Man charging car in driveway, looking at camera

I don’t have an EV charger at home, so I use my neighbor's while he's at work. Am I doing anything illegal?

The neighbor leaves for work every morning. His EV charger stays behind. So if someone nearby needs a little extra range and the charger is just sitting there...what’s the harm in plugging in for a while? The answer depends on more than whether the homeowner notices.

My Retired Parents Barely Drive Anymore, But They Still Pay Full Ownership Costs. When Does Keeping A Car Stop Making Sense?

Your retired parents drive less than ever, yet their car still costs money every month. Insurance, registration, depreciation, maintenance, and possible loan interest continue while it sits. Falling fuel spending can disguise how little the total ownership bill has changed.

Pothole 1200X627

My New SUV Has Giant Wheels, And Potholes Keep Destroying The Tires. Did I Buy The Wrong Trim?

A new SUV with huge wheels can look fantastic in the showroom and feel considerably less impressive after its first serious pothole encounter. Large-diameter wheels are commonly paired with low-profile tires, which leave less sidewall between the pavement and the rim. Tire Rack says these combinations are more vulnerable to pothole and curb impacts than taller-profile tires. The problem is therefore real, even when the wheels and tires came installed from the factory.

That sounds perfect for a shared family vehicle until the wrong profile loads and the car confidently prepares itself for somebody else.

Retirement often brings a welcome change of pace. Daily commuting disappears, errands become more flexible, and many people find themselves driving far fewer miles each week. It is natural to assume that lower mileage will lead to dramatically lower ownership costs.
