What Is An Optional Car Feature You Can’t Live Without? The average price of a new car is damn near 50,000 dollars, or a little more than eighty percent of the annual salary of an average American. That is a lot of money to spend on an automobile, so you’d better be damn sure it has all of the stuff in it that you want. If there’s anything worth doing, it’s equally worth… Read more…
