CHICAGO, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, one of the
leading websites for buying and selling a car, today launched a new
feature with valuable advice for motorists who might find
themselves stuck by the side of the road. "Automotive
Disasters" contains the information drivers will need to cope with
the unexpected surprises that arise while on the road.

information for people who are actively buying and selling a car,"
