CarSpace Camera Phone Road ShowOut and about in Southern California Feb 15, 2008 - What is your ideal retirement car?I posed this question on the Driving Woman blog on Edmunds.com.
Jan 31, 2008 - And sadness rained down upon the land.We are trading in our nice, but fuel inefficient cars for cheap, fuel efficient used cars. Boo hoo for my driving pleasure, yay for my bank account.
Jan 2, 2008 - ExhaustingOne thing I noticed when I was driving other cars recently (Saturn Aura, Honda Civic Hybrid) is that their filters are not as good as the ones in my Volvo XC90. I keep the climate controls set to recirc all the time because I hate the smell of exhaust and I really hate when the car in front of me is being driven by a smoker and I can smell their cigarette smoke! The Volvo saves me from all of that. It also saves me from having to smell the charred remains of Malibu Canyon during wildfire season. The Saturn and the Honda did not. After getting a whiff of something, I was often checking to see if the climate controls were set to recirc, and they usually were. Sometimes they were not, however. I hate when cars switch off of recirc automatically! Why do they do this? Another question: why am I rambling incoherently about vehicle climate control settings?
Dec 14, 2007 - My Baby Fits in the 2008 Honda Civic HybridI posted over on the Driving Woman blog about my overnight test drive of the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. Also, my baby is cute, right?
Dec 5, 2007 - Driving the 2007 Saturn Aura XRI took out Edmunds' long-term test Saturn Aura this weekend and posted about it on the Long-Term Test blog and on the Driving Woman blog.
Nov 28, 2007 - Evidence of My Speedy Commute
Jul 20, 2007 - Too Pregnant to DriveI love my Volvo SUV, but at nine months pregnant, getting in and out of that thing is not easy. Once I have this baby, then I will again be glad I bought such a paragon of safety and suburbanosity.
