For as much as I like the history of the Toyota Motor Corporation, the engines that they design and produce; and their products such as the Supra, Crown, HiAce; and the Land Cruiser, to name a few; though I am still loyal to the Detroit 3 automakers of the United States, I have never been happy with Toyota’s involvement with NASCAR that has been present coincidentally with the modernization of NASCAR that has taken place since the beginning of the 21st Century.
An article about Toyota’s ridiculous involvement in NASCAR:
A young lad sitting down in one of the available seats in Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran, Iran.
Thank god this young lad does not sport a ridiculous Undercut haircut.
Mehrabad International Airport was constructed in 1938, and was designed by the Azorean-American architect William Pereira.
Mehrabad International Airport was the airport where Sayed Bozorg “Moody” Mahmoody had flown with his wife Elizabeth Mahmoody and their daughter Mahtob Mahmoody into Iran en route to keeping his wife and daughter in captivity in the Islamic nation; prior to Elizabeth Mahmoody and her daughter Mahtob being smuggled out of the country and over to Turkey; and it was from Turkey where they would make their journey back to the United States.
I do not like the young lad employed by Fleetwood RV/American Coach pictured in the weblink below wearing a button-up denim shirt sporting a ridiculous Undercut haircut.
America has never once imported luxury in the form of a motor coach. Check out these American Coach motorhomes — American luxury RVs made in the Heartland.
I would especially be tougher on the type of people that the Warren Consolidated Schools school district serving Warren, Michigan; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and Troy, Michigan hire as drivers, and I would install a device that is advertised in the magazines titled ‘School Bus Fleet’ and ‘School Transportation News’ that tracks drivers’ driving habits, abuse; and negligence to their assigned School Buses; and I would also install another device that is also advertised in the aforementioned magazines about the School Transportation industry that blocks both the radio and satellite signals from drivers’ personal cellular phones to keep them from using their personal cellular phones at any time while they’re inside their assigned buses.
The Macomb Intermediate School District, which overlooks each and every one of the school districts in Macomb County, Michigan (including the Warren Consolidated Schools school district) already has very strict guidelines for the type of people that they hire as drivers.
More photos of James Hinchcliffe wearing his ridiculous Undercut haircut, and also photos that depict the fact that James Hinchcliffe needs to get a life when it comes to sports and fitness, that he needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight; and James Hinchcliffe also needs to come into realization that the worlds of amateur/ham radio and commercial radio and television are much more important and much more interesting than the world of sports and fitness.
I must admit that James Hinchcliffe’s hair looked better like this:
Japanese nationals who while traversing New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Japan and also sporting ridiculous Buzzcut haircuts and razor shaved heads; should be forced to wear a wig; or wear their natural hair like the two boys pictured below:
However, this time around; the Forward/F-Series will be sold with the same 4HK1 diesel engine that had always powered the Elf/N-Series since Isuzu had put the 4HK1 Diesel Engine into production, and not the 6HK1 Diesel Engine that the Forward/F-Series had been sold in the North American market in the past.
The 4HK1 is the 6HK1 with 2 cylinders removed to create a 4-cylinder engine.
A Front Engine and a Rear Engine chassis-both of which would be based on the Isuzu Forward/F-Series would be the only chassis that would be available on both the Front Engine and a Rear Engine versions of the Blue Bird All American if General Motors and Isuzu had each purchased a 50% stake in Blue Bird.
See this earlier post for more information about Blue Bird All American should General Motors and Isuzu had each purchased a 50% stake in Blue Bird:
I am happy to hear that General Motors had purchased the building that is the cornerstone of their founding of their company in 1908, the building of their predecessor company-the Durant-Dort carriage company and is now operating it as a museum.
If it weren’t for the Durant-Dort carriage company, there would have never been a General Motors.
General Motors opens the restored Durant-Dort Factory One, considered to be the company’s birthplace and epicenter of the global auto industry, Monday, May 1, 2017 in Flint, Michigan. Once home to the Flint Road Cart Co., the restoration preserves a significant aspect of the shared heritage of GM and Flint, and creates a community space to help spur economic development in the city.

