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.
Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded
the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive
thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure
time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the
workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own
family.
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.

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. See
RSR Motorsports aim for their first Daytona victory on Friday, Jan. 25.
The 2.5-hour race will kick off the GRAND-AM season, with the green flag
scheduled to wave at 1:45 p.m. EST.
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 and trailer 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. It is important to note that when it comes to the
systems that keep you safe, the steering and the suspension are top
parts that you need to consider. These two work together so that you get
a fine handling and real good ride for your vehicle. The parts that make
up these systems include the shock absorbers, the steering knuckle,
steering rack, bearings, ball joints, and tie rod ends. If these get
damaged, you would most likely be losing control of your vehicle. You
also be most likely experiencing a little sway when you take those
simple turns that did not bother you much before. 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. So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
