Forgotten 1970s Gas Station Brands—Even Baby Boomers Can't Remember 5 Of These

Gas stations were everywhere in the 1970s. But many of the names on those signs were not the same as they are today. And we're betting that most people probably couldn't name five of them—even if they filled up there every week.

My Dealer Advertised A Low Price, But Every Car On The Lot Has Mandatory Add-Ons. Is That False Advertising?

You find a car advertised online for $29,995, arrive at the dealership, and suddenly learn that a protection package, security system, or other dealer product is mandatory. The vehicle may now cost thousands more than the number that brought you through the door. Under current Federal Trade Commission guidance, that kind of pricing can raise serious concerns under federal law.

My car wash ripped off a piece of trim

A car wash ripped a piece of trim off my car, but the sign says they're not responsible for damage. Does a sign really excuse them?

You pull out of the wash, spot a dangling strip of trim, and then see the familiar disclaimer on the wall. It is meant to shut the conversation down before it starts. But a sign alone usually does not get a business off the hook for every kind of damage.

A valet returned my car with the wheel badly scraped, but he said it was already like that. Who has to prove what happened?

You hand over your keys, expect a smooth night, and then spot a chewed-up wheel when the car comes back. The valet says it was already there. In that moment, the big question is not just who caused the damage, but who has to prove what really happened.

My dealer sold me a 'new' car with 700 miles on it and says test drives don't make it used.

My dealer sold me a "new" car with 700 miles on it and says test drives don't make it used. At what point is a new car no longer new?

You show up expecting a factory-fresh car and then spot 700 miles on the odometer. That number can feel like a gut punch, especially when the dealer still calls the car “new.” The frustrating part is that there is no single nationwide mileage cutoff that automatically flips a new car into used status.

My catalytic converter was stolen twice in one year, and my insurer says another claim could raise my rates. Am I supposed to pay for theft myself?

Getting your catalytic converter stolen once is maddening. Getting hit twice in a single year, then hearing your insurer warn that another claim could push your premium up, feels like a trap. The hard truth is that yes, some drivers end up paying for theft themselves, even when theft is exactly the kind of loss insurance is supposed to cover.

Confused Driver Checks Her Mileage

My lease is ending and I discovered I'm thousands of miles over the limit. Is buying the car cheaper than paying the mileage penalty?

Your lease is ending, you check the odometer, and suddenly the math gets ugly. If you are thousands of miles over your limit, the mileage penalty can easily run into the high hundreds or several thousand dollars. The good news is that buying the car can sometimes be cheaper than handing it back and paying the overage.
