Toyota 4Runner Outsmarts Resale Value Drop

Thought Subaru or Honda had the best resale value? Think again! According to KBB, the Toyota 4Runner is the real MVP, holding onto a wild 60% of its value after five years—way more than its rivals. The new 2025 model is even more fuel-efficient and off-road ready, but heads up: prices are creeping up. If you want a used one, be ready to pay up, because these things just don’t lose value like the others! #Cars #BuyingCar #Toyota4Runner

$17M Lambo Veneno: Collector’s Dream Car

Imagine dropping $16.9 million on a car you’ll barely drive! One of only three Lamborghini Veneno Coupes ever made just hit the open market, and it’s basically brand new with only 125 miles. No cup holders, no Bluetooth—just pure, wild V12 power and carbon fiber everywhere. It’s less a car, more a rolling piece of art (or bragging rights). Would you ever drive it or just stare at it in your garage? #Cars #BuyingCar #Lamborghini

Dodge Charger Just Snagged Car of the Year!

The 2026 Dodge Charger, built right in Windsor, Ontario, just beat out the Honda Prelude and Nissan Sentra to win North American Car of the Year at the Detroit Auto Show! Fifty auto journalists picked this Canadian-made muscle car as the top ride. Huge win for the Windsor plant and all the folks behind the scenes. The Ford Maverick Lobo and Hyundai Palisade also took home big awards—what a year for North American cars! #Cars #DodgeCharger #CarOfTheYear

EV 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 #EVSavings

This Battery Breakthrough Is Wild

Imagine 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 #TechNews

Ford’s Billion-Dollar Bet That Paid Off

Imagine 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 #AutoHistory

Ferrari 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 #Ferrari250GTO

Used Car Shopping? These Are the Real Deal Days

If 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 #UsedCars

New disability placards roll out in Massachusetts

Massachusetts 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 #Massachusetts
