Car Seat Clinic
All parents looks at their children and instantly feel a need to protect them in any way they can. Proper child car seat installation is one of the areas where I have focused a certain amount of energy/time to ensure that our clients children are safe.

Auto Cross Season
Tomorrow, I get to end all my winter driving frustrations and let my silly, pathetic male testosterone filled driving style flow freely. That’s right.. Auto Cross season starts tomorrow. My Super 7 is not road worthy yet, however I can feel that my trusty Audi S4 is somehow trying to communicate with me chanting “put… Read more »

Almost daily, I get asked the question “what do you drive”? 15 years ago the answer was a Honda. I have lost count of how many Honda’s I have had. (somewhere in the mid teens) I was trained by Honda, lived and breathed Honda. My time at the Acura dealer in the mid ‘90‘s helped… Read more »
Are contemporary vehicles superior?
Let’s say you could go back in time, about 20 years and somehow teleport a brand new 1992 Honda Accord into 2012. (I know the first thing you are going to say is that if you could time travel you wouldn’t be wasting your time on a 1992 Accord.) Just humour me for a moment,… Read more »
Winter Tire Debate
There are two things I really get bent out of shape about, improperly installed car seats and people who refuse to even consider winter tires. Since winter is just around the corner, let’s focus on the latter. Every year during this time, I have countless conversations with customers over the importance of winter tires. While… Read more »
