How I scored with Cash for Clunkers

Registration is coming up in August for my Ford Explorer. I need to replace my Missouri plates with Maryland plates. And I'm not sure if the SUV will pass or how much it will cost to make it pass.

But now with the Cash for Clunkers program out there, I've been forced into making a quick decision. … Continue

SpoCom 2009 show pics are up!!!

After dealing with server issues I was finally able to upload my SpoCom 2009 show pictures to my website without any errors. There are 2 large albums of pics.

It's official!! Saturn dead after 2009!!!

Just read this on Yahoo. http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/844/6-cars-on-death-row/ Saturn Sky: Has an American company built a head-turner quite like the Saturn Sky? It has more ergonomic quirks than an Ikea showroom, its soft top is a pain to fold, and you can't fit a pack of matches in its trunk...but no one even cares. Just one look, and your heart skips a beat. B… Continue
