The 2008 Ranger Advantage Tour nearly ended in tragedy Saturday, December 6 as you may have read on BassFan.com, but thanks to a new tough Chevy Suburban, Kim and Danny Stricker walked away with almost no injury! Since they had piggybacked their visit to the Ranger factory in Flippin Arkansas with a taping trip for their great show Hook n' Look to Dale Hollow earlier in the week, they had all of their camera equipment with them. None of it was damaged! While the Chevy Suburban was totaled after rolling, Kim's Ranger Boat escaped harm with only minimal trailer damage.

Coming up Tuesday or Wednesday, our government may decide whether or not they will loan the auto industry money needed to retool and invest in the near future. GM and the other manufacturers say they can't get the money they need due to the banking industry emergency. They say they may go bankrupt if they don't get this money causing a possible cascading effect through our entire economy at a very bad time, particularly for Michigan.

I'm always in favor of providing information so you can make an informed decision or at least, be knowledgeable about the issue. Here is a short video on the issue along with a link to a web site from the auto industry.
