I don't think the parent said it was creating a "subprime crisis". I believe his point was that people with poor credit are buying a vehicle under "sub-prime" terms, meaning high interest rates and other onerous te

Perhaps I missed something in the article where the television has its own LTE (or other data connection) to call home without the owners knowledge. My "smart tv" stays disconnected from the WIFI. Problem solved.

I was right there with you. Earlier this year, my high miles Camry started to have problems, and so I had to do something. I went with a new car that would be a good hand-me-down for my kids when they reach driving age, expecting some nice
