Did your rates go up?

I spoke to my agent later today and got some more information. She stated that the other driver not being ticketed was really meaningless in terms of liability. As long as I...

I used to drive myself nuts about this stuff, but after a while my attitude has changed. What's the point of having a car that one is afraid to use? (Disclosure: I did keep my older car for use at...

I had seen this earlier, but have fixed the A-pillar rattles and had already determined that the creaking wasn't from the cupholder, door panel, glove box, or sunglass holder. Its due to the vents,...

Re: Rattling and general noises from dash
