    Luxury Car Struggles
    Jan 16 2026
    Everybody loves the look of a luxury car — the glide, the badge, the status. But the real cost lives after the sale. In this episode I break down the three big money traps: massive depreciation, brutal maintenance bills on European marques, and fragile electronics that turn small impacts into huge dealer invoices.

  • People Are Surrendering Cars Instead of Paying

    People Are Surrendering Cars Instead of Paying
    Jan 9 2026
    Many Americans are struggling with high prices, expensive housing, and recent job losses, leading to a significant car repossession crisis. People are finding it increasingly difficult to manage their car payments, contributing to widespread economic instability. This has resulted in a rise in voluntary car surrender, as individuals opt to give up their vehicles rather than face repossession, highlighting the immense financial stress many are experiencing.

  • Your Car Is a Data Goldmine—Cybersecurity Expert Warns Drivers Are Exposed

    Your Car Is a Data Goldmine—Cybersecurity Expert Warns Drivers Are Exposed
    Jan 2 2026
    Your car doesn’t just drive anymore.
    It stores data, connects to your phone, tracks locations, and communicates with the cloud. And according to cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano, that makes modern vehicles—and the dealerships that sell and service them—prime targets for criminals. In this episode, we sit down with one of the most trusted voices in personal and digital security to unpack a reality most drivers aren’t prepared for: cars are now computers on wheels.

    Robert has spent over 30 years investigating crime, identity theft, and cyber threats. He’s appeared on CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, Fox News, and more—but today, the focus is on what every car owner, buyer, and dealer needs to understand right now. In this conversation, we break down:
    • What data modern vehicles collect
    • How hackers exploit connected car systems
    • Why dealerships are attractive cyber targets
    • The hidden risks tied to apps, EVs, and remote access
    • Simple steps drivers can take to protect themselves
    If you own a car, plan to buy one, or work in the auto industry, this conversation isn’t optional—it’s essential. 👇 Share this with someone who drives
