Tech tip # 9
This tech tip from Hagerty. 
Actually, some of their ideas are pretty good, but this one just cracked me up!! 
I mean, my back is already killing me from contorting myself under the dash and leaning over the engine compartment. I need to extend my arms also!
9. If you want to stay cleaner when working on cars, work with your arms extended as far out as possible. This helps keep the dirt and grease off your clothes.

Hmmmm.....
I wonder how many insurance guys work on their own car anyhow. All the insurance guys I know (my great uncle was one of them) wouldn't know which end of the dipstick to look at or why.
I think the last place I'd get car maintence tips from would be from a guy in the insurance industry. Now if the tips were related to what color leather to order with the new Rolls Royce Corniche or Silver Cloud, then I might listen.
