The haters are crying about my lifted truck but the only thing I hear is compliments.

truckYou know when you think about getting a lifted truck you kind of prepare for people to hate on you. There is this idea that you will just get dirty looks all the time. But in the month since I got mine the experience has been totally different. I have gotten so many compliments. The best part is seeing kids get excited and yell things like "hammer down" just to hear it rumble. I am sure there are people who give sideways comments in traffic but they are not saying it to your face. Lifted trucks started out as a functional thing for a reason. I have a big Ram 5500 for my work and a lifted Jeep for my personal use. They are not just for show. They have a practicality to them too. I really do not care if some people want every car to have a ride height of a small wagon. The sort of people who take issue with what you enjoy driving enough to be meaningfully put off by it prefer the safety of a screen to speak. #LiftedTrucks #TruckLife #Cars #CarCulture #CarOwnership #WorkTruck #JeepLife #CarEnthusiast #PublicPerception #GoodVibes

Subaru EyeSight Drama: Cash Back & Extra Warranty?

Subaru’s EyeSight system has been glitching out, and now there’s a class-action settlement! If you own or leased a 2013-2024 Subaru (think Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, etc.), you might get a 4-year warranty extension and up to 75% back on repairs you already paid for. But only certain VINs qualify, and you’ve gotta file by Sept 2025. Check Subaru’s VIN portal to see if you’re in the club and start your claim! #Cars #CarOwnership #Subaru

Brake Calipers: Fixed vs Floating Drama

Ever wondered why some cars stop on a dime while others feel mushy? It’s all about the brake calipers! Fixed calipers give you that racecar feel—firmer pedal, better heat control, and even pad wear. Floating calipers? Cheaper, easier to make, and totally fine for your daily commute. But heads up: they can wear unevenly and need regular checks. Who knew your brakes had so much personality? #Cars #CarOwnership #CarTalk

It started as the smallest scratch and now it looks like a crime scene... help me with my car 😩

I have been applying thin coats of paint and then wet sanding with 1000 grit to make it level. The problem is I keep sanding too much and end up taking off the paint I just put on. I have no idea how to stop this cycle and I feel like I am going to ruin the whole thing if I keep going. Has anyone been through this and actually managed to get a good finish in the end? #CarRepair #FixItFail #Cars #CarPaintingDIY #CarOwnership

Ford’s Recall Drama: Airbags & Electronics

Ford’s recall saga just got messier—over 314,000 vehicles are being called back for two big reasons. First, 2024-2026 Rangers have airbags that could tear and fail in a crash. Second, 2025 Explorers and Aviators might have electrical glitches that mess with windows, lights, and even the AC. Add this to their recent brake hose recall, and it’s a rough week to be a Ford owner. Would you trust your ride after this? #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

Ford’s Massive Recall: Is Your SUV on the List?

Ford is recalling nearly 500,000 vehicles in the US because of a brake fluid leak that could make it harder to stop your car—yikes! The recall affects 2015-2018 Ford Edge SUVs and 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX models. Only about 1% are expected to have the issue, but better safe than sorry, right? Ford’s also recalling more cars for tail light and airbag problems. Time to check if your ride’s on the list! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

Ford’s Massive SUV Recall: Brake Drama!

Ford’s recalling nearly 500,000 SUVs (yep, Edge and Lincoln MKX) because a busted brake hose could make stopping a lot harder. No crashes yet, but if your brake pedal feels weird or you see a red warning light, it’s time to get checked. Ford’s fixing it for free, but the fix isn’t ready until September 2025. If you know someone with these models, give them a heads up! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

Ford’s Massive Truck Recall: Are You Affected?

Ford just recalled over 355,000 trucks because the instrument panel might not turn on when you start the engine. If you drive a 2025 or 2026 F-Series Super Duty or a 2025 F-150, you might be on the list. Ford’s fixing it with a software update—either at the dealer or over the air. Owners will get official letters after Sept. 2, but you can call Ford now to check. Don’t ignore this if you’re a Ford truck owner! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

EV charging just got a lot more complicated

EV owners, brace yourselves: the adapter drama is real. GM is rolling out three new charging dongles to help you juice up at more stations, but now you might need a collection just to keep up. Two-EV households could end up with four different adapters! While it means more flexibility, it’s also more stuff to keep track of (and stash in your trunk). Charging your car on the go? Don’t forget your dongles—or you might be stranded. #Cars #CarOwnership #EVLife
