Safety Tips For Preventing Vehicle Theft

by Tazim Damji

safety tips for preventing vehicle theft

This post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine. It hasn't happened in years, but someone close to me has had their car stolen in the past. It was pretty scary, and it took a long time for her to feel comfortable driving somewhere and parking her car. She was definitely much more careful about leaving things in her car after that, as her camera was one of the things she'd left in the glove box. Regardless of where you live in the country, there are certain ...

Toyota Prius Event & Rally Next is Now #toyotalove

by Tazim Damji

toyota prius

I was already a fan before, but a day spent learning more about Toyota's family of hybrid Prius cars and I feel like I'm cheating on my own car. I was treated to breakfast and an interesting talk about how hybrids work, the range of cars, and the future of Toyota hybrids before the real fun began.  ...

Autoglym Canadian Tire Exclusive Car Cleaning Products

by Tazim Damji

road trip essentials

World-class cleaning/world-class shine Sometimes it's about quality and quantity—like when you come across an amazing brand of products that work well, and you just can't stop adding more from the product line to your collection. That is exactly what happened when we tried out just 2 products from Autoglym, which I purchased at Canadian Tire. As I said to a friend of mine—yes, I'm a snob about even that! But, really—it's not snooty to only want to use the best cleaning products on something ...

Langley Cruise-In Car Show Langley, B.C.

by Tazim Damji

Langley cruise in

Did I say that it felt like fall already? Well, it was certainly hot and sunny this weekend! Yesterday, we drove down to Langley to check out the Cruise-In car show. It felt like it was at least 30 degrees outside with all the sparkly vintage cars parked on several blocks in Langley city and in the parking lot of the Cascades Casino.  ...

Car Stereo Review—Kenwood DDX319

by Greg

Backside of Kenwood DDX 319

Tazim and I never consider ourselves road-trip-ready without a playlist—but when we bought our new-to-us ride, the stereo was a sore point. Whoever had bought the car originally had sprung for the limited package—we could see the upgraded speakers all around us, and knew they were fine—but the head unit was low-spec. Having an in-dash 6 CD player seemed kind of cool—until we found out that it wouldn't play anything burnt at home, or CDs that were the least bit blemished. Worse, it put out a ...

Mitsubishi I-MiEV: Greenest Car of the Year

by Greg

imiev car

Congratulations Mitsubishi I-MiEV: Greenest Car of the Year I was fortunate enough to have a chance to check out the Mitsubishi I-MiEV early in it's release cycle. Hopping into the driver's seat, it didn't feel all that different from a regular vehicle—until I pressed the start button and put my foot down. The car has instant torque, and instead of engine noise, whispers a faint hum. I was instantaneously whirring down the road, feeling like I was riding something out of the ...

An Environmentalist in a Reasonably Priced Car—Fiat 500

by Greg

As the sky begins to darken, there is light rain and fog. It's just after 9:00pm, and we're cruising up the Highway 5 towards the top of the Coquihalla Pass. Lanes and lanes of roadway climbing up a mountain toward the sky. All of the sudden a two-trailer semi barrels through the brake check station beside us. We're going just over a hundred and ten, and even if the road was dry, we doubt that we can decelerate or brake to avoid the charging behemoth. We've got no choice but to change lanes and ...
