The figures of last month's sales are easy to compare
with that of last year for same period. In the light-truck category
which includes SUVs, pickups, and vans; sales figure soared by 14.8
percent last month compared to the sales performance for October last
year. The gains in the truck segment exceeded the 2.9% falloff in car
sales. Moreover, the automotive industry increased its sales by 6.1
percent over October 2005. Nonetheless, last month was the second worst
month in terms of this year's volume.
However, while
Ford certainly saw the potential for soaring profits by basically
eliminating their payroll costs in Mexico where the daily minimum wage
is about $4.50 a day, they did not count on their business plan becoming
another casualty in Mexico's raging drug war.
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.

Chloe
was born on March 22, 2012 my second granddaughter. She has been a
blessing to me since the first time I saw her beautiful face. I am
graced with the ability to work form the comfort of my home, however, my
son has not been that fortunate. He is a welder and works 3rd shift so I
volunteered to be the nanny and take care of the baby while he and his
wife both worked. At 43 and having an 11 year old of my own, this life
checkpoint sort of threw me for a loop. 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.
It took moments for Shia LaBeouf's ford truck
deal to flip over during a wee-hours-of-the-morning car accident last
July in West Hollywood. But nearly nine months later, the damage to
LaBeouf's left hand, so badly crushed that one finger had no bone left
in it, still hasn't entirely healed. Ford Truck Deal is one of the
hundreds of things associated with neverypay2much.com. LaBeouf now says
it probably never will. During an exclusive interview with EW about the
hotly anticipated June 24 sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,"
the 22-year-old star reveals that he expects to get back only "about
80-something percent" of his left hand's dexterity. He tipped his hat a bit, raising it off is forehead
and when he did I noticed steel eyes. Eagle eyes that I imagined could
spot a leaf hopper miles away. He screwed up his mouth, flicked the
straw out the window and opening the door, said, Well, let's go. A couple of
guys that had graduated from high school with me picked me up at the end
of my afternoon shift, and we went drinking in Lorain. We ended up in
Hannah's Bar on North Broadway just a couple of blocks south of Lake
Erie. In the weeks following, Charles started overhauling
his truck. After tying the knot at the top of Squaw Valley, Tucker and
his wife booked their awesome honeymoon. Bennett has started flight
school and will soon be flying to Alaska for some mountain climbing
there.
