Finally, a car that excites

on December 26th, 2011 at 8:30 pm

Its been ages since a new car really excited me. Well, let me elaobrate. Its ages since something with an automatic tramission and four doors exited me since the Pontiac GrandPrix GTP back in the 90′s.

Thank you Chrylser, for a sexy more polished 300 with a 6.4 liter monster under the hood!

Good-bye Goodison Insurance

After 23 odd years using the Goodison Insurance Broker in Brampton for my car insurance needs, the time has come to cut them loose. I got a notification from work about a group rate the other day. I called up, and went through the online quote process. I just about fell out of my chair. Almosthalf the cost for the exact same coverage. I called up to confirm, and sure
enough it was true.

I called Goodison and asked what’s going in. They said they wanted to go away and get a competitive offer. They called back again with a number that was about 200 bucks over my other rate and a whole bunch cheaper then my currnet rates.

I expect my broker to be proactively looking out for my best rate every time I renew. That is why they exist. They failed miserably. They not only failed miserably but gouged me in the process.

Poor show guys.

Where I’ve Been

Posted In: Mini, Racing

The racing season is drawing to a close and I havent been to a sing race. Not Solo1 with the black Mini. Not a Solo2 with the green Mini. Nothing.

A couple of life’s little occurances have kept me away this year. First, I walked away from my previous employer of over 6 years for greener fields. I traded a role I disliked, and poor job security for one that I enjoy and perhaps as secure as anything is these days. However it was hard to dole out money to go racing when you make a transition like that.

But by far, the largest reason I’ve kept away from racing is I’m getting my self married. Yep, the guy who never would..is. And dang these wedding things are expensive!

Any way…I’ll see what happens next year…Wifey in tow.
