Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Luxury Vehicle Ownership comes with Decorum

Broke in a brand new Acura ILX. 

No dramatics; I turned it over to a 4-digit odometer YA buddy.

The Acura ILX is their brand-new model that’s entry-level luxury.

To celebrate the launch is the Acura Finishing School:
an evening of styling, and etiquette training.

You’re graduating into luxury automobile ownership, conducting yourself with more decorum comes along with that. 

Welcome to my blog, guys!  

The evening was geared towards men, (no more jeans and sneakers fellas, get used to blazers and suit jackets).  How I was also invited was because I don’t know, I was just glad.

A 4 course meal, while etiquette coach Linda Allan reminded us of proper dining etiquette; she was, and it was, awesome.

At the evening’s conclusion, we were handed keys to a brand new ILX.

There are 6 different versions of the car, including their first-ever Hybrid, congratulations Acura!

Bolstered and stitched seats, crisp and ergonomic trimming, a quick and reliable engine, a 15GB hard drive for music, all features here: Acura ILX

Starting at $27,790.

Subtle classiness.

I wrote about the experience in this week’s, ‘Keri on Driving’ column.  Please read for tips I learned from Linda, they’re good reminders.

“… the best part of the evening was the sentiment: A little more decorum all around is never a bad thing.”

How do you compete with stuffed animals going to school?

Can’t.

It’s a brand new vehicle, so that means brand-new Google everything.

I tagged the crap out of this post.

The Infiniti G37 Has a Great Growl

Infiniti G37 XS

It’s a real sports car – it’s a rough ride, the steering is tight and requires energy and attention, all is as it should be.

My favourite part is the engine sound.

Infiniti has mastered that quintessential car growl sound.  It sounds in real life, like it does in your head. I talk about the growl in my intro article for the paper, that’s how much I love it.

Pink astrick – note the seatbelt holder.

Coupe’s have longer doors, so to grab the seat belt, it’s a long reach back with a twist, especially if you’re little like me.

This stops that, I love this.  

It seems like a little thing, but it’s every time you climb into the car, that’s a big thing.

Maybe the funniest finding was that over half the couples said the best driving conversations focus on their surroundings and other drivers – bonding over judging others.

This is not unusual for the brand, which is long known for taking a subtle approach to marketing. Yoshizu says it’s that subtleness that creates strong brand loyalty.
