Chuckles is an engineer who designs electronic equipment for the entertainment industry, living in car mad Southern California. The writer’s interest in cars runs from about age four, and does most basic car maintenance up to and including replacing head gaskets. Chuckles is not associated with any car company, dealer or other organization that makes money from cars. This page advocates safe driving and getting from point A to point B with the minimum of fuss, bother and expense. You may ask what I drive? A 2005 Chevy Cavalier my daughter has taken off to college and a 1988 Dodge Aries station wagon bought in 1993. I tend to keep my cars for a very long time.
