[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: nitrogen in tires--my son put nitrogen in mine 2 years ago. Rotating is the only thing that has had to be done since, and I live where the difference between winter and summer can top 140 degrees.

Questions: why are universal symbols so hard to figure out? I wondered what the movie camera symbol meant (not a camera, it's the engine!) and the temp symbol always looks to me like a tiny sailboat on the waves. The tire symbol looks like a cross between calipers and a horseshoe.

The engine light actually looks like a tiny little cartoon engine when viewed from the side. Which I guess also sorta resembles a movie camera, I guess. As for temp, it’s supposed to be a thermometer immersed in water (coolant) . But yeah, I guess is does sorta look like a little sailboat on waves. Maybe a bout with a flag on it, that’s even better. The tire pressure is the easy one. That’s the “&gt;” symbol (low) followed by a U looking sympbol (more of an Omega actually) that is supposed to represent the cross-sectional view of a tire. For this one, thought they should use an “O” shape, with a flattened bottom, but that’s just me. I guess it’s like seeing animals shapes in clouds. You miss it, but when someone points it out, you’re like “oh yeah, now I see it!”  Lastly, where the hell do you live where the temp is 140 degrees apart winter to summer? Because I wanna make sure I never accidentally go there! [/quote]

Lol North Dakota. The record difference (this is real) was 181 in 1936, 60 below in February and 121 above in July. According to the tourism people, ND is typically the last state people visit who make a point of visiting all 50. [/quote]
