Now that the LA show moved from January to early December, we all have a chance to promise that special person in our lives something special in the driveway. Although LA has become somewhat of a US Auto design center (regardless of Lincoln/Mercury's retreat a few years ago), we expect that Detroit in January will still be thefalseJim2006-11-23T20:58:00-05:002006-11-25T00:43:49Z2006-11-24T02:27:25Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29065351.post-116433524562850774Giving ThanksFolks,
Thanksgiving comes just once a year but I have to tell you that there is not a day that goes by that I don't feel grateful for the opportunity to do what I love for folks like you and to do it with people I love. At my family's Thanksgiving table we have a tradition in which we go around the table with each person indicating something for which they are thankful. We might go around two orfalseJim2006-11-16T20:25:00-05:002006-11-19T02:53:08Z2006-11-17T02:30:35Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29065351.post-116373063527557501Two Great New Channels!Gather round folks. WheelsTV has two new motorsports channels for you. If you've ever thought about trying your hand at competitive motorsports and if you've ever bent the speed laws just a bit, you'll appreciate the US Touring Car Championship. This is racing like it used to be. Real street machines and real people racing for the fun of it. No big crowds...no big purses. Just pure adrenalinefalseJim2006-11-10T10:30:00-05:002006-11-11T06:06:10Z2006-11-10T15:48:59Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29065351.post-116317373984263247We Didn't Get Fooled Again!
Well, an earth-shattering election just took place, the republic is saved and we motorists may finally get to the bottom of what goes on behind the big oil curtain. While the first step in restoring government of the people, by the people and FOR the people has been accomplished, it remains to be seen if the Halliburtons, Exxons and Enrons of the world will be brought to justice. As I drove tofalseJim2006-10-23T15:45:00-04:002006-10-23T20:27:03Z2006-10-23T19:57:08Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29065351.post-116163342880733803Gas Prices...Is Someone Yanking our Chains?
Like any SUV driver, I watch gas prices rise and I cringe. My big Tahoe is pretty good, comparatively, getting 17.2 mpg overall. I use it to carry TV equipment, to shoot video of vehicles that we test, to carry wood for my dock, (I live on a lake) and to go to the dump every Saturday with our dog, Koto, who, for some reason, loves to go to the dump. Back to gas prices. Is it me or has anyonefalseJim2006-10-09T11:44:00-04:002006-10-09T15:44:20Z2006-10-09T15:44:18Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29065351.post-116040865855988170More New Programming

The AltWheels festival returned to Boston this past weekend for its fourth annual event. WheelsTV is a sponsor of the four day event that ran from Thursday to Sunday.
