Car designs have dramatically changed over the years, from the original purely functional Ford Model-A to a Mercedes SLK with more gadgets and features than the cockpit of a Boeing 737. It seems to me that cars available in the United States are all specifically designed and marketed towards a single occupant. I understand that most of us are on our own when driving; but wouldn't it be nice if our cars brought us closer?
During the past few days I’ve been sick with the flu, and for as long as I can remember this has meant piling on the blankets, grab a bottle of Sprite, some saltine crackers, and watching every movie and television show possible. What really got my attention and interest was “The History Channel’s: Modern Marvels- The CB Radio”
(A Story of Stuff)
For millennia, people have had an infatuation with stuff, more importantly having their stuff with them, while in pursuit of more stuff. The need for trailers in some shape or form has essentially been a NEED since the invention of the wheel… once again, because of all this stuff. Today I’m going to go through an abbreviated list of the many different types of trailers that have been used throughout history.
(When the Lack of Common Sense Leaves you Cents-less)
Working in the towing industry, I’ve came across many towing horror stories. I’ve heard of just about everything, from trailers coming uncoupled, to vehicle exhaust burning up treasured possessions. Although there are times when the equipment is to blame, the problem normally lies with the careless preparation of the person that these tragedies affect. Often these mistakes occur when feeling rushed or excited.
In many of my blog posts I relate towing to different events that have transpired in my life. Today I wanted to do something a little different and talk about events that have transpired throughout the history of CURT Mfg. (my employer) that have resulted in my ability to blog about towing.
