What’s the first thing you should do when you rear-end another car? Well, you put your cell phone down, of course! At least, that would be the courteous thing to do. That is, if you are the courteous driver. I think it’s ridiculous when someone is talking, wireless in public. You don’t know they’re on…
Thousands of cars are stolen in the state of Texas each year. And what are the odds that the three top stolen vehicles are all pickup trucks. The list has been released of the 2015 Top Ten Most Stolen Cars in Texas. And, honestly, the list hasn’t changed much in the last 4 years. But…
It is said that the car of the future will be the most powerful computer you will ever own. The chips inside driverless cars will be as powerful as those used in some supercomputers. A supercomputer packed inside of a box the size of a car stereo. But don’t tell my mother. She’ll throw a…
