A car's life averages around 200,000 miles. From commuting, to taking kids to soccer practice, to getting to the grocery store, most of a car's miles are not very exciting. Good thing summer is here to give us an excuse to go on more scenic drives.
What better way to spend those miles looking gorgeous scenery than in a Vanderhall Motorworks vehicle? These vehicles are some of the best in enhancing summer drives. Incorporating the best features from motorcycles and old racing cars, Vanderhall's three-wheeled models (the Venice, Carmel, and Edison) are unique, stylish, and fast. Designed specifically for city, sport, and tour driving, these vehicles are gaining more popularity.
Why just take my word for it? In a previous blog post, I wrote about five major celebrities, including Shaquille O'Neal, who love Vanderhall's vehicles. Here are six other major celebrities who also adore Vanderhall's models. See what they have to say about these stylish cruisers.

Thoughts:
- "I'm fascinated by this, because this is a classic example of boutique manufacturing. You know, here in America as manufacturing becomes more efficient, more and more people are able to get into the car business. That's what makes [Vanderhall] so interesting."(Youtube)
- "Feels incredibly stable...I've got plenty of leg room..It's a lot of fun to drive. Has just enough horsepower to get yourself in trouble and have fun, and plus, I'm surprised [that] you can get it at that price point...I must say it is very comfortable." (Youtube)
- "It's fast. It's made in the United States. [Vanderhall] shows you how using manufacturing expertise to cut everything down to the wire and do it as efficiently as possible, I mean we couldn't build this car in my garage for $29,000 making it ourselves...It's a lot of fun to drive." (Youtube)
