Hyundai Ioniq EV, 1 Year and 10K Miles
I’ve written once or twice about this vehicle. It came to me by chance, a blog post online about “the cheapest EV lease ever” and a few days later, I was driving home from New York State with a lease under $100 for a fully electronic vehicle. 10K miles a year, 140 miles of range …
My Car: Hyundai Ioniq – 4 Months and 3000 miles Review
It’s been 3,000 miles since I took delivery of the Hyundai Ioniq. Not much and a rolling average of around 9,000 miles a year which is actually in line with my lease but the miles would be much higher if the Ioniq was able to get more than 100 miles on a charge. This 2019 …

New Car: the Winter Beater, my 2015 Ford Escape S
On November 15th, I received an email from our mobile mapping team at work….well, everyone did. The info was in regards to a fleet of 20-30 Ford Escape vehicles that they felt would be nice to allow employees to purchase as they were being retired from the fleet. Some of our maps are still made …

I wanted to do a service to the community by posting a guide on each service interval and what you’ll need to do it yourself. Here are links to parts you’ll need for every single …
My Car: Spring Engine Bay Cleaning – MK7 Golf R
Replaced my VWR 600 Air Filter due to the filter failing after 2 years and thought it’d be a good idea to also clean the engine bay of all of the salt from a long New Hampshire Winter.
My Car: Cars & Coffee NH/VT, April 2017
I started this event last year as we don’t have any form of Cars & Coffee less than 90 minutes from our area. This is our 3rd event and the first one of 2017. I took a few photos. Turnout was great!
