Summer Sports

Summer Sports 

Well, it’s that time a year again, summer sports season. Many of our children are in athletic events such as baseball, soccer, basketball, track, etc. For those of us who have children who are not athletically inclined maybe they are starting a new dance season, gymnastics season, or piano. Whatever the activity, this time of year, we find ourselves spread very thin as we try to get our children from place to place or practice to practice. There are those of us that volunteer to help other parents out by taking other teammates to and from practice and games as well. I’m sure most of you have heard the term ‘soccer mom.’ Stereotypically when you hear the words soccer mom, we imagine a mom supporting her child and their team, driving the minivan full of screaming and laughing children, all while lugging around a plethora of sports equipment. How exhausting this must be, but most soccer moms wouldn’t trade it for the world.

We want our kids to enjoy outside activities like sports, so it’s hard for us to say no when they want to sign up for an athletic event. Plus, it gives us something to do in the summer, and it keeps our children healthy and active. It is also an excellent way to bond with their children since we are the ones taking them to and from practice and cheering them on at their games. Athletics give our children something to strive for and to work hard at.

But it can be hard to take your athlete to and from practice and games if you don't have a reliable vehicle. You may require your car to take your child to their practices multiple times a day and out of town games every weekend. What can you do?

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

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. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars.
