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?

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?
