| Article Title :: Finding Vintage Cars - A New Technique |
| |
| While talking with a helicopter pilot a couple of months ago, I found out about a new way to look for those original car parts or even whole cars you might be looking for. This pilot worked for one of the local medical transport and rescue services. In that capacity, he flew over lots of remote areas. He told me about several of the things that he was keeping an eye on. But, he did not give me real good details of where things were that he wanted for himself.One of the things he described was a field full of old cars including Model T's and Model A's. He said it was not even close to a road, so you would not see it except from the air. He had a lot of other sweet cars spotted as we (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Helium Powered Car? |
| |
| Ever wonder what they will think of next? We are all about ready to go out and put our names on one of those lists to get a Hybrid Car due to the these fuel prices at the pump and then someone comes along and yells; “Wait, have you heard of Thermoacoustic Propulsion?” No, as a matter of fact most of us haven’t thank you very much as we hang up the gas pump and look at that total and cringe as we get our automated receipt from the Kiosk pump at the station. My gosh that hurts. That much just to put gas in my vehicle; “I hate OPEC,” you say and think to yourself the unthinkable; “Let’s just Nuke the Middle East and Take the G-Damn Oil!”Well it may in fact be a ways of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hindsight in Automotive Oil Changing |
| |
| It is fun to look back every so often and see if the industry analysts where correct or not. More often then not they are incorrect. Hindsight is always 20/20 as they say. The oil change industry is no exception either. In January of 2002 there were some pretty aggressive predictions made in the fast lube industry.This was right before a major player Penske Auto Services at all the local Kmarts, took a big hit with 500 Kmart stores closing. I also see a new trend with Wal*Mart lowering prices and killing business due to the cost issue. Everyone want a good deal and an oil change from Wal-Mart is just that at $12.95. According to the bureau of statistics there is a shortage of ove (read full article) |

| |
| Many businesses in many different industries were devastated after 9-11. Some we may not even be aware of. Let me talk about one of those industries. One you rarely think about but it is a huge business sector and serious to our nations economic health.The parking industry got hammered by the Sept. 11 acts due to all the airport ‘park and rides’ and airport short and long-term parking at our nations busiest airports. Then got hit again when the FAA made the 300-foot from fence rule at all airports; 100 yards is a long way and that covers a lot of prime real estate, generally it also includes a whole lot of parking area, which is rendered unusable now. Some lots lost half of th (read full article) |
