THE RIVIAN R1T IN KENYA

Image
Breezy Engines By Bruno Gitau The Rivian R1T is the first electric truck built for whatever you can call a road, it is simply a go-anywhere truck, meaning you can easily go on your adventures with this electric truck. It is the first electric truck to actually make it to production. People ask if this truck is a Ford product but it Amazon owns about 17.7% of Rivian while Ford owns about 11.4%.  see more                                                The 2022 Rivian R1T (photo: internet) It is an all-electric, battery-powered,  light-duty pickup truck. When it comes down to its design, it is a futuristic-looking all-electric pickup truck that boasts four electric motors and lightning-quick acceleration as it can easily blast up to 100km/h or 60mph in 3.3 seconds,  which is completely insane and this also makes it the fastest pick up truck ever. The R1T al...

IS BUYING A CAR A HEALTHY FINANCIAL DECISION

Image
 Breezy Engines By Bruno Gitau Yes and No!! Most people especially the financial experts tend to sing day in and day out that cars are the worst financial decisions anyone could make, which yeah, it's true but not entirely. The reason why I partly disagree with the financial experts is that owning a car is entirely a unique journey, completely different from calling an uber when you need to hop from one place to another. Buying a new car straight from the showroom is where I could agree since it's a fact that a car losses 30% of its value once it's off the showroom, so if you thereby want to see yourself in line with the financial experts but still want to purchase a relatively new car, you can simply get a car with low mileage, won't that be a good financial decision?  see more                                                         calcu...

RELIABILITY VS LIABILITY

Image
 Breezy Engines  By Bruno Gitau  Talking about reliability is when your car or vehicle serves you, it's master in the way you expect it to and this is only bound to happen when you take care of your vehicle in return and love it too. How do you take care of your car? You do this by treating it like a baby, service it on time,  making sure it is well-fueled with the best or premium fuel available,  making sure the oils you use for your engine are of the best quality, and finally last but not the least don't thrash it.  see more Doing all these ensures that your vehicle doesn't break down often and by this, it has a longer life span therefore it serves you right. A car being reliable means it can perform any sort of duty that fits its catalog amply.                                                             An...

DO PEOPLE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A ''V8''

Image
 Breezy Engines By Bruno Gitau It has come to my attention that most people out here really don't know what is meant by V8, actually, when most people hear the word V8 especially here in Kenya they automatically know that the person is definitely talking about the Toyota Landcruiser especially the 200 series and this statement will follow ''like the one our President is chauffered in.'' This is a really misplaced notion, to begin with, because a V8 simply put let me begin by mentioning that we have a V4, V6, V8, and the V10 and V12 as the top of the range engines.  see more                                                            A V8 engine in a car (photo: internet) The V6 simply put is a 6-cylinder engine whereas the V8 means an 8-cylinder engine. The V in V6 and V8 represents how the cylinders are arranged in your engine, V...

 Breezy Engines By Bruno Gitau When the time has come for you to buy your first car, you have to think deeply and a lot, you have to seek advice from petrol heads, do your research and what not which is really necessary but at the end of the end you have the final say as the buyer. But here today I have come to give you a review of a car that I think should be among the cars you shortlist as your first cars and it is the Volkswagen Golf, I am specifically talking about the 7th generation VW Golf.  see more                                                    The 7th gen VW Golf (photo: internet) The Golf sure does make a good first car, the VW Golf has a 1.8L Turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp and 199 lb.-ft of torque and uses regular gas no exemption for a premium or whatnot. The Golf has independent suspension and a good platform for above-average h...

 Breezy sneaker( know your sneaker) By Bruno Gitau This to me is one of the best sneakers of time immemorial, wouldn't be wrong if anyone said it was the breakthrough in the sneaker industry. Here today I am talking about the plain white Air Force 1, it's a classic must-have pair, it's classical yet modern. Its resurgence into the market has redeemed its popularity over time. Their versatility, easiness to style, and color make it a must-have pair, you need to rock this clean comfortable, and outstanding pair of white Air Force 1's.                                                         The plain white AF1 (photo: internet) This sneaker was created in 1982 by Bruce Kilgore for Nike Basketball footwear not only on the court but also in popular culture, now more than 30years since its introduction, the AirForce 1 has returned to its design roots...

HOW TO SAVE FUEL ESPECIALLY ON THIS HARD ECONOMY

Image
 Breezy Engines. By Bruno Gitau During these hard and tough economic times, the issue of fuel inadequacy, what could save most motorists out here is saving on their car's fuel consumption. Some of the cars out here with big engines under the hood, the V8s and the V6s too are naturally poor on fuel consumption in terms of miles per gallon. see more  However, there are a few tricks that all motorists no matter the size of the engine under the hood can be employed to save on fuel and hence save that extra coin that was to be used on buying fuel.                                                      Fuel gauge (photo: internet) Some of these tricks all start from how you drive, the first step is to keep your revolutions per minute(RPMs) consistent by using your acceleration pedal effectively, don't floor the gas pedal but do it slowly and smoothly, ...
