If ever there was an unexpected
treasure hidden behind a plain exterior, this is it! Anyone who has
lived in Richardson, Texas as long as I have will remember the building
on Campbell and Nantucket as the original Sterlings catalog store. After
that, it was offices. Recessed off Campbell, is a nondescript building,
except for the fact that there are now huge letters on the front that
say Classic Cars, Banquet Rooms and NTX.
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.
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.

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. I listened to what Jake had to say and asked a few questions
of my own. I was totally shocked when I heard the dirt about what goes
on behind the scenes of the show. I picked Jakes' brain a bit with some
off the wall questions I have always had about the show and he threw in
some things I never would have had a clue took place on the set. I
thought I would make this fun and share some true or false questions
that lie behind all the media hype of ABC's number one family show.
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. 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. When driving at high speeds, make sure that your windows are
closed to avoid aerodynamic drag. At low speeds, you can put off the AC
system and open the windows instead to save fuel. Likewise, it is
important to check that all AC system parts especially the Ford AC
condenser is at perfect working condition. Remember: be
prepared, have an agenda and keep focused on the discussion at hand.
Involve everyone from partners to associates to staff and keep an open
mind to marketing ideas, plans and needs. But most of all... make it a
true priority to institute those strategies when the retreat
ends.
