Let’s talk Car Politics.

Well, it is spring in Michigan. The local car shows started last weekend. Yea, winter is finally over! Ken is taking the ’65 Ford Pick Up to an open house at American Speed (they build a ’33 Ford). We have some great Manufacturers developing in Michigan. Two new steel body manufacturers started in the last two years. Both great hot rodders who decided they had a better idea! The other new guy on the block is Shadow Rods (they build a ’27 T body). These cars are so well thought out, I am sure they will be a pleasure to build.

Let’s talk Politics….. You know me better than that. I have certainly not decided on my vote in the national election. But I am glad I live in a country that I am allowed to participate! I will observe for a while yet. November is a long way away.

Let’s talk car politics. Kimberly and I are going to Washington DC to attend the SEMA Rally I am pretty excited about the trip! The schedule is tight but it should be very interesting. It is important that we stand up for the little guy. I am here for you. We have 38 employees that we support. The health care bill I pay for ididit is over $10,000. a month. I do not cover any family member! I feel guilty about that, but it is all I can afford. (I cannot ask you to pay for our steering columns.)

Most of the people in public office have no idea how much fun it is to drive a hot rod on the weekend! We do not want out Senators and Congressmen to forget about us in the whole picture! There is a coalition that supports our industry, we need to support them with any information they can use to support our battle to stay on the roads. We need to be pro active to keep our industry in front of the public eye.

Now, for my favorite quote of the week. (Taken from a Cadillac commercial)

“When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?”
