How 2 Prepare Ur Car For The Fast Approaching Rainy Season.ur Methods Are Welcum by tomiobj(m): 10:54pm On Jul 09, 2014
Please comment so this can make fp.
After the brief dry season the peak of this rainy season is fast approaching and I have devised some points in preparing your car for the rainy season
1.Dont waste your money in washing your car,@ the peak of the rainy seasons we will xpect lyk 8 thunderstorms in a day...so let the rain wash the car for you. And due to the bad roads in Nigeria..your car will get dirty again so there is no point in washing your car.
2.spread some newspaper on the floor of your car or if you want to be more fancy. Use cardboard. Because whether you like it or not you will have to pick up people and odds are they have muddy shoes on and the mud could seriously stain your footmat
3. (a little bonus for yourself)Always keep an umbrella at the back of your car because it's not usually funny if heavy rain gets you when you are still in your car
4. During the peak of the rainy season. Mornings are always cold. You can save energy and fuel by rolling down your glass and switching off your ac
5. Always drive slower during the rainy season especially if your road is bad. driving fast will cause a build up of mud under your car and when it dries. It will increase the weight of your car and this will burn up more fuel
6.service your car. You will need to service your car because no no would want their car to break down in traffic underlain or in a water logged area
7. Avoid muddy/bad roads. Its better to pass a road that is longer than a shorter road that's bad.you might think this vice versa but it's true it's not distance that ascertains your fuel consumption. Its the energy used so passing ditches and portholes takes a lot more fuel than you think.

This is how I am preparing my car for the second part (the peak) of the rainy season. Your additions/comments/questions are welcome
