The haters are crying about my lifted truck but the only thing I hear is compliments.

truckYou know when you think about getting a lifted truck you kind of prepare for people to hate on you. There is this idea that you will just get dirty looks all the time. But in the month since I got mine the experience has been totally different. I have gotten so many compliments. The best part is seeing kids get excited and yell things like "hammer down" just to hear it rumble. I am sure there are people who give sideways comments in traffic but they are not saying it to your face. Lifted trucks started out as a functional thing for a reason. I have a big Ram 5500 for my work and a lifted Jeep for my personal use. They are not just for show. They have a practicality to them too. I really do not care if some people want every car to have a ride height of a small wagon. The sort of people who take issue with what you enjoy driving enough to be meaningfully put off by it prefer the safety of a screen to speak. #LiftedTrucks #TruckLife #Cars #CarCulture #CarOwnership #WorkTruck #JeepLife #CarEnthusiast #PublicPerception #GoodVibes

A car part you probably never think about but should

We all know we have to change our oil and rotate our tires, but how often do you think about the fuel filter? I know I didn't until I learned a bit about it, especially for older cars. The answer really depends on what you drive. If you've got a newer gas car, you might never have to worry about the fuel filter. A lot of those cars have something called a "lifetime" fuel filter built right into the gas tank. That sounds great, but "lifetime" usually just means the life of the fuel pump, not the car itself. For older cars, the filter is usually outside the gas tank and needs to be replaced every 20,000 to 40,000 miles or so. Now, if you drive a diesel, that's a whole different story. Their filters have to be changed a lot more often, and some diesel engines even have two. The best place to check is always your owner's manual. But there are also some signs that your filter might be clogged, like if your car has trouble starting or the engine runs rough. I've heard a few stories of engines just stopping while a person is driving, and it all comes down to a clogged filter. #CarMaintenance #CarTips #DIYCar #FuelFilterFix #AutoRepair #Cars

Those ridiculous movie mistakes about cars that drive anyone who has common sense nuts

I swear, sometimes it seems like Hollywood doesn't even bother to do a basic Google search. Bond's Flipping Aston Martin: You know that scene in Casino Royale where Bond is chasing the bad guys in his Aston Martin DBS. He's going fast and swerves to avoid Vesper, and the car somehow just flips and does a barrel roll. That scene always bothers me. An expensive sports car like that should have just spun out. It's like the car failed a simple accident avoidance maneuver, which is just not realistic. The Magic Healing Porsche: Everyone remembers that old movie Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger. There is a scene where a Porsche 911 gets smashed up on its side, but then Arnold flips it over, and suddenly, the car is completely fine. It's like the damage just disappeared. The Timeless Lamborghini: In the movie Dallas Buyers Club, which is set in 1985, the main character has a Lamborghini Aventador poster on his wall. That car wouldn't even exist for almost 30 more years. It's one of those little details that really stands out if you know anything about cars. The Forever Fuel: This one is everywhere, especially in zombie movies. Someone finds a car that has been sitting untouched for years, they jump in, and the engine starts right up. Any car person will tell you that after years of sitting, fuel goes bad, parts get rusty, and wires get chewed up by mice. It's just not how things work. I would love to hear what other movie mistakes really bother you. Let's hear the most ridiculous ones you have ever seen. #MovieMistakes #CarGuys #Cars #Movies #PetPeeves #Hollywood #FilmHistory
