Exploring the Differences Between Open and Enclosed Car Transport Services for Travel Aficionados

Whether you’re a seasonal traveler or you take long trips to explore new destinations, it may make sense to ship your car to your destination instead of renting or relying on public transportation.

Volvo V60 is a Wagon for the Driving Enthusiast

It appears we’ve forgotten how to travel lightly. I have nothing against SUVs and crossovers, but with nearly two-thirds of today’s vehicle purchases being some form of truck, it begs the question: do most of us really need this much vehicle? I’m not sure how many hockey bags today’s smallish

Elantra Continues to Surprise with Premium Content

All Photos by Neil Moore.  Far too often, auto scribes have pointed out how “Hyundai has raised the bar yet again,” making reference to its best-forgotten nameplates from the 1980’s: Pony, the unstellar Stellar and the Excel that didn’t. Yeah, we’ve all heard this before, and it’s unfair to keep

Cloudless, blue skies are drawing nearer for the Toronto band Sun K with the release of their debut album on March 10. The eight-track collection titled Northern Lies, brings together a combination of folk and rock genres creating a fresh and catchy sound. “We like to call it folk ’n’

Escape to Mont Tremblant

If you ask me, January and February are the hardest months of the year to get through. Not only is all the hype from the holidays over, but the snow and slush on the roads make getting around town a huge headache! I have experienced my fair share of winters in

My New Years Resolution – Sleep!

With the dawn of a new year, most of us have thoughts of making positive changes in our lives. But few think of getting more sleep. Sleep is one of the four pillars of optimal health, and more and more research is highlighting its importance as part of a healthy
