Cars are a wonderful invention. They lend mobility to people and allow transport of loads from one point to another.

And a lot of cars do even more than just that. For a lot of people, cars are an investment. There are those that hold up social status and add prestige to the name of its owner with the luxury that they are, like the world-famous Ford Mustang, the royal Jaguar, and the ever grandiose Porsche. Especially for the business class, people in the upper management and executive brackets, owning and keeping a car that is of relatively good market value is a significant indicator of rank and success, while the sorts of the Mini Cooper, Toyota Yaris, and the new Chevrolet Camaro with distinctive styling and feasible consumer price indexes seem to imbibe youth and vitality wherever its presence can be found.

To some, cars are like kids, something that goes beyond just a machine that can be used for traveling and involves responsibilities and tasks. And for the junkies, cars are like better halves through which appearance and stature could say so much about how the owner tends it and takes pride of it. Well, the fact is. Of course, not everybody owns an expensive sedan. How many common wheels take the road everyday that roll with fabulous body paints, blings on the car rims, stickers somewhere front, behind, and on the side, spoilers that may or may not aid aerodynamics but make the car just as magnificent, wheels and mugs that sport it up and lights that make the car dazzle? How many bronze tagged units have now such lavish interiors where you could find more than a stereo is a mobile television set, a GPS tracker, a sensor-operated climate control system, or perhaps some expensive leather or velvet linings on the car seats?

These are cars that are straight out of the ultimate car enthusiast, the aficionado's garage. Caring for the car is the life of the car junkie. And for the love of it, cashing out to keep or update it is not much of a problem. Thanks that the American creative juice simply has not gone down the drain over the drive-thru pastry and morning coffee that even ordinary-looking cars with simple layouts and design engineered for daily drives can own a specific treat to itself which can make it a lavish and special ride.

Not to leave out the fact that the automotive industry is somewhat having ruffled feathers that has subsequently incited the ending of the production of various cars and car parts that a part of today's efforts on sustainability need to come from the end-user of these automotive products. By and large, aftermarket products like the AC Condenser for the auto AC system and replacement lamps for the headlights and tail lights continue to be available, and in all these, the thrust of the car junkie winds up as never to be a burden but a pleasure to engage in-that is, to continue the up-keeping and innovative styling in support of the industries need for revenue and utility.
