Car Shopping Etiquette; Pricey Pickups; Can Dash Cams Save on Insurance? | Talking Cars #289

Are there rules of etiquette you should follow when test driving or purchasing a car? Can installing a dash cam in your vehicle save you money on car insurance? This week, we answer these questions, and discuss other topics, including the rising prices on pickup trucks; why a car recall might show up on services like CARFAX but not on NHTSA.gov; why an auto manufacturer would design a car with tail lights in its bumper. We also suggest a replacement car for a teenager currently driving a Tesla Model Y. ----------------------------------- Subscribe to Talking Cars on Apple Podcasts!
