For that reason, it makes sense to take care of it: don't drive too aggressively, keep up with regular maintenance and keep it out of harm's way whenever possible. And if you have a garage, that's one great way to help protect your vehicle from harm. Think of your garage as your car's bedroom: where it goes to relax and remain safe and sound for the night. But it's hard to do that if there's so…

You've heard it before: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Normally, we agree - except in the case of the 2015 Ford Edge in Irving. We've always loved this fantastic little crossover, and we've never had any complaints - but its new redesign for the coming model year blows the current model out of the water. It's the makeover none of us knew the Edge needed, and your friends at Westway Ford will give you the details.

Winner of the Best Video Award at the ACM Mobisys 2014 Conference, WiFi Honk is already impressing…

1. Keep set of jumper cables in your car. Don't always assume someone nearby will…

With Ford celebrating the Mustang's 50th anniversary this year, we've seen a lot of buzz surrounding the brand-new 2015 Mustang in Irving. However, nothing compares to the little YouTube gem we recently found, showcasing the pony car in an '80s aerobics-themed dance off. Now, this might sound like quite the strange combo, and it is, but once you see the video, which has received almost 200,000 views, it's actually very entertaining. Who knew the Mustang would ever star in an '80s-inspried dance video? We sure didn't, but we're glad it did!
