Every Thursday nationally known automotive columnist Bob Sikorsky
checks in with a new installment of "Drive It Forever,"
his fact-filled, informative and frequently funny Q&A column
on car maintenance.
Readers across America and beyond turn to Sikorsky for help, whether
they want to extend the life of their 1968 Chevy or they're worried
about a rattle under the hood of their 2002 BMW. A popular feature
is "The `Drive It Forever' High-Mileage Club," in which
readers share their own secrets to keeping a car running smoothly.
As the best-selling author of such books as "How to Get More
Miles Per Gallon" (1991), "From Bumper to Bumper"
(1991) and "Drive It Forever: Secrets to Long Automobile
Life" (1997), Sikorsky draws on decades of experience testing
cars, repairing cars and serving as an automotive consultant to
government and industry in fielding readers' questions on anything
and everything under the automotive sun.
In response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Sikorsky launched the
widely praised "American Drivers Fight Back," a column-within-a-column
featuring tips on how to get better gas mileage and reduce America's
dependence on Mideastern oil.
Not every driver needs Bob Sikorsky's help every day, but legions
of readers are glad to know he's there when they need him!
