What's Your Worst Auto Parts Store Experience?
What's your worst auto parts store experience? As someone who used to work in retail, the expertise and enthusiasm of the employees can make or break the visit to a store. Most people just want to walk in, get what they're looking for and head back out the door. If the shelves aren't properly stocked, the staff have no idea what you're talking about or the checkout lines are moving at a snail's pace, it's going to be a frustrating experience for everyone. It might make you regret choosing a particular store over somewhere else.

Look Both Ways Before You Cross An Aisle At An Auto Parts Store
While I don't have an anecdote to share, there is a story that illustrates how a bad auto parts store experience can extend far beyond incompetent employees or damaged merchandise. In June, someone crashed a Toyota Rav4 straight into an O'Reilly Auto Parts in Kansas City, through the building's siding and a brick wall. Thankfully, no one was injured, with the driver being taken to the hospital as a precaution. The Kansas City Fire Department had to remove an additional section of the wall to tow the SUV out of the store. According to KCTV, the damage was so significant that the O'Reilly Auto Parts was added to the city's list of dangerous buildings.
Please share your auto parts store horror stories in the comments section below. Hopefully, your worst store run didn't include dodging an SUV hurtling through the aisles.

NASCAR to return to Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet on July 4th weekend in 2026
While taking a break from the Chicago Street Race in Grant Park next year, NASCAR will return to the Chicagoland Speedway in southwest suburban Joliet for the July 4th weekend. It mark's NASCAR's first time back in Joliet in seven years, with an O'Reilly Auto Parts Series points-paying race on Saturday, July 4, 2026; and a Cup Series race on Sunday, July 5. "Our fans have been asking for a race in Joliet (Illinois) for the past several years," said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR executive vice president, chief venue & racing innovation officer. "If you look at the racing product on our mile-and-a-half tracks, they've been some of the most competitive and compelling events that we've had in our season, and we're confident that Joliet is going to deliver exactly that." The Cup Series race in Joliet will be the second race of NASCAR's five-race In-Season Challenge, with drivers competing head-to-head in a bracket-style competition for a $1 million prize. The announcement comes weeks after NASCAR announced the Chicago Street Race would not return to downtown Chicago in 2026, after three years in Grant Park, as organizers work with the city to find a possible new date for the race and a more efficient plan in 2027.

This Homemade EV Buggy Took on the Rubicon Trail and Won—Twice
The latest car news, reviews, and features. If you don't know by now, the Rubicon Trail is a chore. It tests even the most hardcore factory off-road trucks with giant boulders, tight pathways, and the occasional water crossing. You have to be brave to think you can build something from scratch to conquer the 22-miler—either that, or just plain ready to party. I'm not sure which category Nick Dey fits into, but he designed and fabricated this bespoke EV rock buggy in less than seven weeks before traversing the Rubicon the hard way. Emails and DMs flooded my inbox in the past couple of weeks telling me I should talk with Dey because he's too humble to make a big deal of it. I learned during a quick phone call that not only did he make something special, but he did it on a reasonable budget in practically no time at all. That's the perk of being an expert online shopper and a pro fabricator, as Dey co-owns 80% Off-Road with his pal John Graham. 'We had a weekend wheeling trip in Cougar Buttes near Johnson Valley, and I saw a buggy guy having way more fun than me,' Dey recalled. 'I called my metal supply, got a quote for the tubing, and it was 400 bucks or something. I was like, 'Okay, well, I guess we're doing this.'' Dey only worked on the build during nights and weekends. Still, within less than two months, it was running the Rubicon. Nick Dey Dey stressed that he never drew up anything in CAD; he just went for it. The buggy started with a seat on the floor, and Dey simply built around that. The result is a roughly 1,400-pound buggy that uses three 48-volt batteries that he bought off Amazon, an HPEVS AC-20 motor that was listed on eBay, and, interestingly, a T90 three-speed manual transmission from a flatfender Jeep (more on that in a bit). The buggy uses Samurai axles and 35-inch UTV tires to prove not everybody needs one-tons and 40s. Inside those stick axles are 4.57 gears and lockers, which work in concert with the aforementioned transmission to net some serious gear reduction. Dey tells me the electric motor only makes 30 horsepower or so, but thanks to the three-speed gearbox and two-speed transfer case, he's able to eek out every ounce of twist. That's the key to using a small battery pack and compact electric motor. 'Before, it was just a two-speed, so high and low. Then I added the three-speed manual transmission, so essentially, it's a six-speed now.' — Nick Dey And it is compact, too. Dey likened the motor to a fire extinguisher that weighs about 60 pounds. The unit's diameter is a skosh under 7 inches, while it measures 11.35 inches long. He positioned it under the floor, near the front of the rig, showing just how big the packaging benefit is when you go electric. 'You can really control your weight distribution,' he added. 'It made it a lot easier not having to build around a small-block [V8] or something.' As for suspension, the buggy runs a three-link front setup and a four-link rear. Ian Lane-Lohse at Wheel Every Weekend valved the Fox 2.0×8.5-inch air shocks, which Dey picked for their affordability. None of it is particularly complex, though it is purpose-built and effective. The same can be said of the entire machine, really. That's a 3,000-pound Smittybuilt XR3K winch on the back. Nick Dey Dey estimates that he put approximately $10,000 in the whole thing, of which about half came from the EV components. While he notes that electric powertrains aren't 'super cheap,' this build is like 'a drop in the bucket' compared to the Jeeps and whatnot he's owned in the past. Plus, it'll run the entire Rubicon without any fast-charger woes: 'I just plug it into the wall for eight to 10 hours and it's good to go.' From a napkin drawing to a roller in two weeks and wheeling the Rubicon in seven, the buggy is 'really close to its final form,' Dey told me. It doesn't need to be anything more than it is because it already slays trails in its current form. Dey lives in SoCal, so he can trailer it wherever he wants, wheel it for the day, and drag it back home to plug in for the next trip. I'm not sure what else you could want from a homebuilt crawler.
