Car Crazy? It may be inherited - 08/30/08 09:05 PM
Hello, My name is Bob and I'm automotively addicted. Or so it would seem anyway. I love cars. Street rods, original classic cars, most forms of racing, exotic cars, they are all great!

When we moved to Atlanta -Sandy Springs he checked with Fulton county zoning was was ecstatic to learn they would allow a 20 … (8 comments)

College Football - and the funniest thing I ever saw - 08/28/08 02:47 PM
Of course the entire "Bulldog Nation" is all excited about starting this footbal season ranked as #1, myself included. However, UGA football also brings backs memories for me of the funniest thing I ever saw.My one year in Athens was 1977-78. I guess one year was all that the city of Athens and UGA could take of me :-). Anyway, the football games were always a great experience and a lot of fun.Back in those days the stadium was quite different. Both ends of the stadium were open. On one open end of the stadium was "the tracks". This was, as … (3 comments)

However there a multitude of local and state grant programs that will give the buyers a down payment. The big one around here … (6 comments)
