The Future Is Now !

It's a great idea Chevrolet is putting the new MDS (multiple displacement system) on their truck's. Even a 20% increase in fuel economy around town is a step in the right direction. Hopefully every vehicle will have an on board generator, that charges batteries while using the motor. Then uses the batteries when their charged. Battery technology is improving leap's and bound's. Now all the car companies need to build (vehicle's of the future now), that only burn fossil fuel as a back up.

Ford had a F 350 dually on hand for the guy that need's to haul. It look's tough and powerful with a large inter cooler feeding a hungry turbo diesel. This truck had the King Ranch package featuring durable looking raw hide interior and on board SYNC computer system. Tough to beat !

Every one wants a piece of the sports car market, and that means better deals and more selection. If you are in the market for a fast car, but don't want to spend 6 figures doing it. You might want to check out all the different auto makers first.

I put together an assortment of cars you might find interesting. These cars were chosen for their, styling, power, color and interior. Beautiful model Shandy Lynn liked the 2009 Nissan GT-R, and I don't blame her. It has Euro styling, plenty of power coming from a twin turbo 500 hp motor. With a MSRP of $ 80,000 I think you will be seeing them around quite often. Other's include ; Mitsubishi Eclipse, Nissan 350 Z, Cadillac XLR, Corvette, Mustang Saleen, Viper V10. Finishing off with all new Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro.

It's alway's interesting in conf. room D. Whether it's after market goodies your looking for your own car. Or the kid's want to try their hand at driving RC car's on the oval. It's also interesting checking out Joey's (Joey's Place) new creation's every spring. Finishing off with the luxury sports car's such as Aston Martin, Ferrari and Lamborgini.

There was alot of construction going on at the time. But other than a little inconvience and no outdoor display's, everything went really smooth.
