Are Thinking About Downsizing Your Vehicle?

Having a large vehicle is wonderful if you have a large family, but once everyone is gone and you and your spouse are left with an empty nest, it may be nice to downsize to a vehicle that is not only smaller but one that makes sense depending on your situation. While having a big SUV is nice because of how spacious it is, it can also be uneconomical. Smaller vehicles can benefit from lower repair costs, such as tires or breaks because they don’t cost as much. Downsizing to a smaller vehicle can possibly put you in a better financial position which can free up extra money to put into other investments. Depending on where you live, work and regularly drive to, owning a smaller car can be a lot better for driving, especially if you don’t need to make those drives to practice, to and from school, and so on. Many people enjoy their large vehicle but not the hefty monthly payment. Downsizing may decrease your monthly payments and possibly insurance premiums. With that being said, don’t make the rash trade-in decision that will hurt you in the long run. Be sure to do your research to figure out what works for you.

Downsizing to a Car

Whenever you are deciding which car to downsize to it is important to choose a car that fits you and your needs. Just because you’re downsizing does not mean you have to choose an old granny car. You can always get a sports car like a Mustang or a Camaro which are popular and fun to drive. Downsizing does not mean downgrade. You can have a vehicle that is easy to drive, easy and affordable to maintain, and great on gas. Choose a car that you and your spouse will enjoy to drive.

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...
