2012 Chevy Volt Review

This last week I've had the opportunity to drive and get fairly comfortable with a 2012 Chevy Volt and all I can say is this is a sweet car. My normal commute is around 100 miles round trip. This car can almost make the trip to work completely on a charge and when its plugged in all day at work will be pretty much completely charged for the ride home. It's very rare for this car to burn more than a half gallon round trip. One thing I've noticed is that traffic becomes your friend. Normally I would avoid any and all traffic no matter what but now it's saving me money. Getting past the obvious electric advantages, the interior of this vehicle is beautiful. Very stylish and comfortable. Technology wise it's making an attempt to be state of the art but isn't anything amazing. My father has had some difficulty getting used to the controls but that's a generational difference. Aside from the technology, interior and fuel economy, this car handles like a professional go cart, very tight suspension and entertaining drive style. In the end this car can be purchased used for around $20,000 if you wait for a good opportunity, patience is key. Overall, fantastic cheap electric vehicle. Go check one out for yourself.

Motorola Droid RAZR and the Motorola MOTOACTV

The Droid RAZR by Motorola is the future of smartphones and has the features to back it up. This phone has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, an 8MP primary camera with a 1.3MP front facing camera, a huge 4.3-in. Super AMOLED Advanced qHD screen, and 16gb of internal memory with a 16gb microsd installed expandable to 32gb giving this phone a potential 48gb of memory! With a super slim design, light weight, 4G LTE network and ANDROID platform this is a great phone to have. In my opinion the only negative would be the price tag, which is $300. This device also can connect wirelessly to a device that truly impressed me. The Motorola MOTOACTV.

The little device is the future of wrist technology, so it only makes sense that I link them together. I have always been a fan of Motorola's products and this "smartwatch", as I call it, has impressive functionality. This is the dream of anyone who runs or works out and can store your music, monitor your heart rate, and also track your location giving accurate running distances.
