So who’s actually responsible—you, him, or both of you?

Man monitors driveway from office desk

I can see on my doorbell cam that my neighbor parks his car in my driveway while I’m at work. Could this be a liability—and what can I do about it?

You check your doorbell cam during lunch—and there it is again. Your neighbor’s car sitting in your driveway while you’re at work. It’s frustrating. But beyond rude, it raises a bigger question: could this actually become your problem if something goes wrong?

Skeptical man with classic Mustang

Everyone knows that the Ford Mustang is the most overrated car of all time. But what other vehicles make up the top 30?

Father and Son at Car Dealership

I’m buying a new car and want a 6-year loan to lower my payments—but my dad says never finance longer than the warranty. Is he right?

Lower monthly payments sound great. Stretch the loan to 72 months, and suddenly that new car feels affordable. But then your dad drops the classic advice: never finance a car longer than its warranty. Is that old-school wisdom—or still smart in 2026?

Car Things Baby Boomers Did That No One Born After 2000 Has Ever Done

From cars to road trips, Baby Boomers experienced it all very differently than today’s younger generation. There was a time when cars didn’t guide you, entertain you, or protect you from your own mistakes. And if you were born after 2000? Some of this might sound completely made up. But…it isn’t. We promise.

Man in dealership parking lot

I’m looking to buy a new car. Is it true that cars with CVT transmissions always fail before 100,000 miles?

If you’ve spent any time car shopping—or scrolling forums—you’ve probably heard it: CVT transmissions don’t last. Some people swear they’re basically disposable, doomed to fail well before 100,000 miles. It’s a scary claim, especially if your car already has one under the hood.
