A few months ago, I would never have considered renting my car out to a stranger. I couldn't imagine being without it, and also didn't like the idea of someone else driving it. Eating in it. Maybe parking it too close to another car in a parking lot. But, fast forward to now, in the... Continue Reading →
Scammers are the worst. As marketplaces continue to grow their online presence, scam artists are stepping up their games (from all over the world). In 2015, 44.9%—or almost half of all consumer complaints—were related to online fraud. OfferUp, a popular site for buying and selling items has made attempts to end the trend. But lately...

Buying a used car instead of a new one can be a great way to save money without major compromises. But do you know what to look for when buying a used car? The biggest difference between buying used as opposed to new is the fact that a used car that's three or more years... Continue Reading →
Ever seen something really strange on the road? Not just the typical “truck balls” or the arm hanging out of the trunk (people are much more careful when they actually have a body back there.) No, really unusual, to the point where you wished you could ask some other drivers if they saw it, too?... Continue Reading →

2019 proved to be an exciting year for car enthusiasts: we saw a revival of the iconic Toyota Supra, a redesigned Porsche 911 and BMW 3 Series, and a brand new McLaren hypercar in the Senna. Those were all properly exciting, but with the new year well underway, I think it’s only appropriate to start... Continue Reading →
Every January, the latest technology innovations are introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in (where else?) Las Vegas. Across its 2.9 million square feet, CES is the place to see the most innovative and useful new ideas, and the completely ridiculous—and everything in between. One of the most interesting parts of CES is always the... Continue Reading →
The start of a new year usually means new laws go into effect. Sometimes it’s easy to miss them; it seems like there’s no definitive way of getting notified. This year, there’s not all that much to know in Florida, Texas, Oregon, or Washington. But California has a few new ones... Here are the new... Continue Reading →
There’s no question that self-driving vehicle technology is the hot topic in the automotive industry. Every major manufacturer seems to be designing their future models with self-driving functionality. The tech industry is also developing and testing its own solutions, including Waymo (Google/Alphabet’s self-driving car project), Uber, Apple, Aptiv, Zoox, and almost countless others. The applications... Continue Reading →
So you leased a car, and three years seemed like such an easy commitment to make: it was exactly the car you wanted, and a monthly payment you could afford. But life happens. Things change. Sometimes within the timeframe of a lease. Maybe you leased your two-seater dream car, but now you have a baby... Continue Reading →
