I recently stumbled upon a blog dedicated to providing consumers with everything they need to know in order to buy an item, use it, and then return said item to the store for a full refund. Sifting through the thousand-word article left me with a funny feeling of mixed emotions I couldn’t quite put my […]
Many people refuse to buy from a buy here, pay here (BHPH) dealership — even if it’s an easier option for them — simply because of what they’ve read online or have heard from friends. High interest rates, cheap cars, and sales associates that are looking to trick you in every word of the contract. Don’t just assume […]
The amount of times I’ve seen or heard people use payload and towing capacity interchangeably is mind-boggling. Heck, even when I first started learning truck-talk, I didn’t give a second thought when swapping the words around. But, they mean two completely different things, and if you think they mean the same thing, then you risk […]
When you’re browsing the used inventory of dealerships and see an alarmingly low-cost vehicle, what’s the first thought that goes through your head? Maybe it’s, “Man, that thing must be a piece of crap,” or “hey, that’s a good deal!” Depending on how you answered that question, you might be on your way to making […]
Bad credit sometimes seems like the end of the world, especially when it comes to car buying. But in life, it’s always important to look at the silver lining.

If you’re a car fanatic, you probably know about Jay Leno and his toys. More recently, you probably know about his relatively new show called “Jay Leno’s Garage.” Well for the upcoming season, he secured a very special guest — Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden. That’s right, turns out the VP has been […]
Are you an off-road enthusiast with a badass off-roading rig? Do you like winning? Are you addicted to big, shiny trophies? Then you’ll want to head over to the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas at the start of November. Why? Because the association is giving away “The Life is Better Off-Road […]
What Chevy dealers near Lisle and across the United States have suspected for years, has finally been proven. The age old battle between the two American automakers can finally be put to rest, along with the vicious rumors that spread like wild fire, thanks to outspoken users of social media. At one point, I might […]
When going to a dealership, there’s a lot on your mind. First and foremost, it’s what type of car you want to buy — sedan, crossover, SUV, truck, compact, hatchback, etc. There’s a lot to choose from, and I get that it’s exciting. But, that’s not what you should be focusing on. You should be […]
I’m not a fan of this newfangled, electronic hiphop, what-have-you music — but when there are luxury cars involved, I tend to get a little excited. An artist called The Weeknd released a new music video back in September for his song “Starboy,” and it featured some sweet luxury cars. While the video itself is […]
