New Advertisement to Honor Armed Services Day

Ram Trucks has a new ad in its Long Live Ram campaign this year, commemorating Armed Services Day. The ad stars an actual World War II veteran, Art Frankel. The ad tells the story of veteran Frankel coming across his old fighter plane when exploring a junkyard with what looks to be his grandson.
Frankel enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the age of 18. He served in the Air Corps as a topographic draftsman, drawing maps of the ground below. Frankel isn't alone in the ad as far as veterans go.

Hellcat Navy Fighter

The Grumman F6F Hellcat Navy Fighter that Frankel comes across is a plane whose name was adopted by Ram’s close relative Dodge for its supercharged V-8 engine. It's one of only five Hellcat aircraft's in the word that still flies, according to Ram. The vintage aircraft is maintained by the Southern California Wing of the Commemorative Air Force. The Hellcat featured in the ad spends most of its time in air shows or resting at the World War II Aviation Museum in Camarillo, CA.

A Helpful App

apple.com A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them. Standard infotainments don't offer what CarPlay does. With CarPlay, you are applying iPhone software expertise to your driving experience, with Siri voice commands. Sending messages, playing music, asking for directions, streaming radio, or calling people hasn't been easier. All without touching your phone. It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months.
