Test Drive 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster

For Thanksgiving we took a trip to Tucson, AZ. Holly's Uncle has a fun little car we took for a brief spin. It is a 1998 BMW Z3 Roadster.
This may be the first convertible I have reviewed? It being a convertible was perfect for driving around Tucson in early December.

Test Drive 2018 Toyota Yaris iA


Both of my siblings have bought the Scion iA and the Toyota Yaris iA (both the same car, when Toyota rolled Scion up it brought the iA in as the Yaris iA). I strongly recommended this car to both of them because it is a rebadged Mazda Mazda2, comes with a manual transmission (what my immediate family drives), and because one of the best cars in a price and size category above this is the Mazda Mazda3. So far both siblings are happy with the purchase.
I apologize for the photos on this, we were facing west down a street in the late afternoon.

2010 Mazda Mazda3

My wife and I took a trip up to the Boston area for her grandfather's birthday. We got to drive a 2010 Mazda Mazda3 with an automatic transmission. There was an awful lot of snow fall over the weekend, so much so that our flight home was cancelled and we had an extra day up north. So, lots of snow and ice driving in the Mazda3.

2003 Dodge RAM 1500 4x4 SLT

A first for me. This is certainly the first pickup truck I have reviewed and quite possibly the first that I have driven. If I recall correctly all that I have driven in the truck / van category is moving vans and moving trucks.

Short Test Drive, 1996 Honda Accord

I was in Florida over the weekend, was down for memorial service for my grandmother and spreading her and my grandfather's (previously deceased) ashes in the Everglades. My cousin was down from Maine and borrowed this car from my uncle (his dad). So, I figured I would take it for a drive and write out my thoughts.
This is a 1996 Honda Accord DX. It is the fifth generation of the Accord.
