My 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara passed the state inspection today. I’ve been using this car for more than a year now and it has never given me any problems. The engine is running smooth and everything is as it was when I bought it. I believe this one will be with me as long as I’m in US.

George Strait

George Strait has become my favorite singer now. Great lyrics and soothing melodies. I became his fan by accident. I randomly picked up a CD from the library and loved the songs. Didn’t knew who George Strait was at that time. Then I went back to the library and checked out all of his CDs. Check out my George Strait radio station in Pandora.
