My Nissan California is Undergoing Repairs

My 1989 Nissan California is now undergoing some body repair because of the two minor accidents I encountered last December. Both involved the same type of vehicle, a Mitsubishi L300.

Precautions When Filling Up With Gas

When you are having your car filled up with gasoline or diesel it is advisable to put out your cigar, even if it’s a Padron or whatever brand it is.
