Motor 8SVi ESCORT PONY Page 4 NORTHWEST HERALD Section C Friday. July M, H»S Wheels 'Preventive medicine' eliminates problems A thousand miles from home, car loaded with family and vaca­ tion gear, the engine stalls and won't start again. Fortunately, the towing service is available to take you to a repair shop where their diagnostic equip­ ment pinpoints your trouble. Your astute technician soon has you fixed up and on your way, wishing you had taken the time to have the car tuned-up before leaving home. There Ts a direct relationship between car breakdowns and proper maintenance according to George Giek, managing direc­ tor of Automotive Engineering and Road Services Department of the American Automobile Associa­ tion. Last year AAA alone rendered emergency road service nearly 17 million times in North America. From this experience, Giek told a convention of the Society of Automotive Engineers, many of AAA's 80 percent of maintenance related road service calls cou ld have been prevented if owners h a d p e r f o r m e d rou t ine , on- t ime preventive car care. In AAA's diagnostic programs, says Giek, it is not unusual to find owners who don't even check the oil level for the first 7,500 miles of the car's life. Car Care Council concurs, reporting a high percentage of motorists who are negligent about keep­ ing their cars in tune. Among 1 ,200 ca r owners who responded to a survey by the Counc i l r egard ing their driving and vehi- c le main tenance habits, 38 percent said they believe their cars need or may need a tune-up. Engines in th i s neglected condition, says the Council, run poorly, waste gas and are hard to start. They also will emit harmful exhaust pollutants into the air. Peak engine per­ formance Is critical when the car is sub­ jected to heavier-than- normal loads for long stretches at highway speeds. Down-sized cars, with smaller engines, often carry the added weight and wind resistance of car top carriers. An engine in borderline condition may not have ade­ quate power reserve under these condi­ tions. Car Care Council recommends, in addi­ tion to a geneal check­ up and servicing of the car prior to a vacation trip, that the engine be given a diagnostic check and necessary tune-up services be performed.

When they're healthy, they feel like taking on the world. When they're not, they can be a real drag. So before you leave on a trip, find out whether or not your vehicle is up to the task. Look over this checklist from Car Care Council. Then give your car a good "physical." After all, if your car doesn't en­ joy the trip, chances are you won't either.

Whether it's swimming, fishing, or surfing, our nation's lakes and beaches have plenty to offer vac­ ationers this year. Bodyboarding or bodysurfing, as many people know it, is becoming increasingly popular along the beach. In barely a decade, body- boarding has vaulted from one man's recreation--that of surfer/ inventor Tom Morey--to one of the most exciting and creative forms of wave riding in the world. Young people are riding the waves in style on three-and-a-half foot polyure- thane boards first developed by Morey. The finless Morey Boogie® Bodyboards offer fun for beginner and expert body surfers alike.
