Cars, Instagram and More!
I don’t know what I would do without my car.
The answer is probably going slightly crazy! I’m almost 3 weeks into a 4-week ban from driving (health related, I promise!) and I’m finding it hard.
My car means I can get out of the house. It means I can see people and go places.
It gives me a sense of freedom, which I once had with just my legs.
Of course, our cars, all mean different things to each and every one of us.
Cars, Cars, Cars.
A car to everyone is different.
For some like me, it is simply for getting from A – B, for others it is a hobby, for some it is a collector’s piece.
For some, a car is a fun piece of kit, something they love to tinker with, for others it is a necessity, which they look to others to help them care for.
Sadly the cars in this post are not mine, they are ones I’ve reviewed on my blog and I have to say I did enjoy giving them a ride.
Plus finding interesting locations to take photos was fun so it is hardly surprising that there are ideas around how to take the best photos of your car.
As well as cars, which are spotted on Instagram the most.
Check out this infographic from Tyre City to see what they have found out about Instagram and cars.
Instagram and Cars.
Whatever Your Car.
Whatever your car, however, you see it and however you use it, I guess the most important thing is to have fun and be safe.
Making sure your car is roadworthy as well as photo-worthy (if that’s your thing) is a must.
How do you see your car, do you like taking photos of it?
Pin it!
Such fun infographics. I didn’t know ‘Instagrammed cars’ is a thing. LOL. I love my car and for me it’s not only a necessity, it’s also my big girl toy. 🙂
Haha love this – I wish I knew more about cars as I am sure they can be fun.
It was interesting to know about these facts of cars and Instagram. On Instagram I am looking for totally different things.
It’s amazing the things that people do look for on there – something for everyone.
Great tips. I love cars, especially the old and antique ones. But I don’t usually go to instagram to check out automotive.
There is something wonderful about antique cars isn’t there.
Thanks for this information, I never photographed my cars. Thanks for sharing the Instagramed car list.
No problem at all I hope the hints help if you ever decide to take some pictures.
I’m absolutely obsessed with my 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE. I got it in the blue flame color and it STANDS OUT!
Oh my goodness I bet that is beautiful.
I am surprised that a Honda Civic is such a popular car to photograph. I have a minivan, so I won’t be taking pictures of my car anytime soon 🙂
It is amazing all the cars on there isn’t it – they definitely surprised me as well.
I love driving. Having a car is also great for independence and freedom! I have never owned an insta worthy car though
There is something wonderful about having a car isn’t there.
Although I don’t really like driving, I do like the freedom driving gives me. My husband loves old cars and trucks finally has one on the road, it is a ’51 Chevy pickup. It is in rough shape, but it is fun to ride around in. (And a little terrifying wondering if we’ll break down somewhere.)
I have to admit I can’t do long drives now, but I used to hate it. Motorways are awful!
I bet you’re really missing your car – it must be tough losing the ability to drive even for just a few weeks. I’m still having driving lessons and I can’t wait to pass!
It’s so hard, especially when you’re so used to it. Good luck with your driving test!
My car is definitely not Instagram worthy but I have shared this with my brother. He has a whole Insta dedicated to his car and has been asking how to take better photos for it.
Oh wow that is amazing! I hope the tips help him out a little bit.
That most IG’ed cars are something. LOL thank for the info since I am not that updated regarding them.
It is crazy isn’t it – I love that there are so many cars out there being Instagrammed.
We just bought a new car after having our last one for 12 years and it is so good to be in something new again. Mich x
Ohhh exciting – enjoy your new car!
I instagram my car but only from the inside. That’s an interesting infographic about the top cars that appear on instagram!
It’s interesting to see what type of thing people like to share.
I don’t actually think I’ve ever really taken a picture of my car even though it’s very pretty. But like you a car to me is just a means to get from A to B x
It’s strange how people feel so differently about their cars isn’t it.
These are great tips. For now my car is a minivan so not really Instagram worthy
You could do location shots if you head off to some nice places.
I have to have a car to get around, public transportation isn’t safe where I live. I have always had one, so can’t imagine living without one. Especially with children I feel safer knowing I can rely on my vehicle in an emergency.
I have to admit I’m the same, I’d rather know we have a car.
These are some great tips! I’m always looking for ways to take better photos. We generally just trade our vehicles to the dealership when we’re trying to sell them, so we don’t need to take photos on our own.
It is amazing how it has become something that people like to put on the gram!
For me a car was always a way to get from point A to point B. However, I just got a brand new SUV and it makes me SO proud!
Ohhh there is something, that sometimes makes you want to show things off isn’t there.
Although we have two cars, I’m not really into cars at all! As long as it gets us from A to B I’m happy!
I’m with you – I mean sometimes I look at a car and think it looks nice, but I’m definitely not someone who knows much about them.
I had to purchase my first car and the wait it took to get in a car was daunting. I guessed that the Audi series would be on top IG cars list
Haha yes some of them are guaranteed to be on the list aren’t they. Though some are a surprise.
I admit I meet a lot of IG car posts, but I struggle to comment on them and understand them!
It is interesting they are something that has become and photo opp in many ways.
I have had my car for 15 years and although it’s had a few small scrapes I still think it looks great and wouldn’t know what I’d do without it!
I’ve had mine since I passed my test in 2010, but it was a preowned so it’s got a fair few years on it now lol.
Right now my white car is completely covered in yellow pollen, so I wouldn’t dare photograph it, lol. But when I get it washed, I’ll use your tips to take Instagram photos of it. I’m so sorry about your temporary driving ban, I can’t imagine how hard that would be. I love my car and being able to drive when I want to.
Good luck with taking some Instagram photos. It is driving me insane haha! Downside of living in a little village I guess as well.
I don’t know where I would be without my car. I had to go 6 months without one a few years ago and it was horrible.
Oh gosh I bet that was so hard – I found this month awful!
one time i was without a car and it was SO WIERD to not be able to go anywhere that i needed too ha- its interesting for sure to not have that luxury that we dont think of!
It is hard isn’t it – I mean I don’t get to go out much anyway due to my health but at least I normally have the option lol.
We live in the countryside. Having a car to go anyplace is a necessity. I would find not driving very hard
I live in a little village so we are having to rely on my Dad for everything.
We’ve been car-less for the last 6 months, and I have to say I have not really missed it. I don’t leave the house much, and when I do I either walk or take the bus. I have a free bus & train pass for Mersey Travel, which is really helpful. I’ve even gone as far as Chester for free. However, my husband is less keen on not having a car, and regularly complains when he gets caught in the rain walking to / from the train station. He is now talking about getting a car again, but we will have to see if we can justify it financially or not.
Ekk I can imagine that cars aren’t right for everyone. I used to do OK without one for many years, I love public transport, with my health these days it just isn’t viable though to rely on it.
