If you are new to WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com you should know that most Fridays I run a post called “A Lap Of The Blogs” in which I link to some articles of interest I’ve read in the past week. I also include a weekly “racing video” because my former life was in the auto racing industry… Enjoy!
While I was in BC last weekend I got to hang out with Squawkfox and her other half who were crazy enough to drive about five hours to Vancouver from their place. She runs a great blog which won the Globe and Mail’s best of the blogs contest in the Personal Finance section. I recommend checking it out.

This Week’s Racing Video
I’m officially climaxing the entertainment value of the weekly video with this one – it’s all downhill after this one. This is brilliant. This is funny. This is the place I want to work. The guys from Top Gear challenge their team to launch a car into the sky (with full on rockets), eject the massive fuel tanks and rockets, and then control the car in for a landing so that it can be re-used. YOU. MUST. WATCH. THIS. VIDEO. Check this out. It’s 10 minutes – but more than worth it – dare I say, the best 10 minutes of your day. Enjoy!
My Grandfather drove a Reliant Robin, and I spent a nerve racking few days driving around in one (think of me in something that small). Thanks for the white knuckle flashbacks!
Love those FinanceAd.ca ads. Must confess I did watch the Veet facial creme ad more than once.
Who needs to save up to be a millionaire: start a blog!
Thanks for the link, Preet. I’ll take the comparison to Tobey Maguire.
Lucky me!
Thanks for the mention Preet! Have a great weekend!
