About
The Auto Wire has covered cars since 2022, and we answer to readers, not automakers. We dig into the stories that hit drivers directly: recalls and safety defects, dealer fees and pricing games, police license-plate-reader searches, court cases, theft rings, and what automakers’ own filings actually say.
Our Editorial Approach
We name our sources and link to them, so you can check the record yourself.
Every article is reviewed for accuracy before publication. We correct errors transparently and update stories when new information becomes available.
We aim to inform — not inflame.
Our Team
Eve Nowell
Eve reads the paperwork automakers and regulators would rather you skip: EPA filings, investor decks, NHTSA probes, and recall notices. She covers recalls, tariffs, car prices and loan terms, and traffic cameras, with a focus on what each change means for drivers’ safety and wallets.
Johnny Lloyd
Johnny covers what happens to cars and drivers after the sale: theft rings, speed and plate-reader cameras, dealer fees and title fights, data breaches and app tracking, and the lawsuits and police records behind crashes, takeovers, and fires. He reports on what the records show, not what the press release says.
Shawn Henry
Shawn covers license-plate readers and the court fights over them, what $4 gas does to showroom traffic, and the spec-sheet details that decide which truck you actually buy. He checks the filing or the spec sheet before he quotes the press release.
Kyle Matthews
Kyle covers NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar and endurance racing, plus the money side of owning a car: fuel costs, camera fees and the occasional patent.
EL Puckett
Elizabeth covers the places cars and the law collide: what automakers do with driver data once it leaves the dashboard, and what the statutes say when a 2 a.m. street race turns into a pursuit. She reads the filings and arrest reports so readers can tell what’s alleged from what’s been proven.
