3/10

Retarded test if you ask me.

I hand wash my car.

Only feed it premium, because it's PCM programmed that way

I change the oil every 3k regardless.

I don't own an electric car.

I've always used a penny for gauging tire treads, if I even go that route.

I do my own maintenance and repair on my car so I never take it to a mechanic.

And I'll rotate my tires at 6k if I feel like it dammit.

Lol most articles and tests like that are usually written by someone who wouldnt know a dipstick from a drum brake. I see articles on AOL.com all the time dealing with car care and maintenance. Usually done by some yuppie after a quick google search.

I got 9/10...I missed the quarter one...I had it on quarter but then I second-guessed myself & changed it to penny lol thats what screws me over on tests. I didn't exactly agree with all of those questions/answers but I knew what kind of answer they would want so to say

Some of those questions were loaded. The soap they use in automatic car washes are very harsh on your finish and there are a lot of cars out there that require premium gas.

LOL ~ lol , thanks member's for your post(s). I also thought it was a dumb test, but it was fun to read your posts & remarks.
I agree with Mod `Matt that the people that create test like this don't really know about cars, and I believe their choice answers were wrong or confusing and not for the masses.

I don't mind taking test that are `free & there's no record of me failing : ) Now, back 2 the test of `Life Sure hope I pass that one Wish U read'in this a fun time during your visit to the MCF : )
