Prometheus Had It Easy: I Need a Little Help and There Is Money Involved
According to Greek mythology, Zeus was really mad at the titan Prometheus for giving fire to mankind. As punishment, he had Prometheus chained to a rock and sent an eagle to eat his liver. Making it worse, Prometheus' liver would heal every night, and the being eaten alive thing started over every morning.
OK, maybe my problem isn’t as bad as that – but thinking about it does make my liver hurt a little.
Here’s the thing – did you know that AutoNetTV publishes over half a million articles on websites every year? There are two pools of articles from which our systems select a weekly article at random to be published on the websites of about 10,000 automotive service center subscribers. They use the articles in social media, in newsletters, and as customer education information for recommended or declined services.
So the libraries have 730+ articles in them – and I have to write about 120 new articles every year. You starting to see the Prometheus thing? I’ve got to come up with a lot of NEW material every month to stay on top of this.
Yeah – I could use a little help.
If you’re a motorist, what are some things about the automotive world that you would like to know more about? Services, repairs, safety, technology, saving money, history, the future, training – whatever.
If you’re an automotive professional, what are some of the things that you wish civilians knew – stuff that they should read on your Facebook page or Twitter feed?
To show you I mean business, I’m going to put all the ideas into a bucket and select an entry at random. The winner will receive a $50 VISA gift card. The more suggestions you make, the more chances you have to win.
50 bucks! You could buy liverwurst sandwiches for the whole family! Sorry, that was in poor taste.

8 年Since Consumer Reports, Car and Driver, etc. can't or won't report on what vehicles really are junk or the real cost of ownership for the majority of people who do not buy a new car before our warranty has achieved ambient temperature or cannot afford new. Items like the fuel level sensors on Hyundai Santa Fe's from at at least 2006 to 2010, or GM's wiring to the Passkey breakage record, or any of the newer vehicles' cost to replace the lock cylinder. Warranties are all fine and dandy until they expire....and then you are stuck with horrendous bills or an extra $1500 extended warranty. Known common failures, whether the manufacturer acknowledges it exists or not can be found on the interweb, but the prospective buyer of a used car needs a data base to start looking before, instead of after they bought the vehicle. I wish you all the good fortune you can handle and then some, Lance!

8 年Great article Lance. Hope you are doing well. I run into the same issue with new topics for articles and speeches - but I've found that sometimes it's doesn't have to be new stuff - but just different ways of looking at the old stuff! Keep on keeping on man!
