Buying a car has changed over the years. No longer do you have to go from car lot to car lot to find that perfect car. No more spending your week-ends car shopping. Years ago car shopping was a big thing. Having a car wasn't as casual or as necessary as it is today. People in town walked or took the bus. Hummer put together a very intriguing concept vehicle when it put out the HX. This SUV has a removable roof, can be transformed from a short bed pickup to a convertible and then back to the traditional square Hummer. This vehicle is geared for a younger crowd that wants versatility and I think they accomplished it. Saturn had a winner as well with its compact SUV, the Saturn Vue. This vehicle is a 2-mode hybrid and will be available later this year. It was a show stopper with its fuel economy and is pleasant to look at.

To give you an idea of the depth of the collection, on display is a 1926 Rolls-Royce. Wilbert Grinsven, the curator tells me that there were only two years that Rolls-Royce manufactured cars in the United States. Those years were 1926 and 1927. This car is one of the few Rolls Royce's made here during that time. The auto manufacturer decided that it was not economically feasible to continue manufacturing autos in the US and closed its factory here in the states after only 2 years. Another example of a beautiful old car is a car used in the movie "Driving Miss Daisy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napco_Four_Wheel_Drive_Vehicles Sales of Ford's Lobo pick-up truck are falling sharply with Mexican consumers because as it turns out, the truck is a favorite of cartel hit men and drug runners. Drivers are now afraid to drive the truck out of fear for being mistaken by cartel gunmen as a rival. I quickly came to a startling conclusion: people will sing along to anything. The content of the song doesn't matter. Politics simply don't enter into it. People are really singing along to the melody, or the bass line or something. What the words actually mean is immaterial. After a year at Ohio University and a summer working at a buy truck frame assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, I returned to my home in South Amherst and took a job with the Nordson Company as a tool & die maker's apprentice. The stories are always true that the families talk about and portray on the show. FALSE. With the Armada show telecast, the woman's husband did in fact die in the home from complications of black mold. What was not 't shared with the television audience was that she was an abused spouse and he was very abusive towards her right up until his death. This information was not revealed until well into the renovation process. It all came back to her then, how he'd lain sobbing in his room across from hers while the man raged in the livingroom, how she'd slipped into his twin bed with him and wrapped her arms around him until he was finally asleep, how she'd read chapters of "Charlotte's Web" to him each night, how he'd raced on his bike through the dark streets the night they'd finally made their escape. She'd let him in on it early on, told him all about her plan to find a new place where it would be just the two of them and how he wouldn't ever again have to lie awake at night afraid of what was going on in the livingroom or of what he'd see in the morning as he headed out for school. He'd told no one. It was their secret. The situation might sound like a win-win but some people say "Cash for Clunkers" is a speed bump, slowing customers who might want a used car. Used car dealers at Naff Auto Sales told WSLS the program could force people into buying a new car. Another possible problem, Clunkers traded in with the program have to be destroyed, meaning they won't end up for sale on a used car lot. Better for the environment, bad for used car business. But many say it's a trade we need to make. Many don't want to put the brakes on the program. In an interview with WSLS, the president of Berglund Automotive said close to 40 people have taken advantage of the government program so far. They say "Cash for Clunkers" is giving customers the kick they need to get a new car.
