Video of the Week:
Jerry's Video...

This video was shot at an airport just north of Dallas. An SUV runs a stop sign and into the path of a landing airplane. Luckily, nobody was injured, but the SUV did not fare as well.

                                                    Kevin's Video...

A few years ago, late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel invited his audience to send in videos of them telling their kids the morning after Halloween that they (the parents) had eaten all of their candy. The tradition has continued and here's a compilation of this year's best (and worst) videos: (be sure to watch to the end).

Tribute to VETERANS...

  

  

This Sunday is Veteran's Day. In honor of all who have served in our Armed Forces, and those who serve today, we offer this Tribute to Veterans, and say thank you for your service to America from all of us at the Car Pro Show...

  

  

It is the VETERAN not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag,

It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

May God Bless them all!

 
Guy Fieri's Corvette...

When it comes to finding a celebrity to help out in a pinch, General Motors is increasingly calling on Guy Fieri, host of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives on the Food Network.

The blonde, spiky-haired, wisecracking Fieri showed up this week in Las Vegas, where he showed off the "cooked up" Chevrolet Corvette C6 special edition. He was there as a kickoff for the SEMA trade show, the big aftermarket parts show for the auto industry.

The Corvette will be auctioned off for charity in January.

Fieri loves cars in general and the vintage Chevrolet Camaro he drives on his TV show in particular. He showed up before to help out GM last summer to pace the Indianapolis 500 in a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. He brought two of his personal Camaros to Detroit in August for the Woodward Dream Cruise, the annual festival of vintage cars that rolls down one of the Motor City's major boulevards.

Fieri isn't all about Chevrolets. Car Pro Weekly readers will remember the trauma he suffered a year ago when his Lamborghini was stolen from a San Francisco dealership. It disappeared for months before recovered from a Marin County, Calif., storage facility.
