One of the blessings (or curses?) of car obsession is the ability to recognize vehicles from just seeing a headlight or the curve of a fender. Yet badge-envy reigns supreme in car-dom. And no matter the car under the badge, some folks think if it claims to be a better car then [...]

Have you ever seen someone do something so bizarre it defies all normal comprehension? Your brain grinds to a halt trying to figure out the thought process which lead to this stupefying display. Well, it just happened to me and my brain still hurts:
I just got back from a fantastic road trip around California. [...]

The Hands Free law went into effect today in California. For those of you who’ve been following along, we at Everyday Driver are big supporters of drivers not holding a phone to their face. But, even though we’re glad people will be using headsets, laws aren’t supposed to protect us from our own [...]

This topic has proven to be a popular one. Many of you agree that cars are saying things their owners never intended. And just like every mother thinking her child is beautiful, we all believe our car says great things about us. Sadly, it doesn’t work that way. If you missed [...]

Seems to me we should teach proper driving etiquette in school and take out calculus. You’ll never need any math you can’t do on a cell phone calculator, but [...]

Watching the latest trends in the auto industry has me wondering how soon people will be asking this question. Like reminiscing about jelly shoes and acid wash jeans, I fear hands-on time behind the wheel is headed for the memory box. As we become more gadget obsessed and wired for anything, car-makers are [...]

I find myself wondering what year it is, not because we just celebrated New Year, but because I’m noticing the resurgence of a car accessory I believed was long dead: The little yellow yield sign declaring “Baby on Board”. It’s back, and that’s not a good thing.
In the late 1980s, these suction cupped [...]

I love to drive. For some, it’s merely time spent while traveling to the next destination, but for me, it’s like therapy. Whenever I enter a freeway, a little squeak of joy escapes me–it’s like the glimmering onramp to my Happy Place—especially if it comes with curves! That’s why it really ticks [...]
