eCarOne: June 2014

http://blog.ecarone.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I turned 40 last month and in the last almost quarter century of having a driver’s license, I have owned more than 20 Mercedes Benz vehicles and have driven probably twice as many. I’ve driven them all… from a 1967 SL280 Roadster to a 2014 S550 Sedan…. Big or small, convertible, hatchback, sedan, wagon, SUV, coupe… you name it, I have probably driven it! Well, that something to be desired was found last week; when I drove a 2012 E550 Convertible from eCarOne. However, I just want ...

eCarOne: October 2012

http://blog.ecarone.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 7, 2012. His First Used Car. Ever! I don’t like used cars and I don’t like used women. Someone very close to me used to say this and although the second half of the statement is rather crass I included it so that you get the idea of how this man perceives used cars. He has never owned a used car and his reasoning has always been that he’d rather pay more and get something new than save money and get something with problems or issues. After discussing the economics for a bit, he finally sa...

eCarOne: July 2013

http://blog.ecarone.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 5, 2013. Blu-Ray in the car, coming soon to a dealer near you. I love movies and I am a huge fan of high definition. When Blu-ray won the battle against HD format, I was ecstatic. My wife could not see the difference in picture quality. Are you kidding me! The difference is huge. HD resolution is 1280x720 vs. 1920x1080. That’s 921,600 pixels vs. 2,073,600. More than double the pixels. You can argue and say for screens smaller than 40”, 720p is more than enough. That is correct....I will leav...

eCarOne: The Ultimate Coupe

http://blog.ecarone.com/2013/09/the-ultimate-coupe.html

Sunday, September 29, 2013. A few weeks ago I posted my thoughts about a 2014 BMW M6 Grand Coupe that eCarOne. Let me drive over a weekend. That car, in my opinion, was probably one of the most complete cars I had ever driven. It has power, beauty, finesse, and the practicality of four doors. I enjoyed it so much that sadly I was not looking forward to getting back to my beloved Maserati Quattroporte (which is by far my favorite of all 35 cars I've owned). My son fearlessly says "the Bentley! ECarOne Blo...

eCarOne: Why Customize?

http://blog.ecarone.com/2013/01/why-customize.html

Thursday, January 31, 2013. Why do people take perfectly good cars and alter them by adding aftermarket products? There is no good answer for this question but I'm going to attempt to explain why I personally feel the need to alter a perfectly good car or anything else for that matter. Ah, my Maserati. let's get back to cars. I drive a Maserati Quattroporte and although I personally think this is one of the most beautiful sedans on the road today, I really wanted the coupe. Since I couldn't h...Exhaust a...

eCarOne: May 2014

http://blog.ecarone.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 14, 2014. An SUV Fit for a King. My first car in high school was a 1986 Chevy Spectrum that was handed down to me from my mom. It was maroon with black plastic bumpers, maroon cloth interior (dash, carpet, steering wheel, and all), and sported a little 4 banger making about 80 bHP. My favorite part about that car was that it was a manual transmission… but that’s all! Oh, and did I mention it didn't have power steering, ABS, power windows or even a radio! Case in point, I purchased a 2014 M...

eCarOne: Mini Me

http://blog.ecarone.com/2014/06/mini-me.html

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Last year I drove a Mercedes GL450 from eCarOne for about a week. That particular week, the GL came in very handy because it was my daughter’s birthday and it was nice to be able to load all the kiddos into one car and haul off to the circus. I recall writing a very favorite review on the GL and till this day, it remains one of my favorite large SUVs. Last week (almost exactly a year from driving the GL), I had the chance to drive a 2013 Mercedes GLK250 Bluetec from eCarOne. Rathe...

eCarOne: The Car that Woke me Up!

http://blog.ecarone.com/2013/09/the-car-that-woke-me-up.html

Tuesday, September 3, 2013. The Car that Woke me Up! Last blog I posted was January this year. So you could say I’ve been hibernating for most of 2013. Life has been very hectic to say the least and finding the time has been a bit of a challenge, but when my buddy from eCarOne. Told me at dinner Friday night that he just got a 2014 BMW M6 Grand Coupe, I felt a rush of adrenaline and all the sudden my hibernation was over! If you’re reading this, you may assume that eCarOne. Get a car that I cannot even f...
