Shoprimising! Car shopping isn’t fun
Let me tell ya…recently buying a vehicle was not an easy relaxing endeavour. I had all these requirements to be safe, financially economical for me and my family, practical, and have some style while at the same time be as fuel efficient as possible.
I quickly realised that there is no such vehicle! Doesn’t exist, I don’t care what all those commercial’s say, they are lying…not to be a pessimist…screw it, I earned it! Anyways I ended up buying a Jeep Patriot, the gas mileage is excellent, price is fair, safe as you can get really, reliable, as for styling it doesn’t make me feel like puking.
If anyone is looking to use a site that will let you compare makes and models’ fuel efficiency (even used cars) go to: http://www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/tools/fuel-consumption-guide/fuel-consumption-guide.cfm?attr=8 …it’s Canada’s fuel consumption guide, they even have a down-loadable pdf guide.
That being said, I am still a little sore from the experience…
Here is the Mastercard (TM) commercial I came up with after this experience:
One Car……….$18000
Taxes…….. $2340
Insurance…..$1000
Getting screwed three times in one day…PRICELESS!
Happy shopping and remember that as painful as it is to buy a car sometimes, there is something to be said about setting some standards to help you make the decision - I chose a vehicle that married economics, safety and fuel efficiency.
“Shoprimising”: its the new thing, and you heard it here first!

Why Bamboo?
Because it’s an incredible eco-friendly natural fibre!
Bamboo is easy to grow and harvest, has surface roots that doesn’t erode the soil, and the whole shoot can be used; the fabric has natural moisture wicking…
