Simple math: Michigan plus the American car industry usually doesn't add up to a net gain in jobs. With plant closings, cut backs, lay offs, and related language suggesting job loss, any sort of addition to the fast draining job pool should warm the heart especially in the state of Michigan which has seen its share of bad times lately.

Saturday, February 7th, 2009 | Automotive |
I love this time of year! The seasonal music, the lights, manger scenes, and the silly ads on television.

Friday, February 6th, 2009 | Automotive |

If you are hitting the road during the peak winter months, you can run into fuel issue in an RV. Obviously, this assumes you are in an area that gets cold, not Arizona.
