Luxurious at Work, yet Comfortable at Home
In today’s world appearance is everything. It is not about what car will get you to work, but what car will help you get there; it’s not about what headphones will help you hear the best, but what headphones look cool; heck, it has even come to it not being about how the food taste, but more what food will look good on an Instagram post. This appearance may look great but it is not always comfortable. So what are adults to do? Do you settle for comfort or luxury? Well, lucky for adults when it comes to cars, settling is not necessary. A sedan is the perfect mix of good appearance while being comfortable.

My Biased Review of the 2016 Ford Focus SE
I needed to get a car a few months ago, and I have to admit I'm a lousy car shopper. I rarely shop around, and I barely bargain with the dealer when I get there. When car dealers see me come in they probably think to themselves, "whoa here's a whale ready to be harpooned." When I bought the Ford Focus from the dealer it wasn't any different.

Talking You Through the Different Types of Turbochargers!
First and foremost, do you know what a turbocharger is? Have you ever noticed cars zoom past you with fumes coming out of their tailpipes? Yes, the first reaction will obviously be shaking your head at the air pollution and waste of energy being caused. This exhaust is a mixture of hot gases and energy that’s uselessly getting discharged into the atmosphere. Wouldn’t it be much better if the engine of the vehicle had the power to harness this energy and utilise it to make the car go faster! Well, there’s good news for you, as a turbocharger does just that.

My Jeep and Me Forever!
I know that there is an old expression that says that we are to love people, and like objects. I understand. I do love people, but there are four inanimate objects that I like. They are my trumpet, my portable hard drives, my first racing bike, and my Jeep. Yes, I can't do without these objects because they are a part of me. I can't imagine living life without them.

My Thoughts on the Hyundai Sonata 2005-2010 NF Generation
This may look like your ordinary car that you've seen driving around a suburban area by either someone who doesn't really care about cars or by an old man. But it's a lot more, this car is actually a landmark in Hyundai's history and a staple of the company's reputation.

My Review of the TD MyAdvantage App
I’ve been using the TD MyAdvantage app for the past week and I learned a lot about my driving habits and general driving habits in my neighborhood. This app has opened my eyes to a lot of different aspects of driving that I never really contemplated. Ultimately my goal is to have the app help me save money on car insurance but time will tell how much of a benefit it really it is.

Brand Dilution
I had the pleasurable experience of a fortnight's holiday in Lanzarote, the most eastern of the main islands that make up the Canaries, situated just off the coast of Morocco. During my stay, the weather turned from a pleasurable 25ºC down to middling and late teens combined with a lot of rain; Great! Sun beds away, tan lotion back in the bag and hideout in the resort until it all blows over. I cannot stand English resorts so we therefore came to the conclusion that we had only two choices, fly home early or get a hire car of some description so that we can at least take shelter if caught out or to try to chase the sun around the island like a stupid dog and its tail.

996 Turbo or E92 M3
With a budget of about forty thousand the options you have for a fun, comfortable and practical sports car are pretty good. Unless you’re looking for something more specific. Maybe you want to hear turbos spool every morning or you want an obnoxiously loud V8 with 400+ horsepower. Sure you can settle for an EcoBoost or an '01 Cobra and call it a day but you’re better than that.

JDM Gear for Guys
Very few cars have a community as tight-knit and competitive as true JDM machines. JDM, which stands for Japanese Domestic Market, is a specialized genre of cars that are really only supposed to be sold in Japan, but occasionally find themselves stateside as well.

I Got to Drive an Audi R8 Spyder!
How could this even happen? I for one didn't think it was possible! The first car I ever owned was a '99 Mazda protégé. It was fun and zippy and I think it just had over 100 hp. I now own a 2010 KIA Forte Koup. Although my relatively newer car is a little faster than my previous car, it only has about 150 hp. The 2018 Audi R8 Spyder has a whopping 600hp! I knew I was in for a hell of an experience!
