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.

Cagalli Yula, Line-X of Cumberland County, Krown Rust Proofing

Krown provides a rust proofing treatment that is applied annually. The reviews on it are very good, they have been in a business for a long time, if it is something you are interested in it is worth looking up. I use it on my daily driven Subaru BRZ because I would like the chassis and body to last a good long time rust free.

If you get the car treated early enough, i.e. within 6 months of purchase, Krown will guarantee the car to be rust free for life.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), ProClip Angled Mount & Adjustable Holder Install and Review

Waze is a wonderful application for navigation, knowing where traffic, accidents, and knowing where cops are. My wife and I use it a lot on road trips. But, being cell phone based it is negligent to use when it is not mounted somewhere that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. To this end I installed a cell phone holder.

In terms of places to put a phone the (more or less) stock interior of a BRZ does not have a lot of good places to put a phone and see the screen while looking out the windshield.

2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i

My BRZ was in the dealer for some warranty service regarding the door seal so I got a rental from the dealership, a 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i.

The car is styled in an any car style. As opposed to the older Subaru's which were more distinguished if also more polarizing. Gone is the aviator style grill.

Test Drive, 2013+ Ford Transit 250

Sometimes owning small cars you need to rent larger cars. This is especially true when you are moving a significant amount of your possessions into storage.

And the van holds a lot of stuff quite well.

Test Drive, 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i

Got a 2016 Subaru Forester as a dealership loaner as my 2014 BRZ is having some driver side wind noise issues following that crash and repair so many months ago.

So I got to drive a 2016 Forester for around 45-50 miles.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), On-Site Detail, Ultimate Detail

I had the car detailed by On-Site Detailing.
James Church took care of the detailing for me and was both very quick and extremely thorough and did a great job. I would use them again.

My wife took the car on a trip and parked it in a rather wet and muddy place.

From a British perspective...

I love driving; ever since I passed my test I've enjoyed the freedom it brings, the feeling of being in control of such an amazing piece of engineering. My first car was a very well-worn Vauxhall Corsa, previously driven by my mum and my older brother and now in my younger sister's possession. However, I was always on the lookout for something more. My dream car was an Audi TT, but I presumed with my budget it would be far too costly both to buy and to insure.

With the gorgeous Betty on the day I bought her...

2016 24 Hours of Le Mans

I follow some auto racing at a tertiary level. I do not watch every race. I vaguely follow reporting on F1 and some of the various GT classifications. The big race I try to watch every year though is what I think of as the second toughest (maybe third toughest) auto race all year. The 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The LMP1 prototypes are these fantastic vehicles with all sorts of interesting regulations put upon them which require amazing innovations. Essentially in the most recent races the cars have this category have been limited by total amount of energy they are allowed to use to complete each lap which is regulated by how much fuel they can have on board and how much energy they are allowed to recapture into hybrid systems and use throughout a lap.

Extended Test Drive, 2016 Ford Fusion (Memorial Day Camping)

Another one for the A to B but not driver cars.
My wife and I were going camping with members of our running group for Memorial Day again. As opposed to last time where we used my Subaru BRZ which was a tight fit we decided to rent something bigger that we could fit our stuff in more easily and that I wound not feel like I was risking the paint on by mounting the bike carrier.
So we rented a Ford Fusion from Budget and actually got the car / size of car we prepaid for this time! (Much rejoicing!)
