Buckle Up for Bizarre: America's Craziest Car Laws

We love cars. We love selling them, buying them, and most importantly, helping you find the perfect vehicle for your needs. But even we have to admit, sometimes the laws surrounding cars can be a little... strange.

So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as we explore some of the craziest car laws in the United States:

1. Alabama: Feeling adventurous? Well, don't even think about driving blindfolded in the "Heart of Dixie." This one seems like a no-brainer, but hey, you never know!

2. Alaska: While you're at it, leave your furry friend safe and sound at home when exploring Alaska's breathtaking landscapes. Tying your dog to the roof of your car is a big no-no here.

3. Arizona: Feeling the heat and need to reverse out of that crowded parking lot? Think again in Arizona, where driving in reverse on a public road is strictly prohibited. Maybe this is their way of encouraging parallel parking skills?

4. Arkansas: Got a late-night craving? Be mindful of the time in Arkansas. Honking your car horn after 9 pm near a place serving cold drinks or sandwiches is a surefire way to get a noise violation.

5. California: This one's for the fashionistas: ditch the housecoat while driving in California. Though rarely enforced, this law raises an eyebrow on the practicality scale.

6. Colorado: Feeling fancy in your black car? Save your cruising for weekdays in Denver, where driving a black car on Sundays is against the law. We're not sure what the reasoning is, but hey, maybe it's just bad luck for black cars on Sundays

7. Delaware: Need a quick outfit change before that important meeting? Not in your car if you're in Delaware. Public indecency laws extend to your vehicle, so keep those wardrobe changes discreet.

8. Florida: Known for its quirky laws, Florida takes the cake with this one. If you ever find yourself tying an elephant, goat, or alligator to a parking meter, remember, by law, you're responsible for feeding the meter!

9. Georgia: We get it, sometimes you just gotta spit. But in Georgia, think twice before doing it from a car or bus. Apparently, it's perfectly fine to do it from a truck, though. Don't ask us why.

10. Hawaii: Flashing your hazard lights might seem like the universal sign for "trouble ahead," but not in Hawaii. Using hazard lights while your vehicle is in motion is illegal there. So, how do you warn other drivers you need to pull over? We're not sure, but maybe a good old fashioned hand signal is the way to go!

These are just a few examples of the many strange and unusual car laws out there. While some are more humorous than others, it's always a good idea to be familiar with the laws in your area to avoid any unwanted surprises on your next road trip.

In the meantime. when you're in the market for a new car, call or stop by and we'll do our best to find the perfect one for you.

But Can It Fit Into Your Pocket?

A Journey from Nostalgia to Innovation

Remember the days when flip phones were all the rage? Everyone thought they had the latest and greatest. Fast forward to today, and voila – the Google Pixel Flip phone is here, flipping the script on tech nostalgia. It's like tech fashion – everything old is new again! And guess what? The car industry is getting in on the retro action too with foldable cars. That’s right, cars that fold. Because why park a car when you can fold it like laundry?

Foldable Cars: A Glimpse into the Future

Enter the Lakota, the car that doesn't believe in taking up space. Could it just be the answer to the problem in cities where parking spots are as rare as a calm day on social media? This foldable wonder shrinks to fit into spaces that even a Smart Car would balk at. But let's be real – while squeezing your car into a space sounds cool, what about squeezing yourself into it?

Real Talk: Cool Tech or Sardine Can?

The Lakota is undeniably the cool kid on the block, but let's be real. If you've got a family, play in a band, or just like room to stretch your legs, this is not your dream ride. For those times, we've got a lineup of cars that won't require you to fold your passengers into origami.

Tech Meets Practicality: The Best of Both Worlds

We love tech, and who doesn't want to feel like they're living in the future? But we also know that sometimes, you just need a car that feels like a car and not a piece of space-saving furniture. That's why we’re here to help you find a car that’s not only affordable but you also won’t hit your elbow on the door every time you try to turn. So, whether you're into the nostalgia of flip phones, intrigued by the origami magic of foldable cars, or just want something that comfortably gets you from A to B, we've got you covered.

Stop by for a test drive and be on your way in your next car today.

If It Looks To Good To Be True It Probably Is

When you read that headline, I bet you were more than just skeptical. In fact you already knew it couldn't possibly be true. So how someone possibly be selling brand new Tesla's for just a dollar? The answer is they aren't but that's not the point. The headline got your attention.

While our exercise in skepticism was easy to spot, unfortunately that's not always the case. Online scammers have for years tried to take advantage of people, but with the surge in used car values, they are working overtime. With so many people out of work and struggling to make ends meet, scammers know that now is the time to strike.

One of their tried and true methods they like to use is posting to online classified sites. They post incredible sounding deals on cars with the hope some unsuspecting victim will take the bait. They even go to legitimate used car dealers website's to steal the cars' information and images. All of this is to try and lure you in so they can get your money. So how can you spot these scams?

Here are a few things to look out for:

1. The price is too good to be true - This should be obvious but unfortunately it's not always.

2. They refuse to meet in person - A common tactic of scammers is to insist on communicating only through email or text. They will give all kinds of excuses as to why they can't meet in person but the truth is they don't want to get caught.

3. They ask for payment upfront - This is a huge red flag. No legitimate seller is going to ask for payment before you even see the product.
