It IS possible to get a good deal on a used car
I rarely write about preowned vehicles (aka used cars). In fact, a cursory review of previous posts and it doesn’t appear that I’ve written any at all. This doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in high-quality preowned vehicles. And it certainly doesn’t mean I only buy new vehicles. On the contrary, I’ve purchased more used vehicles over the years than new and with very … Read More
Prepare to fall in love with the all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia
The first time I ever heard of Alfa Romeo I was 17. Like everyone else that summer, I was drinking in the latest box office smash and the med-student-turned-summertime-playboy/waiter, Robbie, made reference to using his tips from that summer to buy an Alfa Romeo.

Commute in the award-winning comfort of a Chrysler Pacifica
Commuting to and from work generally is not fun. I used to spend over two hours each day in my car and I have friends who spend more than three hours a day just getting back and forth from work. Let’s not even mention the folks who office from their vehicle on a daily basis. Yikes! When you have a vehicle with (almost) all the … Read More
