Best Technology for Road Trip Entertainment

Many of us remember growing up and seeing our peers get some cool items that we were jealous of. The school’s queen bee had the most stylish clothes, our best friend had the latest toys, and our cousin had season tickets to all the games of our favorite sports team.

Missy’s parents just got a new van that lets us watch movies! Can we get one too? I want to watch movies while on the road!” Read the rest of this entry >>

Now that we are parents, we rely on TV shows and movies to keep our kids quiet during the many hours out on the road. Read the rest of this entry >>

Where to Listen to the Toyota Untold Podcast

Podcasts have been around for a few years now and while they are still in their infancy, we think that it is safe to say that we are in the golden era of the podcast. It is easy to see why. Many of us have longer commutes than ever before, and desk jobs are the norm. Instead of trudging along with a boring and silent commute or work day, we turn to podcasts for additional entertainment and knowledge. Toyota is getting in on the action and recently started its own podcast named Toyota Untold! Read the rest of this entry >>
