Evan Writes Cars
I love cars, I love to read, and I love writing. So now I drive cars and then I write about them. Sometimes it’s on the road, but it could be on the track, in the dirt, or chasing cones in a parking lot. Reviews, insights, experiences and stories. I’m always up on the latest in automotive news and innovations, and I could tell you what car to buy, but let’s face it, you’ve already decided.

A Little Bit About Me
I grew up in New Brunswick but came to Halifax about almost 20 years ago. I got my license the first day I could, and I learned to drive in a blizzard. I’m a mechanical engineering technologist by education but am pursuing my dream to be an automotive journalist. I know cars, I know technology, I know how the two work together. I like to create, fix and do things with my hands, and I am always trying to figure out how things work. I spend my days reading, writing, driving, working on my cars, racing my cars, and competing in time speed distance rallies with my navigator-for-life.
I’ve written for autoTRADER.ca, autoguide.com, exhausted.ca, hybridcars.com, wheelwell.com, and more, and I’d love to work with you.

Can an EV Autocross?
It’s 8 a.m. and I’m standing in a parking lot looking at a sea of cones and listening to a lecture about the rules for the day. It sounds like the start of a typical autocross day. Only this time, I’m not in my usual autocross car. I’m looking at something a little...
How Minivans are Born at Chrysler’s Windsor Assembly Plant
Ten million minivans. That’s 70 million seats, 150 million cup holders, approximately 800 million spilt Cheerios, and billions of trips to hockey practice. That’s what has rolled out of the Windsor Assembly Plant in the last 30 years. They’ve had badges from Chrysler,...
Your Guide to Buying Tires

First Drive: 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In
The 2018 Honda Clarity is the brand’s latest purpose-built hybrid. It follows in the path of the two generations of Insight, but unlike the two Insights, this one has its sights set a little more in the mainstream. This one wants to be your family car, not your...
Driven: 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
In more than 30 years of working and playing in, around, and under cars, I can only remember two door slams that I thought were worth a mention. The first is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the second is the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. If you’ve ever been so fortunate as...
Driven: 2017 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
There are three branches on the high performance Volkswagen tree these days. In North America, at least. There’s the top branch Golf R, and right below that is the Golf GTI. The bottom branch is the Jetta GLI. But I’m here to tell you that the lowest branch, and the...
