Air in your tires

If you will be driving your Camaro year round and live where it gets really cold dont forget to replace the summer air in your tires with winter air.
Same thing goes in the spring, winter air out, summer air in.

And in the summer don't forget to use a right handed spatula but in the winter change over to a left handed one.

i hear that winter air has up to 75% less oxygen compared to summer air. Does this mean i need to fill my tires 50% over maximum capacity as marked on the door panel??

When I travel I allways remember to stop in Mississipps and let the Alabama air out and put some Mississippi air in. And then let the Mississipps air out and put some Louisiana air in.

thats what customs officers ask....do you have any foreign meats, vegetables, fruits or air in your possession? they make you completely exhale before driving over the border.

While you're at it, I would suggest you lubricate your muffler bearings and replace your visor gaskets.

Also, don't forget to rotate your value stem caps.

I've been using windshield washer fluid all these years. Air would be much easier.
