Let's face it, we love our cars. No
matter where we live or what we drive, Americans have always had a
"relationship" with their cars. [Okay, so I had a
love-hate relationship with my Jaguar back in the bad old 1980s,
but that's another story.]
Next to our homes, our next biggest
"investment" is our choice of wheels. The term
"investment" is mis-leading, since with typical
investments, we hope to see the asset's value rise...but with
cars, we expect them to depreciate. And our "return on
our [automotive] investment" can really go into the toilet
fast if we have the misfortune of buying a lemon of a car [maybe I
should tell you about my Jag] or put our trust into the hands of a
lemon-of-a-mechanic.
It doesn't matter if you're in Dallas or Los
Angeles, Pig's Knuckle (Arkansas) or any/all points
in-between...the advice I'm about to share with you is solid and
applies to everyone that may read this section of the website.
Regardless of the "area of endeavor" we're talking
about, good people are always hard to find.
