Hello! I’m Fernando Alonso, a car enthusiast with a twist—I love innovation as much as I love classic cars, and I’m on a mission to help fellow enthusiasts and everyday drivers find smarter, more sustainable ways to stay on the road. Welcome to Dirt Devil Drive Blog, a place where the future of automotive meets practicality, sustainability, and a whole lot of personality. Whether you’re here because you’re curious about electric trucks or you want the lowdown on car wraps, I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride.

My journey with cars started early. As a kid, I’d tag along with my dad to the garage every Saturday. He had this old blue truck that seemed more like a family member than a vehicle, and he’d spend hours tinkering, showing me how each part worked. That truck taught me not only the value of grit and grease but also the beauty of a well-built machine. Fast forward to today, and my appreciation for cars has only deepened. But now, I’m also inspired by a responsibility to our planet, which has led me to focus on sustainable solutions in the automotive world.

One of my goals with Dirt Devil Drive Blog is to bridge the gap between tradition and technology. Take electric vehicles, for example. I know that switching to an EV is a big change, especially if you’re someone who’s used to the growl of a V8 or the reliability of a diesel engine. But electric vehicles are more than just a trend—they’re a smart, long-term investment in our future. I don’t just write about these innovations; I test, research, and occasionally even get my hands dirty with repairs and modifications. My hope is to demystify EVs and sustainable automotive options for anyone considering making the leap.

From a practical side, I also cover topics that I’ve found are make-or-break moments in owning a car—think everything from finding a dependable car rental to selling your first used car or choosing the right automotive products. Recently, I helped a friend pick out his first second-hand EV. It was an eye-opener for both of us; for him, because he found the perfect vehicle on a budget, and for me, because it reminded me of why I love writing this blog in the first place. I want everyone to feel as confident in their automotive choices as he did driving off the lot in his “new” car.

So whether you’re considering a switch to an EV, looking for advice on car repairs, or just here to learn more about sustainable automotive solutions, you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to share knowledge, inspire action, and build a community of like-minded drivers. Grab a coffee, browse around, and feel free to reach out—I’m always excited to connect with fellow car enthusiasts who care about both the journey and the destination.
