* Shelby and Mustang - Unbeatable at the 2007 TAWA Spring Challenge

Ford and Shelby once again proved to be a winning combination when TAWA announced the winner of the 2007 Spring Challenge. The 2008 Ford Shelby GT Mustang was challenged by over 66 different models from all manufactures in the hill country of Austin, Texas and the Ford Shelby GT won hands down.

With over 40 TAWA journalists driving 66 vehicles ranging from $16,000 to over $70,000 you definitely need to stand out in the crowd to win this top honor. In 2005, the Ford GT took the same top honors at this event.

Shelby once again has proven you can have fun driving this great icon and still get good gas mileage. The Ford Shelby GT surprised many journalists as it took the curves in the hills of Austin and was especially sure footed with lots of power to boot at 330 hp. The black and silver Shelby GT with a retro hood scope and lower stance won the hearts of many writers attending the event.

Listening to Mustang Sally on the Shaker 500 audio system is a force to be reckoned with while cruising through the hills of Austin.

The Ford Mustang has always been a vehicle with great value. This includes the V-6 model which gives customers great style, performance and gas mileage. Mustang owners in Texas have made the Mustang number one in the segment for many years. Customers may choose from many different packages like the Ford Mustang Pony, Ford Mustang Outlaw, Ford Mustang GT, Ford Mustang Warriors in Pink, Shelby GT, Shelby GT 500 and coming soon the Shelby Mustang GT 500KR King of the Road. Your choices are endless and so is the fun you can have when you experience Mustang ownership.

First Drive: 2007 Honda Civic GX

Previews Greenie spendthrifts wanted: A heavier, slower Civic with a smaller trunk. Oh, yeah, and it costs 50 percent more. Never mind that we in Michigan are just emerging from our igloos after a long cold winter. The world is heating up, the ice caps are melting, and when that melt is complete, we’ll all be living high in the mountains in houses on stilts to stay dry. Forty days and 40 nights the waters will rage, and when the ice caps refreeze, we’ll all be fighting over who called first dibs on those last two pigs for our celebratory barbecues, since the unicorns were already eaten by sharks. There are people who would argue that that sinister little creation, the automobile, is responsible for it all. We blame Al Gore, China, sweatshops, and greenie celebrities who flit about in private jets. Those who want to make a difference drive hybrids, while those who researched their decision drive diesels. Those who are truly enlightened and want to make a difference, however, seek someth...
