    AWD vs. FWD ... in snow

    Hi all, I was never a car guy, but been learning a ton through my journey in searching for the next commuter car. From what I've read, AWD is not really a safety feature as most advertising mislead us into believing it is. It is more of performance-related, in which you are less likely to...

    Ever thought about downsizing?

    I've been contemplating downsizing for a few reasons. The main one being that I am taking a lot less long rides (minimum 5+ hours) and touring trips on the bike. If we do go far, I tend to take the car so it's more comfy for the both of us. Also starting this season, I'll be commuting...
