Will the sub prime mortgage crisis affect car sales?
Friday, March 28th, 2008Having purchased two homes in my life (both of which I still own, even after trying to sell one for a year), I am naturally curious about how the sub prime mortgage crisis will end.
Undoubtedly, standard Fixed Rate Mortgages will be harder to qualify for, and that is probably A Good Thing.
The question I have […]

Happy New Year!
While I’m typically against new year’s resolutions, I’m making one here.
I will blog at least weekly.
There; that’s it. What’s yours?
Where are all the cool convertibles?
Thursday, March 30th, 2006So my wife has a good friend coming to visit for a week or so this summer and she casually mentioned to her “maybe Dorri can round us up a convertible”.
No problem.
Except that I can’t find any affordable and attractive convertibles.
Unless it’s a Miata.
I did a quick Autotrader.com search for convertibles in the $4500 to […]
Fire!
Friday, March 24th, 2006Warning: Not (really) automotive related.
I just got back from a week of firefighting training at Gaston College in North Carolina. The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) requires nuclear plants to maintain a fire brigade on-site, and my company fulfills this requirement by training its Nuclear Equipment Operators as fire brigade members.
I learned a lot […]
My thoughts on Bruce Crower’s six-stroke engine
Saturday, March 18th, 2006If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this first.
Briefly,
Four Stroke:
Piston moves down, drawing air and fuel into cylinder
Piston moves up, compressing air and fuel
Spark plug fires, causing mixture to explode, pushing piston down
Piston moves up, expelling exhaust gasses.
Cycle repeats
Six Stroke:
Piston moves down, drawing air and fuel into cylinder
Piston moves up, compressing air and […]
More GM woes
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006I know that talk of GM’s financial situation has been all over the internet recently, but I tend to dismiss the vast majority of what I read online.
There are very few bloggers that I feel know enough about large-scale finance to really have any idea just what GM’s financial situation really is.
Joe Sherlock is one. […]
One for the road
Monday, March 6th, 2006I never really bought into Taurine, Ginsing, and the like, but I still partake of various energy drinks during road trips. I think the caffeine and sugar gives me all the pick-me-up that I need. Red Bull, Full Throttle, Sobe Liz Blizz, I haven’t found any that I don’t like.
While I was driving […]
Another off-the-wall idea
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006I’ve been fascinated with airplanes as long as I can remember, yet I’ve flown surprisingly few times. Once in a Cessna 152 for an introductory pilot training lesson and a handful of times in commercial jets (mostly flying for job interviews when I was getting out of the Navy).
So here’s the idea. Airplanes […]
I threw a car away this weekend
Friday, February 17th, 2006A Corvette even.
Not gave away or hauled off to the junkyard, but threw away.
Executive Car Service provides corporate Dallas limo service and luxury DFW International airport transportation throughout the Dallas Metropolitan area.
Some background:A friend of mine wrecked his 1985 Corvette in 1988 and it’s been sitting at his sister’s house ever since. She wanted […]
