PSI = pounds per square inch

This is the amount of pressure in your tires.

I'm not gonna rip the OP but this is why cars break down and car accidents happen. People need to be more educated when your driving a 3000 pound brick down the freeway. By law all people should be forced to change their own oil, understand how a motor works, and take a test on things about your car like warning signs and how it drives. Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also what could splatter me and my bike all over the freeway.

This goes for everyone from a middle aged lady in a Camry to some young rich kid in his Ferrari. It shouldn't matter what you drive. You should still know what's going on around you.

He said his car was an '06. It's all at his fingertips. He just doesn't know it as he hasn't read (or comprehended) the manual that he got with his car.
Hopefully after this thread, he will spend a couple days with his manual discovering his car and everything it will do. It will be like getting a new car all over again.

OP, Enjoy your new car. Roll the windows down with the remote or the key in the door. Calculate your mileage, Learn how far you really can go on a full tank of gas, Find all the hidden compartments, Learn how to make that ****ty dipstick tell you if you are burning oil or not, Discover the emergency quick-release pull for the hatch that is located under the rear strut, and try out the MP3 player in the radio(if you have a Touring or GT).

And if nothing else, it's just a good story----It may become a Chistmas tradition to read it to the family around a roaring fire

Oh lord. And you sound like such a nice guy.

Your gauge showed you needed air in a tire, an air compressor in your garage saves a trip to the gas station for air.
Another handy route is a 5 gallon air storage tank that you fill at the gas station and have on hand in your garage. Doesn't work well with tractor tires though.

Remember to not overinflate your tires. The psi should be 35.

Tools are like guns. You don't need them all the time, but one day you will.
