Spring is coming to East Petersburg, and with it, those glorious April showers that not only bring May flowers, but fog up your windshield until you can hardly see!

Fortunately, you know the climate control settings to de-fog windows faster... but sometimes your air conditioning goes on the fritz, and you'd rather your windshield never fogged up at all.

Did you know shaving cream works just as well to keep fog off your windshield as most anti-fogging treatments you can buy?

Simply spread the shaving cream on the inside of the windshield, and wipe it clean again. It will…

Would you give up control? Per AAA survey, 75% would be afraid to ride in self-driving car. https://t.co/MkyNwzrYBJ pic.twitter.com/DPar0OE2Qn

AAA uncovered the shocking truth about self-driving cars: people are terrified of them. Just over 80 percent of women surveyed, and 67 percent of men said they would be afraid of riding in a self-driving car (and let's face it, the number for men is only lower because they're too proud to admit when they're scared).

This means automakers are going to have a hard sell…

Autotrader's Eric Lanford says, "For most people, choosing the color of their next vehicle is a matter of taste." However, many will choose lighter or darker car colors because of the perception that black cars get hotter in the sun.

In the summertime, you might want a white car to keep you cool, though cold winters might also tempt you toward a black car.

How true is it that color effects a vehicle's cabin temperature?

Very.

Autotrader took two identical Toyota vehicles, and let them sit in the sun. At the end of two hours, the black SUV…

Higher fuel economy, savings at the pump, better public health and more in our vehicle report: http://t.co/iMUFcVfnOE pic.twitter.com/mfNKzGK8l9

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2015 Fuel Economy Guide, there are several things you can be doing to improve your gas mileage, regardless of your vehicle's baseline mpg rating.

One is combining trips. Say you have to go to the grocery store, and the bank, and pick up your kids from school. If you pick up your kids, drive home, go to the store…

We're all concerned for the environment these days, and we all try to do our part. Nothing says "green" quite like an electric car made out of a tree.

Environmentalism, however, isn't what the creators of the "Cedar Rocket" set out to promote.

It all started, "not as a joke," Bryan Reid Sr. said, "but as something very light. You put a log on a couple of axles and 'ha ha.'" Reid stars in the

Winter is that special time of year where you trudge through the snowy, slushy parking lot, and drive home in your car whilst your boots melt puddles full of salt and grime.

Any other time of year, you might wipe your shoes off before getting in the car, but what choice do you have when it's freezing out, and everywhere is messy?

The next day, sure enough, your boot-puddles have dried, leaving chalky rings and blotches behind.

That's okay.

Here's how to reverse the damage:

To recap the video:

1. Vacuum the carpet
2. Saturate stained area with vinegar-water…

Mark Rober has a master's degree in mechanical engineering. For nine years, he used his degree working for NASA.

He's a scientist through and through.

So when it comes to all the myths and rumors about how to defog your car window in the morning, he decided to science it.

Mark explains that hot air can absorb more moisture than cold air. Therefore, the fastest way to evaporate up fog or frost is with as much hot, dry air as possible.

That means: put the fan on maximum, to really get that wind blowing. Make sure it's…

The year 2015 is nearly behind us-- the year that Doc Brown and Marty McFly visited in Back to the Future Part II. They had flying cars in that version of 2015.

So, when are we going to see the real thing?

At the rate technology was developing in the first half of the 20th century, it seemed like a sure-thing that personal flying vehicles would be available by the second half.

However, just because something is projected, doesn't mean it's going to happen.

One of the biggest problems is power. To get a car to hover in…

Eric the Car Guy has been using his skills as a mechanic to provide car repair advice to YouTube for over half a decade. So, what does a professional mechanic say you should be doing to protect your car, and yourself, this winter?

1. Have the right tires. Your tires are what gives you traction, so it is vital to make sure you have at least 2/32 inch tread depth. Having all-season tires, snow tires, or studded tires will improve your traction as well.

2. Get your repairs and maintenance done before snow starts falling. Especially if you are…

When you're driving 5,000lbs of truck with a large, torquey engine, fuel efficiency isn't the first quality that comes to mind.

However, when you're not hauling a heavy load, you may want to get the most miles out of every gallon. How do you do that?

Rumor has it, you can improve aerodynamics by lowing your tailgate (when the bed is empty, of course). This claim is put to the test on a Ford F-150 in a wind tunnel.

Though putting the tailgate down makes intuitive sense, aerodynamics is a tricky branch of physics. In fact…
