The 90s were a weird time. There are a lot of things that exist as sort of a hazy fever dream in our collective consciousness—like that time KISS took off the makeup and released a grunge album. Another example of ephemera we’d all rather forget? Automatic seat belts. If you’re under 30, you might not […]
You hear the weather report call for hail—and not just any old hail, either. We’re talking about monster, “golf ball-sized” hail that takes no prisoner. It’s the type of hailstorm that you wouldn’t wish upon your own worst enemy… yet your car is sitting in the driveway, uncovered, with only thoughts and prayers to keep […]
If the stars align, automakers will be tasked with finding a solution to drunk driving in the next few years.

Drunk drivers injure more than 300,000 people and kill […]
Your vehicle’s catalytic converter has one purpose: to control the amount of pollution you emit.

In Missouri, there are approximately 1.5 million […]
Insurance claims spike each winter, and a large reason for that increase is because of potholes. With more than 500,000 pothole-related claims filed every year, it’s not surprising that so many drivers loathe the season — it’s cold, the sun barely shines, and the roads are unkind to wheels, hubcaps and tires.
