in the San Antonio, Texas plant previously dedicated to the Tundra. The move is scheduled to add @ 1,000 new employees. This move will put the plant at full capacity for the first time since it opened in '06. Good news for Texans.

Well, I didn't actually cry, but I did move pretty fast as I watched my 32 oz. spray bottle of Spray & Wipe fall off my stool and begin rolling down the driveway and with each turn unscrewing the sprayer :eek: Ended up "washing" the driveway with about 6-8 oz. of S&W :( We have had 13 (or is...

No not even Honda. And it appears that they are on their third try at resolving the issue. Honda recalls vehicles over ignition switch - Business - Autos - msnbc.com Perfection eludes all of the mere mortals. :)

Monday. Not really big news. But wait. The new design will not be unveiled at a auto show, but rather online (if I have the info correct it will be via Facebook). I believe this is an industry first. Will this be the format of the future? Maybe not as the sole showcase venue, but certainly...

Nah, at least not yet, but they (MINI) have thrown down the gauntlet and challenged Porsche to a heads up race. Very interesting marketing campaign anyway. The video is very entertaining. Mini Challenges Porsche To A Race, Porsche Considering It

Dead at age 97. WHO??? (I know you're asking) Mr. Harrison was the last living survivor from the group of Allied prisoners who executed a plan to escape from Stalag Luft III during WWII. (Again, you ask what? where? who?) This was the real life German prison camp escape events which were...

An American favorite food? Yes? No? Just heard on the local newscast that the iconic west coast hamburger haven, In-N-Out burger will build their first Texas outpost right here in NE Texas. Excited? Yes, I am. I have long heard the complaints of transplanted Californians bemoaning their...

Received our copy today. Quickly glanced through the questions. One struck me as rather odd. Question 7 asks for your Age on April 1, 2010. Not odd you say. If it stopped there, no it would not be. But then goes on to ask for your Date of Birth - Month Day and Birth Year. Are they stupid...

Are they on the rise in your area? Back last Fall, Meguiar's Gold Class soap was routinely priced at @ $6-$7/ 64 oz. at the local WM with good stock. Now there is no stock and those spots seem to be filled with the new Ultimate Wash & Wax. This is priced at $8.97/48 oz. bottle with a $5...

from a car show which is right up the road from me and I had never heard of it. Looks to be a pretty nice mix of exotics, classic imports. American muscle, along with some hodge podge. Anyway saw several videos, but though GH might find a couple of these of interest. Any eye (ear) catchers...

to Cleveland and their Number 1 engine plant. from AutoBlog.com - February 27, 2010 and more good news delivered March 1, 2010 True enough, maybe not a lot of direct jobs for Ford employees but in the larger picture that kind of investment has to be good news for an industry that must be...

Stats: 2 seater mid-mounted 3.4L V8 racing engine developing 500 hp - RWD 0-60mph - 3.2 seconds That is the 918 Spyder Oh yeah and did I mention they claim fuel economy of up to 78 mpg? And it produces 19 grams less carbon dioxide than a Toyota Prius? You also have the option to add an...

Gee JP, time sure flies. How did you pass me in birthdays? :hmmm: :D I guess I should use a bit of care in the future when I abbreviate your name, eh? ;)

:D Who is tuned into the pre-game festivities and who is going to be watching the game? I've been tuned to the pre-game since @ 11am CST and plan on watching with a smallish group of a dozen or so folks over at a friend's house. I know I might be disappointed in the quality of the game, but...

It is darned cold down here (15o F this a.m.) and has been for a little stretch now. So of course the heater is runnin and running and...well, you get the idea. And so, the humidity level in the house has dropped about as fast as the outside temps. I think it was about 20% or so this a.m...

and the Alabama football team. They are this year's National Champs!

Do you have any? What are they? Down here it is fairly basic. Black-eyed peas for good luck. Dined on this savory dish last night and will have another serving today. Mrs. Clean prepared three 1lb. bags. Prepared in the slow cooker with smoked bacon and ham hocks. Mmmmm...darned good...

Well it is snowing pretty good up in the Texas panhandle right now according to the Abilene Texas Highway Patrol, and we have predictions of "blizzard like" :eek: conditions starting mid-morning here in the D/FW metroplex area. Not looking for accumulations (it's only expected to be in the low...
