running?

Two months ago, if you asked me how I felt about running, I'd say "I hate running...I'm not a runner...I'd rather swim".Any attempts I made to run consisted of plodding, red-faced jogs that maxed out in 10 minutes.   

Then a co-worker challenged me to run in Harry's Spring Run Off. A 5km or 8km race held annually in High Park, Toronto to raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer.

 I think I suprised myself when I said yes.

I did a little experiment in regards to how much one might pay for parking in Toronto. Since I got my Cube, I've kept every single parking tag/ recipt, and parking ticket I've recieved in the past 6months. (reminder to self.. don't park in fron of fire hydrants.. even for 1/2hr)


My grand total on Jan 01, 2010 is 704.92$.... yow! thats approx 117$/month.


This is my first vehicle.. so who knows if this is average?


Ah,,, whateves.. the Cube's worth it!

officially winter

 I like to snowboard. Do you? For those riders living in Toronto, this means a good 1 1/2 hr or 2hrs driving up hwy400. Usually I find myself driving up through a thick snowstorm because that's when you know the riding is gonna be good! Last winter, I was car-less, but, a member of ZipCar. This gave me the opportunity to "test drive" many cars through snow. After experiencing some white knuckled blizzards drives I was left dissapointed in many of the cars and wishing desperatley for some winter tires. Now that I have a Cube (!!) I've been waiting for some snow on the ground to see how it performs! This summer I got to get acquainted with my Cube's handling. But now, finally, its officially winter in Toronto!  Its cold and snowing (sort of). I purchased some Michelin XIce2 Winter tires and had them put on several weeks ago. This weekend I finally had the chance to test them out in some snow during my drive up north to Barrie.

OKay so its taken awhile for me to figure this out, I think its worked out.


Back when I first picked up my Cube, I was so excited that I couldn't drive it enough! I took it around and showed it to so many people and most of the time they'd sit in the Cube and oogle the roof, the steering wheel controls, the spaciousness, the seat details....and, a few took it on a 'test drive'.


I decided to capture some of these moments with moving pictures. I had only just discovered how to use the video function on my camera, and in my happiness I forgot to pull out my camera most of the time. But here is a snippet of a blip in time from July 2009


Looking back, I feel time is flying.
