Driving is Motoring TV‘s Russ Bond, I’ve introduced you before.
We were at a Young Driver’s event on Sunday.
Paul Reid was there too, capturing better quality footage for Motoring, while I captured a nice photo of Paul.
Which I’m good at; ha Paul, that photo is still funny.
“Driving is a Lifestyle”
Claiming ownership of this expression, it now belongs to me, forever, throughout the universe, into perpetuity.

Motoring TV on TSN is Canada’s, and one of the world’s, longest-running TV shows – 27 seasons!
Watch the video on MotoringTV.com
Being edited on a big-boy system.
It’s just web though, to be clear, not TV.
Technically, it’s my 3rd video for them, I just never said anything.
There’s 2 more on the site: 1 about a Caravan charity project, and 1 when Kia sponsored a RIDE program awareness event back in the summer. I’m especially awkward in that one.
And that’s enough for today. Still shy.
When testing a new model, manufacturers disguise the cars from curious, long camera lenses… a leaked shot of an upcoming debut really sucks the drama away.
So many automakers keep a Camo Expert on staff.
The goal is to trick the eye into seeing something that’s not there.
How? The camo makes it difficult for a camera lens to focus, or sometimes an infrared-absorbing paint is used, B&W swirly paint can make convex appear concave, or the shape of the car is altered using styrofoam and fake body parts.
Read it online at Autonet.
There are different types of camo, but both always mask the two most important design features – the grille and tail lights.

The 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 & the GMC Sierra Denali 3500
Read in on Autonet.ca
Both badges are powered by a Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo diesel, outputting 397-horsepower and wait of it… 765 lb-ft of torque COME on.
Assume the position: trucker stance.
The hood and I are the same height.
So arty.
Dichotomy.
