No leeches or medieval barbers were involved in this tutorial. Manufacturers recommend replacing your brake fluid every three years or so because most fluid deteriorates with use. Also, its affinity ?for water reduces the fluid?s heat resistance and can cause brake-system corrosion. Keep Reading: How To: Bleed Your Brakes

Last year we sent former executive editor Mark Gillies off to Virginia City, Nevada, to run a Dodge Viper ACR in the Spectre 341 Challenge, a 5.2-mile wide-open-throttle hill climb up twisty Nevada state route 341, in the rocky hills about 20 minutes east of the state capital in Carson City. Gillies managed to duck [...]

That being a presenter on the hit TV BBC show Top Gear is the dream job of nearly a third of British men isn't surprising in the least. After all, what red-blooded male wouldn't relish the opportunity to drive the very latest (and often enough, the very fastest) automobiles every single day of their lives? And who wouldn't love to travel to the most distant and beautiful places on the planet while acting out a slew of ridiculous stunts all involving cars, trucks or motorcycles? And, naturally, who wouldn't want to be paid good money to do it?

If there's any surprise to the survey results of nearly 1,400 men, it's that a Top Gear gig didn't win by a wider margin - 29 percent of responders named it their top choice, while the next most popular dream gig was "Video games tester" with 25 percent, followed by "Professional sportsman" with 24 percent. Interestingly, Formula One driver only netted fifth place with 19 percent of the voting.

Yep, Top Gear presenter has a pretty nice ring to it. But here's the real question: Which Top Gear presenter would you want to be?

Consider that the UK show has a very defined set of hosts. There's the grizzly old veteran Jeremy Clarkson, who's more opinionated than anyone this side of a Tea Party organizer. He's joined by the too-smart-for-his-own-good James May (affectionately referred to as Captain Slow) and finally the cute, cuddly and very short Richard Hammond, who offers up plenty of comic relief that is all too often at his own expense. Oh, and let's not forget The Stig... the masked racing driver who never gets to show his face and is fired if he ever reveals his true identity.

So, we ask you, dear reader: Which Top Gear presenter would you most like to be?

Unless you've been living in tech-exile for the last 24 hours, you're undoubtedly aware of Spotify's launch in the U.S. The music streaming service has been going strong in Europe for the last two years and after a series of protracted negotiations with the music industry, Stateside audiophiles can finally get their all-you-can-eat fix by joining the service with free, $5 or $10 monthly plans.

Part of Spotify's revenue model is advertising, and Chevrolet has hopped in to be one of the services first supporters - and the only automaker to partner with the company at launch.

While that doesn't mean much from a music-consumption point-of-view, General Motors' place on the Spotify bandwagon is a clear indication that the automaker is actively interested in bringing new music streaming services to its vehicles. Spotify integration would be a huge leap forward and we wouldn't be surprised to learn that the forthcoming Sonic will be the first product from the General to incorporate the service. Full details about Chevy's partnership with Spotify in the press release below the fold, and hit up the Sonic's Facebook page for a free invite to the service.

Is parking expensive because a city is attractive? Or is a city attractive because it has expensive parking? Whether cause or effect, there seems to be a clear correlation.
