There are so many opportunities to use a video camera in this day and age. Whether it’s something that we learn from or something that gives us a very good laugh, video cameras have helped us in so many ways!

Have you considered owning a vehicle dashcam?

Floor mats are not typically something people spend a lot of time thinking about. But floor mats are important when it comes to protecting your car's interior and keeping it clean. Our shoes drag in all sorts of outside pollutants that can damage or stain your car's interior carpet. Factory floor mats can often lack the size and durability needed to protect the carpet underneath adequately. Luckily there is a wide variety of aftermarket floor mat options available.

The most important consideration when choosing between the two most common types of floor mats, all-weather rubber mats...

Vehicles typically have bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties. Powertrain warranties cover the components that supply power to the wheels to make the vehicle move. As the coverage is less extensive, the warranty is less expensive. Bumper-to-bumper warranties cover powertrains and more.

The comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranties are more expensive as they cover the vehicle parts that are designed to last longer. They do not cover wearable parts that include braking system components, tires or the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. They may not cover hoses or certain...

When you own a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle, you have many benefits. You have the flexibility to drive in inclement weather while many are grounded, take a more challenging course than a two-wheel drive can, and help your friends out of tough situations. That’s all due to the transfer case, or rather to the gears housed inside.

Years ago, most vehicles needed to have an oil change about every 3,000 miles. This is no longer the case today, but a number of drivers still use this principle as a way to care for their cars.

Typically, modern cars can go about 7,500 miles before an oil change is necessary. There are even some cars that can go every 10,000 miles without having to get an oil change. These days, it's best to change the oil less often, since the chemistry of oil has changed and most cars run better on synthetic oil. The…
