I am wearing 3 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, two layers of socks and fingerless high sleeve woolly gloves. And I am STILL cold. Being sick sucks.

Beautiful Salina, Kansas

Read about fun in Salina, Kansas where art reigns supreme and museums are plentiful along with fun dining options.

Salina Kansas was home to the Kanza Indians, and is the westernmost town on the Smokey River Trail. Salina is where the Red Power Winter Show was held. While there, my husband Keith and I explored this fair city and found a lot to love. The winter show was held at the Hilton Garden Inn, a great place that accommodated our collector crowd. It was fun seeing the hotel with Farmall tractors parked…

Recognizing the 5 Warning Signs of Engine Failure

The heart and soul of any car lies in its engine. A well-maintained engine extends the lifespan of your vehicle and promises peak performance. The thought of an engine giving out without warning can be frightening. Suddenly, your plans to get somewhere important are put on hold, and the potential repair costs can add up. Fortunately, there are clear signs of engine failure to follow up on and avoid the sudden peril of a damaged car. Dive deeper to learn more about the indications.

Check Engine Light

Every car comes with a check engine light located on the dashboard. This engine failure indicator becomes active whenever there is a problem with the vehicle's engine due to a malfunctioning component or a faulty sensor.

Nowadays, cars are equipped with an onboard self-diagnostic system that serves as a reporting mechanism. This system immediately alerts the driver when there is an issue, big or small. If you encounter a warning, it's crucial to have your car inspected by a professional to determine the severity of the engine failure risk factors.

Smoke and Exhaust Not Working Properly

During the winter months, it's not uncommon for a vehicle to emit some smoke. However, your car might consistently release black, blue, or thick white smoke while the engine is running. In that case,  it can be one of the top 5 signs of engine trouble. 

Black smoke is an indication of fuel supply issues or an improper fuel mixture. Meanwhile, gray smoke suggests that petrol or diesel is entering the combustion chamber.

If thick white smoke is present, it could indicate the burning of engine oil alongside the fuel. Don't ignore these signs of engine failure, and have your car checked by an expert.

Frequent Overheating

A majority of modern vehicles come with an engine temperature gauge to assess the engine's performance. The optimal engine temperature is indicated by the needle resting in the middle. However, if you notice the needle creeping towards the fiery red spectrum, it might be one of the engine failure indicators.

This overheating usually occurs due to a faulty cooling system. It's important to address this issue promptly, as ignoring an overheated engine can result in complete engine failure.

Poor Performance and Power Loss

Losing power while accelerating or failing to reach the car's top speed could indicate significant signs of engine failure. This is often due to a lack of fuel and air reaching the engine or a clogged fuel filter hindering the fuel flow. Address vehicle power and performance issues promptly to prevent any further engine failure complications.

Odd Noises

The top 5 signs of engine trouble can be various noises, such as backfiring, hissing, popping, and knocking. These sounds may indicate complications within the combustion process. Engine knocking occurs when pockets of air and fuel ignite on their own without being ignited by a spark plug. This can result in a distinct knocking sound from the engine and can lead to considerable damage if not addressed promptly.

Increased Fuel Consumption

A properly functional car will have low engine oil needs. But if your car suddenly starts consuming more fuel than normal, it can be one of the top 5 signs of engine trouble. Growing engine oil requirements of your vehicle can be due to a separate reason. But when it happens alongside other signs mentioned here, particularly with the engine light on, it is a clear indication of engine damage.

Remember that low engine oil levels mean that your vehicle is not getting adequate lubrication. If you want to prevent engine damage from low oil, you should check its level frequently.

Fluid Leaks

Have you been noticing engine oil patches around the place where your car is parked? If it's happening, it might be because of a leak in the gasket or oil pan. This leakage will lead to low engine oil levels and cause damage to your vehicle. Therefore, it is crucial for you to control fuel leaks and prevent engine damage from low oil.

Regular Maintenance Tips

After learning about the different signs of engine failure, you need to focus on the following maintenance tips:

Conclusion

No one wants the surprise of a failed engine in their vehicles, and it is possible to avoid it by knowing the telltale signs of engine damage. Whether it's overheating or a fuel leak, you shouldn't ignore even the most subtle signs of engine damage. Moreover, remember to fuel your vehicle at the right time to prevent engine damage from low oil. Lastly, choose high-performance engine oil from Gulf Oil to keep your vehicle in the best shape for years.

Lincoln Versailles, 1977. A badge engineered version the US Ford Granada, the Versailles marked the first time since 1960 that Lincoln offered two sedan lines. It had been created both in response to the 1970s fuel crisis that had increased demand for smaller cars and to compete with Cadillac's Seville. Sales were hampered by its similarity to the cheaper Mercury and Ford stablemates and it was discontinued in 1980. Fun fact, the Versailles was the first North America series production car to offer halogen headlights.

The space program took a whole month off of development after Tektite's accident, so that Slate could have the time to perfect their leg. They'd already been working on articulated flaps for in-atmosphere steering for Feldspar's ship - conserves fuel to not use jets for that - and hey, an artificial ankle is just another type of flap to articulate, right?

Gossan wasn't so sure - especially with Slate's full-tilt approach to experimental engineering, at odds with Tektite's trepidation - but all of the founders agreed that the program could wait until their neighbour was back on their feet. And to Slate's credit, Gossan had never seen them show as much sheer methodical focus, before or since. This was somebody's limb here, after all: their ability to move of their own accord, their ability to get out and about in the community and do the things they love, their ability to still feel like their body is their own. Slate was hardly about to phone it in, or risk any wild experiments when it came to Tektite's comfort and requirements.

It took several iterations, and several difficult test walks around the town square gripping Slate's arm, but together the pair of them worked out a final model that's been serving Tektite well to this day.

(...Of course, the dedication and focus that so pleasantly surprised Gossan only made Slate's awkward avoidance of them after their own accident sting even more. Was it really that hard on their poor guilty conscience, to think about doing something similar for a friend, instead of darting their gaze away just short of Gossan's face?)

I have a request for people with experience with wheelchairs, if you personally use/used them or have people in your life that do: PLEASE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM TO ME! TELL ME ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH THEY CAN SUCK! IN GENERAL OR SPECIFICS!

I need this information for a project I'm doing in my design class, wherein my group is going to attempt to prototype a wheelchair with both offroad and indoor capabilities, per say, that is still reasonably light and inexpensive. I'm asking this of you all on tumblr because to begin our project, we need to familiarize ourselves with the nature of this problem. We want our solution to actually be made with the opinions of wheelchair users in mind. I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could reblog or comment with any gripes they have about wheelchairs, especially in relation to their maneuverability, but anything works! Thank you so much for your time!
