Auto Mechanic: Tools for the Auto Mechanic in You is Frankie D’Antoni’s excellent automotive repair blog.  I stumbled across the site the other day and was immediately struck by the simply stated, practical advice Frankie offers about taking care of your car. 

When I read his entry on how to flush your car’s cooling system I knew I had to share this wonderful site with all of you do-it-yourself mechanics out there!  I was particularly happy to see that the first step in that tutorial was this one:

Step 1: Wait until you have a cool engine. If you’ve been driving, then it’s always best (not to mention safer) to wait for your engine to cool down before you start working under your vehicle’s hood.

We all know how I feel about the importance of letting your car cool down before messing with your cooling system.
