Top 5 Car Safety Features to Look for When Buying Your Next Car
It’s amazing to think airbags and seat belts are both relatively new safety features in cars across the world. Seat belts didn’t become mandatory in the United States until 1983, and airbags not until 1998. That marks almost 100 years of the car before putting in safety features that many of us today have never lived without. With technology booming and talks of self-driving cars, it’s not shocking that manufacturers are starting to streamline these features in their newer, everyday models.

Whether you just need a jump start or you're on the side of the road when all major metropolitan areas in the US are subjected to a tactical nuclear strike, you'll be grateful to have the best foods for your car survival kit within arm's reach. Food is as important as a change of clothes, a first aid kit, or toilet paper. And since a car survival kit doesn't expire, you can just set it and forget it in your trunk.

When something goes wrong with your car, you can usually tell right away by the way something sounds or feels.

Rideshare Etiquette
These are the days where rideshare companies are owning the market. Although there are no doubt many rideshare websites and apps around the world right now, two top contenders are the infamous Lyft and Uber apps. Both apps are free to download on your mobile device so long as you use a debit or credit card once you are ready to request a ride. In the early stages of both apps (Uber debuting in 2009 whereas Lyft wasn't founded until 2012), you were able to get a first free ride of up to 20 dollars. I'm not sure if that still stands now, but I do know if someone lets you use their code, then you do get some sort of promotion. Since I am an avid user of both apps, I will happily input my codes at the bottom of this post for anyone who is new to the apps and has not requested a first ride. The code does not expire until you use it the first time, then no more promotions are usable from that code unless a new account from a different phone and phone number is made.
