My catalytic converter was stolen, and insurance barely covered the repair. Is there special coverage for that?

You walk out to your car, start the engine, and suddenly it sounds like a race car. Then comes the bad news. Your catalytic converter has been stolen, and the repair estimate is much higher than expected. Many drivers assume insurance will take care of the problem. Unfortunately, that is not always how things work out. Deductibles and coverage limits can leave you paying a significant portion of the bill.

“Lifetime transmission fluid” sounds wonderfully convenient. It also sounds suspicious if you plan to keep your car well past the warranty. Your mechanic is not crazy for questioning it, but that does not automatically mean you should ignore the manual either.

It is easy to see the appeal. Two gleaming luxury SUVs in the driveway can look like a rolling vision board for prosperity, competence, and taste. The bigger question is whether that purchase reflects what a family actually needs, or whether image is quietly taking the wheel.
