One can never have enough Harry Dresden. This is one of my personal laws. Or Jim Butcher in general, really - not sure whether I want the next Dresden book or the next Aeronaut's windlass book more.
What, Stephanie Plum? You've never heard of her? Series of books by Janet Evanovich (the first one became a movie with Katherine Heigl. Objectively, it really wasn't bad). They all have number titles, so it's easy to tell where you are in the series. Stephanie always has crap cars because she's always semi-broke; it's now an official running gag that she never has the same car at the end of a book that she does at the beginning, because they keeping getting destroyed. One of my personal faves is the first car her pal Ranger (half Cuban, half black, 150% badass) loans her - a Porsche that crashes into a garbage truck and then the bomb goes off. Also the truck that gets taken out by a bazooka. The books have gotten a bit formulaic since the mid-teens or so, I think, but they're still good screwball comedy. Start with One for the Money
