Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Around the Track with Alex Tagliani

It’s a 2013 Honda Civic HFP.

Non-car nerds: Alex Tagliani is one of Canada’s most beloved racers.

He blew up in 90s, and has been killing it since. He races for Honda in the IndyCar series.

He wouldn’t remember, but we met last year. I arrived at Honda HQ to pick up a Fit, and accidentally walked into a meet & greet.

Also from that day.

Nice.  (so nice, might give this photo its own post).

Filmed two days before the Indy, at the second annual ‘Honda Manual School’.  Here’s a couple more videos from that day.

 

 

I'm Driving a Honda Fit This Week

Picked it up yesterday.  I was expecting it to be the smallest car I’ve ever driven. Except it’s not small at all, it deceived me. I’ll show you better later, when I have more time.

It’s my favourite security guard, Joe! Welcome back to my blog.

When I walked into his office, he said he had something for me. Then pulled this out of his desk drawer.

That’s Honda’s star Indy racer Alex Tagliani.

Back in July I arrived to pick up a car, and walked into a celebration of Indy, how’s that for accidental great timing. Even better, I’d never seen this photo.

Joe said he came here looking for my email, to let me know he’d picked this up, but couldn’t find it OMG that’s bad blogging.  Look top right in my sidebar now Joe, that’s you.

Clean ergonomics, and excellent hazard button placement.

I judge all cars by their hazard buttons, which I use a lot when driving to control the space around me.

Look at the difference in your view by putting down the rear headrest.

If you see a red blur around town this week wave hi, because The. Fit. Is. Go!
