    Hurricane Ike

    Ike Water was fresh. I could judge the depth from the how high the water was over the curb and how far the water extended up in the yards. I also judged the depth from how high went on the Infinity G35 that did not make it. I slowly pulled up along side of him. I rolled my window and asked...

    Buying a service loaner? Bad idea?

    I bought a service loaner and I have been pleased with it. Owning a Land Rover means that you will have the opportunity to drive a service loaner while your is in the shop. Most times, I just drive the service loaner to work and then back to the dealer. Fairly easy driving. At least in Hoston...
