The most comfortable Ford Truck or SUV on the market today is the King Ranch. As far as trucks go, the King Ranch isn't particularly construction site worthy, due to the leather interior which is very easy to scratch. Even day-to-day use can leave the interior of your King Ranch F150 looking shabby and old. Anyhow, I took the sergeant up on the deal he offered. After three months with the 101st in Dak To and Tuy Hoa, I was sent on a temporary duty assignment (TDY) near the DMZ to learn field station operations from the 8th Radio Research Unit at Trai Bac Station in Phu Bai. From there it was off to Pleiku where we worked first in support of the 25th Infantry Division and later the newly arrived 4th Infantry Division.

To give you an idea of the depth of the collection, on display is a 1926 Rolls-Royce. Wilbert Grinsven, the curator tells me that there were only two years that Rolls-Royce manufactured cars in the United States. Those years were 1926 and 1927. This car is one of the few Rolls Royce's made here during that time. The auto manufacturer decided that it was not economically feasible to continue manufacturing autos in the US and closed its factory here in the states after only 2 years. Another example of a beautiful old car is a car used in the movie "Driving Miss Daisy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Equinox Slowly they drive a little further up the road, find an area along the road side, they can turn around the truck; --cliffs being on one side and an embankment on the other that lead down to the lake itself. As they make their turn, they straighten out the wheel, press hard on the gas and get the hell going to the strangers house. 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. I had just started on another beer when someone dropped a few coins in the juke box. The music was bad country. To my utter disgust the first song that played was that "I want to stick a boot up your butt" super-patriotic, ultra-jingoist thing by the guy in the buy truck parts commercials. The people around me began to sing along loudly. The homes are built with quality construction materials. FALSE. For the most part they are. Except Jake did say to me in the case of the Armada home, due to time constraints. they ran out of the treated lumber they used to build the house, so the blue wood that is shown on TV as being used for mold prevention in a small area of the home is actually regular wood spray painted blue. In the local automotive arena, decline in gas prices seem to benefit GM most. The automaker's truck sales surged by 32.9 percent. DaimlerChrysler truck sales were up by 11.1 percent. Jeep and Dodge received most of the gains. Jeep auto parts are proving what they are worth in Liberty and Commando. Consequently, Dodge truck parts are still preferred by many truck enthusiasts. 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.
