GM Engineers Hit the Road in Drag

Oct 02 2007

2008 Chevy Tahoe

Imagine a team of manly man GM engineers dressed in tight skirts made of garbage bags, wearing high heels and rubber gloves with press-on nails attached. Now imagine them driving around the company’s proving grounds to experience womanhood, thereby enabling them to design full-size SUVs that are more female-friendly. Well, imagine no more, dear reader, for this really happened.


Drive Through, I Love You

Sep 05 2007

I used to be a drive-through snob. I thought only fast food restaurants had drive-throughs, and only in a severe moment of dietary weakness would I succumb to a fast-food craving. Then I had a baby.


Looking Cool in Carpool

How can we moms get through carpool looking our best, even if it’s in jammies? Read on, friends, Mother Proof is here to help (without Joan Rivers, thank God). Try to view this as more of a runway (dare we say driveway) show and less as the Golden Globes on E!


Extra! Extra! A Shocking Revelation

Heads up, ladies, have I got a news flash for you: According to CarMax Inc., “buying a car remains a hassle for women, according to a recent poll.” Well, no @#$%! Despite the not-exactly-earth-shattering nature of this news, the poll did result in some interesting numbers.


Relief From Parking Meter Anxiety?

Aug 17 2007

parking meter

If I could pin my angst about downtown driving on one thing, it wouldn’t be the congestion, the micromini parking spots, the one-way streets or even the maze-like feeling. It would be the parking meters. I don’t like constantly looking at my watch in fear, trying to remember when I parked and how much time I have left.


Power Plant, Chassis, Mani/Pedi?

Jul 16 2007

MKZ

What is it about new-car paint colors that make them perfectly suited for my toenails? One of our recent test cars here at Mother Proof was a Dark Amethyst Lincoln MKX. Dark Amethyst, as in goth black at a certain angle and shockingly purple metallic at another. 


Parking Lot Dynamics

Jul 13 2007

I’ve noticed something about parking lots. When the lot is pretty full, a spot halfway out seems like a dream (think malls during the holidays). But when the lot is empty, all of a sudden that same spot is crappy and not worth parking in.


The Rise of Man Vans

Jun 29 2007

If husbands started driving the minivans, we moms could have our Minis, convertibles and Smart Cars. Start embracing the pimped-out Man-Van concept, ladies. Now we can have our cars and drive them, too!
