Boasting over 100 years of existence, Ford is well known for a rich, long history and a collection of highly-rated models, as well as a healthy rate of success. Ford has simply become synonymous with the automotive and leasing industry, according to reports from http://www.centralcontracts.com . The Ford brand was founded by Henry Ford and 11 other investors, contributing $28,000, notably the Dodge brothers, Horace and John, who later went on to create the Dodge make of vehicles...

"I'd absolutely no idea my name might emerge, and it didn't really until the day of the election," he said. Asked if he knew why he had been cassated, DiNoia replied that in the order, the higher superior, "unlike canon law, does not have to provide explanation and that's something we adhere to. "The reasons, no one knows. People have speculated," he said, "chiefly on my positions with the bishops conference, and the importance of my role as theology professor -- there aren't that many of us -...

Can you use your car on idle for a generator?

So today my youngest son calls us with a request for  advice.  Not unusual especially when it comes to his car.  He's always calling us with a car question.  I think he's called at least twice in the last year with jumper cables in hand "which color is negative and which is positive?"  He's inherited his lack of mechanical skills honestly from me.  I'm probably the least mechanical person on the planet.  I'm still trying to figure out how...

At long last the new car has arrived.  A 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo.  My daily car remains the Jaguar S-type R, but on these beautiful days, the Porsche is a fun ride. I'll write up a more thorough review when there's more time.  My problem with most car reviews is that they're written by jaded, snotty sounding auto-reviewers who seem to be so out of touch with what normal people care about that their reviews are largely wasted.   For example, many of the reviews I re...

Start back to 14 days in the ICU in the AM - 7 days of 13+ hours, then 7 nights of 13+ hours, all in the ICU at our hospital. We have a group of 4 docs that provide 24H/day. 7days/week in house ICU physician coverage. We see 95%+ of the patients admitted to our ICU. Specific patient info can't be posted, but other related stories can be interesting, frustrating, entertaining and educating. The group is 4 docs, all specializing in ICU medicine, all we do is ICU (Critical Care) Medicine...

I mentioned in one of my random blogs that I was in search of a new vehicle, a used one. I was keeping my fingers crossed that it wouldn't take me long to find the one I want and it hasn't! Yep, at last I have my own wheels again. It’s a used one owner only, and in really great condition. It needs two things done, but very minor that our mechanics shop will do for us at minimum cost. I’ve been driving around in it and its pretty fast for a car that old! I have to actually take my fo...

You ask someone what their dream car is and you'll get all kinds of mega cars that cost millions of dollars. I never gave much thought about cars until relatively recently. I drove a 1984 Chevette well into my 20s. That was all I could afford. But over the years, fate and prosperity have been kind to me and getting the untouchable dream car starts to become a reality. But a lifetime of ignorance on cars means I've had to play catch-up.  Having been burning the midnight oil for the pa...
