Safety is a primary objective every time you get in a car. We pray for travel mercies. We tell our children to drive safely. Road signs tell us to drive safely, to wear our seat belts, and obey traffic laws, all so that we will “arrive alive” at our destination. Cars were never meant to be phone booths, texting stations or music halls. They were meant to help us arrive safely.

Most of the technology advancements have an underlying theme of safety, many of which are addressed in these pages. More importantly, in these pages you will find simple helpful information on car ownership. Armed with the knowledge of car ownership, understanding what all the warning signs are, and knowing what to do when things go wrong will help all of us stay safe in and around our automobiles.

So consider me the dad you never had who desires for you to know how to care for your car and arrive safely.