WJLB-FM, along with it’s sister station WJLB-AM; were owned by Booth American Company from when John Lord Booth had purchased the AM station in 1939 as WMBC-AM (the call letters had stood for Michigan Broadcast Company) and had changed the call letters to WJLB-AM to stand for Mr. Booth’s initials; and the FM station, which can be traced back to the year 1940 when Mr. Booth had applied for a license to operate a station on the newly allocated FM band
WJLB-AM was best-known for being the home of Martha Jean “The Queen” Steinberg, who had arrived at the AM station after having spent the past 3 years at WCHB-AM after having in turn, arrived there in 1963 from having worked many years prior at WDIA-AM in Memphis, Tennessee (since 1954, to be exact). At the time Ms. Steinberg had arrived at WCHB-AM in 1963, she had just divorced her husband Luther Steinberg and she had taken her 3 daughters to Detroit with her.
In 1941, John Lord Booth had put on the air experimental station W49D; the second FM station in the entire state of Michigan after crosstown rival The Detroit News had put APEX radio station W8XWJ (which later became W45D, WENA-FM; and by 1948-WWJ-FM). W49D was later granted commercial service in 1945, assigned to operate on 94.5 KHz and was also assigned call letters WLOU-FM, was assigned to operate on 97.9 KHz with the call letters WJLB-FM for the first time around, was assigned the call letters WBRI-FM sometime in the 1950’s, was assigned the WMZK-FM call letters sometime in the early 1960’s with an Ethnic format, and last; had swapped call letters and formats with WJLB-AM in 1980.
When Booth Broadcasting had swapped the formats of both their AM and FM stations in 1980, they had dropped Martha Jean Steinberg’s radio show in the process; leaving Ms. Steinberg without a radio home for 2 years until she would eventually purchase WMZK-AM outright from Booth Broadcasting in 1982, and change the call letters to WQBH-AM/
The call letters WQBH stand for two things: The Queen Broadcasts Here and Welcome Queen Back Home, in reference to “The Queen” being Martha Jean Steinberg’s nickname.
Booth Broadcasting would merge with another company called Broadcast Alchemy to form a newly merged company called Secret Communications, which would be very short lived as just a few months following the merger, the Booth family would sell their only station by this time-WJLB-FM to Chancellor Media in 1994. Chancellor would eventually be folded into Clear Channel Communications.
The Booth family had also owned a number of newspapers throughout the United States-being the Grand Rapids Press, Flint Journal, Muskegon Chronicle, Kalamazoo Gazette, Saginaw News, Bay City Times Jackson Citizen- Patriot; and the Ann Arbor News.
Last, as previously mentioned; the Booth family had also owned a number of other radio stations throughout the country-being WBBC-AM in Flint, Michigan; WSGW-AM in Saginaw, Michigan; WIBM-AM in Jackson, Michigan; and WJMO-AM/WXEN-FM in Cleveland.
Below are news articles about Martha Jean Steinberg, and when WJLB-AM chiefly became an R&B/Soul-formatted radio station in the late 1960’s:
The commercial below from 1988, with all of the bodybuilding and fitness gurus in this commercial; is concurrent with how much modern NASCAR drivers Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Casey Mears, Johnny Sauter; and Regan Smith, Indy Car driver James Hinchcliffe; and Formula 1 drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button all are.
The commercial below drives home the point that the NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 drivers mentioned above need to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
As the music that WJLB-FM has played ever since it had swapped formats with WJLB-AM/WMZK-AM in 1980 is the music that Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Casey Mears, Johnny Sauter, James Hinchcliffe, Nick Heidfeld; and Johnny Sauter all listen to, this commercial also drives home the point that ALL of the NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 drivers mentioned above need to be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listenng music.
It must have been very pleasant for Charles, Prince Of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales to be transported in the Cadillac branded GM B-platform sedan pictured below during their official state visit to South Korea (the southern, Democratic; and non-totalitarian half of Korea) in 1992.
This would be Charles and Diana’s very last state visit together as a married couple prior to their separation shortly after this state visit to South Korea and their eventual divorce in July, 1996.
The fact that Diana was killed in a car accident as a result of being transported in a Mercedes-Benz W140 owned and operated by the Al-Fayed family is very sad, and is still something that yours truly still can’t overcome to this very day.
Let me put it to you this way, I can’t ever overcome Diana’s death just like I can’t ever overcome the election of The Evil Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Had Diana been chauffeured by the Royal Bodyguards and not the Al-Fayed family’s bodyguards, she would have more likely still been alive to this day because the British Royal household has far stricter guidelines and conditions for their drivers and chauffeurs than the Al-Fayed family ever did.
Like Queen Elizabeth II, I too am against the Commonwealth nations such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, India; and Pakistan possibly ever becoming independent Republics; and also the possible fragmentation of Scotland, Wales; and Northern Ireland away from the United Kingdom.
