Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

No DHL No F1

As a organizational nerd, this was interesting to me. Because the title of this post is true – without DHL, there is no race. For 25 years they’ve been the ones to ship the race to its 20 worldwide destinations.

This week for Autonet, I interviewed President of DHL Express (Canada), Greg Hewitt, and I learned that DHL is repsonsible for everything at the race, literally – the VIP suites, the cars, the merchandise, the celebratory champagne, everything you see at a race.

What got me most was the clearing customs aspect; hadn’t thought of that, makes total sense.

Delete your Phone from the Rental Car

Otherwise, the next renter sees something like above.

When you pair your phone to a car, your contacts are stored

Contacts plus I don’t know what else.  I tried to write a column about it during the winter, but couldn’t find barely any documentation about what information is saved… lots on how to connect a phone, almost none about what’s there, and how to clear it.

It was weird actually, like I’d found a hole in the internet.

Those are all my phone names, in order:

– BlackBerry
– iPhone (security through obscurity)
– Samsung Galaxy SIII

It’s a 2013 Dodge Dart, click here for my review.
