Blog 16: Answer 2

1. My essential question is " What is the biggest factor in maintaining an automobile?"
2. The biggest factor in  maintaining an automobile is preventative maintenance.
3. The biggest factor in maintaining an automobile is adjusting your driving style to help you save money.
4. One reason that adjusting your driving style will have an effect in real world situations is that it will save you money, for example by not accelerating so hard it will put a lot less stress on your engine and will result in less maintenance in the long run compared to the "lead foot" drivers.
Adjusting your driving style will also result less money on gas because you aren't "hammering it!!" at every light and will also save you money on buying new brakes because the faster you go the harder you must brake to slow down. The last reason adjusting your driving style will have an effect in real world situations is that it can keep you and others around you safer. By using the same "lead foot" example, we can conclude that you will have a much lower chance of getting into an accident because by driving slower you will have more control over your car and also have more time to make decisions based on the driving situations around you. Accidents can cost you lots of money but more importantly it could coast you you're life and even others around you.
5. Cars.com provides a website with many practical tips on how to make your car last longer.
6. I think that another source could be my mentors own knowledge on driving styles and how they can effect the maintenance of you're car.
7. Overall, I think that adjusting your driving style has two main effects on your lives as a car owner. It will save you money on maintenance and repair and will also keep you and the drivers around you safer.
