Lincoln Aviator Recall Drama 🚗

Did you hear? Over 23,000 Lincoln Aviators (2025 models) are being recalled because the rear window might not stop closing if something’s in the way—ouch! No injuries yet, but Ford’s fixing it for free. If you’ve got one, keep an eye out for a recall letter in September 2025, or check your VIN online to see if you’re affected. Safety first, but wow, that’s a lot of cars! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarRecall

McLaren’s Sneaky Wing Tweak Pays Off

McLaren just pulled off a classic F1 move—tiny changes, big results! They tweaked their rear wing (think: less curve, beefier brackets) and tested a new floor setup, all to squeeze out more speed without messing up the car’s balance. The best part? These subtle updates are making a real difference, especially in tricky Belgian weather. Love when smart engineering gets those extra tenths! #Cars #F1 #McLaren

Albany woman’s car deal turns into a nightmare

Imagine handing over your old car, $11,000 in cash, and still ending up with a vehicle you can’t drive. That’s what happened to Heather Brown in Albany after she traded in her Ford Escape for a 2017 Infiniti at Broadway Cars LLC. Since June, her “new” car has spent more time in the shop than on the road, with repairs estimated at nearly $14,000—and the dealer hasn’t even paid off her old car’s loan, hurting her credit. Have you or someone you know ever felt burned by a car dealership? Let’s talk about what protections buyers really have and how to avoid these headaches. #Cars #AlbanyNY #CarBuying

EV makes people more prone to car sickness?

If you’ve ever felt a little nauseous in an electric car, you’re not alone! And that's true! - EVs are actually making some people sick—even those who never had motion sickness in gas-powered cars. Experts say our bodies are used to the sounds, vibrations, and gradual acceleration of combustion engines. EVs flip that on its head. They’re nearly silent, deliver instant torque from a stop, and often use one-pedal driving with regenerative braking. Without the usual engine noise or the familiar jolt of pressing the brake, your brain may struggle to anticipate movement, causing nausea. Passengers often feel it more, but even drivers can get queasy, especially with uneven throttle or braking inputs. Some researchers suggest adding “auditory motion cues” (think fake engine sounds) to help—though not everyone wants that feature. Have you ever felt sick in an EV? 😂 #EVLife #CarTalk #MotionSickness #DrivingExperience #Cars #EVs

Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Drama

Did you hear about the massive Jeep Grand Cherokee recall? Over 120,000 of them (2023-2024 models) are being called back because the second-row headrests might not lock upright—yikes! That means a higher risk of injury if there’s a crash. If you or someone you know drives one, the fix is free at the dealer. Letters go out Sept. 5, but you can call customer service or check online for more info. Stay safe out there! #Cars #CarOwnership #JeepRecall

Corvette’s Wild Hypercar Future?!

GM just dropped a jaw-dropping Corvette concept that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. Forget the V8—this beast is all-electric, with a wild canopy roof, hypercar vibes, and a battery setup that lets you sit super low. It’s not hitting production (yet), but the design is pure SoCal cool and hints at what the next-gen C10 could look like. Purists might freak, but you gotta admit: this is Corvette like you’ve never seen before! #Cars #Corvette #Hypercar

The Lincoln Continental that could’ve changed everything

Imagine 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 #LincolnContinental

Double tax shock for Chicago car buyers

Buying a car out of state sounds like a smart way to save, but one Chicago-area resident ended up paying sales tax twice—almost $3,000 extra—because the dealership in Texas messed up the paperwork. Illinois still wanted its cut, even though the tax was already paid in Texas, and they even seized his state tax return! Only after a local news team got involved did the dealership agree to refund the money. If you’re thinking about buying a car outside Illinois, double-check the tax forms or you could get stuck in the same mess. Has anyone else run into this kind of headache? #Cars #Chicago #CarBuying

Dipstick Drama: Why Your Oil’s Disappearing

Ever 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 #CarCare
