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.
The world has changed a lot. Most people
don't know the names of all the cars on the market. Two cars in a family
is common. People are busy and don't want to take the time to shop for
that perfect car. Families with kids want SUV's. Everyone wants energy
efficiency. Instead of asking how much horse power, people are asking
how many miles per gallon.
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.

Of course, a little known fact about comedian Jay Leno is
that he has made NBC nearly one billion dollars richer since he took
over Johnny Carson's chair. He now takes a look about
the area, it is not the house, it is the top of tress by the lake; --the
shadows are forming the likes of a house. As he catches his breath, they
continue forward.
If your firm were a car what would it be? Strong and tough
like a
buy kenworth truck? Sleek and
fast like a Ferrari? Sophisticated and state-of-the-art like a Mercedes
S-Class? How about an ice cream flavor? A beverage? A movie genre? All
of these exercises not only make for a lively discussion, but work to
help define your firm personality. Once that emerges, look for ways to
incorporate it in your firm's daily business- from answering the phones
to your letterhead. Well,
since that was the only plan the three of us were able to come up with
that whole evening, I figured it was destiny. There really wasn't
anything else going on in my life so as dawn arrived we headed for the
Army recruiting office. There were, of course, some tests for me to
take. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. It's hard to do anything. It's hard to button your pants or brush
your teeth, let alone jump off a three-story building into a pad. This
movie was the most physical thing I've ever had to do, and I had to do
it with a broken hand. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my
life. Constantly having to take hits and fall and run through explosions
and get hit and beat up all day. Aside from my hand, I also got 25
stitches making this movie, in various parts of my body -- stuff that
had nothing to do with my hand.
