As long as I can remember I wanted to drive. I used to sit behind the wheel of my dad’s big old car and pretend I was driving when I was a kid. When I was approaching 16 years old I bought car magazines just drooling at these magnificent machines. Did you have the same…

We’ve grown up hearing how at times words can be hurtful. I’m sure we’ve all said things that we may regret later in life. We’ve also said things that essentially mean very little. I think it’s all about how you take what’s been said. To some people, words mean very little. They’re just words. To…

It’s helpful to have these warnings, provided you notice the warnings. The same can be said about driving. We have so many warning signs on our daily commute, but do you…

I love driving. Okay, that’s got to be one of the most obvious statements I can make if you’re a regular reader of my articles. One of the reasons I enjoy driving is the fact I create space around my vehicle to help me and my passengers remain safe. I also get to share these…

Changes can be tricky

As most people do, I like new things. I tend to buy new things for my family instead of myself, but I do like new things regardless. Sometimes doing something different is just what I need to change things around in my day. After all, who wants to do the same things over and over…

We all know there are times when we push the envelope and try to get ahead. For many of us, we only think about the immediate and not about the future. But what about long term? Do we think about our long term goals or objectives enough, especially while driving? Probably not, but it’s never…
