and antioxidants.

Great fun for the family!

Baby Boomers Say No to Sports Cars

The blogosphere buzz  the past few days has been about
Baby Boomers turning their backs on sports cars 
and opting for larger SUV vehicles.

Could this be about comfort?


Feeling the Sales Pinch

Sales at Ford Mustang are down by a whopping 32%! 

Followed by the Chevy Corvette down 14%
and the Chevy Camaro down 11%. 


These are some serious drops and it seems the
next generation just can't pick up where the 
Baby Boomer's left off.  

It will be a sad world not to see a Mustang or two
hurling down the road.

As far as we're concerned, be it an SUV, sports car
or vintage vehicle..................we tow them all!

Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a fall/winter vacation, please stay alert on the road!

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is equal to a .08 alcohol level.  
From 2009 - 2012, there's been an increase in fatal crashes involving large trucks.

The only way to protect yourself is to be overly aware while on the road and
learning a few defensive driving tactics to keep you safe.

 Some things to be on the lookout for:
  • Turning with a wide radius.
  • Straddling the center of the road or lane marker
  • Almost striking an object or other vehicle.
  • Weaving or zigzagging across the road.
  • Driving on other than a designated roadway.
  • Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course.
  • Turning abruptly or illegally.
  • Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit.
  • Stopping without cause in a traffic lane.
  • Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane).
  • Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway.
  • Erratic braking.
  • Driving into opposing or crossing traffic.
  • Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions.
  • Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start).

TBT: Pulling for a Cure

Last year we unveiled our new tow truck Pulling for a Cure, here's a look back.



George’s Customs Towing, a local towing company in Whiteford, MD recently unveiled a new addition to their fleet of trucks.  Pulling for a Cure hit the streets ten days ago at the Dover International Speedway NASCAR event, bringing awareness to breast cancer and all cancers.

Owner George Feilinger and General Manager Alisha Gibbons have been truly astounded by the impact their work vehicle, which was custom built by West End Services is having on the community.  Passers-by approach them and tell their stories, because as we all know – everyone in some way has been touched by cancer.  They met Cathy in a restaurant, once a 12 year breast cancer survivor and now the cancer has returned.  They met Joe whose grand-daughter Rebecca was struck down by childhood cancer.  They met Cheryl, a 10 year cancer survivor who has thrown her passion into cancer awareness through a local group Living Beyond Breast Cancer.



George’s Customs Towing has been swept up and into the Cancer Awareness Movement, their pink tow truck has become a testament of awareness and hope for the cancer community.  George’s Customs Towing has pledged to make a quarterly contribution to a local cancer group or individual in need. For George it’s personal; you will find a dedication on the truck in memory of his Grandmother Mary Glackin.  

 It’s not only about the survival of cancer; it’s also about the ability to thrive once the cancer has been contained.  This sentiment can be visually seen on the hood of the Pulling for a Cure tow truck, which was skillfully designed by Jack of Arts.  Billowing storm clouds ascend into rays of light representing the darkness that cancer brings and the light rays represent hope and healing.
Expect to see Pulling for a Cure at many local community cancer awareness events in Harford County.
