Do You Judge People With Nice Cars? Shame On You!!..

You know it’s hard not to notice a nice car, at least it is for me. It sticks out, it’s shiny, it’s sporty, it doesn’t have a roof, perhaps it’s absolutely enormous (think Hummer), whatever the reason for it sticking out – it does. I’m not sure about you, but as soon as I notice a nice car, I try to take a look at who’s driving it. What am I thinking?

Hmm… honestly, I guess it all depends on the [...]

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots

This really is a helpful tip, and I would suggest that all Islanders take a look at this tip as it may help to avoid an accident or two which certainly could have been avoided.

I’ve written before about how bad Islanders are at driving.. and generally it’s when I’m on my way home for lunch every day. I’ve decided that once I get a little mini-HD camera, I’m going to mount it to my dash every day and just record [...]

How Much Is My Car Costing Me?

Alrighty, well I had a pretty great weekend with some great friends, family and perhaps drink of wine or two.. some card games, board games, and wine games were had. I’m also VERY pumped that I finally sold my winter car I’ve used the last two years as well, it’s been for sale since the beginning of the summer so to have it gone is a big relief, even if I didn’t get as much out of it as I [...]

How Many Times Would You Like To See Type Of Action For Bad Drivers In PEI?

I’ve written about the bad drivers in PEI before, and honestly it just keeps getting worse and worse I find here on the Island which is a shame. However, I’m pretty sure there would be a hell of a lot less illegal parking downtown if they did something like this once or twice.. HA!

I really don’t know what kind of old school alert system that they have in London for cases like this, and I don’t know how long buddy [...]

New Car Review – 2009 Pontiac Vibe – a few months in..

So now that I’ve had my new car a few months, I figure it would be a good time to let you know if I like it or not.

Bottom line, I love it.. even though I’m not driving it at the moment (you’re welcome Liz) due to the fact that we’re looking for a new car for Liz.. I have taken it on all the things that I’ve intended me having it for, including to and from hockey rinks with [...]

Saved a bundle changing my own brakes.. sort of.. (Thanks Dad!)

So I spent the better half of yesterday afternoon putting on new routers and brake pads on the front of the beater car I’ve driven over the past few winters.. started to wonder if I saved any money doing it.

Obviously I would have saved the labour costs which a garage would have charged me, but all in all.. it still cost me about $140 to put new routers and brake pads on the front two wheels. I guess that’s not [...]
