Housekeeping: We Take a Day Off to Celebrate POTUS
No, not the current POTUS. Or the previous one, or the one before that, or the one before that…
We’re taking Monday off to celebrate two long-dead presidents who shaped American history. Thanks to a revised holiday schedule from our corporate masters in … Toronto.
I hope you read that headline above understanding my tongue was planted firmly in cheek, especially after my op-ed about a certain Jeep ad and Jason’s story on the Boss got a lot of people riled. So much is so serious right now, so I hope I got you to laugh.
We’ll be back on Tuesday, and there may be a post here and there over the long weekend. Until then, don’t forget Valentine’s Day if you have someone special in your life, and enjoy the race if NASCAR is your thing (I’ll be tuning in).
Oh, and stay warm. Most of North America is in a deep freeze, so be careful out there.
See ya Tuesday.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Shouldn't Taft get an honorable mention? I believe.he was the first President to have an official car (A White or Stanley Steamer...don't remember which)
Yes. Agree honorable mention to Taft for the first official Presidential car and let's forget and not give honorable mention to the Orange One and not mention him further. At least honorable mention of Taft has more to do about The Truth About Cars.
