Ohio Police Ask If Uber Can Handle 911 Calls Now As 41 Cruisers Face Repossession

Image
Lorain County deputies say 41 cruisers may be repossessed Monday. Officers removed radios, weapons, and gear from all police cruisers. County says budget cuts are hitting multiple public departments. In what sounds like a bad joke, but isn’t, citizens of Lorain County in Ohio could soon face much longer wait times when they call the police . Why? According to the Sheriff’s Office, the county government has defaulted on lease payments for its patrol cruisers. On Monday, the rental car company, Enterprise, might repossess 41 units. The warning came from the Lorain County Deputies Association, which issued a sharply worded public statement saying county commissioners failed to pay roughly $57,000 in lease payments owed to Enterprise Fleet Management.

Buick’s Kendrick Lamar Ad Dangled The GNX, Then Cut To A Korean-Made SUV

Image
Buick uses GNX nostalgia without offering a modern performance halo. The Envista has no visual or mechanical connection to the iconic GNX. Fans are ripping the ad online for the anticlimactic letdown in the end. It’s Super Bowl season, and that means new ads and commercials. On paper, the setup for Buick’s latest sounds perfect. Kendrick Lamar, his Grammy-winning “tv off,” and a black-and-white aesthetic. A vintage television flickers to life, and at its center is a black Buick Grand National Experimental otherwise known as the fabled GNX. It’s one of the most iconic American performance cars of the 1980s, and it hits as Lamar recites the line “all I ever wanted was a black Grand National.” Read: Buick Was Killing It, Then Came Trump’s Tariffs It feels like Buick is about to maybe do something big and bold. But then the camera pans out, the TV shuts off, and we have a red 2026 Envista. That sound you hear is the collective sigh of the internet seeing what might be a ...

Mitsubishi Owners Are Finally Getting New Hoods, But That’s Not Who Won Big

Image
Mitsubishi must replace hoods on fluttering 2022 Outlander models. Plaintiffs will each receive $5,000 for the defective hood issue. Dealers must ensure the replacement hood matches the paint finish. Mitsubishi will offer hood replacements to certain Outlander owners following a legal dispute that targeted a strange but persistent problem: “fluttering” hoods at highway speeds. The company’s move, which includes a new technical service bulletin, marks the end of a class-action lawsuit filed over the issue last year. In mid-2025, a lawsuit filed in the US alleged that the hoods of 2022 Outlanders models visibly bounce and flutter while driving, raising concerns over safety and build quality. The plaintiffs demanded a recall to fix the defect. Read: It Bounces, It Flutters, And Now It’s Headed To Court While Mitsubishi had already issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) back in December 2021 instructing dealers to install a revised hood with an updated weather strip,...

Nearly 20,000 Prius models recalled for door latch failures. Water can short-circuit rear door opener switches mid-drive. Tundra trucks recalled for backup camera software glitches. Electric door latches are all the rage these days, if not for popularity then for actual rage, as buyers and lawmakers question their safety .

According to Transport Canada , the recall affects 19,399 Toyota vehicles, all of them Prius and Prius Prime models from the 2023 through 2026 model years.

A Mustang Rolled, A McLaren’s Destroyed, And Everyone’s Guessing Why

Image
A McLaren and Mustang were wrecked in a San Juan area crash. McLaren likely a 570S, Mustang appears to be a GT from 2015–2017. Authorities have not confirmed whether street racing was involved.

That’s evident after photos popped up of a serious crash involving a Ford Mustang and a McLaren 650S that appears to have taken place in Puerto Rico. While full details are still unclear, the Puerto Rico Police (PPR) released images of the aftermath, and early reports suggest street racing may have played a role.

This Is Why Buying One Of These Mercedes New Makes No Sense

Image
This GLS600 shed a huge chunk of value after very few miles. Letting the first owner take the hit can save serious money. Two tone paint alone added $18,500 to the window sticker. There’s no shortage of plush SUVs on the market, but few lean into opulence quite like the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600. Still, for all its lavish appeal, the GLS600 shares a common and rather unglamorous trait with many other high-end Mercedes models: brutal depreciation. Read: Rearview Mirrors Might Fall Off These High-End Mercedes And Maybach SUVs If you’re thinking of buying one new and happen to care about resale value, you may want to think twice. Take this 2025 GLS600, for example. Only recently acquired by its current lessee for $207,300, it was listed for auction on Bring a Trailer, with 2,600 miles (about 4,180 km) on the odometer. And this isn’t some outdated model either, as it’s a 2025 model year vehicle first registered at the end of August 2025. Despite its near-new condition, ...
