Alright, so now that we have touched on just a few of the dangers that come with texting and driving, I want to tell you exactly how it can affect your driving skills.  As we mentioned before, it will not only split your concentration in two, but if you concentrate a little too much on texting, it is really easy to get into a car crash.

Limiting your distractions will not only help with your driving, but it is something that will ensure that you will be completely focused on your driving.  That will in turn, make sure that your driving is completely up to snuff.

So now that you know the dangers of texting and driving, just make sure that you pull over if you absolutely need to use your cell phone.

Now that we have talked a little bit about texting and driving, let’s go ahead and explore some of the dangers that you might experience when you are attempting to text and drive.  One of the first things that you need to understand is that driving is operating a heavy machine that does take a lot of concentration and focus.

When you are driving, there should be very little distractions if any at all and when you add in texting to the mix, you are not only distracted but you are also trying to type out words or update statuses.  These things take away from your focus.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about what that can mean for you and your driving skills.

In this day and age it seems that texting is one of those things that is a necessity for many people.  To be quite frank, I have seen people texting while they are doing everything from driving all the way to working and that is what we are here to talk about.  Texting while you are driving is very, very dangerous.

While there might be some things that you want to get the word out on, if you are intent on texting while driving, make sure that you pull over and do it instead of while driving.  One of the major reasons why so many people get into accidents is the fact that they are texting while driving.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about just how dangerous it truly is and what can happen if you do text and drive.

If you are one of the few people that has never, ever been to the Detroit Auto Show in January, you need to make sure that you make an appearance at this years.  While I know the hotels are filling up quickly, I can tell you that this show is going to be filled with tons of political VIPs this year, as GM and Chrysler are required a combine $80 billion dollars in government assistance.

The 2010 is a fantastic way for the government to keep an eye on its investment and I can tell you that, that is exactly what they are going to do.  There are going to be a ton of different government agents there and I think that is fantastic.

It is about time that the government got involved in the automakers money and dealing with them.  However … if someone from the government takes my ticket for this great show, I’m going to get pissed!

Michigan has always held a special place in my heart – it is my home state and Detroit … while not my home city; it is certainly a special place.  So when I read in The Detroit News that GM has gone on the record stating that without the state tax credits, they would have to pull out of the skyline and actually move to the suburbs and surrounding areas.

Now, I have to tell you that this particular building in huge.  I have been inside of it and have actually stayed at the Marriott there and the number of jobs that would be lost is incredible.  Basically – GM needs to have 2,500 employees working and pay out about $60 million dollars in order to qualify for the incentives and tax breaks.

Do I think that is going to happen? Well, if anyone can do it, GM can and I think that they will.

I feel like we have talked about the Hummer HX Concept before – I feel that I have spoken about this particular SUV over and over again … ah, I know what it is – it is a reflection of the last post I did!  Hummer is known for their rugged SUV’s and I have to say that this particular concept SUV has been in limbo since GM announced it.

The first thing that they are trying to do before actually building the Hummer HX Concept is to arrest all of the free-fall of hummer sales.  Right now … the Hummer sale are down about 64% to be exact and while sales are looking up in 2010 … that is not right now.

While the Hummer HX Concept is certainly a cool looking Hummer, it is at the bottom of the list right now.
