It has been said that Necessity is the Mother of Invention, but 38 years ago today marked the birth of a vehicle that holds a special place in automotive history, that begs to ask the question, “Was this really necessary?” On September 11, 1971, Ford introduced the Pinto.  Its mission was to fight off the growth of import car manufacturers in the U.S. market.  The car was the cause of scandal and legal action in the 1970’s due to what has been described as a greater likelihood of gasoline tank explosions in rear-end collisions. As a result of these safety and overall reliability concerns, the Pinto was named one of the worst 50 cars of all time by Time magazine.  Happy Birthday Pinto! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Don't get stuck working with the Real ...

In order to qualify for the first time homes buyers tax credit of $8,000 your new home must close no later than November 30th. If everything goes right you should have your new home under contract by the end of October to make the deadline. However, we know that things do not always go as planed. After you do inspections, you might find problems with the house that can not be worked out with the seller or maybe you decide that there are to many issues and terminate the contract. There might be appraisal problems or maybe the lender just keeps asking you for more information. There are many thinks that can delay a closing. I would strongly recommend that if you are trying to use this tax credit, that you have your house under contract by the middle of October just to be on the safe side....

It's that time of year again, and this is one of my favorite times of the year in Dallas... The 2009 State Fair of Texas will take place at Dallas' Fair Park from September 25 to October 18, 2009. The State Fair offers more fun and more calories than you can imagine.  There's seemingly an endless amount to do and see (and eat) at the fair, and when you are done riding the rides, playing the games, choosing your next car at the auto show and checking out all the agricultural and crafts exhibits, be sure to check out the Chevrolet Main Stage for some great musical entertainment.  Opening night this year will feature American Idol finalist Jason Castro. General admission for the fair is $15 (Children and Seniors are $11) and Self Parking in the official lots is $10. For more details be sur...

  This weekend marks the kickoff of my favorite college football team - Oklahoma Sooners. We play our first game for the year against BYU at 6:00pm this evening. The game is telecast on ESPN. The game is played in Jerry Jones' new NFL Cowboys Stadium. I went to Oklahoma between 1996 to 1998, graduated with a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and most importantly, met the love of my life at school. We have a Sooner baby we call Boomer here on Active Rain. Naturally, I have very close ties with Oklahoma - by far the best school for college in America. I'm biased! Sooner spirit will be displayed proudly all over the DFW area today.   My college days with my Maxx Here at the Yeo household, even the Dawg is serious about Sooner Football.   Here's the Oklahoma Sooners 2009 Football Sched...

Can I use it as a downpayment?  I owned a house many years but have been renting the last three years, do I qualify? These and so many other of the questions people have are answered on our website.  The excitement of buying your first home, condo, or townhouse can change your life.  I remember first stepping into a hardware store looking for some tools, then paint, t...
