Well, if you own a car, or if you're in the market for a new car loan, then you should know something about tax season: it mixes well with car ownership.

    What Does Your Car Say About You?
    What does your car say about you? Are you a fashion diva or a man's man? Did you get your car for the daily commute or did you pick something out to haul loads and go off-roading.

    What American vehicles would the United States’ Founders have driven?
    George Washington - Harley-Davidson Sportster George Washington spent the better part of his military career in a saddle, wearing a pair of sturdy boots.
