 The other day, I retrieved my motorcycle battery. Naturally, I tested the battery voltage, hoping for the best (it’s 5 years old). As you may know, our vehicles operate at 12 volts, just like motorcycles.

    Back in the day of the so-called "Slush Buckets" of the eighty's, we replaced transmissions regularly. Here in Pennsylvania, the typical auto transmission would get a real workout trying to keep the underpowered vehicle moving at a respectable speed. The varying hills and...
