Auto-Matic Win: Sprinkler To Rinse Road Salt

Winter Car Care Tip:

It's important to rinse the road salt off your car. If you rely on rain you're missing the all important undercarriage. On a non-freezing day, set up a hose with your sprinkler and drive over it a couple of times.

Last Call for the Five-Planet Parade

Five planets make up the so-called "Planetary Parade" that began in January and will leave us by late February. The planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and can be seen without a telescope.

Ancient civilizations called these bright lights "planets" as they traveled across the sky. "Planet" is Greek for "Wanderer." Neptune and Uranus are also part of this party but can only be seen with a telescope.

Venus will be at its brightest this weekend. Saturn will appear between Venus and the horizon. Look overhead for the super white and bright Jupiter. Mars appears less bright and red in color. Mercury stops by near the end of the month.

Saturn sinks lower in the sky each night after sunset. While Mercury will briefly join Saturn later in February in the after-sunset glow, both planets will be too low (only 10 degrees above the horizon) and faint for most observers to spot, according to NASA.

Look to the Southwest to find Venus and Saturn and scan South to Southeast. 

If you miss the planet parade this time, another one will take place in late August and will party just before sunrise.

SIDEKICKS: King Midget II * The Purosange & Mazda's CX30

Growing up on Long Island, I was immersed in car culture. My enthusiasm was fueled by a gift from my Dad when I was 9 years old--a King Midget II. I've been a 'driver' ever since. Mazda's Ryo Yanagisawa was influenced by Ferrari designs as a young boy and it shows in his CX30 design, don't you think? The Purosange has 715 HP and base price is $428k. You can save about $400k with Ryo's CX30. What's your favorite ride?
