Popular Mechanics have made car care and maintenance  \u003Cbr>a central component of the magazine.From the very beginning,we understood just how pas-  \u003Cbr>F  \u003Cbr>sionate readers were about their cars,and just how far they would go to protect,repair,and  \u003Cbr>maintain their beloved vehicles.How else to explain an executive trading in his workday suit for a  \u003Cbr>pair of overalls and spending his Saturday afternoons hunkered down under the hood of his car?  \u003Cbr>For some of our readers,saving money is no doubt a major motivation.But for most,working on  \u003Cbr>their cars is a labor of love,pure and simple.That,and they want to make sure the repair is done  \u003Cbr>right.The cars may have changed over the years,but the dedication of readers has been a constant.  \u003Cbr>And Popular Mechanics has been a partner all the way,delivering the hands-on information car  \u003Cbr>enthusiasts need to get the job done right.
