BMW Performance Driving Center
The one where I get to pretend to be a race car driver for the day at BMW’s Performance Driving Center just outside Palm Springs. One of the most fun and exhilarating things I’ve ever done.

Hot Laps with Honda Canada
Last Friday I got invited by Honda Canada to a parking lot behind the Pacific Coliseum to get some driving tips for driving a manual transmission. I wasn’t entirely sure what was going to happen but it sounded interesting and I haven’t driven a standard transmission in probably 20 years. I was helping a friend…
Driving to WSSF 2011
This past weekend, my friends at GM Canada loaned me a red 2011 Camero convertible to drive up to Whistler to attend the Whistler Ski & Snowboard Festival, aka WSSF. Since the weather was perfect, it seemed fitting to strap the GoPro to the trunk and make a time-lapse of the trip up: The video…
SXSW 2011 and the epic roadtrip is a wrap!
And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon.

The reason for the story was the new law which goes into effect in British Columbia as of January 1st, 2010 where…
One reason Kia is a fun car company
I’ve had my Kia Soul for just over a month now and it’s still a fantastic car that I really enjoy driving. Kia’s done a great job at promoting this car, including this very creative video shot on the docks where my actual car would have sat before heading to Canada: and I just stumbled…
