Start-Stop Technology

My mechanic says start-stop technology is destroying engines long term. Is that true or just anti-tech fear?

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 Boomers Loved Before SUVs Took Over—Did You Drive Any Of These?

Before SUVs completely took over suburban driveways, boomers loved...Well, they loved cars that were stylish (and yes, some were ridiculous). But honestly, a lot of them still had more personality than today’s endless sea of gray crossovers.

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.

White man and adult daughter standing beside broken down car

I helped my daughter buy a used car, but it broke down immediately. The dealer told her there was nothing they could do. Is that really legal?

You found a used car, liked the condition, trusted the dealer, and imagined your daughter driving it for years. Then the check engine light came on, the car broke down, and the dealership suddenly stopped sounding so helpful. When you're told "there's nothing we can do" just days or even hours after a sale, it's natural to wonder whether that's really the law or just a convenient excuse.

Frustrated upset young man looking sitting on his broken car

The rental car company blamed me for damage I didn’t cause. Can I prove that they're lying?

You return your rental car feeling victorious after surviving highway traffic, questionable coffee stops, and a GPS that seemed emotionally exhausted by your driving choices. Then comes the email claiming you damaged the vehicle. Suddenly, you’re staring at photos of a dent you swear wasn’t there and a bill that looks suspiciously like a second vacation payment.
