As I was cruising AOL Autos for another project, I came across an article entitled "The Top 20 Dumbest Cars Of All Time".  It was a great chuckle for the start of the day, I of course knew the cars listed (new and old) and was slightly offended that the Pinto made the list.  Yes, my grandpa owned a 1975 Pinto and I LOVED that car, Orange plaid and all.  But number 13, is the one that caught my eye.  I had never heard of it, so I thought I would do a little digging, and this is what I found out.  Thank you to all of the researchers that went before me who provided 99.98% of this information.  Why was it rated #13 on the Dumbest Cars Of All Time:  Well according to AOL Autos Staff: Simply naming the car after yourself is a guarantee that things will not go well.  The Bricklin was the creation of Malcolm Bricklin and SV-1 stood for "safety vehicle 1".  The American auto world was looking at trying to compete with the asian marke...

Related Gallery 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek: New York 2012   The Subaru XV Crosstrek is finally coming to United States and all the folks at Bruce Titus Automotive are excited for its arrival.  While we still don't have actual arrival dates, we are expecting them to arrive at Eastside Subaru and Tacoma Subaru in the next few weeks.   Recently Mike Burgess at Tacoma Subaru went down to the pre-arrival ride and drive with Subaru, he was excited before, and now he is over the top eager.  He was amazed what they had them do in this great car.  Running through huge pits of fine sand, and amazed when they told him to stop.  Let's face it, we all know that on sand forward motion is essential.  They had him stop the car, and let it settle into the sand and take off again, and it did!  So if he wasn't impressed then (which he was) they had him rund through a deep pool of water up past the door jambs and deep enough to cover the exhaust...

Labor Day - Do you know how it came to be? As the Labor Day holiday approached, I certainly understood that it was a holiday to commemorate the "laborers", but I didn't understand its origins.  As with so many things, we just follow along with the crowd, so I decided to check into it.  While there is some dispute over who first proposed labor day as a holiday, the thought was conceived around 1882, and Oregon was the first state to declare it a holiday in 1887. While many states had adopted this holiday, it was not made a Federal Holiday until 1894.  The legislation was created following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of U.S. Military and US Marshals during the Pullman Strike.  The US Congress voted to approve rush legislation that made Labor Day a national holiday. Labor Day celebrations were generally celebrated with a street parade to exhibit the strenth, spirit and unity of the trade and labor organizations, followed by festivals for worke...
