Ride in Style

This is how you should ride to a Hawkeye football victory in style. Click on the picture to go to a gallery with more pictures.



For those interested, this is a 1949 Chevrolet 3600 3/4 ton. It was originally my great-grandfather E.B. Null's truck (Huck to most people, hence the lettering on the tailgate), and my dad recently had it restored. It's a driver, not a showpiece, so it has made it to 2 games for tailgating already this year.

It's pretty cool rolling down the road in a vehicle built in the 40's with absolutely nothing automatic in it. A/C, heater, wipers, power windows, locks, seat belts, radio...yeah we don't need any of those.

Get Me Out of This Stale Air

Time to break out of the funk...

Ryan recently posted/ranted about Chevy's new product tie-in with "The Apprentice". Having seen a new Tahoe in person, I can say they are really cool, even if I wouldn't personally buy one.
I have already commented on Ryan's post about my agreement with his points. I don't understand the blind hatred for SUV's and their owners, I still feel that all people can make their own, hopefully educated, decision about what vehicle they wish to purchase.

I also happen to subscribe to the GM Fastlane blog. It is mostly comprised of posts from Robert Lutz, which makes it of great interest to me (BTW: pick up his book sometime for an interesting read). Today's post is directly concerning the Tahoe promotion, and the media interest it has generated.

Take a look.
