If You Had To Buy A Car Today To Last 250,000 Miles, What Would You Buy?
New cars are an expensive proposition, with the average new car transaction price somewhere around $48,000 and interest rates ranging between five and 14 percent. It often doesn’t make financial sense to buy a new car and trade it in every couple of years, as has been the American norm for so long. You really should be committing to buying a car that will last a decade or more, if you want to get your money’s value out of it. - Bradley Brownell Read More
These Are The Cars You'd Buy Today To Last 250,000 Miles
When it comes to buying a new car, you’re more likely to rack up huge miles on a modern daily driver than you ever have been in history. Cars are built to higher standards today than pretty much any time in the past. Even the cheapest of cars will probably make it to six-figure odometers. But if you had to choose something made today to drive for the next twenty or so years, racking up significant miles behind the wheel, what would you choose? We asked our readers, and these are the answers they gave! - Bradley Brownell Read More

These Are The Tiny, Seemingly Unimpressive Cars You Irrationally Love
Look at that cutie. That Saab and other cars just like it fill this slideshow to delight and entertain. Earlier this week, I asked what car do you love, not because it’s strong and powerful and well-engineered, but because it is a smol friend and you love it without reserve or reason. - Erin Marquis Read More
Money Is No Object: What’s The Best Winter Vehicle?
Much of the East Coast just got its first real (read: vaguely measurable) snowfall in two years, and it got me thinking about something: winter cars. But, not just any old winter beaters. Where’s the fun in that? Where’s the hope for something better? No, no. A winter beater will simply not do, and that’s what brings me to today’s question. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More
These Are The Worst Experiences You Have Had As Passengers
I asked earlier this week what were your worst experiences as a passenger. There was no way that could have prepared for what I sifted through. Commenters submitted stories that featured drunk driving, blatant traffic violations and straight-up dangerous driving. I’m glad that everyone survived to share their stories, including the one that took place in an active war zone. Without further ado, here are the worst stories from when we weren’t at the controls: - Ryan Erik King Read More
These Are Your Messiest In-Car Food Disasters
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Louis of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge attend the King Power Royal Charity Polo Match, in which Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex were competing for the Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Polo Trophy at Billingbear Polo Club on July 10, 2019 in Wokingham, England.
Last week, we asked you to tell us all about the weird and wild food messes you've endured inside your vehicle; the biggest consensus we gathered from your answers is to double-bag your dairy products and make sure you remove all of your groceries as soon as you get home. There were also lots of vomit stories, so those with a weak stomach might want to look elsewhere. - Logan Carter Read More
What's The Worst Experience You Had As A Passenger?
Sadly, we can’t drive ourselves all the time. You’re heading out to an event, alcohol will definitely be present and you’re going to drown yourself in beverages. Being a responsible adult, you ask a friend to be a designated driver, call for a taxi or get a ride on a rideshare app. However, the drive itself isn’t always pleasantly uneventful. - Ryan Erik King Read More
