Calories: 98 • Fat: 4.5 g • Protein: 1.3 g • Carb: 14 g • Fiber: 0.7 g • Sugar: 10.7
Sodium: 13.8 mg

Ingredients:

• 1 medium banana
• 1 cup white chocolate
• 8 mini chocolate chips
• 4 popsicle sticks

Directions:

Cut banana in half lengthwise, then in half to make four quarters.

Insert popsicle sticks into bananas, and freeze bananas on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. 
When the bananas are frozen, fill a coffee mug with chocolate. Melt chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the chocolate is melted and soft.

Dip the bananas one at a time into the chocolate, scraping off the excess chocolate from the back of the banana, and place it on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Quickly add the chocolate chips for the eyes before the chocolate hardens (you have to work quickly here). 

Return to the freezer until frozen and ready to eat. Eat frozen! 

Fall Maintenance Tips!

Fall is here and winter is coming! Here are some maintenance tips to keep your car looking good and running smoothly: 

• Wax your car
• Replace carpeted mats with rubber or waterproof mats
• Replace your windshield wipers if they are more than six months old
• Top off your windshield wiper fluid (if it’s especially cold, use fluid with de-icer)
• Check your radiator coolant level when your car has been idle for a while (never open the cap when the car is hot)
• Check all hoses for wear or leaks
• Make sure all your lights (headlamps, brake lights, tail lights, signals) are working

Rear-Wheel Drive, Front-Wheel Drive, 4-Wheel Drive, and All-Wheel Drive Simplified.

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) cars have the back wheels pushing the car along. Most race cars have RWD because the driver can still steer if the wheels break loose and, in straight acceleration, a car tilts back, giving more traction to the rear wheels.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) cars have the front wheels pulling the car along. Front wheel drive cars are safer to drive in the snow and rain than rear wheel drive cars because there is more weight over the drive wheels, offering better traction. They also typically get better fuel economy.

Four-wheel drive (4WD) cars are different from all wheel drive (AWD) in that four wheel drive is an option from rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive drives all wheels on all surfaces continuously. Four-wheel drive (low mode) offers significant off road driving capability.

The Difference Between a Turbocharger and a Supercharger Simplified.

A turbocharger is simply an engine component that uses a turbine that powers a compressor that blows more air into your engine. A supercharger is directly driven by your engine. They both allow engines to consume more fuel to deliver more power. Also, turbochargers provide more power over a period after accelerating, while superchargers provide more boost immediately when you start to accelerate.
