What Is Your Favorite Obscure Concept Car? Everyone knows that, generally speaking, concept cars are meant to be just that — a concept. Odds are, they’ll never make it into production, and that’s OK.

You just spent too much on a car stereo. What are you listening to? Full install, subs, soundproofing, the works. What are the best songs to really test out the speakers quality? Bonus for non-rap/hip-hop, though those are great too. Some I like: Chapstick-Coin Fashionable People-Joel Plaskett Emergency Gasoline-The Weeknd The Mountain Will Fall-Dj Shadow Tom Sawyer-Rush Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic-The …

Savings: 15k Car loan: 12k @ 7.5%, 310 monthly I could probably rebuild savings within 4-6 months, through stable municipal government employment. Is this a no-brainer to pay it off with my savings and free up 310 in the monthly budget, or is this too r…

You Can Own The Coolest Version Of The Most Boring Car Ever The Chevrolet Malibu hasn’t raised many pulses in the 21st century, and despite General Motors’ best efforts, this custom 1997 Chevrolet Malibu Cruiser Concept Car displayed by GM at the 2001 SEMA Show still looks underwhelming.

How much car should I buy? I have roughly $50k to my name. Make about $60k a year. 28 years old and would like to buy a house in the next couple years too, but also need a car. Have been biking to work recently and it’s just become too much. Haven’t owned a car in a few years. Is putting $25k towards a used Toyota too much? I’ve been looking at some low mileage Rav4s and …

Should I refinance my car if I plan on paying it off sooner? I owe about $15k principal on a horrible 19% APR car loan. I plan on paying $2k/month on top of my normal payments to pay it off in 6 months. My credit score has recently improved so I have decent hopes of refinancing. Is it worth it if I do pay the car off in 6-12 months? All I’d really be saving on is interest for those months for a credit sco…

LPT: When there’s an accident or a crime involving a car; record video of the license plate and read it aloud There are plenty moments when you can’t get a clear shot with a photo (glare, resolution, etc) but your eyes can clearly see the letters and numbers. Record and read. This is more for when you’re a bystander, or the car that hit you is speeding off, hit and run type encounters, etc. If you get into a fender bender and the person is an honest per…

What is the “right” time to buy a new car if you have an older car? Do you drive the car you have until it fully dies, or do you assess cost of maintenance vs payment on a new car? I’m curious how to approach the right time to buy a new car if you currently own an older vehicle. My personal preference is always to ride out a car until it dies, but I could also see the argument of assessing maintenance costs and then determining if financing a new vehicle makes more sense instead. With a new car, you’d have registration cos…

Long term car rental in the USA – British Citizen Hi all, 24M here with a British driving license attempting to rent out a car for three months out in the USA. I found a car on Turo that I was happy with, however, was blocked from booking the car, probably because I actually agreed to pay the $900.00 young drivers penalty, and also took out the maximum insurance available on the car. What is th…

Insurance is doing a total loss on my stolen and then recovered challenger. Can I keep the car and fix it myself? My car was stolen on Christmas in Las Vegas. It took LVPD several months to locate it. It sustained some pretty good damages. Burn holes in the leather, smoke everywhere with dope, broken stereo, and some body damage.

I have enough cash to pay the car down to catch up on the loan but not much more cash left after that. Do I sell the car and get a used honda for 5-10K? My income is 85K. Debts: personal l…
