Housekeeping: Happy Fourth of July 2024

by Tim Healey

Published: July 3rd, 2024

As you know, tomorrow is the day in which we celebrate our nation's birth by blowing up a small part of it (thanks again, The Simpsons, for that wonderful quote).

So we'll be taking the day off to celebrate America's independence by grilling, shooting off fireworks, whatever. I personally am not going to set off fireworks -- not really safe where I live -- but I will be watching as others do. I might fire up the grill, too.

Friday is a trickier day for us. Technically it's not a corporate holiday for us, but it is a Friday after a holiday and before a weekend. So we'll be around, but our article output is likely to be low.

So enjoy the Fourth. Don't drink and drive, don't blow off any body parts with fireworks (it really is best to leave them to the pros), be safe in general, and we'll see you on Monday.

Enjoy the holiday, everyone.

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.

TheflyersfanI have a 2009 C6 Corvette with LS3 6 speed and Billy Boat fusion exhaust System. It’s a-lot of fun and sounds mean, and of course all my boys want it. I let my 18 year old son drive it to Homecoming last year.

Carsofchaos I'm almost 50 and make a good chunk of change. I've had over 50 cars....everything from a Hudson to a Hellcat. I've never considered or even looked at buying a Caddy. That should tell you most of what you need to know.
Teddyc73 "And the cost of the electricity needed for charging is almost certainly minimal." Do you get an electric bill? I do. It's gone up significantly within the last three years. Regardless of what the cost is the electricity in that garage is not being paid by you but instead by the owner of that garage. Why on Earth do you think it is ok to take for free the electricity someone else is paying for? "oh but it's minimal!" This article is absolutely unbelievable. I think we need more utility bill education .
