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. 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.

James Douglas Muir Leno was born April 28, 1950, in New Rochelle, New York. His Italian father Angelo sold insurance and his Scottish mother Cathryn was a housewife. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1959-chevrolet-fleetside-pickup.htm&rct=j&q=&esrc=s 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. But, yes, you do have to shell out some cash to be part of this whole event. There are several packages available. One would be the dinner and dance package which would cost you $60. With this one, you get to join those others with the same package have dinner at 7:30 p.m. at the museum's Willennar Hall. You would be able to enjoy dancing, dinner, the cash bar, and a champagne toast come midnight. There were three major car manufacturers. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Each manufacture had a following. Arguments could erupt over which car was the best. A man's Dodge pickup was a source of pride. Sunday morning the family would dress in their best clothes and get into a Buick for the trip to church. The Cadillac represented power and money while the Ford and Chevrolet represented the working people. People that lived in the country had a buy kia truck. It was a working truck and on Saturday's the kids jumped in the back for a trip to town. 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. Ford is a trusted name across the globe. F-series from Ford have been really popular. These are pick-up trucks and are used for both driving on rough lands or soft city roads. Out of the many, F 150 has been extremely accepted. It has been around for years now and is still ruling the markets. These F 150s can be protected and styled with the help of a variety of accessories such as brush guards, headlights, fog lights, spoilers, etc. These accessories not only improve the look of the car but are also functional. 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.
