Your Vehicle’s Dashboard Could Save You Walking Around Wyoming

There have been many times I've wondered what the first explorers to reach the Wyoming area thought. There were no cars, no roads, or no towns—but a wide-open area with a large population of animals.

Some may've been on horseback, some in a wagon, but many were on foot. In modern times, if you see someone walking a long distance, they're trying to make a statement, they're getting exercise, or they're vehicle is broken down and they have no other choice.

Taking care of your vehicle is key to ensuring that you're not having to walk to get to where you're going. One way to make sure is to do regular maintenance. Get your oil changed, pay attention to your tires, and add fluids when they're needed.

Another way to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape is to know what the lights on the dashboard mean. This could be a difficult one. If you're like most people, you probably didn't dive into the owner's manual when you brought the car home to find out.

When a light comes on, you jump on Google, and see if you can find the answer to fixing the problem.

Most mechanics will urge you not to let a light just stay on. If a warning light is on, there's a problem with your vehicle. It could be as simple as letting you know your tires are low, or your windshield wiper fluid needs a refill.

Oftentimes, though, it's serious. Check out this diagram that explains what those pesky lights mean. It's a good place to start, to figure out your vehicle's problem.

Now, if you're looking to have fun with people, I've seen this sign in the bathroom of a mechanic's shop—sarcasm at its finest.

This is funny, I don't care who you are. You can buy your own on Amazon.
