Welcome to AutoHackers’ Weekly Digest – August 11th, 2024

Every week, I share insights from running insurance auto auction marketplace CARS4.BID. The goal of this digest is to help you avoid common mistakes when buying at auctions and to assist you in purchasing your dream car at the best possible price!

This week, I’ve been traveling through Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and now I’m in Glacier National Park.

I’ve got some cool CARS4.BID promos – if you want to check them out, click here.

Yellowstone is such an amazing place! I had an incredible 4 days there. It truly embodies the essence of freedom and travel. If you’ve never been, you should plan a trip ASAP! The season is short, and summer is one of the best times to visit. By the way, it got down to the 40s at night, so be sure to bring warm clothes.

As an auto enthusiast, I especially love doing road trips. I’ve already clocked over 2,000 miles, and I’m not done yet.

What’s your favorite road trip you’ve done recently?

Update on my Camaro project

It’s Alive! While I was traveling, the guys working on my Chevrolet Camaro made great progress. They programmed the key, started it, and are continuing to assemble everything. You can see it here: Autohacker’s community.
