Stretching Your Dollar: What the UAW Strike Means for Car Buyers
The United Auto Workers union has officially started its strike against the big three U.S. car makers.

"The prices are going to go up but this isn't a strike that includes all brands," he said. "It's going to be a more gradual slow burn and some of the incentives that we've seen may go gradually away."

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
