Patch Drives is a regularly appearing editorial series created by freelancer Angela Youngblood. The series captures Angela's search for a new vehicle to transport her four children. It is edited and published at the sole discretion of Patch editors in Michigan.

During the series, Patch will work with local dealerships to secure new vehicles for Angela to test drive. However, there is no agreement regarding advertising or product placement and Youngblood's writing, videography and decisions about the vehicles she drives, and ultimately what she buys, are based upon her experiences during this series.

Patch is part of the community, and auto dealerships are strong members of the communities where Patch sites exist. We will continue to work with these dealerships to bring community news, events and announcements to readers as we do with other businesses and community institutions.

All decisions regarding the Patch Drives series are made independent of any discussions of advertising or sponsored content relationships.

If you have questions or concerns about this arrangement, contact Regional Editor Nancy Hanus, at (313) 318-7037 or nancy.hanus@patch.com.
