Don’t change your Oil every 3,000 Miles

Unless you like to pay money for things you don’t need.  Every 5,000 (for city driving) to 7,500 (for highway drivers) is plenty.  That sticker Jiffy Lube puts in your car is just to get overzealous planners to fear that their car will die if they don’t return it to their shop in 3 months.  Which is bubkis.

And if you really want to save money, ride a bike or walk to work. 

I’ll Buy That for a Dollar

Next time you find yourself with cash in your wallet or purse, imagine this concept from designboom.  They even thought out each denomination.  Anyways, it’s not going to remotely happen but designboom puts together a cool case.  I’ll take 1,000 please.
