Car Rental that Doesn’t Suck

April 2, 2015 by Mike

So I was in Colorado recently. Needed to rent a car. Normally a PITA but I was recommended this up and coming rental company – Silvercar.
Silvercar bills itself as ‘car rental that doesn’t suck’. You rent using a mobile app and every car is a silver Audi. All vehicles come with GPS, Wi-Fi and satellite radio and gas charges are local pump prices, plus $5.

Rates vary from $49 to $89 per day and vary widely between locations. Your destination and dates will determine whether the cost is worth it compared with the usual rental car suspects. Prices for an economy car from a mainsteam rental agency during the same time were almost the same as Silvercar’s.

Customer service is great and no lines to wait in or paperwork to complete. Plus…every Silvercar is an Audi!

JP Motorcycles Free Shipping Offer

March 1, 2015 by Mike

So for those of you that know I’m not a motorcycle guy. Don’t get me wrong I think they are awesome, fun machines. My lack of affinity is tied to the fact that a friend of mine – while riding intelligently and maturely – long story short – came off his bike at speed and has never walked since. For a man with a family that kind of risk is not an option.

But these things come my way so I’ll pass it on to those of you that do ride.

The Not So Humble Crotch Rocket

February 13, 2015 by Mike_D

motorcycleWe all know them: those guys on the Japanese motorcycles, usually garishly-colored, and usually speeding down the road. They are lovingly-referred to as crotch rockets. These motorcycles elicit a wide range of reactions, ranging from “Damn, what a schmuck” to “Seriously nice ride.” So here are a couple of arguments for the opposing sides following.

The case for manly: Cars are the epitome of masculinity. Big engines, ignition, rubber and metal…it’s all present. Men have worked on making their vehicles quicker, sleeker, and basically, cooler, since the invention of the car. The crotch rocket is continuation of this never ending pursuit for speed, and it’s one of the manliest around.

Crotch rockets are the Lamborghini of motorcycles–sleek and fast. There’s nothing unmanly about the Lamborghini  so why would this not transfer over to crotch rockets?

The case for not manly: Riding a motorcycle, in and of itself, is definitely manly, if not safe. When a guy chooses to ride something other than some classic bike, like for example a Triumph or Indian is where the issue lies for some. Now, not everyone can pay for or locate such awesome pieces of machinery. The focus is that if you’re embracing your masculine wish to work on a machine that will go fast and get you oily, try to focus it on something less fast and more poppy. There are a large number of affordable motorcycles out there that fit this category.

Crotch rockets are the Jägermeister to a Harley Davidson’s 12 year old scotch. They have the same end, but the former is for your indulgence, the latter is for real passion.

Best Film Car Chases Ever

January 10, 2015 by Mike_D

blue_beatup_car

 

The famous chase scene The Bourne Identity is instantly memorable as one of the handful of occasions a little Cooper  dominates in a  chase (see: An Italian Guy , Job (1969), a film which would  show on this list, were it longer). Matt Damon and Franka Potente, using the streets (and pathways and paths) of Paris, evading their pursuers at each and every turn, causing mayhem and destruction in their wake.

The main  element is using the Mini’s advantageous small size in the narrow Parisian streets; in addition to  the short wheelbase and low center of gravity, enabling impressive handbrake turns and quick maneuvering. This scene is really a memorable clip in a memorable movie.
