Douglas Hughes+Follow$1,000 Car Payments Are the New Normal?!Car payments are getting wild—over 15% of new car buyers are now shelling out $1,000+ a month, and even used cars aren’t much cheaper. Loan terms are stretching past 72 months, and refinancing is booming as people try to keep up. Delinquencies are ticking up too. Basically, cars are pricier than ever, but that’s not stopping anyone from signing up for jaw-dropping monthly bills. How long until $1,000 payments are just... standard? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarLoans1314Share
Christopher Gonzalez+FollowYou Won’t Believe What Popped a Tire!A mechanic just found a vape cartridge jammed into a customer’s tire—yep, a vape! The internet had jokes, but the car owner was definitely not laughing. The tire was toast, and there was even broken glass from the cartridge. Apparently, weird stuff in tires isn’t new (think keys and wrenches), but this is a first. With vapes everywhere and no good way to toss them, looks like mechanics are in for more surprises. Wild, right? #Cars #CarOwnership #CarFails5516Share
schmidtgeorge+FollowFinally Figured Out Why My Car's A/C Smelled So Bad 🤮My car's air conditioner started smelling really musty, like a wet gym bag. I honestly thought it was just a sign of my car getting older. It turns out, that awful smell is actually mold and bacteria growing inside your car's AC system. Gross. Every time you run the AC, water condenses on a part called the evaporator core. Normally, that water drains out, but sometimes it gets stuck and becomes the perfect place for germs to grow. The bad news is that no amount of air freshener will fix the root cause. The good news is that it is often a pretty simple fix. You should check your cabin air filter. If it is old and dirty, replace it. It can trap moisture and cause the problem. If that does not work, you can try an AC cleaning foam you can get from an auto parts store. I am hoping this helps someone else out. #CarMaintenance #DIY #CarRepair #LifeHacks #CarTips #MustySmell #CleanYourCar #Cars 336Share
Stephanie Lee+FollowThis '49 Cadillac Restomod Is Pure ArtForget flashy customs—this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette, nicknamed “Jewell,” is all about the details. Every curve and trim piece was reworked to perfection, with a 2-inch roof chop, Frenched headlights, and hand-finished Dupont Meadow Green paint. Inside? Cappuccino Cream Italian leather and Lincoln Mark III seats for that luxe vibe. Under the hood, a built 427ci V8 with modern fuel injection means it’s not just for show. If you want a vintage ride that’s as smooth as it looks, this is it! #Cars #BuyingCar #Cadillac30Share
trhodes+FollowChevy Chevelle Throwback Hits the Market!Car lovers, this is wild—a custom 70/SS prototype is up for grabs! It’s a modern Camaro totally reworked to look like a classic 1970 Chevelle, with engine options up to a mind-blowing 1,500 hp. Only 987 miles on the clock, but the price is hush-hush unless you’re a serious buyer. These builds start at $180K and can go over $300K. Would you daily drive this beast or save it for the drag strip? #Cars #BuyingCar #Chevelle24841Share
Nicole Morgan+Follow5.3 Vortec: The Truck Engine LegendThe GM 5.3-liter Vortec V8 is basically the MVP of truck engines. Launched in 1999, it powered everything from Silverados to Hummers, delivering 270-325 hp and up to 350 lb-ft of torque. Not the flashiest, but super reliable and surprisingly versatile—even popping up in oddballs like the Saab 9-7X and Chevy SSR. If you spot one, you know it’s built to last! #Cars #GMVortec #TruckLife3816Share
Stephanie Crawford+FollowMercedes G-Wagen Goes Topless (and 4-Door!)G-Wagen fans, your prayers have been answered—Mercedes is finally making a new four-door G-Class Cabriolet, and yes, it’s coming to America! This is the first time we’re getting an official convertible G-Wagen with four doors, not just those rare two-door classics. Details are still under wraps, but expect a wild price tag and serious flex appeal. Who else is picturing themselves cruising with the top down? #Cars #BuyingCar #MercedesBenz30Share
schmidtgeorge+FollowI Love This Car, But It Hates MeI bought this beautiful old car and I really love the way it looks. The only problem is I hate driving it. It was set up for drag racing and it’s a total nightmare on normal streets. The shifter is wild, there are crazy switches for everything, and the fan and speedometer are totally broken. It feels like the car gets mad at me for not taking it to the racetrack. All I want to do is drive a normal automatic car and maybe go pick up some flowers. 😂 #Restoration #MechanicAdvice #CarTroubles #ClassicCars #Cars 327Share
Stephanie Lee+FollowBronco Raptor Price Drop Is WildFord just dropped up to $14K off the 2024 Bronco Raptor to clear out old stock before the 2025 model hits (which is already $10K cheaper than last year’s!). Some Raptors are now going for less than the new ones—talk about a plot twist. Plus, big discounts on other Broncos and even the Escape Hybrid. If you’re thinking about switching from Toyota or Subaru, Ford’s got extra perks for you too. Time to go car shopping? #Cars #BuyingCar #FordBronco2620Share
Anna Kim+FollowFord’s Big SUV Recall DramaFord just recalled over 213,000 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators because the trailer tail lights might not work—yikes! If your SUV has under 9,000 miles, they’ll swap out the control module for free. If it’s got more miles, they’ll check and fix it if needed. Owners will start getting notified in October, but the full fix might take until 2026. If you tow anything, you’ll want to check if your ride’s on the list! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall235Share
