Electricity is a crazy animal.  You plug something into an outlet and it magically gives it power.  How the hell does that work?

Of course, you should always remember to lock your car door but now that it's summer and more people are spending time outside, it also means an increase of car break-in's. The Grand Rapids Police Department posted on their Facebook page that The warm weather has brought with it an increase in larcenies from vehicles in the metropolitan area...

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall on over 36,000 of their newer cars due to airbag issues. Ford was notified by Takata, the company that makes the airbags, that they may not inflate properly. Ford said in their news release: .....

Today Ford announced that instead of spending billion of dollars building a new plant in Mexico for production, they're going to instead spend $700 Million right here in Michigan! The plant will expand it's manufacturing of electric and autonomous vehicles, and the money will be right here in Michigan.

How do you feel about self driving cars? What about sell driving car companies? Would you ride in a self driving car? Man, I am not sure I would.

How would you feel if this happened to you? A car salesman rummaged through customers' phones and found nudes, then uploaded them to a swingers' website.

About 2 a.m. Thursday, a woman in her 20s was driving in San Diego when her car broke down in the middle of a busy Interstate 15. She'd been drinking. So, she got out of her car and started stumbling down the highway looking for someone with jumper cables. A KGTV-TV ABC 10 News reporter happened to see her and started shooting video.

Getting towed is really annoying, not to mention expensive. However, this guy in Chicago had an idea about preventing his vehicle from being towed. He parked somewhere he wasn't supposed to. So, he came out to see a tow truck hooking up his car to take it away...

"The Price Is Right" indeed! That was especially true for Andrea, a contestant on the CBS-TV game show who did not even have to play to win her prize of a brand new car.

In the Grand Theft Auto series of games, if you really, really piss off the cops, they track you down and ram your car repeatedly, almost unnecessarily at times. A car chase recently in Albany, Ga., was very similar to the video games.

I know you want to drive and text, but those pesky cops, and the horror videos on the internet with the "this was the last text they sent before the accident killed them" message are bumming you out. What's person to do? How can you live without multitasking in the car? Get the Navdy! "It's like driving in the future."

Well, we're officially living in the future. The folks at Delphi Automotive PLC have been working hard over the past years to get their self-driving car ready for the masses. And if all goes according to plan over the next week and a half, they will be one step closer to that goal.
