I Hated Driving the 2015 BMW M3…Here’s Why!
It’s not often that I really hate driving a car. But I just had to say it this time. I got to drive the 2015 BMW M3 for about ten days and I hated it. Honestly though, it really had nothing to do about the vehicle itself. I actually really loved the M3. It was the fact […]
Taking the Family High Road in the 2014 Toyota Highlander

Comfortable, No-Frills, Good Performing, Family SUV – 2013 GMC Acadia Review
The 2013 GMC Acadia is an SUV turned crossover (I still think of it as an SUV) which I believe is a bit of a sleeper. Probably the most aggressive features of it is the bold front grill with the GMC logo on it. It’s strong, as if to say, get out of my way, […]
