Being a car salesperson can be a tough job. I mean, you have to deal with customers, who you and I know are usually the worst kind of people. Then again, the sales people can have their own issues. I feel like no place makes these issues come out more than the test drive. What’s your horror story?

When it comes to driving, safety is key. But sometimes, when everything else goes wrong, we get lucky and our cars protect us as they were designed to do.
Cars are designed to protect us in the event of a crash. It’s unfortunate, but it happens sometimes. When did a car save your life?
