Car Loans Are Becoming Debt Traps

Car buyers are getting buried in debt—literally. Nearly 1 in 3 people trading in their car owe more than it’s worth, and some are rolling over $15K in debt into their next ride without even realizing it. Blame long loan terms and pandemic-era prices. The average negative equity just hit a record $7,214! If you’re thinking about trading in, experts say hang onto your car longer or sell it privately to avoid this financial sinkhole. #Cars #BuyingCar #CarLoans

Wait Before Starting Your Car!

Ever just hop in, turn the key, and go? Turns out, your car needs a sec to get its act together! When you switch the ignition on, all those dashboard lights mean your car’s doing a quick health check—fuel pump priming, sensors syncing, the works. If you start the engine too soon, you’re stressing out important parts and even your catalytic converter. Just wait for those lights to go off, then start up. Your ride will thank you! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarTips

Subaru 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 #SubaruCrosstrek

The very first production Chevrolet Corvette, known as VIN 001, has finally reappeared after being lost for decades. Built by hand in 1953 as part of the original batch of just 300 cars, it vanished soon after leaving the Michigan factory, becoming one of the greatest mysteries in automotive history. Its rediscovery stunned collectors because the car was never restored or altered. It still carries its original fiberglass body, preserved exactly as it was decades ago. For historians, this isn’t just a rare vehicle — it’s a frozen moment from the birth of America’s sports car legacy. #fblifestyle #cars #corvette #history #classic
