Driving Elation

Nov 11 2013

Filmed in Napa CA, while testing the new VW 1.8L Turbo.

Ridiculous changes in elevation, not one straight line,
through beautiful terrain, on a clear blue sky day…
alone on total video game roads.

Manual all day long, too.

One of my best driving experiences to date.

Here’s the post about that trip. And another video, and about the car.

Land Rover LR2 VS Range Rover Evoque

Nov 11 2013

I had both of these, during the same week, in the summer.

This is the LR2 – the entry level Land Rover.

Land Rover LR2
Starting at $39,990

Within the Land Rover family however, there’s the Range Rover segment.

Save up another $7,000 (17% of total) and
move up to the next model, the Range Rover Evoque.

Range Rover Evoque
Starting at $46,995

Powerful engine, sporty handling, beautiful exterior styling, the coupe doors are still functional, and the interior is functionally-classy.

And driving it well, the Evoque makes an impression.

The Nissan Pathfinder Swelled UP

Nov 9 2013

15 Years of weight gain.

Bet if it returned to a modern version of its roots, it’d sell well.

Donating Your Organs

Nov 6 2013

Register at the MTO, either in person or online. You must be at least 16 years old.

There are 8 donation possibilities: kidneys, heart, eyes, bone, liver, lungs, skin and pancreas.

1 donor can save up to 8 lives, and affect 75 others.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Kidneys top the list of most-wanted, and the most common opt-outs are eyes and skin.

What’s a VIN Number

Oct 30 2013

VIN Number  – a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number, unique to the vehicle its attached to. Above is my ’99 Jetta.

It’s a bit like reading a cipher – see 3rd paragraph for a breakdown.

Find VINs on the engine, seats, door jams, and mounted on the driver’s side of the dash.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Always run your own VIN check before buying; a $50 purchase to verify one worth thousands is a good investment. 

Check one here – CarProof.com
