The 10 Most Expensive Ford Cars Ever Made
Ford has been a household name in cars and trucks since Henry Ford introduced America to the Model T back in 1908. To this day, Ford is the top selling American car manufacturer by a wide margin. In fact, roughly one in every seven cars sold in in the United States is a Ford. A major aspect of Ford's image is as a vehicle for the working man: A contractor carrying his tools in the back of a truck or a father going on a fishing trip with his kids. There is another side to Ford's lineup, however, and that is in the ultra rare and ultra high end market of sports cars. Beyond the Ford Mustang, some of the most expensive Ford cars are one-off collaborations or concept cars, which range from iconic vehicles of the 60s to modern, high performance productions.

10 Biographies About Henry Ford Worth Reading
Though we often take our modern world for granted, much of the technology that is a part of our everyday life has not been around for very long in the scope of human history. Though we have a rich transportation infrastructure of interstate highways and other roads, there was a time when roads were rough, narrow trails and the fastest way to cross the country was by rail.

How Often Should You Have a Routine Maintenance Performed?
Believe it or not, millennials are more likely than any other generation to get regular maintenance performed on their cars. This generation may catch a lot of hate for "killing" industries, but one thing's for sure, they know how to take care of their cars. So if you want to be as good of a car owner as millennials, follow one rule. Every time you treat yo’ yourself, you really should treat yo’ car as well. What I mean by this is, always be sure you're checking up on a different part of your car. Check the oil, check your tires, check fluids, breaks, windows etc. If you are always checking in with your car, you will be sure to find damage before it gets bad and breaks the bank. If that’s not something you’re into, follow general maintenance timelines for your vehicle.
