What’s it like to race a Toyota Sienna at Road America?

May 23 by 3 Comments

What’s it like to race a Toyota Sienna at Road America?

The answer is: I don’t know. Toyota thought it would be a bad idea to let me burn rubber in their latest version of the “Swagger Wagon”. But after a seven hour drive from Wisconsin to Indiana, I realized there wouldn’t have been much tire smoke to begin with, as this is the only all-wheel […]

Why good parents bring their kids to the Indy 500

Why good parents bring their kids to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500.

2015 Mazda 3: It should have its own infomercial

You know what I’m talking about, a can of spray paint that can patch a hole in the Titanic, a wrench that can become a table saw. True or not, multi-purpose devices are convenient, for example: I have a screwdriver that stores about 16 different bits in its handle, and what about our smartphones? They […]

Battle of the Car Seats: Britax vs Graco

Car seats, more specifically toddler car seats — love them or hate them, we need them, and our little ones need them even more. But allow me to be honest, and please be honest with yourself as well… don’t you just hate how clumsy and pain in the butt they can be? I do. So […]

2015 Kia Sedona: An executive ride to NYC

“How did the kids enjoy the Sedona, that’s the most important thing I wanna know!” Missi and I were asked by a genuinely interested, and rather energetic Michael Sprague, Kia’s Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President in New York City. Luxury, technology, handsome styling and even great handling aren’t attributes you’d normally associate with […]

Texas-sized fun at Mr. Gatti’s Pizza!
