There’s something magnificent about the aura surrounding a beautiful new car. Sometimes it’s the defining growl of the engine; other times it’s the advanced technology worthy of bragging about. Like a complex watch, purchasing a luxury vehicle is the milestone of progress in your road of life. Don’t think of it as a money pit, because if you do, you’re probably not ready for it. Dream big, and make those giant leaps towards it. If you’re already playing in the sandbox, by all means, play hard. These are the moments you’ve been waiting for.

In a distant episode from the Simpsons, Nelson once laughed at a man exceedingly crammed in a small car. His tune immediately changed as an 8′ giant stepped out of the car and taught the young bully lesson, forcing an apology and making him do the walk of shame in his underpants. Nelson quickly learned his lesson – never underestimate a guy in a small car. Times have changed since...
Reggie and Madaline recently completed a road trip to Creemore and Wasaga Beach, Ontario in the new 2016 Ford F-150 Limited, sponsored by Autoroad. In terms of summer vacationing, this summer most Canadians can agree on one thing: travelling to the US may not be in the budget. The Canadian dollar is at an unfortunate low, and as most analysts are identifying Canadians as hesitant of heading south...
Audi is introducing a special edition of its R8 sports car to celebrate its victory at the Nürburgring 24 Hours last year in the racing version of the car, the R8 LMS. It’s called the "Audi R8 V10 plus selection 24h." It’s a weird name — but there’s nothing weird about the beautiful car itself. It’s based on the already great Audi R8 V10 plus, but has a number of...
There’s something synonymous between style and the Jaguar. Call it a bond between the British luxury car maker and its visionary design director, Ian Callum. Or maybe it’s the decades of industry-leading design, dating back to 1945. Or it could be as simple as saying the jaguar is the coolest feline in the animal kingdom. Whatever that theoretical reason may be: the Jaguar and its...
Every month, it seems, we get closer to a world full of self-driving cars. Google’s tiny self-driving cars keep popping up in new states and cities; Ford and GM keep making strategic investments; and the all-electric Formula E is helping create Roborace, a fantastic-looking autonomous racing series. So it’s almost not surprising that angel investor and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Josh...
There are a lot of differences between the Ferrari F12 and Lamborghini Aventador. But at the same time, there are a few similarities too. They both have about 700 horsepower, give or take. They both are large touring cars. And they both make everything else on the road look inferior—but that’s beside the point. With that in mind, two drivers took to the track in their respective Italian...
Swedish automaker Volvo will send up to 100 self-driving cars to China for testing on public roads in a variety of conditions, the company’s CEO announced at a seminar in Beijing today.

Volvo will first conduct a public test of its self...
The autonomous race cars in the upcoming Roborace driverless racing series will use Nvidia’s Drive PX 2 supercomputer as a brain. The PX 2, which was announced back at CES in January, uses 12 CPU cores to produce eight teraflops of computing power and 24 trillion operations a second. It can combine information from a wide array of sensors, including radar, LIDAR, cameras, GPS, and high...
If you can’t wait to get your hands on the new Corvette Grand Sport, then grab a duffel bag full of cash and get your butt to Palm Beach, Florida, this weekend. The automotive auction masters at Barrett-Jackson will preside over ceremonies featuring the newest Corvette model on Friday, April 8th, at 6 p.m. sharp, so make sure to leave plenty of time to get from Hooters to the auction house.

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.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
