When should you add a significant other as a driver on your car’s insurance? Or should you even bother if you’re not engaged or married? submitted by /u/E_M_2030

What Car Do You Wish You Could Still Buy New? In theory, new cars are just better. You get the latest safety features, upgraded technology, a better powertrain and the satisfaction of knowing other people know you got the new one. And to some degree, that’s true. Anyone who says they’d rather be in a car from the late 1970s in a crash instead of a brand-new… Read more…

Please Stop Taking Vertical Photos For Your Car Listings Can we talk? Photographer to photographer? I see a lot of the shots you all take for your car listings when I’m compiling Dopest Cars every week, and there’s something I need to tell you all: You gotta cut it out with the vertical photos.

These Are The Worst Jobs In The Car World According To You There are a lot of awesome jobs in the automotive world that you could be doing. Maybe it’s designing your dream cars, racing your dream cars or maintaining your dream cars. However, for every good job out there I bet there’s at least one awful job. Read more…

I need a car. What are my options? I earn about $70k gross/year (varies based on overtime and bonuses). I have a 715ish credit score. I’ve been trying to buy a car for months because mine is super unreliable and clearly on its last leg (2005 Buick lesabre with 190k miles and several things that need to be fixed. Will not pass emissions next year). I drive for work a lot and my ca…

I Got My Car’s AC to Work By Hitting It a Lot Technology is supposed to be smart, but sometimes dumb solutions still work great.

You’ll Never Be As Free As A Car Flying Off Of A Cliff We all love cars here at Jalopnik, and one of the reasons is it is really badass to watch them get absolutely wrecked. That’s why this video has caught our attention. It’s drone footage from this year’s car launch in Alaska, where locals – as you may have guessed – launch cars off a cliff. It’s a super rad affair.

Taking on Car Payment while living at home I’m 22 years old and just graduated from college in May. I was driving an old used car that had no payment attached to it until recently when it started having a bunch of mechanical issues. I was wondering if it would be smart of me to take on a 375 dollar car payment with my monthly take home being ~2700 dollars. The car loan would be over 72 m…

Selling car I possibly don’t need? I bought a new car two months ago (30k cash, I own it fully) in Seattle. However since I live in an area with decent public transportation, I’ve realized that I may have not needed it. I am also spending 300 on parking, 100 gas, and about bit under 200 for insurance, monthly. For a few months I had been feeling unsafe sometimes + wanted some mor…

Paying off car early So I’m looking to buy a used vehicle and the salesman is saying he’ll only sell it to me if I finance it for at least the first 6 months and that I’ll “save” 1k by doing this. Like I can pay it off after that but I can’t pay earlier than that. What would happen if I agree, get the car fully in my name, and then pay it all off early? Do they have…

Can buying a new car make sense nowadays? Used car prices are still with arm’s reach for some makes and models, especially Toyotas and Hondas. In such circumstances, does it make sense to buy a new car outright? Especially if you plan to compensate for any possible depreciation by driving the new car for its entire lifetime? With a Toyota, that could easily be 15+ years (or even 20+ yea…

Car Loan vs Stock Purchase Plan Here’s the situation: Last year we had two paid off vehicles. In November, my truck died and we were forced to get something new. Since we’ve got twins on the way (and 2 kids already) we got a 2023 Chevy Suburban ($85k). We agreed to just finance it until we could make a decision on how we wanted to pay for it. As of now, our monthly payment is …

Police pulled over a Waymo car that drove in the oncoming lane in Phoenix Photo: Andrej Sokolow / Picture Alliance via Getty ImagesOn June 19th, a Phoenix police officer pulled over a Waymo vehicle that had been driving in an oncoming traffic lane. The car was apparently confused by some construction signs, and reportedly ran a red light before pulling over in a parking lot to let the officer talk to one of Waymo’s su…

I’m looking to buy a car soon. Which option is the most cost effective? I recently graduated my undergrad and plan on getting a job that pays hopefully ~60k by the end of the year. (I will only be purchasing a vehicle after I’ve secured a job) I currently have one student loan of $5500 at an (estimated?) interest rate of 5.5% to enter repayment starting in December. If I am planning on buying a used car for around, …

Is a week too long in Northern Greece without a car Hello! I’m planning a holiday for early September and I’ve been recommended Thessaloniki and Kastoria with a day trip to Meteora. But I’m unsure how long to spend on the area, would a week be too long or is this a good amount of time to explore the two cities? Are there any other places people would recommend that are accessible via public tr…

Car needs a new door after running into wall, not sure how to proceed? My car for reference – 2016 Mazda 3 with over 100k miles. I was planning on driving it into the ground (probably could get 6 more years out of it, mechanically it is fine) but I would like to know what you all think is my best option for how to proceed. Basically my daughter opened the rear door while I was backing out and the top part above th…

Should I pay off my car loan with a 4.99 apr? I own about 20,000 on a car loan that is charging me 4.99% percent monthly on the loan. I have about 50,000 in a Fidelity SPAXX account earning about the same amount in interest each month. Does it make sense to pay off the car (roughly 4.95%) loan now by using some of that money in the Savings Account, but then reduce the amount of interest I’m…

Unfortunate situation and need to get a car I had like 5k for a car (very young, and I had 5k total in savings), I planned to spent 3500. Unfortunately I had to spend 3500 for a relatives surgery, I’m glad they are ok. I do need money for a car still and my deadline for that car is the end of this month… is there a way to take a loan of 1000 so i can get a cheap car for now? i made sure…

Maybe I Already Have The Perfect Car Humans spend a lot of time chasing perfection, but it’s much more healthy to sit back and realize that perfection is next to impossible to achieve. And once you achieve it, you can’t enjoy it for fear of its upkeep. It’s much healthier to lower your standards of what constitutes “perfect.” Over the July 4 holiday I… Read more…
