Veterans Day!

Veterans Day is Monday November 11th! Be sure to honor and give support to all the Veterans that served as well as the families of those who served that gave their lives fighting to protect our freedom!

Here is a little History about Veterans Day:

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

 Thanks to all those who have served! Your services are forever appreciated and will never be forgotten! 

Why you shouldn't text and drive!

The popularity of mobile devices has had some unintended and even dangerous consequences. We now know that mobile communications are linked to a significant increase in distracted driving, resulting in injury and even loss of life.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2010 driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes – with 3,092 people killed – and crashes resulting in an injury – with 416,000 people wounded.

Eleven percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile accident and survived admitted they were sending or receiving texts when they crashed. Research suggests that texting slows driver reaction times more than being drunk and the act is a constant risk nowadays as everyone carries phones.

How do you prefer to watch the game!?

Do you like watching the game from home? Benefits from being at home would include: saving money on tickets and food. Sitting on your own comfy couch, and using your own personal toilet for when you got to go. Not having to deal with ridiculous amounts of traffic before and after.

Would you rather watch the game from the stands? Benefits from watching in the stands may include: Yelling as loud as you want without upsetting the spouse or kids, getting the great feeling of a roaring stadium after a touchdown or goal. Delicious hot dogs and ice cold beverages, no boring commercials to take away from whats going on in the game.

Find the Perfect Pumpkin to Carve!

It's that time again! You've hopped in your Car, and you're heading to the pumpkin farm to find the perfect pumpkin to carve. But what should you be looking for?

A Jack-O-Lantern is the way to go. Observe the tall thick walls with straight lines, preferably one without many indentations. Find one that has at least one side that doesn't have imperfections. This will be the ideal place to carve.

Once you've found the perfect pumpkin, enjoy the other things that a pumpkin farm has to offer! Apple cider, hay rides, corn mazes. Embrace fall!

At the end of your adventure, hop back into your Toyota, and plan out what you will carve into that perfect pumpkin! A ghost? A witch? A traditional jack-o-lantern? Whatever it is, we know it will be amazing.

Stressed out, stuck in traffic and just want to get home!?

Long days at work can call for a stressful drive home especially if you're stuck in traffic. Blow off some steam with a simple fast and easy trick. Take some bubble wrap and wrap it around your steering wheel. This can really help alleviate some stress built up from work or home life. It can also prevent possible road rage!

Providing a helping hand!

 

 Helping out the community is something we love to be a apart of. Just ask the chief of police for Angleton ISD. He came to us and asked for a helping hand to fix a few patrol cars they wanted to use to patrol near by schools. Barely raising enough money to fix them up we gladly offered our help and services. We are finishing up the last of the three vehicles and we couldn't have done a better job. All three officers are excited and look forward to drive around in their what looks to be new patrol car. Does your car need fixing up?
