#SaveTheDirt and share your story
Monday is April 4 – known to some as 4×4 Day. How does a Jeep® brand owner celebrate 4×4 Day? They skip the carwash until after April 4, of course!

Now, in celebration of the 75th anniversary celebration and acknowledging “We … Read More

Will your vehicle cost you money?
Every year about this time I talk about the overall cost of owning a vehicle. Why? Several reasons, actually. The first step of vehicle ownership is getting that great deal when you make your purchase. But that is not the end-all-be-all of vehicle ownership. It’s tax refund time and there are some great deals on vehicles right now. But beyond the dealership, there are things … Read More

Classic American muscle tops the list at Mecum Kissimmee
Intense. Classic. Unprecedented. These are the words that were used to define the eighth day of bidding at Mecum Kissimmee 2016. Dana Mecum, himself, labeled the day’s “Monumental Muscle” event as unprecedented and, as it turned out, he was not exaggerating a bit. With standing room only on the auction floor, and live broadcasting on NBCSN, vintage Chrysler dominated the top 10 sales of the … Read More
