Inexpensive DC clamp-meters use hall-effect sensors to read the magnetic field on the clamp core and are sensitive to their orientation relative to ambient magnetic fields. You need to zero them as close to the final measurement position and orientation as possible so the amount of bias being zero'd is as close as possible to what the meter will see wherever it is going. The zeroing is only valid for the location and orientation it was done at. If you need to take a measurement in a different location or orientation, you need to check and likely set your zero again.

Bought an aluminum hose nozzle to use at my Florida beach house. Left the brand new barely used nozzle outside on a table under the lanai so it couldn't get rained on. Six months later it was so corroded it was unusable. I now keep my hose nozzles in a drawer inside the beach house. A similar hose nozzle left outside in the rain and winter in Atlanta wouldn't have as much corrosion in five years as the one at my Florida beach house had in six months. Everything corrodes fast near the beach. Not so bad inland though. And a car left at my beach house will not corrode as fast as it would if it stayed in upstate New York where the roads get salted year round.

Never warmed up enough to evaporate condensation (or fuel?) in oil sump, made some kind of acid that broke down the oil, didn’t know to change oil by mile OR time. Bye-bye engine.

I had mice nest in my wife’s car after it sat for a period of time. I work from home, but on one fateful day I was headed to a meeting, all spiffied up. I got in the car, cranked it up, turned the air on, and was blasted in the face with mouse nest confetti. I was sweating a little from a hot shower, so it all stuck on my face. This was a pivotal moment in my war against mice. I could hear them celebrating. I harnessed my anger and left no mouse standing in the following weeks. To top it off, at the same time I was confettied, the brake pedal slammed to the floor with absolutely no pressure. That turned out to be a corroded brake line. The short one that runs from the main line to the rear wheel drum cylinder. At the time I attributed it to the mice. True story.

Honorable mentions: Be Sure to start the car & take it for a 10 minute or more drive especially when cold (essentially operating temperature) because Your oil as so Other fluids will also break down even synthetic. Also oil rather staying on crucial parts (like it does for; synthetic lasts longer) you're going to get even more of a dry start which wears out the engine faster. So by just a once a week 20 min drive you'll keep the multiple fluids & crucial parts moving so you'll continue to get the most out of your vehicle.

I used to d maintenance work at the Y.M.C.A here in Asheboro North Carolina. They had a full size bus. Nobody liked it, so I would drive it about once a week. It had bias belted tires on it. It would go down the road for a while after it had sit for a week going bump, bump,. After the tires would warm up and get round again, it would ride pretty good.

If you live near or on the beach, it would probably be a good idea to have your vehicle oil sprayed. Like we do here in the "Great White North". Stops rust from road salt. Make sure you've got a good coat of wax on the paint as well.

Hey Scotty could you please talk about the waste of money GPS tracking units dealerships try to sneakily sell you that’s already installed in the vehicle? Towbin Dodge here in Las Vegas said they charge to remove it. It was so easy for me to simply unplug it, what a bunch of liars. They charged me $300 for the unit which is installed in all their vehicles! They refused to give me money back.
