Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Wasn’t me.
Spotted in Newfoundland.
He makes car videos too!
Way more detailed than mine, like, you actually learn stuff from his. Check out his YouTube channel: The Road Trip, and tune into his like-named radio show on 680 CJOB, every Saturday from 6 PM to 8 PM Central.
I made a new header.
That’s a massive change.
The two plants in my apartment are fake. Closet thing I ever had to a pet, was this bug.
This home ownership thing is going to be a steep learning curve. Right now I’m really into insulation, let’s talk about R value. And woah, there’s so many more bills eh.
But, I figure billions of people are right now handling it just fine, so how hard can it be…
By pruned I mean broke off branches and turned them into spears.
Who knew gardening was so destructive.
New blog tag = house
A preparation list for a one-night car camping awesome experience.
Food, shelter and entertainment are covered, then add a little “just wing it,” because when was the last time you did?
Read it online at Autonet.
Bring a tarp to wrap around the open rear hatch of a crossover, now you have a veranda. When you grow tired of the view, change it by turning the key.

First ever!
I’ve driven a gokart on a car track, a car on a gokart track, and plenty of autocross courses in parking lots. But this was my first proper time, in a car around a car track.
It was done in a 2014 Honda Civic Si at Mosport.
It’s a 2.4L outputting 205 hp and 174 ft-lbs.
Starting at $26,710
Manual, obviously. It’s a good, short throw.
I documented the occasion.
My two biggest mistakes are: I brake way too late, and into the corners I’m, wait for it, too aggressive.
Who you hear coaching me is this guy, Honda IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe.
Liked your coaching style, thanks James! Best of luck this season.
I interviewed him for a ‘Keri on Driving‘ column about concentration, here. Because really, without concentration, everything else, all the tech, tires and money, are for not.
And it’s rather appropriate, because Honda was one of the first manufacturers to bet on my blog. Here’s our history.
Can’t concentrate? Can’t race.
Because really, all the tech, tires and money are for not if the driver drops their focus for one fast moment. Because that moment turns into seconds lost.
I’m speaking with Honda IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe. He’d just coached me around the DDT at Mosport (watch here)
We talk about his mind while racing, how he stays hyper-focused for 2 straight hours. It’s an almost-meditative state, he says.
Read it online at Autonet.
If winning comes down to a driver’s level of concentration, how about putting a monk behind the wheel? Trophies ahoy!
Thanks for taking the time James! Best of luck this season.
Watch James coach me around my first track time here.
How he fared in this years Toronto Indy here.
