I suspect that our personal case illustrates the need very clearly. We went for a short, three-week holiday that included a one-week cruise out of Tampa last spring, […]

Dear Bird Talk: ARE YOU INSURED WHILE IN FLORIDA FOR SIX MONTHS? You can imagine my surprise when I walked into the local Co-Operators office to pick up my pink slip for proof of insurance, as I was leaving for Florida before my actual renewal date. When I sat down in front of the agent, […]

We had somehow forgotten to submit an eye exam and in our absence, the second request – warning that if we don’t submit same, the licence will be revoked and the actual revocation sent […]

Gentlemen: It’s really a shame that fuel economy means so little to automobile manufacturers, when so many people are conscious of how much their own cars are giving in mpg. I personally think they should spend a little more time on economy instead of on 0-60 speeds, top speeds, power that is useless, and bulk […]

Dear Bird Talk: I read with great interest Ross Quigley’s editorial in your summer 2006 issue of CSANews. Could you possibly relay my comments to him, as well as a few queries I have about his car importing experience? I am also a bit of a car nut as well. Last fall I purchased a […]
