I let a friend borrow my car and he got a speeding ticket from a camera. Am I seriously on the hook for his bad driving?

You loaned your car to a friend, and days later a camera speeding ticket lands in your name. It is one of those annoyingly modern problems that feels unfair at first glance. The short answer is that in many places, the notice goes to the registered owner first, even if someone else was driving.

Car Dealership

When I showed up to buy my new car, the dealer said the price we agreed on was "before mandatory add-ons." Is that a common trick?

You agree on a price, show up ready to sign, and suddenly the dealer says that number was before “mandatory add-ons.” It feels like a bait-and-switch because, in many cases, that is exactly what regulators have accused some dealers of doing. The short answer is yes, this is a common enough trick that federal and state agencies have warned buyers about it for years.

My brother says electric cars will all be worthless in ten years because of battery degradation. Is that actually happening?

If you have ever shopped for a used electric car, you have probably heard the warning. Someone always says the battery will be toast in ten years and the whole car will be worthless. It is a powerful claim, but the real-world data now available in 2024 and 2025 paints a much more nuanced picture.

Someone smashed the window of my rental car and stole my luggage. Now the rental company is charging me for repairs. What can I do?

You park your rental car for what you think will be a quick stop. When you come back, the window is smashed and your luggage is gone. It's already a stressful moment but then a few days or weeks later, the rental company sends you a bill for the broken window. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common situation with rental cars. The good news is that being charged does not automatically mean you'll end up paying out of pocket.
