On the morning show we talked about couples renewing their wedding vows, a practice often seen on 10th or 20th anniversaries. I gave it some thought during a commercial break and came to the conclusion that people might be looking at it the wrong way. Sure, you can renew your vows and pledge once again…… Continue Reading

Review: 2019 GMC Acadia Denali
This is America, which means everything must get bigger and bigger. If ever the saying “size is everything” applies, it’s the SUV category for automobile manufacturers. If it was 185-inches long last year, then by gum we’re gonna make it 189-inches this year. Harummphh! But whoa, Nelly. The folks at GMC either didn’t get the…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Chevy Equinox Premier AWD
Before I even got behind the wheel of the Chevy Equinox – my first time to ever drive one – I was curious what others thought of it. Discrepancies immediately popped up. Many of the professional reviewers were giving it anywhere from 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5. But actual owners had it hovering…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Chevrolet Traverse
Over the years I’ve seen cars and SUVs that offered several trim styles, but the Chevy Traverse really stretches those capabilities. Companies are sometimes accused of trying to be all things to all people, but with the Traverse it’s really more about plugging in the right pieces for your needs. And since that could run…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Acura MDX A-Spec
I love to learn how specific cars were named. Back in the good ol’ days we actually got to have badass names for our rides, like Mustang, Cougar, Thunderbird, Camaro, and, uh, Accord. Okay, so they weren’t all badass. But at least they were names. Today we’re drowning in letters and numbers. Who could ever…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Kia Sorento SXL
There are families out there – yours may be one – that longs for an SUV with three rows of seats. Yeah, there’s a market for it, but it’s funny (to me, anyway) that car makers are forcing a third row into mid-size vehicles. Hey, if you need a bus, buy a big SUV, I…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Lexus GS F
Some people long for a smooth luxury car, filled with high-quality materials and plush comfort. Others clamor for a beast on the road, something that will satisfy their animal urge for power. Marry the two and you find yourself behind the wheel of the Lexus GS F. Power and class combined. The Basics The GS…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Subaru Forester Sport
In Colorado we don’t officially have a “State Car,” but it might come down to a battle between Jeep and the Subaru Outback. Having said that, however, Subaru has another candidate that might just elbow its way into the debate. The Forester shows off its newly-redesigned style and pizzazz for 2019 with cargo space for…… Continue Reading
Dom’s Book Club for January, 2019: Make Your Bed, by William H. McRaven
This is perhaps one of the shortest books I’ve ever featured in my book club, and I love that. Maybe you’re like me and you’ve read 375-page non-fiction books that could’ve easily been condensed into 150 pages. Or less. William McRaven is a former Navy Seal who addressed the graduating class of the University of…… Continue Reading
Review: 2018 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium
Sure, the old adage about “ain’t broke/don’t fix it” can apply to car design, but Volkswagen apparently feels strongly about it. While other car manufacturers are only too happy to roll out full redesigns of their models every few years, VW has decided that the Passat is just fine as it is, thank you. And…… Continue Reading
