Hello Consumer Friends from ther 77th floor of the 2 story Consumer Friend World Headquarters. Thanks for stopping by on a busy Thursday.
If you are looking to buy or lease a vehicle 2009 for example there is a site with an abundance of information:
The Auto Channel
http://db.theautochannel.com/db/newcarbuyersguide/
Once you arrive and get a parking spot you can navigate around the site by checking out SUV’s, Hybrid’s or everything in between.
The opportunity presents itself to see the cost of the vehicle and how it stacks up against others.
They aren’t pushing you in any direction. That is why the Consumer Friend feels comfortable sending you there for a look. The information is written and you make the decision if anything seems perfect for the budget and the heart.
I’ll go now and sign off from the Consumer Friend local at Consumer Friend Road and Be well Avenue. Thanks for visiting and always stop by!
Welcome to the Consumer Friend section of the block. Thanks for visiting.
Tomorrow evening the New Yankee Stadium with all the amenities a fan could want will be open for the first time. The first of two exhibition games with the Chicago Cubs kicks off the new home for the Bronx Bombers.
The new home is not a House. There are certain things that don’t get replaced, the Beatles, Coca-Cola, the Montreal Forum, and the original Yankee Stadium.
For any that walked through the doors suddenly time stopped. The three hours or so were uplifting and if you spent it with your mom and or dad it was that much more meaningful.
The word progress is thrown around frequently but newer isn’t always better. In fact I would have been content if the original configuration of the old stadium didn’t change when it was renovated in the 1970′s. Right field 296 feet away (not 300) and the monuments located not behind center field but on it!
If all goes well the Yankees will put over 4 million people in the park and as a fan spelled f a n a t a c, I hope there is plenty of post season baseball. It was sorely missed in 2008.
Anything but a World Series victory in Yankee land is a failure and when the glitz is gone the championships shine on forever.
Good luck to the 2009 New York Yankees. Bring the title back to New York City.
From the Consumer Friend Headquarters time to get some food for tomorrows game. Thanks for stopping by.
Calling all Cars (Chrysler, Ford, & GM)
April 2, 2009
Welcome to Thursday at the Consumer Friend Headquarters somewhere near Information Alley & Partly Sunny Blvd. Thanks for visiting.
You can’t get too far in the morning without hearing the rumors about the automakers. Will one or two go bankrupt, will there be a merger, does the government need to submit even more bail out funds.
What is the answer? There is none. Whatever road you take there are advantages and pitfalls. Some will argue that good money is being given to bad. They feel not once, not twice… the car makers have not come up with a structure to give quality, service, and financial stability. The other side of the line is if even 1 of the big 3 fold the total job loss would severely damage the path to economic recovery.
A merger? Will that solve the issue? You still would be dealing with large debt and even if buying a competitor helped in the very long term initially wouldn’t that mean more lay-offs, early buyouts, and cuts in man and woman power?
Would incentives work? Buy an American car and you get a tax rebate and a gas card for the first few hundred miles. Refer somebody else and get a small check.
A tough delimina for an early Thursday morning.
Thanks for sharing part of the day with the Consumer Friend. Enjoy spring!
