Cars In Review: 2024 Honda Civic
Before I get into this week’s blog post I think it’s important to address a new trend that I have been noticing lately in the automotive world. I’m sure you know what I’m referring to before even reading about it, but in any case, I’m talking about car companies choosing to “redesign” their models for the new year, well specifically 2024. That’s right, we’ve all noticed it at some point, especially with logo’s, so what’s up with that? Well, it’s no surprise the automotive world has been hit pretty hard recently, seen more evidently with the chip shortages, but it’s gotten worse. Car companies have now moved to adding individual…

How to get your Car Ready for Fall
Take in the last warm nights and hot days because Summer is almost over. And yes, I know with the recent 30 C temperatures some parts of Canada were spoiled with last week, it makes it hard to believe, but it is true. With the arrival of Fall, it would be smart to get your vehicle prepared. It won’t be long before you have those freezing cold mornings and by the afternoon all the layers you dressed with are a distant memory. But nonetheless, preparing your vehicle is important. Unlike with the Winter and Summer seasons, that seem to wreak the most havoc on your vehicle, Fall is a little…

It’s that time again! That’s right, back by popular demand, its the Car’s in Review post.

Drive Festival 2023
Last weekend (Sept 8-10) Drive Festival was held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, and although it was quite popular I still feel like a feature post would boost next years’ attendance. 2023 marked 3 years for this event, so still quite new out there, but that didn’t stop motorheads alike from attending. Drive Festival is the ultimate car show for gearheads in Canada, so it’s no surprise that new car technology and test drive opportunities are featured on the three test tracks at this event. In 2021, when the event was held from Sept 10-12, Drive Festival made history. 17,000 people attended and this helped to make Drive Festival…

Movie Review: Gran Turismo
In this week’s blog post, I decided to change things up a little, and do a movie review. I will be reviewing the movie ‘Gran Turismo’ which believe it or not, is based on a true story. This movie is a prime example of a young kid with a burning desire to follow his dreams, and he shows that dreams really can come true, if you work hard enough to achieve them. Movie Summary This true story follows a team made from some unlikely people – a working-class gamer, a former race-car driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive – who come together and risk it all to take part in…
