Do You Drive Your Vehicles Until The Wheels Fall Off?

Do You Drive Your Vehicles Until The Wheels Fall Off?
Buying a new car can be a chore. Many people would rather have teeth pulled than to go shopping for a new car. The oftentimes pleasurable experience can be the reason that many people drive their vehicles long past the expiration date. Some people put more money into fixing their old vehicles than what they would spend buying a new, used vehicle. I know because I was one of these people. The amount of money I spent over the years in rental cars while my car was in the shop, mechanic fees, and the cost of parts far exceeded the amount of money I could spend in getting a new, used car that is more reliable and newer.

Why Pick Up A Car Payment When You Don’t Already Have One?

This was my philosophy for a very long time. I paid my car off and did not want to pick up a car payment. I would think of all the money I thought I was saving while not having a car payment which would keep me from thinking of getting a new car. This is not sound thinking because after I added up all the money I spent trying to keep my old car running coupled with the amount of work I missed when my car was in the shop, I would have been better off buying a new car. But again, who can afford a new car?

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Williams Group Auto - Seatbelt Statistics | Used Car Dealership in Abilene

  The Importance of Wearing Your Seatbelt When doing our research into buying a new vehicle, we shop around, go for a test drive, look into the car's history, find repair records, and other countless things. A few other things we look for might not be as important in the purchase process but more of a personal preference, such as color, whether it has Bluetooth, a sunroof, and so on. Either way, it is safe to say that we all want the same thing, to feel safe in our vehicle. When it comes to our safety, seat belts are one of the most important devices. They are important in our everyday lives to us and our passengers. While some incidents are rear-ended accidents, others are scarier. And what is more frightening is that in 2016 there were 37,461 people killed in motor accidents, and 48% of them were not wearing a seat belt. Not wearing or improperly wearing a seat belt can have fatal consequences, and to spread awareness, the State of Texas introduced the program Click it, or Ticket...
