What is Porsche Up To?

When I say “Porsche” what comes to mind? Athletic, dynamic, sporty cars that have been the most impressive sports cars on the planet for many years; at least that is what I think of when someone says Porsche to me. While there are now two Porsche SUVs it’s still the sports cars that are put out every years that make Porsche one of the most impressive brands on the market. There have been Porsche models that are more affordable to allow more customers to enjoy them and then there have been some that were so exclusive you had to win the lottery to even think of buying them.

What do You Want to do with Your Old Car Parts?

The world is now full of people who are looking for different ways to reduce, reuse or recycle items to let them have a second life as something else.

The Nissan Versa is a car that starts out its life at just $11,990 and is sold in the US as the least expensive car on the market.
