Finding the Perfect Vehicle for Your Hobby

Many hobbies require travel time, storage, and a reliable vehicle. The thing about having a hobby is that it plays a big part in your life, you enjoy it, and you don’t want to give it up. If your hobby is refurbishing furniture, then you probably do quite a bit of traveling to garage sales, or swap meets to find those good deals. If you have a love for fishing, you probably do a lot of driving to find the best fishing holes like lakes, streams, or the oceans. If you hunt, you may also do quite a bit of traveling to different hunting grounds depending on what type of game you are hunting. Deer hunting can grow weary, and you might want to change it up a little bit by hog hunting or elk hunting. Now if you’re born and bred in Texas, you know that you have absolutely no problem finding wild hog, however, if you want to shoot something more substantial like elk you have to travel. Another hobby that many people may not think of, however, is very prevalent and has a large following is reenacting. There are many different types of reenacting, but the ones that have you do most of the traveling our military reenactments. World War I and World War II reenactments take place all over the country. Even the reenactors here in Texas have quite a ways to drive to each event. Texas regiments take part in events that are located all throughout Texas as well as Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The thing about reenacting is that it also requires a lot of gear. You don’t just take your own equipment, but you also carry all of your extra gear just in case there’s someone out there who doesn’t have something that they need to participate.

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...
