Rubbing the tire on the road, is it really mathematically simple? by micky
When I was in high school I was taught, or I read, that it's bad to turn the steering wheel when the car is not moving. It's hard on the front tires, wears out the tread, and one should be moving the car at least a little when turning the wheel. Did they say that? Do they still? I've been...

Valet broke my brakes by Tom Del Rosso[_5_]
