Getting to know your car

Another sunny day here in Calgary - it has to be above zero too. Very nice - what a constrast compared to Thunder Bay. I had heard/seen on TV that it is important to maintain good air pressure in your car tires. It prevents the wires/rim from being damaged and eventually eroding, which would ruin your tire itself. Paul J, one of the Youth leaders at my church (I've know Paul and Dale way back at Dorion Bible Camp when I was a camper and a staff member), taught me this morning how to measure the tire pressure as well as filling the tires as well. He showed me on the outside tire the measurements I needed to remember on what level to maintain (the PSI - don't ask me what that stands for). Once the ground is a tad drier - he will show me how to change my tire (how to use the jack and all). He would show me how to change my oil too - but with the new car I have - I get 3 free oil changes per year for as long as I own the car - Thanks KIA! It is nice to know "people in the know" for certain things like cars and how to fix things around the house. I just thought it might be wise to educate myself more about cars being female and on my own - it will only benefit me in the end right?
