I’ve been with Kelley Blue Book since 2006. Today I’m involved with content production, asset management, vehicle procurement, content inventory and metrics, and occasionally writing vehicle-to-vehicle comparisons and long-term updates. In my spare time, I drive a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro that's been a slow restoration project. For trips to the local Home Depot, I drive a 1970 Chevrolet C20.

What Are Power Outlets?

Frankie Rogers - May 13, 2024

Power outlets, typically a 12-volt or USB, provide electricity as direct current (DC) for various objects ranging from navigation screens to phone chargers to in-car vacuums. Some cars have onboard power inverters and deliver alternating current (AC) power through power outlets that match household 3-prong outlets.

What Is Cruise Control?

Frankie Rogers - April 18, 2024

Cruise control is a system that allows the driver to set their car to drive at a specific speed. The driver selects the speed, then takes their foot off the accelerator, and the vehicle will cruise at the set speed. To deactivate, the driver can tap the brakes or disengage the system. The benefits of using the cruise control feature are better fuel efficiency and reduced foot fatigue during long drives.
