I’d been having issues with the Jeep and death wobble, and I was throwing money at the problem (it’s a Jeep, after all). Tie rod ends were worn so I replaced them. The track bar was squirrely so that was replaced. And I still had the issue — I found out on my way...

I drive a convertible now and I have in the past. There’s something about the wind in my hair and the sun on my skin that makes and keeps me happy. I love new cars (don’t we all?) so I’m always shopping for the convertible that will replace my current one. That meant I...
