Many of us have experienced a flat tire while we are cruising down the road. Unfortunately, more and more drivers do not know how to change a flat tire on a vehicle. We are blaming that on more schools no longer providing automotive or life skills classes.

The fall season is now here, and while many folks are excited about pumpkin spice lattes, we are more excited about getting into the woods and hunting for that trophy deer, bear, or wild hog.

Here at Auction Direct USA, one of our favorite summertime activities is going outside and looking up at the nighttime sky. We always love picking out the constellations, making a wish on a shooting star, and keeping our eyes open for a UFO.

Why buy a pickup truck…Owning a home might be widely considered the American dream. When it comes to owning a vehicle, however, nothing seems more American than driving a truck. Sales numbers show that Americans love their trucks. From January to August 2016, the Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, Ram pickups, and GMC Sierra combined for more than 1.3 million units sold – and that is just the top four trucks.
Sure, arguments could be made that trucks retain their value well and are known for being durable. There are other reasons, though, why you should consider putting a pickup in your garage.
Not only are pickup trucks icons of American culture that are remarkably fun to drive, but they also have several practical advantages over other vehicles. From helping make jobs easier to providing additional power, durability, and safety, buying a pickup truck can be the most advantageous purchase!
