Nissan’s latest driving aid, ‘Active Trace Control’.
Usually I don’t like these new “aids”, but this one was alright.
Filmed in the all-new 2014 Rogue, down in Nashville, TN.
Here’s my review (called it a segment leader), and here’s the post about that trip. And good video-bombing, Mark Richardson.
Narrowing their focus on the automotive industry, Google conducted a survey about how we shop for cars online. They then invited me to the Google office to share the findings.
Google noted that only 1/3 shoppers will buy a badge not on their initial list. And the average amount of time spent shopping is 28 days.

Only 43% of shoppers take a test drive? Way too low guys, get out there! What looks appealing online may fit your poorly. A feature you glossed over online, meanwhile, may become important in real life.
Remember – car shopping is supposed to be enjoyable! Plus, writing a cheque that large gives you a lot of power, so have fun with that.

All blacked out, nice rims, I prefer the 2-door model, but still, one of my favourite vehicles, this.
Non-car nerds: it’s not a pickup truck, it’s a Ford Raptor.Despite it’s size, it is nimble and can do all the stuff a pickup in your imagination can do. You’re looking at about $65,000, easy.
I travelled with Ford to Alberta this summer, to test their 2013 pickup truck line.
Click here for a couple videos of me off-roading in a Raptor, both as a driver and passenger (I lose control of my neck).
Read the other one, from the police perspective, here.
We speak with Jason Baxter at X-Copper Legal Services on why he feels it best to fight every ticket.
Read it online at Autonet.ca.
Always fight a speeding ticket, because the insurance company can use that one ticket to raise your rates for three years.
You do this for the insurance game – not to save on the ticket itself, but in an art-of-the-long-view thing.
Okay woah, this one really set people off over at Autonet… 118 comments what?! Might be a site record.

I’m being chauffeured around while I blog via my iPhone… type type, coffee sip sip, give directions, type type.
None of this “I could get used to this” stuff, instantly was.
