Rewriting History
The most historically inaccurate films of all time.
Let’s be honest for a second – real life isn’t always as interesting as it is portrayed to be in movies. Characters in films never spend a solid 40 minutes trying to figure out online banking or sitting in traffic. It’s no surprise then that many a historically based film had to jazz up a thing or two to get people into the theater.

Car Care: When it’s Your 35,000-Mile Service
Simple tips can help save your investment.
At less than 35,000 miles, most new cars are still under warranty, so anything that breaks prematurely, such as a leaking brake caliper or a burned out wiper motor, should be fixed at no cost.
