Favourite line:

The most important part to remember is – don’t do the math on the weight being towed, instead it’s the GVWR – gross vehicle weight rating.

Made a video to go along with this week’s column. 

Thanks to my driving buddy that day, Jeremy Sinek, for helping me film! We also won the fuel economy challenge, helped by that I didn’t drive.

Here we are with a Tyranasaurs Rex.

The Los Angeles Auto Show 2011

I had a great time at the LA Auto Show last November! Ford brought me along with them, was a gracious host and I had an amazing time, thanks again guys!

Ford.ca

A 6.7L engine woah, that pickup dream of mine is old, it’s too bad tinting that dark is illegal, those Mitsubishi concept cars are cute, I stand by my cycling team comment :|, and cool about the Mustang Pantone yellow like a school bus, eh.

Click here for a full list of debuts at the show. Also, the show does something nice each Thursday night before it opens, they throw a charity event benefitting a program to give healthcare to the homeless in LA.

But wait, November was so long ago, why is this video posted now? I’d moved the week before, moved to a new laptop, switched to the new Final Cut X, then left the country for 4 months weeks after getting home. Still good footage, still sorry about the delay Ford :)
