Armed with a year of experience working
with the Honda Civic Si and a veteran team of drivers, RSR Motorsports
hopes to start the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge season
by doing something they have never done before: win at Daytona.
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.
According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was
$8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in
1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease
was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was
discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break
throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of
the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and
being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00.

Considering cost of
living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home
could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970
to $0.15 in 1979. I asked my mother if she could recall some prices of
the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy
bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and
in the late seventies prices started to rise. She remembered cigarettes
costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods
$0.10. Skip:
"See? That is all you needed." Skip has small glasses on, like Ben
Franklin, as he speaks he looks over the top of his glasses at Amery. He
notices Amery is more settled, and therefore, allows himself to lean
back more into his seat.
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 paint 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 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. 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. The
abovementioned are only a few of the things that you can do to save on
fuel consumption. Planning your trips and avoiding unnecessary travels
can also help you prevent yourself from going to the gasoline station
more often and thus save your money for something more
worthwhile.
