Miami’s Fake Driver’s-License Ring Got Busted by a Stuck Earpiece — But the DMV Should Be More Embarrassed Than the Suspects
One of the men allegedly cheating his way through the Florida driver’s license exam this month failed anyway. Not because the scheme didn’t work — because the earpiece feeding him answers got stuck in his ear canal, and fire rescue had to remove it. That’s the detail everyone will remember from this story. It shouldn’t…

Toronto Police Dropped 176 Fraud Charges Against These Salesmen. Ontario Still Won’t Let Them Near a Car Lot
Two former Mitsubishi dealership managers in Toronto just beat 176 criminal charges tied to an alleged stolen-car scheme. Every single one, gone.

Their Licenses Are Suspended. They’re Still Driving. Here’s the Loophole Nobody’s Closing
A suspended license is a piece of paper telling someone they can’t drive. It is not a physical barrier, a kill switch, or a cop riding shotgun.

Ford Turned an Illegal Tariff Refund Into a Great Quarter. A Mach-E Owner Wants His Cut.
Somewhere in Dearborn, an accountant made a call that a plaintiff’s lawyer in San Diego is about to make very expensive.

Winnebago And Grand Design Just Recalled The Same Fire Hazard. Neither One Built It.
That’s not a coincidence. It’s the RV industry accidentally admitting, in a federal filing, that it doesn’t build the parts that can burn its product down. Garage-worthy EDC gear, on sale this week.

The Gas Price Gap Between Indiana and Illinois Is Almost Criminal, and Oil Has Nothing to Do With It
AAA’s national gas price average moved again this week, climbing ten cents to $3.943 a gallon. If that trajectory feels familiar, it should. Gas has been drifting back toward $4 since the ceasefire with Iran collapsed, and the culprit this week isn’t a gas station owner padding margins. It’s a crude oil market pricing in…

Stellantis Is Bragging About European Growth. It Forgot to Mention a Chinese Company Delivered Most of It.
Stellantis told investors this week that its European shipments climbed five percent in the second quarter. That’s exactly the kind of number a company trying to prove it has turned a corner wants to lead with. Read past the top-line figure, though, and the recovery story gets complicated.

NTSB Says the Tesla That Killed a Katy Grandmother Wasn’t Self-Driving. That’s Not the Relief Tesla Wants It to Be
Tesla did not build the software that killed Martha Avila. That’s the headline finding from the National Transportation Safety Board, and Tesla wants you to sit with it.
