On The Record: Phyllis Wolper

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:38:48 -0500

Ann Richard may not often be remembered for helping divorced women obtain credit and car insurance, but she did.

I remember that as late as the 1980’s, it was almost impossible for a single woman to obtain credit on her own. Things were much harder for a divorced woman who often had to pay a higher rate for car insurance than her ex-husband, and she had little protection under the law. Many law enforcement agencies did not respond to what they deemed a domestic dispute, even after the divorce was long final, which too often had tragic results.

Stupid

The story of hitting an S.U.V.

I don’t even know what caught my attention and took it from the road, but when I saw how close the monstrous SUV was, I slammed on the brakes and watched my hood crinkle up toward me. And then I said fuck. Which was probably louder than the crash.

It could have been worse!

A Necessary Evil

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 23:39:02 -0500

The story of buying a car.

We got a very good deal, if that is possible in the car sales arena. The car is not a performance vehicle but will get me from a to b, not very fast but fast enough. Lol

Escape Love

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 16:40:08 -0500

An Escape owner in love with Ford's smallest SUV.

Up until a few years ago, my grandparents (on my mom’s side) were the only ones in my family who had ever driven a Ford. I had only known of a few people who had one or had one previously, so I had not had much experience with them until I bought my own. One of my co-workers at the time (and long time friend) had just purchased her second Mustang and had actually owned an Explorer a few years earlier as well. The really loved both and encouraged me to look into Ford’s smaller SUV (the Escape).

My New (To Me) Ride

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 09:40:25 -0500

Fast car drivers may want to look in the used market for a good deal on a luxury car.

So taking a page from my brother, I started looking at used luxury cars. And rather than going through the dealerships I wanted to look at small, niche companies that specialized in taking off-lease cars, fixing them up, and getting them back to market.

If A Car Launches In Second Life, Will Anyone Notice It?

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:37:52 -0500

A look at fast car marketing on Second Life.

So does maintaining a presence in Second Life result in increasing brand exposure and car sales? I went undercover again to see whether I could find what the magic ingredient for Scion’s expanding presence in Second Life was:

Electronic Control Units

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 13:38:44 -0500

Good post on this incipient Formula One fast car controversy.

The F1 world should start waking up sometime during the next couple of days. The summer break has been a welcome relief from the non-stop controversy of the 2007 season, but before we jump on the treadmill again I thought it’d be worth looking into the Electronic Control Unit contention bubbling under the surface.
