10 Surprisingly Affordable Used Supercars
Just like anything else, supercars suffer from depreciation, making them a bargain buy as they age before they start getting collectible. It’s been interesting to watch the market over the last few years, as we’re seeing these depreciation curves shifting in a variety of vehicles. As you’ll see below, some of our selections are already climbing in value, whereas others have yet to hit the bottom of their price curve. Either way, a pre-owned supercar is a great way to get a lot of car for a lot less bank, though it’s not without its pitfalls. The more complex the car, the fussier its engine and electronics can be, and thus more expensive its repairs can get. Buy with caution, and plan on setting some cash aside for fixing it up, but you’ll be happy you did.

10 Cars That Will Make You Look Baller on a Budget
The fun thing with the luxury car market is, the more loaded and over-the-top the ride, the more values plummet on the secondary market.

Here are six parts you might want to replace to get your car running smoothly again.
5 Affordable Ways to Make Your Car Go Faster at the Track
Nothing is really inexpensive when it comes to racing (or even just lapping), but getting your car ready for the track can be done in stages, and in the grand scheme of things the first priorities on the list aren’t the hardest on the pocketbook, all considered. You’ll notice that we avoid the power-adders in this list, as we (and countless others) recommend focusing on traction and handling first.

Is Your Home Lacking in Automotive Art? Problem Solved
Over the years we’ve seen a fair share of killer automotive art, but the depth and breadth of automotive geekery in these chalk drawings we’ve stumbled across is just too good to not share with our fellow enthusiasts. In total 99 variations are available, showcasing a range of iconic cars including everything from the Lamborghini Miura to more outlandish models like the Lotus Europa and Alpine A310. Available in a range of sizes from 17.7″x12.6″ for $49, up to a more substantial 35.4″x25.2″ for $169, these artworks are printed on metal plates with a matte finish, which works particularly well for these chalk-style designs.
