jwhite+FollowŠkoda’s Clever Car Scrap HackŠkoda is turning leftover car parts into a win for the planet! Instead of tossing or melting unused metal scraps, they’re teaming up with other companies to give these pieces a second life. Think: roof sections and side panels from cars like the Octavia and Kodiaq getting reused instead of wasted. It’s a smart move that cuts down on waste, saves energy, and helps shrink carbon emissions. Who knew car scraps could be this cool? Would you recycle more if it was easier or if you got rewards? #Cars #CarOwnership #Sustainability40Share
dalemiller+FollowEV Repairs: Cheaper, But Way Slower?Turns out, fixing your EV costs less than a gas car—unless you count your time. A new study says over half of non-Tesla EV owners pay less for repairs, but here’s the kicker: getting your car back takes way longer. In 2024, only 28% of EVs were fixed same-day (down from 40% last year), and more owners had to leave their cars overnight. Tesla owners fare a bit better, but still—be ready to wait! #Cars #EVLife #CarRepairs51Share
William Jones+FollowDipstick Drama: Why Your Oil’s DisappearingEver checked your oil and found it lower than last time? Here’s the scoop: 1) Some cars just burn a little oil—totally normal. 2) Worn engine parts (like rings or valve seals) can make your oil vanish and even cause blue smoke. 3) Leaks! Check for spots under your car or oily engine bits. And FYI, too much oil is bad too. Get in the habit of checking your dipstick—your engine (and wallet) will thank you! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarCare20Share
larsontiffany+FollowAudi’s Secret Porsche Mashup?Audi’s cooking up a wild new sports coupe that’s got everyone talking—it’s being called the TT Moment 2.0, but don’t expect a TT comeback. Rumor is, it’s actually based on the Porsche 718 Electric, making it bigger, sportier, and possibly packing dual-motor AWD. The twist? Porsche’s 718 Electric is delayed till 2027, so this Audi might be a unicorn for a while. Anyone else dying to see what this ‘identity builder’ looks like? #Cars #Audi #Porsche30Share
Joshua Andersen+FollowThe Lincoln Continental that could’ve changed everythingImagine cruising Chicago streets in a V12-powered Lincoln Continental—an ultra-luxury sedan that never made it past the concept stage. Back in 2002, Lincoln rolled out this bold vision: a 414-horsepower flagship with retro-futuristic style, Aston Martin muscle under the hood, and power-operated suicide doors. It was a real head-turner, but Lincoln’s future ended up being all about SUVs. Now, this one-of-a-kind concept is hitting the auction block, offering a rare chance to own a piece of ‘what if’ automotive history. Would you want to see more daring sedans like this on the road, or are SUVs the way to go? #Cars #BuyingCar #LincolnContinental40Share
