Getaround is a car sharing platform that provides cars for rent from other people looking to rent out their cars. The nice thing about Getaround is that if you need the car for only a few hours, then you can do that and you are charged at a particular rate. For those who don’t want to rent a car for a minimum of a day (or days at a time) such as Turo, this can be a better option. In my experience with needing a truck simply to haul stuff around, it worked. The truck was not in the best condition and I had to fend for myself when I felt I needed help (as a new user) at times, but I got the gravel I needed and the price was right.

When I was introduced to the Booster App a couple years ago, the company had just started off. They were founded in 2015 and had come off several rounds of funding. I was given a promo code that gave me $10 in free gas, so I figured I would use it one time, get the free gas, and abandon the app. Fast forward to today and I still use the app to fill up gas.

The BMW 228i is simply put, a very good car that looks great and does great across a wide range of driving conditions. The base model is incredibly affordable and even without all the costly add-ons, is still a very capable machine. The ride is characteristic of what I expect from a BMW, which is the solid and sturdy body feel of a slightly heavier vehicle. It is this, combined with the harmonious combination of suspension and steering feel that makes driving this car so great.

The first generation of the Mazda Miata has been jokingly referred to as a hairdresser’s car. This was largely due to its puny size and cute demeanor. However, the first generation Miata’s reputation slowly evolved over time. People realized after a while that the car actually handled pretty well. Car enthusiasts started to take notice. These days, the car is praised as one of the best handling cars of all time.

Tire tread depth is extremely important to be aware of for any vehicle. Checking tire tread depth on a regular basis is the key to avoid being in the unfortunate incident of being stuck on the side of the road or even worse, involved in a dangerous car accident. Although simple in its operation, the build quality on this Steelman tread depth gauge is high.

Hand cleaners are one of those things that you may use without giving much thought to. But it’s also one of those things that you can’t live without in the workshop. Without it, you’ll have a hell of a time cleaning all that dirt, oil, and grime off your hands and from under your fingernails. I tried Gojo Hand Cleaner for the first time and found it surprisingly soft on the hands.

Recently on my way home from work, a truck kicked up some gravel which hit my windshield. I heard an incredibly loud “THWACK” sound on the glass in front of me and I quickly spotted the damage: a large, medium, and small chip all side-by-side from one another. I picked up this repair kit to repair the windshield myself.

One look at the Volvo C30 and you may think hot hatch, but Volvo actually considers it a luxury coupe. Perhaps it doesn’t appear luxurious at first glance, but spend some time with this Swedish coupe and it will make sense. After a day out in the C30, I got it. The subtle, but elegant styling cues, as well as its spirited driving characteristics makes this an excellent choice for those who want a zippy car that also exudes luxury.

Over the past year, I tested out a foam cannon along with a snow foam cleanser for all of my car detailing. This Chemical Guys Torq foam cannon makes it easy to apply soap on your vehicle during a car wash, but more importantly it works effectively at cleaning dirt and grime by doing a pre-soak.
