BMW's Ugliest Blunders

BMW's Ugliest Blunders

Photo by Artiom Vallat on Unsplash BMW is known for making some of the best luxury cars in the world. The brand has been around since 1916 and has been producing high-quality vehicles. But even with a long history, BMW has had its share of blunders. From strange concepts that never made it past the drawing board to concept cars that were too far ahead of their time, here are five of my favorite ugly BMW's.    BMW i3. The BMW i3 is a city car, meaning it's designed to be used in urban areas and around town. The car has a range of about 100 miles, so you'll have to charge it more often than not if you drive long distances.   BMW Z18. The Z18 is a concept car built for the 50th anniversary of BMW's M1, and it's not just ugly; it's downright bizarre. The two-seater has a mid-mounted engine and carbon fiber body. It looks like the lovechild of ... read more

Driving Habits That Save Lives and Wallets

Driving Habits That Save Lives and Wallets

Driving Habits That Save Lives and Wallets Photo by Farzanah Rosli on Unsplash Research psychologists define a habit as “a process whereby context prompts action automatically, through activation of mental context”--essentially, a habit is when we do something automatically because the situation calls for it. A lot of what we do while driving could be defined as “habit”, though we may just think of them as road safety rules. We barely think about turning on our blinkers, checking both ways before crossing a street, or braking at stop signs. Through experience and lots of practice, these are just habits we’ve built.  Habits are simpler to build than you think.  Your basic driving habits keep you safe on the road. Though they might not feel easy to do at first, the more you practice, the more automatic they’ll feel–just like turning on you ... read more
