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 place was peopled by extras from "Hells
Angels on Wheels" and every bad prison movie ever made. This woman kept
bumping into me. She was medium height, slender, had long brown hair and
three teeth. Her face looked a little like it had caught fire and some
caring person had tried to put it out with an ax. Every time we collided
I apologized nervously and she walked away. From behind she could have
been Miss America. I swear.
First, roll up all your windows. Make sure that they are closed
tightly. Shut all your doors as well. When you have done so, start by
cleaning and rinsing your car using a hose. Rule of the thumb is to
start from the roof, making your way down to your car's tires.

Last month, customers from the business and
government sector purchased a total of 1.2 million cars and trucks. 56.9
percent of said figure came from local automakers. That makes sales rise
by 55.4 percent from the previous year. As my eyeballs came back into focus, I watched him unfold the
same pocket knife and as he bent to retrieve another chile from the
plant, I prayed it wasn't for me. Realizing it wasn't I thanked the
great capsicum god in the Hatch volcano and considered crying.
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 or
car 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. The stories are always true that the families talk about
and portray on the show. FALSE. With the Armada show telecast, the
woman's husband did in fact die in the home from complications of black
mold. What was not 't shared with the television audience was that she
was an abused spouse and he was very abusive towards her right up until
his death. This information was not revealed until well into the
renovation process. No one, NO ONE is going to read a
three-page attorney biography. Though they may be proud of their
accomplishments, attorneys need to realize the importance of being clear
and succinct. Have the attorneys sit down with copies of their bio and
take the time to update and edit what's there. From cases to clubs and
organizations, limit the information and focus on what the attorney can
do for a new client, not what they have done for old ones. The situation might sound like a win-win but some
people say "Cash for Clunkers" is a speed bump, slowing customers who
might want a used car. Used car dealers at Naff Auto Sales told WSLS the
program could force people into buying a new car. Another possible
problem, Clunkers traded in with the program have to be destroyed,
meaning they won't end up for sale on a used car lot. Better for the
environment, bad for used car business. But many say it's a trade we
need to make. Many don't want to put the brakes on the program. In an
interview with WSLS, the president of Berglund Automotive said close to
40 people have taken advantage of the government program so far. They
say "Cash for Clunkers" is giving customers the kick they need to get a
new car.
