It's time for me to start on my accelerated maintenance program on my vehicles, 

That would be me, Tim!

This is for my cars that don't need rebuilding or substantial repairs. This will apply to the '07 F150 and '07 Mustang. Also to the '96 Mustang, eventually.

There was a time in the 70's when it seemed like everybody wanted to be a long haul trucker. 

"Ten Four Good Buddy, I've got my ears on!" 

Most of us are not long haul truckers, we don't make our living spending the entire day in the driver's seat.

Short haul truckers, even bus drivers also put a lot of miles down everyday.

There are many people that have long commutes, fifty to seventy five miles each way, in heavy commute traffic.

I'm not referencing those types of drivers, I'm referring to the tourist, the vacation driving motorist. 

 Dear Diary; Today I took my XJ6 in for a smog test.

The Ford Mustang Mach E.
not really a Mustang.

Things are going to change whether we like it or not.

Can a traditional car enthusiast develop an emotional attachment to an electric car?
