My story started in the spring of 2013 when I began putting on weight at an alarming rate. In a few weeks, I had gained more than 25 pounds. My stomach had ballooned to the size of a watermelon.

Safety Tip: Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confident driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or family member who is a confident driver, or take a taxi.

On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement.
I recall watching the TV show Route 66 in Local communities have funded the restoration of many old the 1960s but today tens of thousands are service stations and many have a classic car parked on the drawn each year to the highway by the forecourt. I thought we would have the first crash of the 2006 animated movie Cars. The movie trip when the first Rogue Altima, or maybe Altimate Rogue action takes place on the route, many of (referring to the drivers, of course), screeched to a halt at the fictitious locations are based on actual the curb in Galena, Kansas. There at the front of the service places, and real people inspired some of the station was the ‘real’ Tow Tater truck, on which the Cars’ characters. character Tow Mater was based.

This week’s ICBC tip recommends that people who feel nervous driving in poor winter conditions should take the bus or call a cab. How bad would it have to be for you to park the car?
Riding the highway west along Route 66 for around 4,000 kilometres is on many people’s bucket lists. After completing the epic journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, I must say there were times during the 56 hours, 36 minutes of driving that I figured it might be the last item on my list! On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement. We all knew each other from new vehicle launches around the world, but this was different. This hardened, cynical bunch developed a greater camaraderie along the way and some even hugged as we gazed at the lapping waters of the Pacific. We climbed aboard the 2015 model Nissan Rogue crossovers and Altima sedans one very chilly Chicago Sunday and set out to retrace the route of this historic highway, which was decommissioned in 1985, and replaced by the I-40 freeway. Actually, routes – plural – would be more accurate as the road, which carried hundreds of thousands seeking prosperity out west, has followed a number of paths since the late 1920s. The Mother road, as it is known, carried us through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California. For most of us, it was an adventure musically inspired by many versions of the song “Get your kicks on Route 66�.
