America Packs a Small Punch: The 2011 Ford Fiesta
America is known for big cars, and lets face it, we like big cars. Even foreign companies that make great small cars in the rest of the world don’t usually attempt to bring them to the US because they know they will almost certainly be a sales flop. Or would they? When gas prices skyrocketed back in 2008, we had more demand than ever for small fuel efficient cars. Now that the cost of a tankfull has come back down to reality, is their still a demand? I think we are about to find out. › Continue reading

Happy 4th from txGarage
I love the forth of July, not for the fireworks and barbecue but for taking time and remembering what our independence as a nation means. Remembering the hardships and triumphs this great country has had in its short life span. Remembering the great men who put their lives and fortune on the line for an ideal, a new ideal that said man was in control of his own destiny. That his rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were not granted by a king or government but by a higher power and could not be striped away. The Declaration of Independence wasn’t just made to separate America from England but to unite a country in freedom no matter your color or background.
