Often we receive messages about how we are bound to get ourselves killed because school buses are supposedly unsafe.

Shopping at a salvage yard can be an intimidating process for the first timer. Understandably, the whole concept of rummaging through the discarded hulks of vehicles that once where but are no more is an unnatural activity for most of us, but do it once and you will quickly learn…

I have a 2013 Honda Fit. It was the first car I ever purchased (all on my little lonesome) and the first new car I’ve ever owned. I love it. When we moved from Florida to Texas we were originally planning on towing the Honda with us. However, we weren’t…
