    Carports and Garages – Do You Need Both?

    “My dream is to have my own set of wheels.”

    Yes, that used to be my dream too. Now, it is my reality. But I’ll have you know that the road getting here wasn’t all that easy – and I’m not just referring to the financial part. Aside from getting the money you need for the car, there are a lot of other things you need to consider. One of those things is your license. Well, you can’t just drive all hilly-billy acting like you’re some sort of a God who doesn’t need a license. It’s one of the essentials so to speak. You really have to invest and put in the effort to acquire one. This video can help you out:

    Aside from your license, several cities also have local laws about parking lots. The law commonly states that people who don’t have a designated space for a parking lot are not qualified to own a personal vehicle. Well, it’s for good reason. If people don’t have their own parking lot, they’d end up parking their vehicle on public streets and sidewalks. This, in turn, may cause a lot of trouble for other residents living in the area. So before you even consider buying a car, you should ask yourself:

    Do I have the space for it?

    That’s right. Before literally everything else, you first need to have a place to park your car in. Leaving it on the driveway or in front of a neighbor’s house can cause all sorts of trouble for other people. It may also get you in trouble with the law. If you want to avoid such hassles, it is advised that you first secure a parking space before purchasing any type of vehicle. If you have a spacious lawn, you at least have a place to start. In a month’s time, you can whip up a lovely parking space. All you need now is good help from competent people.

    While a simple parking space may be good enough for some car owners, others like to take it up a notch (like me!). I mean, if I am going to get a car, I might as well do it right. I’d rather put in a lot of effort in the preparation rather than regret it later on. My friend, if you want to be a really responsible car owner, you’ve got to get yourself a stylish carport.

    What Is A Car Port?

    Well, ports generally refer to terminals or resting places for vehicles. For example, shipping ports are for ships on break or those that won’t be sailing anytime soon. We also have docking ports, trading ports, etc. This particular port you need is one specially designed for cars. Luckily, you can check out the best carports online.

    Now, it isn’t something too special really. A car port typically looks like a tent or canopy. However, it must be strong and sturdy. The quality of the material used for the car port must be carefully considered. Using substandard materials typically lead to weak and fragile foundations. Car ports are meant to keep your vehicle safe from the harsh external environment. We experience crazy seasons – intense heat, extreme cold, and heavy rains. If there is nothing to house your car, it is sure to wear away much faster. If the car port protecting your vehicle is substandard, then that will also not work. You won’t get to preserve the physical qualities of your car all that much and you also risk damage should unfortunate events rise (e.g. tubes breaking). If you decide on getting a car port installed, might as well do it right.

    If I Have A Carport, Do I Need A Gated Garage?

    While an automated garage isn’t exactly a requirement to owning a car (as long as you have a decent parking space), still, it pays to have one sometimes. First of all, it is more secure. If you’re into car accessories and tools, you can safely keep them in here. Also, if you’re into other types of craft, a good and secure garage can double as a working space. If your car is something you really want to protect (maybe you own a Bugatti, for all I know), then installing a gated garage is a good option to consider.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

📌 Graskop, Mpumalanga

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
