Introduction
Vehicles have become an integral part of human lives. So much so, that these machines are easily taken for granted. We all interact with vehicles in one form or another, especially in America. With the casual use of cars and motorcycles, taking care of them, sometimes is just a second thought. Personalizing them, is even further back in the minds of most.
The Goal
As a student here in Gulf Coast. I have already noticed several cool rides throughout campus. Being a fellow car/bike enthusiast, it’s always interesting to see what these vehicles say about the driver. I love seeing the small details added by the owner, whether that be a few stickers or an intricate decal. My goal is to inform students on how to personalize their ride and to hopefully bring joy to their everyday lives. Its always best to learn how to appreciate the small things life can offer. With that, it doesn’t matter if your vehicle is beat up and old, and it doesn’t matter if you have money to spend or not. There’s always something for everyone. Within the coming months, I will cover a variety of recommendations and tips to help you customize your ride. Here is a snippet of what I’d like to offer.
Seat Covers
When you are using your vehicle, the inside of your car is where you spend the most time after all, why not spruce it up a bit? Seat covers can express a little part of you and give you a sense of belonging. If you are loss on what type of covers to look for, reflection on the type of aesthetic you enjoy or what you love most, whether that be a certain movie or animal, is a great place to start. For some inspiration, here are a few photos I’ve included!

End of the Road
I welcome not just the seasoned car experts, but also those who wish to know more about cars or motorcycles. It can be intimidating to participate in something you know nothing about, but this is a safe place to learn and ask questions. Don’t hesitate to express yourself, either through words or through the decor of your vehicle!
