Highlights: part two

Tuesday, my dad took us to the old Studebaker museum downtown. I honestly didn't have huge expectations for a bunch of old cars, but I actually had a good time. I think the funnest part was probably watching RC and Neil drool over the fully restored muscle cars that were 40+ years old. It was kind of like watching Tim Allen on "Home Improvement"...complete with grunts, groans, and listing of car stats with every new shiny piece of metal.

One of the things that caught my eye were these strategically placed signs throughout the museum that read "give more than you promise". I didn't think much on it at first, but it really struck me a little harder as my dad pointed out how much effort and detail went into each car. I later learned that the reason Studebaker is no longer in business is because of the effects of World War II. However, before they went under, Studebaker was one of the leading motor vehicle manufacturers and actually put South Bend, IN on the map. I'm not sure the exact reason for the company's success, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with them giving MORE then they promised. Maybe not a bad line to live by. So I thought..."wow...that's gotta be a Jeanne-ism."
