I often wonder if we rely way too much on license plates. I mean, I guess you need /something/ to link a vehicle to its owner that is identifiable from the outside.

But license plates seem terribly inconsistent. I personally received a parking ticket a few months ago from a county I’ve never even been in. Called the…

This is the guy who strangled his pregnant girlfriend at Oklahoma State right? And was kicked out of college right for domestic violence. My sympathy for him and his bad attitude with the police doesn’t run too deep. He fits in fine in the nfl where domestic violence has been a problem for decades. If I strangled my…

Depends upon how much you borrow, if at all. 

People have gotten way the too comfortable buying cars outside their means. My family AGI is just under 400k and it still felt like a splurge to buy a brand new Kia Sorento.

I can’t imagine paying nearly double to get pretty much the same features in an X5, GLE, Q7, etc. but it seems like people who make a third of…

If you can afford a BMW because you like BMWs that’s fine, go for it.

Is it any surprise that car debt is getting out of hand right around the same time consumers are forsaking sedans and hatches for SUVs and massive bro-trucks? In fact, there’s so little appetite for cheap, reliable basic transportation that Nissan and Mitsubishi are discontinuing the Versa and Mirage respectively. It…

When I bought my first FWD car the only way I got stuck was when the snow compressed between the road and the car’s floorboards. Anything less and I was unstoppable with a good set of M+S tires.

Cops have every right to be antsy in this country where every wingnut can be packing. As I have said on here before, a local deputy was just walking up to a car that blew a red light in front of him when the guy shot him point blank. Luckily, his vest did his job, and they got the guy the next county over.

  Anyone who acted like Hill did would end up in jail, period. The guy has used his status to get out of trouble since 2014, when he assaulted his pregnant GF. But go in, keep defending him, it's law enforcements fault.

This - people just want more, more, more. I bought my mother a new Soul last year. $20K plus $500 to get the technology pack of driver aids and whatnot that a lady of a certain age finds useful. It is all the car anyone actually needs, even if it is not a car that I would ever want. I would just spend similar money on…

“When the officer walked away from the car, Hill raised his driver’s side window... One of the officers walked over and told Hill to lower his window. Hill cracked his window and told the officer not to touch his expensive sports car. Which is when a power tripping officer opened the door and dragged Hill from the…

A Mercury Tracer was $12450 in 1998 which is $23,700 in todays money. That’s 2024 Honda Civic LX territory and the 24 Civic has as much room as an Accord/Camry from the same era.

I don’t know if it’s factored into the numbers, but there must be way more people with car loans than mortgages or college debt. Buying a car is the biggest financial transaction a lot of people ever make.

The bigger problem is people buy cars they can’t afford.   The same thing was happening with the housing market when it crashed.   Just because you are pre-approved for a certain amount doesn’t mean you should spend that amount.   When I first bought my house back in 2005 I was pre-approved for I think about $150K,…

It wont take long to fill this niche and sales drop like a rock.  It is priced way higher than it was supposed to, has much less range, and is turning out to be built like crap.  Resale is already below MSRP and will continue to go down fast.  

Because there are few other EV trucks, and most of the people who buy a truck for truck things aren’t going to buy and EV.

Hill is an all-star player, a Superbowl winner, and one of the fastest receivers in the history of the league, but none of that matters when you’re facing a squad of half a dozen of Miami Dade’s finest.

Him and his goons aren’t even that skilled. He’s just willing to take obscene risks and has been lucky enough to avoided getting killed. Whenever any of these social media riders get on a track it becomes very obvious that they don't know what they're doing.

First... good on her for getting the kid out.

What’s more, Pineda has since discovered that the footage captured by her car in Sentry Mode has reportedly been wiped from the car’s memory, meaning that no footage of her and Ortega attempting to open the car to rescue the child remains.
