The fastest 100 meters skateboarded by a dog? 19.65 seconds. The most toilet seats broken by the head in one minute? A head-aching 46. But the fastest log car? Until January 20th that rather unlikely title had yet to be crowned. Now of course, it has, and...

But earlier this week I found myself soaring above the earth, skyscrapers in the distant background, ships gently rocking on the water below. I was wide...

Ahead of its earnings call today, Tesla Motors has announced that it will show its Model 3 — a critical, mass-market vehicle far cheaper than the Model S and X that it sells currently — on March 31st, just a few weeks away. This isn’t an actual release, though: that’s still many months away, with production and first deliveries coming in 2017. CEO Elon Musk had previously said that...
With the brisk winter air beating down on the poor, unsuspecting Chicago Auto Show goers, Chevy hopes that its new reveal will bring some warmth to McCormick Place. And why shouldn’t it? The 2017 Camaro 1LE looks hot, and comes in two new flavors. First we get a taste of the new V6.

RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
