2 JUNE 2017 Time to change to summer air Does that pesky tire pressure light keep coming on?? Try this! If you re not lucky enough to drive only classics, your every day driver most than likely has one of those pesky tire pressure monitoring systems that constantly turns on your dash light. What turns it on?!? More than likely, you ve got a tire with high or low pressure. This is a pretty simple fix, simply check all of your tire pressures and adjust as necessary. During season changes, these lights tend to come on the most which can cause constant frustration. How to tell if you have a more serious problem you ask? For most modern cars, if the TPMS system has a problem, it will flash the TPMS light as soon as you start the vehicle indicating there is a problem. If it still won t go out, check your spare tire and check your owner s manual to see if there is a reset button that must be pressed after checking your tire pressures. During season changes, these lights tend to come on the most which can cause constant frustration. On certain vehicles, like VW, they use an indirect system that measures wheel rotation to determine the tire pressure. Systems like this tend to turn on the light every couple of months just to have the driver check the tire pressures and set the system, even if there is nothing wrong. Although other manufactures utilize an actual sensor within each wheel like pictured above. HELP WANTED! All clubs rely on volunteers to guide the club and help organize activities.

3 May 2017 Debuts Richard Lowe 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid. Electric Storm Blue with Black leather interior. Richard liked his 2008 RAV4 so much, he decided to get another one. Although not quite as classic as his Hudson, it has all of the high tech features he wanted including navigation, sunroof, power lift gate, hybrid engine and Toyota safety sense and the sporty features like paddle shifters and 18 wheels. Very nice Richard! Chris Moynihan/Tony Ledford 1984 Porsche 911 Targa.
