Kia Extending Partnership with NBA to the Draft

The NBA Draft is my Christmas. At 29 years old, the real, actual Christmas has lost a little bit of its luster for me, even though watching my toddler daughter open gifts has certainly added a whole new echelon of enjoyment to the holiday season. From a personal standpoint, though, I don’t lose sleep on Christmas Eve anymore. This Wednesday night, however—the eve before the NBA Draft—I absolutely will have a hard time falling asleep. Yes, that makes me a sports nerd, but there’s something about all these new players coming in and immediately affecting the futures of every organization in the league that I just love. The draftees, the trades, the drama… it’s all to the good, and apparently Kia—one of the autos that we at Ewald proudly sell—agrees. … Continue Reading

Chevy’s Sonic the Only Subcompact Made in America

Which leads me to the latest technology to be offered from Ford and its Sync platform. … Continue Reading

Ford Converting Recycled Capret Into Parts

When we’re all kids, some teacher or parent tells us the story of “The Ugly Duckling,” that age-old classic about a disgusting little fuzzball of a duck that ends up growing into a beautiful swan to the behest of all those who had previously teased him. It’s a great story to tell young people, who almost universally feel awkward and ugly at some point over their course of their childhoods, but it’s a story that applies far beyond just children. Well, and swans, too. … Continue Reading
