Hey folks! For my third instalment of Cars I want to Buy I'm featuring the super cool (no pun intended... well, ok, maybe a little) Chrysler 300 Glacier Edition. This may be one of the best limited edition cars that you can get. It's subtly different from every other 300 on the market but still absolutely unmistakable when you see it (as long as you know what you're looking at).

Awesome Ambition Episode 1 - Another Video Series!
Hi folks! Thanks for all the support on the last post. In tandem with the 'Cars I want to Buy' video series I'm also starting a series called 'Awesome Ambition'. The two series sort of occupy two sides of my car purchasing passion. On the one side there are the cars that I want that I would happily pay the asking price for (or at least close to it) and there are cars that I want but have an asking price so high, I can only assume the seller is under some sort of pharmaceutical influence. This series shines a spotlight on the latter.

Cars I want to buy video series - Ep. 1 - 1983 Dodge Mirada
Hey folks! Trying a new thing today where I actually post to my super dormant blog. Things are a little different though... I've started making videos! That's right. From now on, most of my blog post content is going to be video driven. There will still be text, but it will mostly be additional commentary to the content included in the video. Together it will be one big smash of a multimedia experience... or at least that's the idea anyway!

Small Block Chevy in a Ford
The
hot-rodding scene has traditionally been dominated by the small block Chevy
(SBC). Not to be relegated to duty only
among old GM models, it is also a popular engine swap in almost every pre-war
make. Some of this is due to the engines
ubiquitous nature – millions of these motors exist and due to the massive
aftermarket industry supporting them, they are relatively easy and inexpensive
to get big power out of. This is one of
the reasons why the Fords of the 1930s that forego their flatheads are almost
always seen wearing a Chevrolet bowtie under the bonnet.

Pay Cash and Save!
Canada’s
auto finance market is worth $120Billion annually. That means there are a lot of us that, for
one reason or another, cannot afford to pay cash for a car purchase. Cost of living being what it is, it can be
quite difficult to save up $30,000+ required to buy a new car outright. For a good late model used vehicle it can be
the same story, with a total cost in excess of $20,000. Not many of us have that kind of cake just
lying around and if we did, we probably would find better things to invest it
in other than a new car (or at least I hope we would).

Diesel engines, Tesla supercars and going the distance in today's link fest!
Hey, Folks!
Seems every time I
do a post, I apologize for not posting. Well, I'm sorry again. Life
can get pretty crazy sometimes and things like this can take a seat
on the back shelf. Well, I'm going to giver a go again. I'm working
on some new ideas, though, with a focus on creating some video
content. So this blog will essentially stick to format where I share
links that I think are pretty cool and hope others will like too. I
may insert some commentary here or there on occasion.
My videos, if all
goes according to plan, will consist of my opinions and views on the
car industry and general automotive related content (reviews, car
tours, top ten lists, etc.). Since videos will be more time
consuming, I'm aiming to eventually be doing one a week when I get on
my feet. For now though, I'm just going to try and do regular
updates here on the blog.
