I was (and still am) fascinated with the Ram Rebel. While it isn’t what ended up in my driveway, it was definitely on the short list (one of the final two, actually) during our recent truck-buying experience. Why? I like the look of it. Beyond that, it’s a tough truck that rides well and has all the comfort and style offered by the Ram brand. … Read More

Take me out to the ball game
Typically, I write about something vehicle-related. Cars, car care, road trips … But not today. The rebel in me says the Ram post I was working on will have to wait for another day. Today, this is about how history was made in November 2016. Why? Because I am a lifelong, die-hard Chicago Cubs fan. I lived in Chicago during the days of Ryne Sandberg, … Read More
Not a “truck person,” but she loves the new Ram!
I’ve previously mentioned the importance of a test drive. And, if you read, There’s just something about a truck, then you already know we were in the market for a new Ram truck. This was not something we had discussed with our daughter. Yet. We were down to decision-making time and I had yet to drive the truck. Not wanting to waste a minute more, … Read More

There’s just something about a truck
We’re shopping for a new Ram truck. Let me tell you, when two people who have both been in the auto industry shop together for a truck, it’s an interesting situation. My husband was in sales, so he’s the negotiator. (He is typically the one who does the research, although in this case it’s a Ram truck, so we’re both fairly well-versed.) He gets all … Read More
Ram and Jeep® brand vehicles prove to be top contenders
When you hear about a rodeo in a place called Dripping Springs, Texas, it’s more likely to invoke images of this kind of beast: Not this kind: But recently, the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) hosted the Texas Truck Rodeo in Dripping Springs, Texas, and FCA US brand vehicles rode away with some of the top awards. In fact, Jeep® brand vehicles and Ram trucks … Read More
Dodge “cool factor” strengthened by solid safety ratings
When you think safe car, what image do you conjure up in your head? A sedan? A minivan? An SUV? A tank? If the phrase “safe car” does not invoke thoughts of muscle cars, you are not alone. But recently, both the 2017 Dodge Challenger and the 2017 Dodge Charger were dubbed two of the safest cars on the road, both earning five-star overall safety … Read More

It’s a long-running tradition. Every year around this time, small towns and big cities across America gather for what I consider the official ushering-in of the fall season – the parade. In our town in particular, it’s the local high school’s homecoming parade. And it’s a lot of fun. For several years now, we have gathered with friends and neighbors to line the streets and … Read More

If you’ve never been to the State Fair of Texas, I urge you to, at some point in your life, make the effort to visit at least once. Where else can you take a selfie … Read More
