Nicole Morgan+FollowEV Owner’s Wallet Shock: It’s All Savings!You know that myth about EVs being crazy expensive? Turns out, it’s not true for everyone. A Redditor broke down his costs after switching from a gas-guzzling Mazda to a Volvo EX30 EV and was floored by the savings—over $2,300 in just three years! Charging at home is way cheaper than fueling up, and maintenance is basically nothing (at least early on). Bonus: if you’ve got solar panels, you’re practically driving for free. Anyone else tempted to make the switch? #Cars #ElectricVehicle #EVSavings00Share
Travis Baker MD+FollowThis Battery Breakthrough Is WildImagine making lithium batteries way faster and cheaper—thanks to a new process that skips the huge evaporation ponds and uses salty brine instead. NewGenium’s ‘Super Synth’ tech could make electric cars and solar storage way more affordable, all while cutting waste and boosting US-made batteries. Could this be the end of pricey, slow battery production? The future of EVs and clean energy just got a major upgrade! #Cars #CarOwnership #TechNews00Share
William Goodwin+FollowFord’s Billion-Dollar Bet That Paid OffImagine being so close to bankruptcy that one flop could end it all. That was Ford in the early '80s—until they dropped the Taurus. This wasn’t just a new car; it was a total company shakeup. Ford bet $3 billion (in '80s money!) on a futuristic sedan, changed their whole vibe, and it worked. The Taurus became a hit, saved the company, and forced rivals to rethink everything. Who knew a 'melted soap bar' could be a hero? #Cars #FordTaurus #AutoHistory00Share
Stephanie Lee+FollowFerrari 250 GTO Sells for 'Only' $38.5M?!Everyone thought this ultra-rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Bianco Speciale would smash records, but it 'only' sold for $38.5 million at auction. That’s a record for Mecum, but way less than the $70M one of these went for in 2018! It’s the only white GTO ever made and was owned by a former Microsoft CEO. Imagine dropping that much cash and still being called a bargain hunter! #Cars #BuyingCar #Ferrari250GTO00Share
Jacqueline Farrell+FollowUsed Car Shopping? These Are the Real Deal DaysIf you’re thinking about buying a used car, timing is everything! According to a massive iSeeCars study, you’re way more likely to score a sweet deal (think 10%+ off) if you shop on certain days. MLK Jr. Day is the absolute jackpot, but New Year’s, Presidents’ Day, and even Halloween are surprisingly great too. Basically, skip the random Tuesdays and aim for these holidays—your wallet will thank you! #Cars #BuyingCar #UsedCars10Share
stephenolson+FollowNew disability placards roll out in MassachusettsMassachusetts just gave its disability placards a major upgrade—think tougher materials, a fresh look with the universal accessibility logo, and built-in security features to fight fraud. The RMV says this change means faster delivery and less hassle for folks who rely on these placards every day. The process is now 25% quicker, and instructions are in both English and Spanish. If you already have a placard, it’s still good until it expires. What do you think—will these changes make a real difference for people with disabilities in our community? #Cars #CarOwnership #Massachusetts00Share
Jacqueline Farrell+FollowSubaru Crosstrek’s Lease Is a Steal!The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek just dropped its lease price, making it cheaper than the Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross this month. The base model starts at $255/month for 36 months, but if you want the hybrid, it’ll cost you way more. The new Crosstrek packs a bigger engine and more features, so if you’re eyeing a small SUV with some off-road cred, this deal is hard to ignore. Would you go hybrid or stick with the base? #Cars #BuyingCar #SubaruCrosstrek10Share
stephanie30+FollowSubaru Outback’s New Look, New Lease VibesSubaru just dropped lease deals for the 2026 Outback, and it’s got a fresh, boxier SUV vibe—think more space, more tech, and still that classic all-wheel drive. The Premium trim starts at $365/month, but if you’re cool with last year’s style, the 2025 model is cheaper. Both deals are up for grabs through February, so if you’ve been Outback-curious, now’s your shot to test drive the glow-up without a long-term commitment. #Cars #BuyingCar #SubaruOutback10Share
Christopher Gonzalez+FollowWhy the Ineos Grenadier Costs a Small FortuneEver wondered why the Ineos Grenadier is pricier than a Bronco or Wrangler? It’s all about that French factory life—think high-tech robots, a massive workforce, and those pesky import tariffs. The Grenadier’s built tough with BMW engines and a mix of steel and aluminum, but unless they start making them in the U.S., expect that luxury price tag to stick around. Would you pay $71K+ for a hardcore off-roader? #Cars #CarOwnership #IneosGrenadier02Share
James Smith+FollowSticker shock: Car registration fees skyrocketGetting your car registered is turning into a wallet-busting experience for many drivers, especially those with hybrids or newer vehicles. People are venting online about surprise surcharges—like an extra $75 just for driving a hybrid in Wisconsin, or nearly $1,000 for a new Jeep in Colorado. States are hiking fees to make up for lost gas tax revenue as more folks go electric or drive fuel-efficient cars. It’s leaving drivers frustrated, feeling like they’re being penalized for trying to save money or help the environment. Have you been hit with a hefty registration fee lately? How do you think states should handle the shift to greener vehicles? #Cars #CarRegistration #HybridFees21Share
