The Big Question: Are Auto Shoppers Just Postponing Purchases, Or Punting Indefinitely
A crucial question facing the U.S. auto industry is whether consumers are just postponing car and truck purchases for later in 2020, or canceling them completely for this year and beyond — there are strong arguments either way, and the wild card is how long the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Survey data from online marketplace CarGurus suggests many would-be buyers will be right back, once business opens back up again.
Data Security in a Connected Car World
A recent survey from auto shopping and research site CarGurus.com asked consumers questions about their knowledge of connected car security. The results were startling: consumers scored an average grade of a failing 49%. When this is paired with Upstream’s data showing that connected-car attacks have increased six-fold from 2014-2018. It suggests that consumers haven’t been able to keep up with connected car technology, despite their increasing adoption rates.
Your Car Is Hackable---Here Are Three Steps You Can Take
We’re used to protecting the information on our smartphones by keeping strong passwords and setting a lock screen. But fewer people know about the importance of protecting the information in their vehicles. Earlier this year, the automotive shopping website CarGurus asked 1,020 consumers questions about common security practices and the risks of connected cars. Here are three main issues the survey uncovered about connected car security: 1. Critical vehicle components are hackable.
Bridging the Scattered Car-Buying Journey
Car buying is vastly different today than it was 10 years ago. It’s no longer a linear process, with buyers spending progressively more time in each stage as they move toward the purchase. Today’s scattered journey is full of interruptions. CarGurus and GfK recently studied the digital purchase paths of over 3,000 car buyers. The resulting Buyer Insight Report highlights many factors contributing to the shopping process becoming more fractured.
With Teeth - Folio Weekly
Every rock band has a talker. I don’t mean a spokesperson, mind you. I mean a talker—someone who can’t abide silence, someone who regales an audience of one or 1,000 as a matter of life and death, in both a tour van and in interviews with Folio Weekly. This is as it should be, by the way. Talk may be cheap, but it’s what interviews are made of. As for those long, empty hours between tour stops, they’re better filled with words than heavy breathing or trumpet scales.
Code-Switching and Homecoming
That was my first thought as I walked up to the brightly painted art gallery on King Street. A DJ banged Erykah Badu and Souls of Mischief from the speaker and a barbecue food truck was parked in front. Across the gravel lot, a small table manned by a cheerful woman was set up for guests to sign in and grab a beverage. The block party-like atmosphere outside was only a small taste of the sublime feeling that would subsume me inside.
Gay High School Valedictorian Says Parents Evicted and Cut Him Off for Rejecting Strict Baptist Church
Update: Seth Owen's story went viral and Georgetown University has offered him a full scholarship. He now plans to use his good fortune to help others. Read his thank you here. This is not how things were supposed to go for Seth Owen. The 18-year-old First Coast High School co-valedictorian, student leader, athlete and extremely snappy dresser was supposed to spend his last summer at home, getting ready for college in the Ivy Leagues.
Her Own Song of Life
What does it take to resist suicide? What does it take to ignore the siren call of the quiet of death, the release of non-being? And, more important, what does it take to do this if you are a black woman living in America? Artist Erin Kendrick doesn’t necessarily have the answers, but she is committed to asking the kinds of questions that reveal a way through.

Pop Culture Trends and the Romanticization of Mental Illness
It's no secret that there is a stigma against mental health related illnesses. Because many are unable to understand and empathize with those who are struggling with different disorders, it’s difficult to speak out and receive help. Many people don't believe that depression, anxiety, and other mental health related disorders are just as important to treat as physical injuries or illness. If you break your leg, you need to see a doctor. If you’re struggling with depression, you need to do the same.
Let's Stop Major Shaming
This May, I’ll be leaving campus for good. After a long four years, my time as an undergrad will come to an end. The all-nighters, coffee addiction, cramming, and finals weeks will all be in the past—although, let's be real, I’ll probably still keep the coffee addiction. As my final weeks rapidly approach, I’m constantly finding myself reflecting on what's happening around me.

It is important to stand up and support marginalized groups as many Americans feel misrepresented by the government. Here are four ways to celebrate and become actively involved this Women's History Month: Read Angela Davis’s Freedom is a Constant Struggle. Davis is a life-long political, feminist, and civil rights activist.
10 Is a Boy, 6 Is a Girl: My Experience with Ordinal Linguistic Personification
Ever since I can remember, I’ve gendered numbers, letters, months of the year, and days of the week. And, on top of that, I see numbers and letters with different personalities. 9 is a man wearing a coat and tie. 2 is a woman. 3 is a teenage boy with lots to say. November is a mother figure who dresses in earth tones. Thursday is a boy, dressed in green, and is a great conversationalist. I know what you’re thinking—what the fuck is she talking about?
A Letter to My Best Friend
Being a senior in college is a tricky situation. You’re torn between moving forward into the adult world and clinging to nostalgia. As my time at Kutztown University comes to a close, I can’t help but look back at what my undergraduate career has given me-- an incredible best friend. If you’re nervous about moving on to bigger and better things in life, try to look back on the fun you’ve had and try to reflect on who stood by you the entire time. For me, this is my best friend since freshman year.
How to Keep Your Resolutions
It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in a brand new year. If you’re anything like me, you probably suffer from Unrealistic Resolution Syndrome (n): the idea that your life will drastically change and you’ll accomplish everything you’ve hoped for once that ball drops. I think it’s time for me to evaluate what’s realistic and what isn’t.
