Why I chose the Honda Fit

Honda Fit

Ah! New Car smell, it’s one of the best smelling things on the planet. In this case the source of  this smell is a spankin’ new Honda Fit that I recently acquired.

I personally think the design on this car is awesome! Read More »

Celebrate Earth Day, turn off a light switch

Canada's Earth Day logo

Yesterday was Earth Day, a day to stop our busy lives for an instant and reflect upon what it means to take care of this planet.

and how about when you go a see a Toyota car at the dealership

Well this costs $50k more than its closest competitor because…you guessed it…its TOYOTA MADE!

and you know one thing? They are correct! (well except for the kiss and the hug part) They are very good cars that will last a long time and will give you many years of driving comfort without breaking down on you. What I am ranting about here is the DEALERSHIPS. They suck so much they could suck a golf ball through a garden hose! Let me throw a little bit of context to you guys before you start whining that I’m soiling the almighty’s name. Read More »
