The center of any bedroom is the bed, and with a bedroom decorated using a car theme, it’s great to have a race car bed, if you can afford it. However, with a little imagination, any bed can become a car. You can even buy an inexpensive bed frame from a thrift store to use as your base. Paint the bed a good race car color, such as red or bright blue. Add racing stripes down the sides. You can buy car parts at a izuzu amigo to add for a touch of realism, such as wheels, a steering wheel, and anything else you can think of adding. It won’t cost a lot, but if you let your child help you build it, this bed will become one of his prized possessions, and all his friends are going to think it’s really cool.
car sharing has become more popular in the past few years. There are companies that have sprung up in large cities which make it easy and affordable to borrow a car for a few hours a day. There are also individuals who want to share their cars with other individuals. These are called peer to peer car sharing services. The owner of the car lists their car and the available hours on a website. When someone is looking to rent a car for some errands or a short trip, they can log on to the car sharing website and see what cars are available. Need a truck to move some furniture for the day? Log on to the website and search for the size truck you need.

One of the classic stories about my dad is his first vehicle. Because his mom certainly could not afford to buy him a car, and the money he made on side jobs and summer employment was not going to get him a car, he got very crafty. He went to the junkyard, bought four junk vehicles, and took the good parts to form one working vehicle. Every time he needed maintenance done, he would go to the junkyard and either find the part in good condition or refurbish a semi-decent part. Through all this work, he became very good at truck repair, which made him very proud. He tells stories about cruising around town with his brother in tow like the two of them were the president and vice president in this beat up old Ford.
