Almost 70 percent of American men said they find it easier to care for their cars than their personal health, according to a survey released on Monday.

And 40 percent said they would be more likely to address issues with their car than their health.

health is everything,well,If we aren't in good health,how would we tune up ours cars.Not only that,because of the rising oil and environmental issues ,why don't we just change ours vehicle,maybe we can go to work by bike,then we can not only protect our environment ,but also be good for our health.
