man in dirty car getting ticket

There was some dirt on my license plate and a cop pulled me over and gave me a ticket. I thought that was just supposed to be a warning?

But depending on where you live, that officer may have had more legal authority than you think.

If your mechanic says start-stop is quietly chewing up engines, that lands with a thud because it sounds plausible. More starts must mean more wear, right. The truth is more interesting and much less dramatic than the horror-story version.

Cars Every Dad Wanted In 1978—That Dads Today Don't Even Know About

Back in 1978, dads didn’t dream about giant SUVs with heated steering wheels and twelve driving modes. They wanted...well, sometimes what they wanted was genuinely cool—other times, not so much.
