a lot, safer driver than some of the boys my parents approve of. How can I con- vince my parents to let me go out with Jeff? WRONG TRACK WINNth Dear. Winnie: ' You are right in one re- spect. Successful race driv- ers are the safest drivers in the world. They must adhere to the rules of the road and have their cars in the best • possible condition to be suc- cessful. Why not arrange for a double date with your parents with Jeff driving. Once they see he's a better bet at the steering wheel than the average driver, you two may reach the win- ner's circle together. Dear DeDe: We are a young couple on a tight budget.,One high but important item on that budget is. car expenses. Can you give us, some tips on how to keep that. budget under control? CLAUDE AND JEANNE Dear C and J: One way not to save is to scrimp on preventive main- tenance. That dollar you didn't spend could...0d up costing you five. For in- stance, there's no surer way to cause premature engine wear than to skip recom- mended oil and filter changes. Neglecting tune-up is going to cost you money in excessive gasoline bills, charges for road service when your car won't start and possible engine damage. Not checking the air in your tires, having tires improperly balanced could wear out a set of tires 25 percent prematurely. So, to avoid paying those whop-. ping repair bills that shatter budgets, earmark some money for preventive main- tenance. It pays off in the ong run. SEE AND BE SEEN! Among the most vim- non reasons for rejection at vehicle inspection sta- tions throughout the coun- try are items affecting visi- bility, In some areas as high as a 50 percent rejec- tion rate occurs on items such as lights and wind- shield wiper and washer ystents. Experts say thlat head-, light aiming •should be checked , several times a year. Wiper blades should be replaced every six months. HELPFUL HINTS When an engine misses as thecar is accelerated but runs fine at light load or idle, the probable reason Is that a worn plug may mis-fire because" of increased compression pressure at heavy load. • * * When cleaning your wind- shield, don't force the wiper blades aside. Some of the late model electrically driv- en wipers can be perma- nently damaged by forcing them to another position. Some ignition problems don't show theinselve4 ex- cept in wet weather. That's when cracked insulation is most likely to tail.
