If you’re looking to save some cash – or if you’ve just realized that it’s silly to buy a new car that will immediately depreciate approximately ten percent the minute you drive it off the dealership lot, you’re probably leaning towards making your next “new” car a used car. Good for you! Buying used is […]
Once you start a family, it would be no exaggeration to say that everything changes. Your routine (or, let’s face it – your child free lack of routine) has suddenly been replaced with a stringent regiment of nap times, snack times, and play times. Your once immaculate home is now covered in a thin layer […]
The suburbs get a really bad rap. All those perfectly manicured lawns, the homogeneity of the houses, the lack of culture as compared to the nearby bustling cities. However, the one thing that the suburbs can always offer that most cities can’t? Ample parking. Why should you care about parking? Because once you set your […]
Once you become a parent, you become a lot of other things too – a full-time nanny, a chef, a housekeeper, a personal assistant, a nurse… hell, I’ve even caught myself playing the role of an engineer when trying to ascertain why certain obnoxious music toys refuse to light up and blast “Old MacDonald Had […]
Hopefully, you are at a stage in your life where being considered “cool” just isn’t that big of a deal anymore. You know what I mean – we were all teenagers once, teenagers who freaked out if they didn’t have the right Jansport backpack or the coolest flip phone (I’m clearly aging myself here). But […]
Ah, it’s the age-old question that everybody asks when it comes time to head to the car dealership: should you lease or buy your next car? Of course, there are pros and cons to both methods and a lot depends on your personal situation. However, if you haven’t been faced with having to choose between […]
By now it’s old movie trope – the unaware soon-to-be father cruising along in his sexy sports car, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by a thin blue line. Of course, rather than be overjoyed at the prospect of his bundle of joy, the first thing that the father thinks is that he […]
So you’re searching for used cars and you’re suddenly realizing there is a whole lot more that goes into a buying a used car than simply finding one online and sending a quick payment to the seller via Venmo or PayPal. It’s okay, we understand – buying a used car seems like one of those things that […]
Life is full of tough choices – deciding what car to buy next shouldn’t be one of them, although with the number of new makes and models flooding the market every single year, it’s no surprise that car shoppers are often overwhelmed when it comes time to make that decision. Oftentimes, running a quick comparison […]
Maybe it all started when you signed up for that first credit card in college and promptly maxed it out by hitting the bar scene. Or maybe you had to buy new clothes for your first job… which then lead to having a fabulous wardrobe but not enough income to pay off the monthly bill […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or just taking a summertime snooze from the daily news), you’ve most likely heard the buzz that many countries are looking to ban gas-powered cars in the coming years. France and England are leading the charge – both are planning to stop the sale of gas-powered automobiles by […]
If you’re debating between buying the 2017 Toyota Camry or the 2017 Nissan Altima, we can make this really easy for you: buy the Camry. You’re welcome. No, but really, you should buy the 2017 Toyota Camry. Of course, you’d probably like to know why we think the Camry lays the smackdown on the Altima, […]
I would say it’s possible that I have commitment problems, but this ring on my finger and baby on my hip make that a false statement. Although I guess it’s possible that I do have a fear of long term relationships – with my car that is. Yup. When it comes to cars, I’m a […]
Here’s a car you probably haven’t considered buying – the 2017 Chevy Trax. To be honest, this compact SUV has been so overshadowed by other family-friendly Chevys like the Equinox and the Tahoe that it really hadn’t even registered as a contender for my next family car. However, I was doing a little browsing on […]
So you’ve finally lost the battle huh? If you’re reading this, most likely you’ve surrendered to the fact that it’s time to accept that you are in the market for a minivan. It’s okay – we all start out saying “I’ll never drive one of those” and then 2.5 kids, one dog and one mortgage […]
Here’s a riddle for you: what do a Maserati and a Minivan have in common? If you said four wheels and a steering column, well then, yes – you’re right. And of course, they both start with the letter ‘M’. But really, that’s where one would think most of the shared similarities between the sexy […]
Remember the days when you would go car shopping and your biggest criteria was: do I look good driving this? Oh, just me? Well, anyways, as time has gone on and I’ve gotten married and had kids, I’ve lost the vanity (it’s really tough to care how you look when you haven’t sleep in weeks […]
It’s tough being a parent. You need to keep your kids fed, clothed, bathed, make sure they do their homework and learn their manners. In this day of helicopter parenting, you also need to make sure that you have protected them against every possible risk known to man. Do you think your parents were running […]
Sometimes, it’s hard to do the right thing. Doing the right thing could cost you time, money, friends. You may start to resent what you’ve done, even though you know you’ve made a decision that will help others in the long term. And it may be that doing the right thing might be trendy right […]
It’s one of the longest standing rivalries in America, and it shows no sign of letting up in 2017. No, stemming from the days when Ford and Chevy went head to head with the muscle-car Mustang and Camaro, the car makers have battled it out across the automotive playing field and nowhere is this more […]
