Guides walk through choosing a vehicle as a new driver, detailing paint and interior like a professional, and troubleshooting the problems that show up most often on an aging car. Other pieces cover driving safely in rain, snow or fog, protecting a parked car from thieves and vandals, and personalizing a ride on a modest budget. A list of useful accessories and a step by step method for selling quickly round out the collection.

New drivers should open the buying guide first, then read the bad weather tips before their first winter. Owners with a car that is acting up can go straight to the troubleshooting article, which helps decide whether a problem can wait or needs a mechanic. Anyone ready to part with a vehicle should read the selling guide before posting an ad.
