Saturn – Rethink Rethinking

addone — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:40:45 +0000

Today after my tutorial, we went to Motor City Saturn in Whitby to get another test-drive of the Aura, as well as try finding a dealer which may switch the Hankook tires to Goodyear’s as a perk. Now, as I’ve stated in my previous Saturn/American car post, one of the biggest small concerns with American [...]

Saturn – Rethink Rethinking

Saturn – Rethink

addone — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:15:21 +0000

Rethink. That is Saturn’s slogan, which suggests that we should all rethink the cars from the beloved planet, and from what I’ve read from TTAC and Autoblog about how Saturn is losing its brand visibility, we definitely need to do a lot of rethinking. Or at least the North American automakers have to. Today I [...]

Saturn – Rethink

Spoiled

addone — Tue, 06 May 2008 15:43:47 +0000

Whenever I read articles about the UAW/CAW union strikes (or impending strikes) from auto-blogs such as (the wonderful) TTAC, or hear on the news about it, I really just want to ask them WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT they are complaining about. You spoilt brats, shut the hell up about your lack of benefits, wages, hours and [...]

An Adventure In An Accord: Prologue

addone — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:44:24 +0000

Perhaps its a good time to start a new post-series, which would document my new adventures in our family Accord. I should be able to get my G2 license in early May, so I’d be sharing the car a bit more starting then. Let’s get started! According to this site (InternetAutoGuide), our 6th generation 02 [...]

Be Wary of Used Cars

addone — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:25:25 +0000

I am quite frugal, which essentially means I try to save every dime and penny I can (ironically). So when the topic of me getting around town, there are really a few options. I could walk…but walking to Oshawa or any place further than 5-20 minutes away is actually not something I would like to [...]

Random Car Info

addone — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:07:52 +0000

My dad is looking into the 08/09 Camry or 08 CR-V, and asked me to give him some dirty information. So without diving into car pornography or anything, I dived into what was probably the most important/relevant info for a frugal person like myself: fuel economy/efficiency (FE) and the base price for the lowest, shi-luggiest [...]

Ever So Nice!

addone — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:41:12 +0000

We all like divergent posts, since they take our attention away from whatever the main point is. Now that I think about it, this can’t possibly be a divergent post, because my blog is geared towards my random ramblings, which is quite random (can you picture me squinting my eyes saying random now?) Now, I [...]

A Revelation

This morning as i was eating breakfast, I was also reading our Honda magazine (which is free for all Honda owners), and caught eye of the Civic Si Sedan. You’d think I made a typo by saying “sedan”, but no! the Civic Si is now available as a 4-door sedan! For those that don’t know, [...]

Do You Feel My Vibe?

addone — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:54:11 +0000

When the Pontiac Vibe came out in 2000 or so, it had a pretty cool advertisement campaign. What would happen is a person sits or does their own thing and the Vibe drives up, with some bass pumping, and the person starts to jive to the beat. The Vibe drives away and the person looks [...]

As a follow-up to my fueleconomy.gov post, I’ve found several diesel potentials (with the age being somewhat specified to what would be accepted at home, with 98 being the oldest possible). So searching takes a while, but I’ve managed to come up with (surprise!) VW’s! http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=19520 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=19680 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=19690 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=19906 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=20443 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1tablef.jsp?id=21893 However, maintenance is a [...]
