The benefits of owning a boring car
As I told you In my recent article, I wrote that owning a collector car has many benefits. Every time you see it, you fall in love with it all over again, and you have your own unique piece of automotive history. But that doesn't mean that regular, everyday cars are bad. Yes, they're not as inspiring or illuminating.Britainbut they also have many positive qualities. Peace of mind and body Owning a restored vintage or limited edition car is wonderful.

Every time you go to the garage, you'll see proof of your dream coming true. Good buy Every time you see that car, something different happens. If you're anything like me, whether it's the…
Review: What’s life like owning a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD
Australians have been obsessed with locally-made pick-up trucks for decades, and even after the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon were discontinued, demand for large pick-up trucks from brands such as Toyota, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Ford and Mazda continued to grow. Last year, the three best-selling new vehicles in Australia were the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max. This is a nation obsessed with trucks, and in 2015, American truck manufacturers began to take notice.
