Almost 50 years after its inception, the Ford Mustang – the founding nameplate of the “pony-car” segment – continues to evolve in exciting ways. The 2013 Ford Mustang undergoes a refresh that honors the model’s heritage while delivering what Ford calls “a sleek representation of modern raw power.” The Mustang team held fast to a design philosophy summed up in the phrase: “Build on excellence.” The result is the 2013 Ford Mustang, a synthesis of fresh styling enhancements, powertrain upgrades and technology advancements that raise this performance icon to new heights.

April is Car Care Month
by Jerry Reynolds


People who listen to my radio show know that I am a huge believer in doing maintenance to a vehicle. When I talk to listeners who have unusually high mileage cars, there is always one common denominator, and that is they are diligent with their maintenance habits.  Every April, the Car Care Council brings attention to the importance of doing routine maintenance on your vehicle. Last year, they looked at cars all across the country, and an astounding 84% of them needed service or repairs. Some of those were minor like windshield wiper blades, but others were more serious and alarming.

While names like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terry Bradshaw and Andre the Giant are well-known athletes turned actors, here are some with athletic backgrounds that might surprise you.
