Bruce Titus Automotive Group

Saturday, September 8, was the 3rd Annual Nissan & Mitsubishi Show and Meet 2012 hosted by NissanParts.cc , Nismoparts.com , mitsubishiparts.net and the Bruce Titus Automotive Group, Inc ..  It was a huge success, and a lot of fun!  We had cars come from all over the state and from as far away as Montana.  While the show & meet required pre-registration, the registration for this event was free.  All expenses were picked up by an incredible list of sponsors and vendors.  Vendors and sponsors and were incredibly generous with their offerings for the raffle, providing  everything from T-shirts and swag packs to hundreds of dollars in Gift Certificates.  All were coveted prizes with huge value, and raffle sales were excellent.  Raffle tickets were a $1 a piece and all proceeds went to the JBLM Fisher House at Joint Base Lewis McChord.  Please visit the list of vendors at the bottom of this article, and stop by their website or ...

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...

It seems, at every turn, that someone is asking for money.  From change jars on counters to phone calls at dinner, everybody wants their piece.  With the start of the school year just around the corner, I am not looking forward to the cookie dough, wrapping paper, magazine, and coupon book catalogs that will soon litter the break room counters.  Anyone with a child knows how traumatic this can be.  You promise you will not do it for them, and then you realize how bad they want to earn that ducky coin purse, and off you go, hocking their wears so the PTSA or boosters can get their piece of the pie.  The problem is they really need that money! All of the organizations do. From programs for at-risk youth to Cancer research.  So what do you do?  Do you give until it hurts, or do you just ignore it?  You want to give, but you can't give to every organization.  Here are some points to ponder.  First, quite literally eve...

Compared with the other eight contenders, the 200-hp Subaru BRZ is woefully underpowered. As Lago pointed out several times in our BDC planning meetings, the BRZ shouldn't even be in our epic nine-car drag race. Going uphill from turn 5 to 6 felt like being on a roller coaster: You're just waiting to...

It is Back to School season, and that means everybody is going to be just a bit busier.  With the lazy days of summer....if you call driving kids to summer camp, play dates, vacations, road trips to the beach and grandma's lazy.....coming to an end, and back to school is just around the corner, it is easy to forget your constant companion;  your car.  After all, it has started almost every time you have needed, and been there to get the kids to the beach, and your teenager has driven all over the county to every lake and BBQ without a hitch, why should you give it any thought now? Well, now is more critical than ever.  With the hot weather, road trips, sand, and probably more than a few over loaded trips to the fun in the sun, it needs a pick me up too.  That is, if you want it to continue to be that reliable variable in your often crazy schedule. Whether it is just about getting the kids to scouts and piano lesson, or your teen off to college, the maintenan...
