Being Upside Down In Your Truck But With A Twist

It's More Than Meets The Eye!

If you've ever owned a vehicle no doubt you been what's called upside down in your car. It's when you owe more that the vehicle is worth. Well Rick Sullivan, a mechanic from Clinton, Illinois, spent six months and $6,000 to bring this extraordinary concept to life. The inspiration struck him when he saw a Ford Ranger overturned in the snow. This sight sparked an idea: to create a vehicle that permanently looked like it was flipped over.

Building Process

  • Base Vehicle: The drivetrain of a '91 Ford Ranger.

  • Transformation: Stripping the Ranger's body and fitting an upside-down Ford F-150 body onto it.

This project required not just mechanical skills but also a creative vision, something that is often undervalued in the automotive world.

Community Reaction and Impact

The truck has become a local sensation, drawing attention and sparking conversations wherever it goes. Passersby are often initially confused, then delighted by the truck's design.

Need A New Car?

It may be fun to drive an truck that is literally upside down but not so much when you owe more on a vehicle than it's worth. Stop by today where you can find a car that not only meets your needs but also puts you on a more stable financial path. Remember, being "upside down" isn't a permanent state – with the right approach, you can turn it around and drive forward with confidence.

Can Going Viral Help Sell Your Car?



If you've been on the internet lately, you might have come across a hilariously over-the-top car commercial that's been making rounds. It's a high-end, cinematic masterpiece... for a not-so-high-end car. The filmmaker behind this viral sensation really went all out to showcase his girlfriend's 'crappy used car'.

Do We Really Need Car Touch Screens

Do we really need car touch screens?

Car touch screens are becoming increasingly common in new cars and offer a way to control various systems such as the radio, temperature controls and more with ease. However, the question remains: do we really need them?

The Pros

There are certainly benefits to having car touch screens. For one, they make it possible to control everything from music to air conditioning without ever taking your hands off the wheel. This can be incredibly convenient, especially on long drives.

The Cons

But there are also downsides to car touch screens. They can be dangerously distracting, particularly if you’re not familiar with all their features and where they’re located. Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds can be risky and potentially fatal.

Minimizing Distractions

Some car manufacturers are addressing these concerns by designing touch screens that can disappear into the dashboard when they’re not in use. Other features that minimize driver distraction include voice controls, heads-up displays that project images onto the windshield, and gesture controls.

Conclusion

In the end, it’s up to individual drivers to determine whether or not car touch screens are right for them. If you can use them without taking your eyes off the road, then they can be a valuable asset. But if you find them distracting, it might be best to stick with traditional buttons and knobs.

Is An SUV Right For You

SUVs are one of the most versatile vehicles on the market. They offer great family legroom and more storage for gear than a regular car making them ideal for family vacations.

What Are The Different Types Of SUVs

If you're in the market for an SUV, first, consider what size will best suit your needs. There are small SUVs (also called crossovers), midsize SUVs, and large SUVs.

 

  • Smaller SUVs offer better fuel economy and easier maneuverability, while large SUVs can accommodate more people and gear.

  • Crossovers are based on a car chassis, so they have unibody construction and usually offer better fuel economy than truck-based SUVs. They also tend to be smaller and more maneuverable than truck-based SUVs.

  • Midsize SUVs offer a happy medium between crossovers and large SUVs. They're big enough to comfortably seat up to eight people, but not so large that they're difficult to park or maneuver.

  • Large SUVs are the largest and most expensive SUVs on the market. They offer the most passenger and cargo space, but can be difficult to park and maneuver. They also tend to have poorer fuel

Next, decide what kind of features you're looking for in a SUV. Do you need four-wheel drive for off-roading or bad weather? Would you like a third row of seating to fit more passengers? Do you need a lot of cargo space for hauling gear?
