Insurance Hunter: Vehicle Spring Cleaning

This post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's that time of the year again, time for some spring cleaning. People tends to forget vehicle spring cleaning which is just as important as cleaning your home. You spend about just as much time in you car than in your home. I tend to have a lot of miscellaneous items in my car trunk and by the time spring has arrive, it all needs to be cleaned out.

Here are some great tips from Insurance Hunter for vehicle spring cleaning.

1. Spring maintenance: It is always a good idea to take your car in for spring maintenance to ensure everything is in good shape after a cold winter.
2. Remove the winter floor mats: Time to get rid of those bulky rubber floor mats and put in your normal mats.
3. Replace your winter kit for a summer survival kit: A change in season calls for a new survival kit for your car. Replace your winter gloves and shovel for some sun screen and sunglasses.
4. Get rid of the lingering things in your trunk: People tend to let things build up in their trunk over the winter. The spring is a great time to clean everything out and start fresh.
5. Clean the interior of your car: With all the road salt and dirt that has built up over the winter, now is the time to get rid of it by cleaning the interior of your car and vacuuming your carpets to freshen things up.

Can't afford to take the bus

"It might be cheaper to drive then to take the bus."

That was the first thought I had boarding the bus this morning. With the Transit price getting more expensive every year, I might soon not be able to afford to ride the bus. It cost me $8 for a 2 zone round trip. $8! That is expensive! I can still remember the good old days when it only cost me $1.75 to ride the bus. Now it cost me $4 just to get somewhere. Wasn't taking the bus suppose to be the "affordable" to get anywhere? With each Transit increase every year I won't be able to ride the buses any longer. The minimal wage in BC is $10.25, that would mean that you basically would have to work 1 hour just to be able to get to work. At prices like this who can really afford to take the bus? I own a car and if I had put the $8 towards gas it would have been cheaper for me to get somewhere. That is pretty ridiculous when I think that owning a car might be cheaper then taking the bus. The increase in price was so little every year (10%), that I really didn't notice. I really didn't know how much I was really spending on bus fare until I really think about it (I use to ride the bus daily to work). I really can't believe how much it cost to take the bus nowadays. $8!
