Unless you’re Jack Bauer, who was always ‘ten minutes out’ from anywhere in LA to anywhere else in LA, driving in the City of Angels is a bugger. On Oscar night, getting around is almost impossible. The police shut down the nearest subway stations to the big event because of the whole terrorism thing. But that’s not our problem because we’re not go

Groupies. Big hair. Guitars. Booze. Drugs. If you were playing a board game that asked you to describe rock stars without using certain obvious words, these would probably be on the no-fly list.

2019 marks the 30 th anniversary of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. With a shorter program of press conferences than previous years, you might be tempted to think it’s slim pickings for noteworthy news – but you’d be wrong. This year’s Detroit auto show saw two performance milestones and the return of a sports car icon, and

The fourth generation of the Kia Rio 5-Door brings with it comfort, comfort, and… more comfort. Oh and also connectivity. To maintain a sub-$15K price tag, however, the Korean subcompact had a few sacrifices to make. But can you identify them? Good luck…. WENDAKE, Quebec – If you had told me, when I started this career at the turn of the millen

At 150 years old, Canada is pretty much a geographic toddler compared to most nations, but as Canadians, we’ve crammed a lot of greatness into the past century and a half. More than that, as a collective body of interesting people, culture, and stunning physical geography, Canada is pretty unique. It’s a darn big place, too, and if you plan to e

Where will Ontario's 500 new government-funded EV chargers be placed? We now know the answer. The Ontario government has begun installing a province-wide network of electric vehicle charging stations as part of the $325 million Green Investment Fund it announced in 2015. By the end of March 2017, the charging stations will be operational at
