You’re paying way too much to fix your car

April 19, 2010   1 Comment  

AutoMD.com estimates that American consumers are overpaying by more than $20 Billion on auto repairs. The investigation not only revealed repair shops giving overblown estimates, but also multiple instances of shops recommending unnecessary work. Nothing chaps my ass more then being ripped off. Ripping my sister off who fits the typical female stereotype who doesn’t [...]

A true lover’s paradise, [...]

Goodbye Saab?

In defense of Ford

You know what they say about opinions, and we all know that we are entitled to them. The media gets a bad rap for publishing incriminating information on certain celebrities, politicians and manufacturers when unexpected events come about. We speak highly of underdogs and stories of struggle that rise above circumstances to make a glorious [...]

My somewhat automotive-related Christmas list

Dear Santa, I know my behavior this year has not always been desirable but I really am trying hard to be a very good girl! As you know, I haven’t had the best relationship with my car since we came into each other’s lives over the summer. Tomorrow, she is currently going in for service [...]

It’s putting the key in the ignition after the day hasn’t gone as planned. It’s the urge that overcomes you to go somewhere other than where you are. It’s those cool Sunday afternoons that beg you to open the windows so your hair can blow in the wind. It’s the longest way down winding roads [...]

How do we get there?

Nov. 3, 2009   Leave a Comment  

How do a majority of us end up with the vehicles we drive every day? We look at practicality, affordability and then the logical need to have some form of transportation. All of which translate into mundane reasons. Then there is status, trend and a reflection of who we are. I somehow missed out on [...]

Four-way stop

Oct. 31, 2009   Leave a Comment  

My aggravation with the way other people drive started in high school when the main road to campus consisted of three 4 way stops within a mile. We all read the DMV handbook in order to pass our driving tests and we’ve all been at a four way stop at least a couple times in [...]

Who is the Diva of Driving?

Oct. 23, 2009   Leave a Comment  

From an early age, the love for all things powered by horsepower pumped through my veins. I was the baby in stroller at the drags, the toddler at the car shows and the young girl with pigtails on a Saturday night surrounded by muscle cars at a local hang out. I could point out each [...]
