The Outer Banks (OBX) is one of our favorite places to vacation. We like to visit during the off season because it feels like the entire island is pretty much all ours. Beaches are empty with the exception of, maybe, a handful of other people. The downside is that not everything is open, but that’s ok. We always rent a…
I’m not sure exactly when my love of cars happened. I’m thinking it was pretty early in life. Dad worked as a mechanic on a GM assembly line his entire career and always enjoyed cars. Having three girls didn’t deter him from teaching us all about them. When we bought our first cars we had to prove that we could…
Arriving in Baltimore I picked up the Hyundai Elantra to make my drive to the gorgeous bayside town of Easton, Maryland to the Tidewater Inn, my base for my time in the area. The drive was easy and made quite enjoyable by the Hyundai. I even made it over a massive bridge that caused me to have a slight panic…
Local or long-distance there’s something alluring about being able to grab enough essentials for the trip and hop into the car with a destination in mind. Of course, it works just as well if you don’t have a destination as well and can be just as rewarding if not more so. My current vehicle has taken many a trip in…
Despite my love for our current car, there is nothing more alluring than the fresh scent of new leather in a new vehicle that is fresh off of the lot. That new car smell is a favorite of mine but combined with the array of new gadgets to play with on the Hyundai Veloster and the opportunity to test drive it. I…
I was excited to be back in the San Jacinto Valley. It’s one of the best hidden secrets of Southern California and is often overlooked. For outdoor lovers this is the place to go. There are so many places to explore, but you’ll need a car to make it happen. I was fortunate enough to drive a Kia Optima around…
Now that summer break is in session for the kids, finding something for you and your family to do is important. Aside from having fun day trips to the amusement parks, museums, and other cool things in the area, you likely plan at least one family vacation to either start or finish off the summer. If you’re looking for cool…
I had the opportunity to take the KIA Forte for a test drive for a couple days while I was in California recently. I was traveling solo which was perfect for the Forte. It’s a 4-door, 4-passenger car, but I would recommend it for one or two leaving the backseat open for tote bags, camera bags and the like. The Kia…
“Get your motor running Head out on the highway Looking for adventure And whatever comes our way” ~Steppenwolf Slipping into the seat of the Mazda CX5, I buckle up and start the engine. It purrs beautifully as I accelerate out into traffic. The real test comes when I turn onto the highway on ramp and the Mazda picks up speed…
Helllooooooo red Mazda3! I may have been a little giddy when this car arrived and couldn’t get in it fast enough to take it for a spin around the block. Oh, how I can’t wait to own a fun little car, but until then I will enjoy the occasional week long media drives. Definitely one of my favorite perks of…
