In fact, you might even be able to lend it to a friend or family member to drive without having to give them an entire rundown of the weird tricks they need to know in order to make it run right. Outside of the warranty period, however, you’re on your own. And the cost of keeping an out-of-warranty car on the road for 10 years can vary by thousands of dollars. - Collin Woodard Read More

It’s always exciting when you buy a new car, whether it’s truly new or just new to you.

Kyle from Out of Spec went out and bought a bunch of cheap EVs and has been testing them in the real world. - Bradley Brownell Read More

I have learned that it’s possible to learn something exists and immediately have it occupy a space in your brain which will almost certainly perish if I don’t have it. I am Veruca Salt and this hybrid van/snow machine is my oompa loompa, if I don’t get it now I may throw a fit that will end in bloodshed. When the snow starts to fly I begin to wonder why I’ve never owned any cars with tracks and skis. This is my opportunity, that is, unless one of you sneaks in and buys it out from under me. This Chevrolet G20 on a Bombardier snowcat chassis is calling to me from the depths of Facebook Marketplace, and fittingly I learned about its existence from a tweet. - Bradley Brownell Read More
