The North American
International Auto Show is a site to be seen around the country, but in
the Detroit area it is a chance for the millions of local auto workers
that live here to see what they may be producing and take pride in their
company's name. Every year in January, the Cobo Center hosts the Detroit
version of the Auto show and every year well over a half million people
make the trip to the venue to take in the glory. This is a show for
everyone, even the little ones. This years event took place from January
19 thru January 27th. It was a week of beauty, style, and concept. If
you are a people watcher there is something here for you. If you are a
car aficionado this is your dream, and if you are just looking for your
next vehicle this is the place to start.
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.
If you are one of those
hard-working people who like to drive in style in their trucks, then
here is one just for you. Previously the GMC Sierra Denali was only
available as a luxury light duty pick-up. That has now changed with the
Heavy Duty line slated for 2011. It features a four-bar chrome
perforated grille and ride on an all new chassis. There will be chrome
accents on the doors and door handles. Inside will have a Bose audio
system, power-adjustable pedals, 12-way power seats and brushed aluminum
trim. This is the first time the luxurious Denali trim will be offered
on one of GMC's toughest trucks.

Technology has solved the time problem. From your home you can
find a dealer, a car, fill out the paper work and haggle over the price.
All you have to do is punch a few keys on your computer. The dark
figure standing, staring by the street, is noticed by the two men in the
front seat of the truck, they stare but keep going, --trees blowing to
his right and left, the waves of the Great Lake of Superior, makes a
humming sound, and everything else, as if you were in the middle of a
hurricane, the stranger stands erect yet, never moving. He sees the eyes
of the passenger in the Ford-truck, a small figure, a man of about
forty, the driver calls him Skip, and he hears that. The taller man at
the wheel, his arms are solid, and frozen to the wheel, is called Amery,
for some reason you know he knows that.
Extreme accessory number one - Skyjacker extreme lift kits
for your
buy truck at auction. To install a Skyjacker lift kit one
must understand that much more is involved then the kit. First we must
decide how high we want to go. Once this is decided our next task is
deciding on wheels and tires. Simply put stock wheels and tires will not
work. The Skyjacker Complete Lift Kits will push ground clearance and
aggressive looks of your truck to new heights, letting you conquer on or
off-road obstacles with complete confidence. As Skyjacker says the sky
is the limit when it comes to how much lift you want to put into your
truck. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. The
West Palm Beach Motorsports Examiner will be on hand for the event, and
will provide insight into the longest day in professional auto racing;
the Rolex 24! So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
