How To Gift A Car
There are many different types of gifts you can give. You can give stoner gifts to your favorite pothead. You can give Rick and Morty gifts to your favorite squancher.

'Stop! We're Going to Crash'
It’s been four days and I still can’t believe I crashed my car. Literally, I just whammed that car’s rear end as if I had intentionally done it; as if it was Fast and Furious and I was Vin Diesel trying to rough up some bad guys. You ever wonder whether he stops before he crashes his car and worries about his insurance? Probably not.

10 Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Car
Spring is just around the corner, which means it's time to get rid of all the winter clothing and clean everywhere in preparation for spring! Since the warmer season is coming shortly, our house needs to be prepped for the season. But aside from our wardrobe and house, our cars are certainly the ones that need deep cleaning.

10 Useful Cleaning Hacks for Your Car
So many of us find it to be such a hassle to clean our cars. Since they get so dirty often, having to clean it every now and then is seriously draining. Not to mention that we have to spend money on carwashes whenever our car gets the slightest bit dirty... which is about once every two weeks. But it's not just only the exterior, the interior of the car gets really... really dirty. There are even spots in our car where we forget to clean. If you're like me, there's trash all over the place. In the cupholders, the floor, in-between the seats, everywhere. While most of the time it's me making the mess, but my friends are pretty messy, too. Curse them...

Tips for Buying a Car with Bad Credit
True story: back before I had a credit score of 750, I was a person who had serious financial struggles. My ex caused me to lose my job. I just had my only child and was too sick to work. I had to default on loans in order to make sure that I had enough cash to feed us. At my lowest credit score, I had around a 525. That's really, really bad.

Win a Car for £20, Maybe....
We've all seen the posts on Facebook or other social media platforms and either know someone or have ourselves participated in a car raffle. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to win a £20k+ car for £20? I've done it, twice in fact but been unlucky so far but would I do it again? Maybe, but armed with as much information as I could gather to ensure that what I am entering is not an illegal lottery and the vehicle was as it seems.

How To Clean Your Engine Bay
It's okay, some people have the cluttered bedroom that never gets de-cluttered, yet even more have a kitchen that looks disastrous if at all even a kitchen. But, when it comes to vehicle care and car's prolonged livelihood, the engine bay is the one place you do not want to ignore. Keeping that lovely bay clean is actually one of the many things people tend to not do when driving a car for a long period of time. This not only damages the car, but also leaves it in a rather poor condition for too long a time, which you simply want to avoid.

How to Make Your Car Last Longer
Ideally, There's plenty of ways to make your car last longer than normal (which can be anywhere from 90,000–200,000 miles). It all comes down to responsibility of your ride and keeping a strict basis of monthly to yearly maintenance checks. Even newer cars don't last as long to begin with, no matter what the dealer may boast, or how rugged the vehicle might be. Fact is, car manufactures need their lines of various models to breakdown in the long run, so their sales don't plummet. It's not as indepth as the whole iPhone battery issue, but it's still an understandable concept that should be used as foresight.
