Buying a car has changed over the years. No longer do you have to go from car lot to car lot to find that perfect car. No more spending your week-ends car shopping. Years ago car shopping was a big thing. Having a car wasn't as casual or as necessary as it is today. People in town walked or took the bus. The world has changed a lot. Most people don't know the names of all the cars on the market. Two cars in a family is common. People are busy and don't want to take the time to shop for that perfect car. Families with kids want SUV's. Everyone wants energy efficiency. Instead of asking how much horse power, people are asking how many miles per gallon.

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_S-10 It's no secret that Jay Leno beat out David Letterman when it was time for NBC to replace the retiring Johnny Carson in 1992. But, did you know since the six foot tall comedian started hosting "The Tonight Show" that he rarely takes a day off? One of his many cars can most always be seen parked in his reserved "#1" parking place at the NBC Studio in Burbank. And, on top of doing the show, Jay Leno still manages to perform more than 150 standup comedy gigs a year. 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. Once there, Teddie stashed his bike in the storage shed and they mounted the front steps of their new apartment together. She fumbled in her pocket for the key, her hands shaking, some part of her expecting to see the man in his big buy crane truck qld pull up at any minute. He doesn't even know you're gone, she thought, and finally found the key. If you've made it this far, you're a few steps away from $3,500 or $4,500 and a new, more environmentally-friendly car. No need to register-the official website explains all you need to do is head to a local car dealer. The national program runs off a $1 billion fund. Once the money runs out or we hit the month of November, you're on your own. When I came back it was just out of the guilt that I had. I pride myself on my professionalism, and this is the first issue I've ever had where I wasn't able to come to set ... The thing that cut deep to the core of me was knowing that there were 65 human beings who are like family to me, waiting for me to come back. They were sitting on their asses doing nothing because of my...you know, my situation. Teddie grew up, started his own family and moved away. The man died of some terrible disease, but Charlie lived on. Twenty years and several more trims later, he was still going strong. She sometimes sent Teddie photos of the plant, if only to remind him of that time in their lives. She always hoped he'd see in those pictures what she was really trying to say. She'd have to remember to mention it someday.
