Your Grandmother and I got married first, . and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, 'Sir'. And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, 'Sir.' We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios. And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk. The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. Ice-cream cones, phone calls, ride on a bus, and a Coke were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . . . but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. In my day: grass' was mowed, coke' was a cold drink, pot' was something your mother cooked in and rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby. Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office, chip' meant a piece of wood, hardware was found in a hardware store and software' wasn't even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us 'old and confused' and say there is a generation gap.. and how old do you think I am? This man would be only 62 years old!
February 2010 Corvette Sales Corvette sales hit a new low last month with just 624 Corvettes delivered during February 2010. That's a decline of -39% from February 2009's 1,027 sales figure and -26.9% off of January 2010's 854 deliveries. A shortened selling period of 24 days combined with several winter storms that blanketed much of the country is to blame for the decline. The bigger news this period is that ZR1 inventories continue to rise. As of yesterday, there are now 256 Corvette ZR1s available at dealer showrooms, an increase of 65 ZR1s available at the beginning of February. Overall, 2010 Corvette inventories grew during the month of February from 1,685 to 2,389 as of March 1st. If Corvette sales don't pick up soon, it's very likely we'll see additional plant closures in the coming months.
