You know how the new cars and trucks have a computer to tell you when
something is wrong? They check a multitude of things in the engine and
sometimes when they can't find anything but they know your car dealer
needs a little extra cash, it gives you the signal: SERVICE ENGINE
SOON!

That's right, that annoying light on your dash panel comes on despite
the fact that the engine sounds just fine, the automobile is just
purring perfectly. Well, I don't want to be paying some local car
dealer just to reset the computer so I came up with my Duct Tape Tip
of the Week.

You see, you trace a circle on the duct tape about the size of a
quarter. Cut out the circle of Duct Tape and place it neatly over the
annoying SERVICE ENGINE SOON light. The silvery tape looks just like a
knob from your radio or other automotive devices. It blends right in
and that troublesome light goes away- wicked smart!
