Buying A Car: What Questions Should You Ask?
Buying a new car can be a stressful experience whether you are a novice or a veteran of the practice. The interesting thought, however, is that it doesn't have to be so stressful.

Failure to do this, however, can result in you purchasing a car that you don't really like and having to sell it at a loss of cost down the road. In this article, we'll go over some of those questions you can ask prior to purchase and why you should ask them.
Spring Cleaning: Don't Forget Your Car!
Nothing says "fresh start" quite like spring does. Maybe it's the blooming trees or the chirping birds, or perhaps it's the sun that seems to be shining just a bit brighter. With this freshness in the air, people often begin spring cleaning, eager for a clean slate to start the new season.
While backyards, closets, and bathrooms tend to get lots of spring cleaning attention, there's something most of us use heavily that often gets overlooked: our vehicles.

Halloween Driving Safety Tips
We think driving during Halloween is best to be avoided, but if staying in is not in the cards then be on the lookout for parades of little goblins, ghouls, witches, and superheroes. In light of the approaching holiday, we want to remind everyone to drive safe and keep to the below guidelines.
1. Keep your eyes on the lookout for little creatures and superheroes.
Children can forget to look both ways when candy is on the mind, so keep your attention on the road at all times.
2. Improve reaction time by driving slow.
Speed limits and solid white lines exist for a reason. When you drive fast, it takes longer to stop.
3. There is no need to pass other vehicles.
As mentioned in number 2, slower is better, especially with all the foot traffic and cars on the road during Halloween. If you expect...
