Ladies and gentlemen, it brings me great pleasure to announce: I have
taken over this joint. Word to your mother and all that jazz. My job is to bring UrbanMoms Auto Reviews to a whole new level. 2.0 if you will. Don’t get me wrong, my predecessors did a bang up job (haha get it? Cars? Bang up? Car humour is awesome. You wait, I have more of those), but I’m going to (try) and take it up a notch, raise the bar a little. More cars, more news and more fun reviews – with snark.
So to begin: my name is Samantha and I like cars. Not your practical,
soccer mom-driving mini
vans, but fast cars. Sporty, head-turning, egomaniac muscle cars, but
two small children and a dog, that means lots of baggage and more practicality
than sporty. I can live with that. Practical works, and sometimes can be
– wait for it… fun! Except for the mini van. It’s not so fun, but I challenge you to prove me wrong!
My approach is to give you completely honest reviews. Everything but the backseat driver. Okay, so there will be a little backseat driver; two of them actually. My 5-year-old and 2-year-old are very opinionated and, like most kids, have something to say about everything whether their filters are working or not. Kids are fun, aren’t they?
I don’t know much about torque, towing capacity, or what the litre size of an engine means (okay I know the last one, I looked it up) but I know what I like, what works, what moves and what gets noticed. But I want to hear from you. What do YOU want to hear about the latest cars, vans, trucks, SUVs and crossovers? (Yes, I said vans. I’ll take one for the team, that’s my job!)
And my last challenge? (I know, it’s worse than doing your kids’ homework, but bear with me) This space needs a name. A bright, flashy, fun, and quirky name for this space. Share your ideas in the comments and the winner will receive my love and adoration forever.

I say Sam’s Mean Machines. That’s my input.
And all I really want to know is how to get a great car for free. That, and maybe some stuff on whether or not Crossovers and SUVs are really gas guzzling ozone killers. Cause I want me a Venza!

Definitely second car-type vehicles. We’re actually in the market for one now, so I’m definitely keen! 🙂

Kath, I too want to know more about Hybrids… there are more and more models coming out. It would be great to feature a few for sure!
I’m kinda leaning towards MotoMom, MotorMom… makes me think of the heavy metal band Motorhead – which is also kinda awesome. Ha!
samantha f. says
Oh, honey You already do.. and MotoMouth? Goes along with what my teachers had been saying about me all through school: the girl doesn’t shut up. Ha!
Jen says
I like MotorMouth or MotorMouthMom or something. I would love to read something on great 2nd cars. Maybe some cool, smaller, urban style vehicles?
Kath says
Hmmm…hard to beat Motor Mouth. What about “Motoring Mama”?
And for the record, I want to read a hybrid review 🙂
Jennifer says
Oh I want your love and adoration forever!!!! How about MotoMouth?
