Housekeeping: Happy Fourth of July!
It’s about time to celebrate America’s independence.
Which means fireworks, booze (don’t drink and drive), and barbecues.
Or in my case, NASCAR.
It also means TTAC is shutting down early today and is off Monday. You may or may not see a stray post here and there, but otherwise, we’re back to the blog grind Tuesday.
Stay safe, stay cool, and see you then.

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.

Happy 4th! Agree the oil prices are because oil producers cut back and a shortage of drivers. There is plenty of oil but not enough refinery capacity and drivers. I will be going back to the office as well after September 30.
How about you do some house keeping and clean up your staff and bring back Bertel Schmitt and/or Baruth or some of the other writers that used to make this site entertaining.
All things considered, we should have become a province of Canada.
HEY TIM How about an update on Lordstown Motors? A lot has happened since June 18 -Lordstown week - not even a peep (or a regurgitated article from another source)from TTAC -Revelation that executives sold stocks before the quarterly report -DOJ investigation I mean we all know that they are going to die but it's nice to see the train wreck actually happen
