Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care Great book to learn about car care. – Solana Perez – Arizona
Recently I attended a Saturday auto clinic that was held by a local repair shop. The technicians went over the basics of how to change a tire, inspect belts, check oil, and other general car care tips. At the end of the session I asked if they had any recommendations for a good book to continue learning about how to take care of my car. They suggested Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care, so I bought a copy. I like how this book sticks to the basic things that I need to know. It is definitely a good resource to have.
I bought this book with my 16-year-old daughter in mind. Since she used half of her own hard earned money to make her first car purchase she is interested in knowing how to maintain it properly. She started asking me questions and I didn’t know all the answers, so I decided to buy Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care. I didn’t want a book so mechanically complex that she wouldn’t read it, so I’m glad I found this book! The pictures and illustrations are excellent. The author of Auto Upkeep simplifies complex automotive systems in a way that keeps her attention and mine. My 14-year-old son has also begun reading it!
My only regret is that I didn’t buy this book before my daughter bought her car. I know it would have saved us some money. I never took “auto shop” in school, so I learned things the hard way. It’s great to know that I am helping my kids learn the basics easily and early in life.
I highly recommend this book!! : If you own a car or are in the market for one, Auto Upkeep is the book for you! From choosing an insurance policy to performing basic maintenance and repair, Auto Upkeep presents the information you need in an easy-to-follow format with detailed pictures and drawings. An accompanying CD provides review questions and hands-on activities to help you apply concepts from the text. Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care

Razor MX350 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike I bought this little dirtbike for my son a few years back. He was 6 years old at the time and had been riding a bicycle for almost 2 years so I figured the next logical step was something like this. With a little instruction he got on it and took right off like he’d been doing it forever.
I will say this – it says on the box for kids 12+ and I think thats bad advertisement… my son enjoyed it for about a year and then I had to upgrade him to a gas powered bike so he could ride on a little rougher terrain and go up hills. He can still ride the razor but its better suited for flat paved surfaces. A 12 year old would have fun on this thing for about 1 hour – its just not powerful enough to lug them around.
That being said our bike was reliable and has lasted through two kids learning. Its awesome for beginners and thats really all it should be bought for. Make sure to buy helmets and pads too – I see too many kids on these things with no protection. Teach them young. Razor: 15128040 The Razor Dirt Rocket MX350 is a miniature electric motocross bike. Scaled down dirt bike design carries riders up to 150 lbs. Geared for dirt with large 10″ pneumatic knobby tires for maximum power transfer. Can travel over 10 miles on a single charge. Variable speed, chain driven motor for a super quiet yet powerful operation. At speeds up to 12 mph, the dirt rocket leaves similiar pocket dirt bikes in itsdust. Essentially a scaled-down motocross bike with an electric motor, the Razor MX350 Dirt Rocket is ideal for pre-teens and teens (ages 12 and up) who want to enjoy the dirt bike experience without breaking the bank. The Dirt Rocket’s powerful motor carries riders at speeds of up to 14 miles per hour–more than enough for most bumpy dirt trails–and can cruise for up to 10 miles (or 40 minutes) on a single charge. At the same time, the bike’s riser handlebars deliver a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the terrain, so the fun isn’t restricted to flat pavement. As a final bonus, the Dirt Rocket’s variable-speed, chain-driven motor is extremely quiet, a marked contrast to traditional gas-powered motocross bikes.
