Do you want to keep up to speed on what’s happening in the automotive world? Join Lonnie Johnson and crew every Saturday morning as they spend two hours watching Telemundo and talking about cars. From the showroom to the shop floor they cover it all. Along with Ken (the snake) Davis, and David Irwin, managing partner of Tyler Ford, everyone tries to keep Lonnie in line. You get the absolute latest news from the car world.

Each week the car show offers interviews with industry insiders, a road test from Roger Gray and of course we welcome your calls and questions. But with all this content we promise not to let information get in the way of a good time. This isn’t your old man’s car show. It’s more like your crazy uncle Zeke’s

So join the crew every Saturday from 10am – noon for the Car Show. Brought to you by Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center.

MERCURY MARINER HYBRID
Car ReviewOk, I’ve seen the light. Coming to work Wednesday morning I saw something that just moved me. Right there at Troup Highway and Fifth Street was a senior driving a moped. Is that what they are called today? I really thought my uber-nerdy band teacher from the seventies would be the last human I would ever witness riding such a small and potentially deadly slow, cycle. But there she was an attractive senior, (no, not at John Tyler High School) blue hair just flowing in the wind like a graphic for wind on the Weather Channel. Are you following this? The price of fuel has become so prohibitive that a senior, possibly on a fixed income has made the (responsible) decision to save fuel by risking her life on a glorified scooter. That should wake you up. This gas price issue is only going to get worse. It’s time to start acting like we have a problem. Hell, it’s been almost two years since our owner had to all but give up his favorite mode of transportation, flying. So, in two years, we go from pilots condensing their private flight plans to seniors on parade on MOPEDS!

So, here we are plopped right in the beginning of the end of affordable gas for all. Time for Mr./Ms. Large SUV owner to take notice and go green. That drastic step has been made a little easier by Mercury.

You can take your pick of FoMoCo hybrids. Mine would be the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. What a fantastic SUV. Notice I didn’t say “little” SUV. That’s because it’s not really that small. There is plenty of room to fit five people comfortably. The rear seats fold down to permit as much cargo as someone without a truck should carry.

PROJECT '74
Project Car 74

IT'S FINISHED! The completed pics of Project 74 have arrived. We would like to thank all of our fantastic sponsors for all the hard work and time put into this project. A really big thanks goes to David (Irwin), of the Car Show and Tyler Ford for saving the paint job. As you can see it looks great. Check out the gallery. Pay close attention to the detail. As you know we completed this project on a very tight budget almost anyone could afford. Including the price of the car we came in below fifteen thousand dollars.
