Automobile engineering is my hobby and I like to write about cars. My blog covers everything related to automobiles, from engines to design, manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and even new models. Automobile engineering is something that requires lots of skills, and I have been practicing since I was in college. Automobile engineering is limited to one’s technical ability and involves understanding many other aspects such as sales, marketing, legal, financial, and so on. Therefore, this is a perfect job for an individual who is interested in all aspects of automobile industry.
