When you’re driving, you need to be able to control your speed. Good brakes give you the confidence that you can stop at any time. Brake components, like any other mechanical item, can wear out.

If you live in or around the Athens, TX, area, we’ve got some great suggestions for summertime activities you can drive to. Some of the activities we’re recommending are water-related (swimming, fishing, boating, etc.), and others provide an opportunity to spend time with friends or family.

Purtis Creek State Park

Purtis Creek State Park is one of the best parks in Texas. It is located on the Colorado River, and it has plenty of activities for everyone! There are two lakes, a campground, cabins, and so much more. We love going here because it’s so close to Athens, but far enough away that we get a whole weekend away from our busy lives.

Surely, one of the most iconic American cars is the Ford Mustang. When it was first introduced back in 1964, it wowed the nation with its powerful engine and shockingly gorgeous design, and it has remained a flagship of Ford’s line-up ever since. Needless to say, it’s changed a lot over the years, and now, there’s a new 2022 Ford Mustang, and it’s packed full of new and exciting features to keep it relevant in the modern world.

Exciting Engine

When it comes to Mustangs, the first things to come to mind are their powerful engines, and this new range is no different. Starting with a 2.3L GTDI I-4 on the EcoBoost model, engine sizes eventually go up to a massive 5.2L V8 on the Shelby GT500 model which puts out an impressive 760 horsepower, giving it a top speed of 180 mph.
