Proper Press Car Keys

Seems straight-forward, but it’s not.

All automakers handle it differently, I like this setup best.

Why?

1 – a protected tag with pertinent information front and back (the grey box is the VIN #)

2 – reverse side lists a phone number to call if I need something

3 – key is easily detached for when photographing the interior

4 – a USB key containing the spec sheet plus PDFs. That’s key, because whenever you need an answer it’s 10pm and no one is going to email you back then.

Specifically, these belong to the 2015 VW Golf I have this week.

 

 

Fake Engine Sounds, it’s Happening

It’s a dichotomy – a quieter engine is a more technologically
advanced and efficient one

But the problem is we consumers still associate noise with power, so automakers are faking it.

Who’s doing it? The list includes BMW, Ford, Lexus, Porsche, Toyota, VW and more.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

My proposed compromise:

So to the automakers – not sure this is your best idea, guys. Buyers aren’t happy, and the lack of information on your sites makes you seem shady.

I propose a compromise: keep adding the fake engine sounds, but also tell the buyer that you did. Then add an FAQ to your website on how to disable it, or better yet, add in an “off” switch.

Left to right = least to most expensive

Anything with AMG = their performance line – as in – good as it gets

All 37 vehicles are now available with optional 4MATIC – All-wheel drive – get it.

 

 

Deadlines Done, now Let’s Day Drink

No dramatics, soon as I hit publish I’m disconnecting from the intenert and cracking a Coors Light.

I already picked up Casie from the train station, she’s downstairs blogging right now, my house is filled with typing sounds.

Here, I’ll show you…

We’re like, the last 2 bloggers standing…  first in, then was the era where everyone and their dog had a blog, then we outworked and outlasted them all and are probably two of the most successful bloggers in the country.

kk enough, time for ridiculous jokes I can’t begin to explain, and can’t wait because the last time I partied while the sun was up was…. a year? At least.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you! XO

TTY Monday, have a great weekend and I’ll cheers you in 3, 2, 1…
