Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy?

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy? This is the age-old question. Ford or Chevy? Ford lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Chevy, and Chevy lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Ford. Fortunately, this type of mindset is falling by the wayside as the new millennial generation is growing. Many of them do not share the rivalry that their fathers and grandfathers shared between these two makes of pickup trucks. This has a lot to do with the fact that there are many other popular makes and models of pickup trucks such as Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota. People have more options now than they did 30 to 40 years ago. This is a good thing because it breaks people from those ingrained stereotypes. So, if you are looking for a great, reliable, but still luxurious truck, look no further. We have the perfect one for you.

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 never thought I would say this, but I found a cute “frog,” and I want one, and I do not mean a tadpole. I mean a Baldi Frog. The Baldi Frog is Italy’s answer to traffic and congestion. The tiny car weighs less than one thousand pounds which means there are no bells and whistles with this little guy. You can expect fiberglass body panels and a canvas sunroof. The doors have no inner panels, so the windows slide back and forth instead of the up and down movement we are used to. The vehicle’s dashboard only contains a single gauge – a speedometer – and a few unlabeled lights. One of the lights lets you know when you are running low on fuel, but you better remember which one. The key goes in the dash, but the starter is a nondescript lever on the floor next to the shifter....
