Getting divorced but staying together is getting more and more popular these days. I know. I couldn't figure out why anyone would do that either. That was until I found myself in that very situation with my wife. Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own family.

Not only were the fads up in the air in the seventies, so were the headline news. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was passed allowing a U.S. citizen to be able to vote at age 18. In 1974, President Nixon resigned from office as the Watergate scandal unfolds. In 1975, President Ford announces war in Vietnam was finished as far as the U.S. was concerned. And Space became the "New Frontier". In 1972, Pioneer 10 lifted off to journey past Jupiter. In 1973, Skylab was launched by NASA. And in 1976, the Viking I landed on Mars. Boy, times were changing fast, just as Bob Dylan had predicted. http://www.wikihow.com/Diagnose-a-Loss-of-Spark-in-Your-Car-Engine Tom Dyer is returning to RSR Motorsports, as well, and he will be co-driving with Andrew Novich in the No. 196 Honda. As the sole newcomer to the team, Novich is looking forward to benefitting from the knowledge of his teammates. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car. To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of sick. Linda moved to Florida and got a job as a, school teacher, here in the area. She wanted to buy a house so that the kids could have a home. Lo and behold! She gets a notice that Ford Motor Credit is suing her for the deficiency balance on the buy truck at auction that they repossessed from Outdoor Bob. The deficiency was over $5,500.00 Even though the Judge instructed Bob to make the payments, he didn't. The judge never thought to check with Ford Motor Credit to see if they would accept Outdoor Bob as the new guarantor on the loan. They of course wouldn't have done it anyway. After all, Bob's credit was terrible. So far all that is being offered are the trimmings, what about where it really counts? GMC's upgrades have been focused on the chassis and powertrain. It's not as strong as the Ford F-Series with their Super Duty, but the Sierra Denali has a 20,000 -pound maximum towing capacity with a fifth wheel trailer like the Chevy Silverado HD. Its diesel engine is the star of the show. GMC has made substantial upgrades with their oiling system that saw an 11% increase in highway fuel economy and a range of 680 miles thanks in part to its 36 gallon fuel tank. This is certainly what many will want to hear with regards to saving gas. Luxury is nice, but economy is even better regarding fuel prices. My husband's best friend Jake is the lead contractor for a large construction company on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan. Last year his firm was granted permission to build a brand new home Extreme Makeover Home Edition in Armada, Michigan. 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.
