The “use it or lose it” slots are a convenient scapegoat, but there’s a lot more complexity to the issue.

Not the first time an organization named Luft-something takes to the air to keep what may or may not be rightfully theirs.

A while back when these systems first came about, my dad (who lives in Northern Germany) told me about his buddy who’d bought a brand new Merc. He was all excited about it, because the dealer (from whom he’d been buying cars for decades) had given him a demo and it was pretty awesome. So he was a little surprised when…

What will you do without your car telling you what year it is!?!?!

Ford stock holders would like you to stop typing now.

Try this - drivers on fixed incomes less likely to want to triple their insurance rates to cover cars they cannot afford and pay more in property taxes on those expensive vehicles.

How the fuck do you warp a rotor from over torque on a lug nut?
