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.
Andy knows that it will be
a hard trick to fool everyone. His friend Johnny Mosley, will be helping
as he pretends to be hosting a reality show. Posing as David, a computer
programmer, Andy will be working with Johnny and the employees to see if
he deserves to win a job.
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.

Hannah's was just a hole-in-the-wall, long and
narrow with a bar running almost the whole length of the building. The
brick on the face of the building, and the white wooden door outside,
were nearly black from years of soot from the coke plant and steel
mills. Patrons tended to be older folks who spent what was left of their
paychecks on booze, Polish sausages, hard-boiled eggs, and illegal tip
boards. Li-Li led me into a corridor leading to an office in the back of
the building. There she introduced me to Mr. Nguyen van Duong who wasted
no time in getting to his questions. Duong was an ugly man, small and
fat at the same time. His hair was thin for a guy in his 40s, and he
used a pomade to plaster it to this head. The skin on his face had an
oily sheen to it. His lips were fat and reminded me of raw liver.
So
you're thinking of trading in that gas guzzler collecting rust in the
driveway. According to the official "Cash for Clunkers" website, your
1979
buy truck
wash won't make the cut-even if you swear it's
the biggest piece of "clunk" on the block. The official rules state
vehicles must be less than 25 years old. As for the embarrassing
junk-mobile you just inherited from your crazy uncle-trade in vehicles
must be registered and insured continuously for the full year before you
participate. Jumping off the back of the
deuce-and-half truck, brushing through the crowd of peanut girls, I
headed to the bar. It was a beautiful day with sunlight dappling the
shaded roadway. You can do the checking of the wheels and the tires
yourself. However, one auto group, the Car Care Council, do extremely
suggest that it would be best to leave the checking of the other
mentioned parts to experts. Make sure you have professional technicians
or car mechanics take a good look at the steering, alignment, and
suspension of your vehicle. That pothole may have given you and your car
problems that you never thought possible. Visit the NTX web site to learn of classic auto shows and
swap meets that are held periodically in the parking lot. Reservations
are now being taken for the first annual New Year's Eve party to happen
December 31, 2009.
