This post was waiting in my saved files for a long time, but today is the special day. Today is my late grandfather's birthday. He was not only a great scientist, director of a research institute, but also a person with the biggest heart ever. He was my mentor, my friend and the ideal model of how a real man should be. This post is for you, grandpa Volodya! I miss you a lot.

Do you know that many car manufacturing facilities offer tours?
For example, if you live in Southern Ontario, you may visit Honda and Toyota plants. If you are willing to drive a bit longer, you may visit Ford Rouge Plant west of Detroit, MI.
Here are some links:

Car review: 2019 Toyota C-HR XLE
We reserved a compact sedan for our one week journey through the mountains. Originally the trip was planned for 4 people, with 2 drivers and 2 suitcases. By the time of the actual trip, however, our group shrunk to two drivers and one passenger, though still with two suitcases. When we got our car, I was glad that we had just three people.
Our car for a week was the Toyota C-HR XLE. Actually, it was a lucky coincidence, because my partner was considering it for purchase. I was trying to say gently that it is not the car for her. During our trip she came to the same conclusion without my help.
Let's start!

Jeep Cherokee
I didn't take it on the road, just checked at the show. Have to admit, that I like the design of the dashboard and panels. Intuitive, logical, nothing is blocked.
Would be interesting to test drive 2020 Jeep Cherokee

Subjective opinion: cars' colour
When I was young and naive my dream car was a black Ford Mustang. I wanted to have my own black horse with a lot of power, something around 460 hp. However, with aging my attraction to black cars got ruined by a rather practical view.
