Buying a car or truck as you already know is a big investment. For some of us who don’t own our own house, it is most likely our largest investment. So when we shop for that used car or truck it is natural that we we want to know about the vehicle we are getting. Has it been in an accident? Were there any major repairs done to the vehicle?

These are important questions. A used car dealer may know the history of the vehicle, but most of the time the cars and trucks that you see on a local car dealer lot come from auctions and your dealer will not know the history. At least half of the time you trade in your vehicle it will end up at a dealer auction. And MOST of the time you turn in your leased vehicle it will end up at auction. So how are we supposed to know what happened to this vehicle that we are eying? What am I getting into here?

Automega, an auto accessories website located in San Diego California announced on Monday December 11 2007 the top five auto accessories sold for the current year. Number 5 this year was car tail lights, in which the current customers seem to more interested in the LED Tail Lights that are now offered. Coming in at number four this year are Nerf Bars. Stainless steel nerf bars wont rust, and folks in the midwest and northern states with rust issues surely can appreciate that. Number three this year are lambo door kits. These lambo hinges give you the look and feel of a Lamborghini door which opens up like a gull wing door. They really do get you noticed wherever you are. Coming in at number two this year was car and truck graphics. Installing car decals is very easy, and it’s one of the least expensive upgrades that you can make to your vehicle, and in a matter of minutes you can change your “Plain Jane” vehicle into a faster looking, more custom ride. And topping it out at Number one this year are one of our favorites - Body Kits. Car and Truck body kits will dramatically change the look of your vehicle. If you are looking to get your car looking like its ready for the movie “The Fast and the Furious” or maybe you want to enter the drifting scene, then adding ground effects is one of the first steps you can make to enter the aftermarket scene.

Happy Memorial Day! Looking forward to that three-day weekend? Have you noticed that the holidays are pretty poorly spaced, if you really think about it? We get a bunch of days off from the end of November to the beginning of January, and then pretty much nothing for months. It’s basically a holiday drought from January to May. But now, finally, the end is in sight. Did you know that this year is the 136th year our country will celebrate Memorial Day? Just another fact for you from your good buddy, Mike. In any case, I hope that you’ll find something fun to do to mark this “unofficial start of summer.” And if you’re ready to kick it into high gear and really get summer started right, be sure to check the Blog section below for details on this month’s hottest items and biggest steals.
