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.
"Look here". He said.
"The first thing you need to learn is to never bite into a green chile.
When we test in the field, we never do that. Look here".
Sometimes it is (1) attorney, sometimes it is (2) attorneys and
sometimes it involves the Judge. In this particular case, here is poor
little "Linda" getting a divorce from "Outdoor Bob". Prior to their
marriage, Linda had perfect credit and Outdoor Bob, being a rascal, had
ziltch for credit. Linda was told by Mom and Dad, don't marry that bum.
Well, love prevailed and they got married. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Equinox
I should always watch what I say
because with the PC their could be a small child on here collecting
those hunting stories like I collected them from my grandfather.
Although the word bullshit was one of those sacred words as a kid you
used to say just out of ear shot of mom and dad. It had it's own
mystique about it altogether back then. 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.
But there
is certainly good news for those who just have no idea where to
celebrate the holidays. You see, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is
actually inviting everybody for a big event. The event is to actually
celebrate the arrival of the new year, 2007. Come the last day of this
year, 31st of December, there would be a celebration and an event which
the museum dubbed as "A Classic New Year's Eve". No, the museum is not
going to give away some of their cars or even some of the Custom
buy truck used parts at the very least. It is perhaps a way
of saying thank you to all those auto lovers and to all of the public
who has wholeheartedly supported the auto museum through the year. 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. I know that $20,900 is a goodly sum of money, but in 13 years we
more than doubled our money. And that is looking at just the financial
aspect of it. The many wonderful hours we had working on something
together that we both love, you can't even put a price tag on
that. The PC is
no longer the only way of accessing the Internet. We now have PDA's and
cellphones that can access the Internet, and send and receive e-mail. By
this time next year, as more people learn the use and benefit of these
devises; anything needed to maintain and restore these Classic Car
investments can be obtained while driving down the road.
