		<description><![CDATA[The sound is deafening. It&#8217;s the collective snarl of a half-dozen heavy diesels prowling &#8220;the pad,&#8221; hoisting and dragging massive hunks of steel, loading them onto four-and five-axle flatbed trailers. The temperature here is hovering near 100 degrees, and the wind &#8212; an unrelenting force on this barren patch of rural Texas &#8212; is, at times, hurling huge clouds of dust and sand, creating the effect of a blizzard in a blast furnace.Welcome to the world of rig moving, a&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a crude reality: the price of diesel can change dramatically from one week to the next. Between June 1 and July 6 this year, the average diesel price began at $2.352 per gallon and skyrocketed to $2.616 per gallon, before leveling off somewhat at the $2.60 mark. Just over one year ago, diesel prices hit their peak at $4.76 per gallon, after increasing steadily for 14 straight months.That makes long-term business planning a bit tricky for the trucking business. But why are irregular &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of what you call it &#8212; frank, frankfurter, wiener, weenie, ball park, red hot, dog or dachshund, the hot dog is one of my favorite foods. I&#8217;ve been enjoying these delicious little red tubes of meat ever since my parents first served them to my brothers and me way back when we were youngsters. Unlike some folks, I don&#8217;t consider a hot dog just a fun summertime food to be eaten while at a ballpark, fair, beach, cookout or family gathering. I have them all the time, pre&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Chevrolet Corvette is an American icon. It was a crowd-stopper when the concept car, the Chevrolet EX122, was introduced at the 1953 GM Motorama, General Motors&#8217; travelling show that took new models and concepts to cities all across America. In its 56-year history encompassing six generations of Corvettes, it has developed into one of the most sophisticated and desirable automobiles in the world. As with all collectibles, enthusiasts gather to show their cars. Often, show cars are cu&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Borroughs, one of the show&#8217;s founders, came up with the idea of evaluating authenticity. Experts compared each car with its condition when it left the factory. A car could earn Gold Certification by being 95 percent or more original. Authenticity does not equal perfection. Remember, the history of the Corvette spans a time when all American cars had quality problems. But there are few opportunities in life to go back and correct errors, as many customizers do with cars. So Bl&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Navy had been working on the idea of satellite navigating since 1960, advancing a tool developed during World War II. Long-range radio aids were used then to determine a ship&#8217;s or airplane&#8217;s position quickly and accurately. When the U.S. started exploring space, scientists placed new navigation satellites in orbit, thousands of miles above earth&#8217;s surface. Although early systems could determine an object&#8217;s location only about once an hour, the concept was proven and&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A dozen or so years ago, at a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), I helped organize a panel discussion about sleeper cabs. I brought three owner-operators for a dialogue with truck builders&#8217; cab engineers. After hearing how sleepers had been made larger and more comfortable, Dennis Mitchell of Blissfield, Mich., stopped the engineers in their tracks. He asked if any of them knew how long it took for a sleeper cab to burn down to the frame rails. Dennis reported seeing i&#8230;]]></description>

They have a championship show truck: a lime green customized Peterbilt 359 with a Great Dane spread axle trailer. Last year, the brothers hosted the first-ever World of Large Cars show truck meeting. It wasn&#8217;t a show in the traditional sense. There were no judges, no trophies and no call for&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a four-wheeler slows down, speeds up and drifts in and out of their lane, you are almost guaranteed to find the driver yakking on a cellphone or vigorously tapping out a text message. Technology has made distracted driving an epidemic on our roads. Could more technology be a cure?That&#8217;s the thought behind Zoomsafer, a developing software for mobile phones that goes into action when a vehicle starts moving. The driver hears a gentle reminder to drive safely, while the software shuts d&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The highways could certainly use less road rage, drowsy driving and distracted driving. Throw into the mix a way to relieve tight shoulder and neck muscles and generally diminish the stress of being behind the wheel and hours of travel sounds downright heavenly. Steve Halpern says these are just some of the things drivers will experience by listening to his CD, Drive Time Rx. The keyboard player, who has released 70 mind-soothing recordings in the last 35 years, says his concept is simple. Buri&#8230;]]></description>
