DID YOU KNOW:
...That Alaska is the America’s easternmost state, but it’s also America’s most western state as well? Since some of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands lie west of the 180th meridian, the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, they are considered to be placed in the Eastern Hemisphere.
...That there once in Southern California was a race track called Riverside International Raceway? It was considered worldwide to be a track that separated the men from the boys. Simply put, it was fast, a bit tricky in a few spots and very dangerous. Track safety standards at the time (we’re talking late '50s and into the late '80s) were nothing like those of today. Adding to that, the driver safety equipment was merely token. Riverside became the home of the original Los Angeles International Airport, better known as LAX. The track was offered the tower for $1,00 and its management jumped at the offer. It became the raceway’s landmark and was relocated once at the track — no small task considering its size, height, and weight. Riverside Raceway became the home of many famous races: The LA Times Grand Prix, The Motor Trend 500, The Mission Bell 250 and many other amazing events. Sadly, all that came to a bitter end when California real estate became too valuable for something that drew far less taxes compared to homes and shopping, which now cover the hallowed ground of one of the world’s best racetracks.
WARNING — WARNING — WARNING: Extended automotive warranties have become the new playground for less-than-honest players. My recent experience with a company called Liberty Extended Auto Warranty has proven to me that one needs to be VERY CAREFUL when selecting one of these companies. Either deal with the manufacturer’s program or investigate the company you're considering deeply.
...That with all the newfound attention on electric driven automobiles, (sales more than doubled in 2020) many are now predicting that gas-powered cars have not long to live? In what can only called a gross overreaction, some media sources are saying the auto manufacturers are in a panic to sell their internal combustion engine manufacturing plants. To this they respond: Calm down, the conventional auto engine is not nearly dead yet, though we agree that time will come. Trust us, once the first California brown-out that leaves plug in car owners stranded happens, gas engine sales will bounce back real quick.
