Discover The All-New 2013 Nissan Sentra #descubresentra
I remember when I was a senior in high school, the parking lots were full of teen cars. Some were brand new, some belonged to the parents of the students, and some were used vehicles bought specifically for a new driver. One vehicle we saw a lot growing up was a Nissan Sentra.

It was 3 years old and previously a government car Continue Reading
What Makes You 2x’s Stronger? #AngelSoft
