Rideshare Etiquette
These are the days where rideshare companies are owning the market. Although there are no doubt many rideshare websites and apps around the world right now, two top contenders are the infamous Lyft and Uber apps. Both apps are free to download on your mobile device so long as you use a debit or credit card once you are ready to request a ride. In the early stages of both apps (Uber debuting in 2009 whereas Lyft wasn't founded until 2012), you were able to get a first free ride of up to 20 dollars. I'm not sure if that still stands now, but I do know if someone lets you use their code, then you do get some sort of promotion. Since I am an avid user of both apps, I will happily input my codes at the bottom of this post for anyone who is new to the apps and has not requested a first ride. The code does not expire until you use it the first time, then no more promotions are usable from that code unless a new account from a different phone and phone number is made.

'Stop! We're Going to Crash'
It’s been four days and I still can’t believe I crashed my car. Literally, I just whammed that car’s rear end as if I had intentionally done it; as if it was Fast and Furious and I was Vin Diesel trying to rough up some bad guys. You ever wonder whether he stops before he crashes his car and worries about his insurance? Probably not.

10 Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Car
Spring is just around the corner, which means it's time to get rid of all the winter clothing and clean everywhere in preparation for spring! Since the warmer season is coming shortly, our house needs to be prepped for the season. But aside from our wardrobe and house, our cars are certainly the ones that need deep cleaning. While many of us don't bother cleaning our cars in the winter, because it's too cold out or it just keeps snowing whenever we clean the exterior, there's no point in doing so.
