Taking an unguided, terror-fueled tour of a scary haunted house isn't for everyone. If you don't want your kids to sleep in your bed for the next 2 weeks, you might want to find other, less traumatizing Halloween activities for the family.
Sounds like trunk-or-treating is in your future! As an alternative to trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, a trunk-or-treat gives your kiddos every opportunity to fill up their bags with nutritious, healthy, 100% natural goodies. Just kidding—it's candy, of course! Here are some of the area's best Halloween events of 2022 for you to check…
Don’t ya just hate it when siblings fight?
Hyundai and Kia may both come from the same South Korean bloodline, but that doesn't mean their vehicles are identical twins. Let's look at and compare two of their most recognizable nameplates: the 2023 Tucson and Sportage. What’s the final word? Which is the best compact SUV?
We’ve all had that teeth-clacking experience: you’re driving along, and all of a sudden, your car lurches with an expensive-sounding crunch, and you realize you’ve hit a pothole – a big, juicy, "I definitely have rim damage" pothole.
Usually, hitting a pothole doesn’t do any permanent damage to your vehicle. In fact, pothole damage to cars is normally either minimal or nonexistent. However, if a pothole does damage your car, it’s crucial to know the warning signs and exactly what to do so you don’t mess your ride up further—or worse, put yourself in…

Thanks to a country-wide expansion of public EV charging stations, as well as boosts in driving range, electric cars are surprisingly accessible to most city dwellers, Birmingham residents included.
Now that range anxiety has been cured (kind of), it’s clear that the benefits of owning an EV outweigh the disadvantages. Deciding which electric vehicle to buy – well, that’s a whole other discussion.
There’s no question about it: the EV revolution is coming, and it’s coming fast, with many big-time automakers pledging to go all-electric by the end of the current decade. Still, some remain skeptical. Are electric cars worth it? Is now the best time to buy an electric vehicle, or should you wait a couple more years until the industry works out some kinks?
Let’s weigh the costs and benefits of buying an EV. We’ll also touch on why plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) might be a solid middle ground, depending on your needs.
Or is it? There’s some compelling evidence out there that points to these “convenient” washes actually being more damaging in the long run than other methods. First, let’s look at the different kinds (and a video of some real, big idiots going through car washes).
