How did the great Spanish painter Pablo Picasso come to get his name on a mid-level French people-mover? Is it that the vehicle is a priceless work of art? A vision of abstract modernism? Or is it connecting to Picasso’s left leanings — a car for all the people (or at least all the family)?
From the space-age panoramic windscreen and sunroof to the funky 3D-effect tail-lights, the Picasso is unlike anything you’d expect from a people-mover. Continue reading →

It seems that almost everyone knows ICBC is losing money, a lot of money.
While drivers might imagine ICBC only uses their insurance premiums to pay for the actual cost of a part used in a repair or only pay for repairs that are required, that’s not the case.

We’re changing policy that requires our public insurer to pay to replace the “moulding” of a windshield every time — even if the moulding doesn’t actually require replacement. Continue reading →

Many of you have asked over the years how much extra money you’re spending on vehicle repairs and how much extra wear-and-tear is happening on your car or truck because of potholes and bad road surfaces. We have an answer from a different point of view.

That equates out to about 6,000 miles a year on that stretch of bad road. We broke the news to him the study showed a 10-to-1 ratio for wear and tear which would equate to a damage estimate of more than 60,000 miles of wear and tear on his truck. Continue reading →
