The traffic today was horrible on my way home tonight I saw five accidents just in the twenty two miles that I traveled. Out of the five wrecks that I saw, four of them included red cars. I have written before about the link between bad drivers and red cars, I feel that as soon as you sit in a red car your IQ drops twenty-five points, add in using a cell phone and a wreck is sure to happen. Drive safely and do not buy red cars.

Not One Light But Two

On my truck I have two headlights on each side and last night at work not one headlight burned out but both on one side within ten minutes of each other. I have never had both lights on one side burn out within minutes of each other it was pretty amazing. My string of luck continues with my truck when one thing goes wrong enough things have to be wrong so the guys at the shop can charge me $800 that seems to be the magic total. Every time I have to take a vehicle to the shop it costs me $800. I guess they need that much to make a payment or something. The one exception was when I took the truck in for an oil change and an air filter and that cost me almost $100, I have not been back to Firestone and I never will go back there.
The Fixing of Credit

I got the most pathetic email from one of my nieces begging me to help her get her dream car financed for her. She is currently out of work, lives at home and has serious bad credit issues for someone of her young age. Her folks haven’t got the kind of money that is needed to help put a decent down payment on any type of car, much less this dream car that she has fixated her self on recently. Times are hard, people are losing the jobs, their 401k’s, their homes, not the best of times for looking for family members to help bail you out. We are all feeling the pinch, people are scared and rightfully so, with the economy in the toilet, with no end in sight.
I would rather come to her aid with a plea from her in assisting with “help me fix my credit” issues, that would be an easier request at this point. If she were to try and finance a decent vehicle in these times, I’m sure that she will be stuck with an extremely high interest rate, one that would set her up for failure from day one. She needs to buckle down and get a job and learn how to fix credit reports and earn her dream car the old fashioned way, with a little blood, sweat and tears, instead of dealing with best credit repair service issues at this point.
Cars with bumper stickers

Just read a report that cars that have bumper stickers are much more likely to be involved in road rage incidents. The larger the number of bumper stickers the higher the chance they will be involved. Factor in the color, red cars are much more likely to be involved, add the use of cell phones to the mix and you get road rage times ten. It is almost not safe to go out on the road anymore. Better to stay home and knit than venture out to work.
Ice Road Truckers

I have discovered a show that I love to watch, The Ice Road Truckers comes on the History Channel and I love it we caught the marathon for last years shows before the new season started and we are hooked. It is a great show with enough color to keep my interest for an hour. The characters are very feisty and rough it makes for a really fun show to watch, it is the only show that we set in stone to watch. I am going to order the first season and watch all of it again while I am watching the second season.
