| Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper; pour over chicken. Seal bag and turn bag to coat chicken. Set aside for 15 minutes.Meanwhile, in another small bowl combine the remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, orange peel, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix well and set aside. Separate and peel garlic cloves; place on an 8-inch square of heavy foil; drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Wrap foil around garlic to seal.
For a charcoal grill, arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Remove chicken from bag or bowl, discarding marinade. Place chicken, skin side down, on the grill rack over the drip pan. Place garlic packet next to chicken. Cover and grill for 25 minutes. Remove garlic and cool. Turn chicken skin side up; brush with some of the honey mixture. Cover and grill for 25 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in chicken registers 170 degrees F., brushing occasionally with honey mixture up until the last 5 minutes of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust heat for indirect cooking. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill rack on unlit side. Cover and grill as above.) Meanwhile, drizzle grapes with 1 tablespoon honey. Place grapes on grill rack over coals or heat. Cover and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned and softened, turning once. Remove chicken and grapes to serving plates. Serve with cheese topped with garlic and drizzled with honey. |

There are bad rituals and there are good ones.
Bad rituals: Paying taxes, forgetting to bring a hat to Jazzfest, eating too much at Thanksgiving.
Good rituals: Tailgating at Saints games, eating seafood on Fridays and getting a minivan to go to the beach.
So here it is folks, my annual back-to-the-beach minivan report. Fortunately, like last year, I got a Dodge Grand Caravan SXT to take and I couldn’t have been more delighted. Ditto for my passengers.Loading Up
Three rows of seats, a cargo area that expands up to 83 cubic feet and a choice of three seating/storage configurations make for a lot of options when it comes to loading up people, beach towels and a vast array of junk food. Read the rest of the story: http://bit.ly/SmWSd

Jeep show draws enthusiasts from across the U.S.
Jeep show draws enthusiasts from across the U.S.Jeep owners said it is, indeed, ‘a Jeep thing.’By KEVIN HORANDaily Record/Sunday NewsUpdated: 07/20/2009 10:24:43 AM EDT
The center hosted PA Jeeps’ annual All Breeds Jeep Show, an event that feels like a carnival celebrating all things Jeep. The event attracts visitors from all over the country, PA Jeep president Wayne Fish said.
An enormous inflatable Jeep hovered over hundreds of revelers, many with cameras hanging from their necks, oohing and ahhing at rows of the souped-up 4x4s.
Vendors selling Jeep goodies such as kick panels, transmissions and tires set up shop along the edge of the center. Heavy-metal music blared from the back of one Jeep as its tires crunched along the gravel.
The obstacle course set up in the middle was the biggest attraction. A steady line of Jeep drivers forged over mountainous dirt pathways and gigantic boulders while spectators packed metal bleachers.
Mastering the course is what makes Jeeps special, said Brian DeBusk, of Elkton, Md. It also convinced DeBusk that the money he spent on recent upgrades, like a long-arm suspension system and locking differential, was worth it. Read the rest of the story here: http://ydr.inyork.com/ci_12872249

Mr. Norms Unveils 426 Hemi Dodge Challenger & Hemi Cuda Convertibles
Mr. Norms latest creations are a pair of convertibles based off the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8, the 426 Hemi Dodge Challenger and Hemi Cuda Convertibles. Taking design cues from the original 426 Hemi Challenger and 426 Hemi Cuda these vehicles are a modern rendition of the mighty Mopars which use to roam the streets in the 70′s. Each of these Challenger based vehicles incorporate E-body design elements from the early 70′s including a new grille inspired by the 1971 model for the Hemi Cuda Version, a shaker hood system, Hemi billboard graphics and ’71 Hemi Cuda taillight assemblies. Both vehicles receive a set of 20-inch forged multi-piece Mr. Norm’s “Thrust” custom wheels with ultra high performance Pirelli tires.Under the hood of both vehicles sits the 426 Hemi V-8 which utilizes a forged rotating assembly and a Kenne Bell supercharger that pumps out 725 horsepower. Keeping each of these vehicles firmly planted on the groundis Mr. Norm’s Hi Performance Rear Suspension system. The rear suspension utilizes the Viper SRT-10 spec Dana 44 differential mated to heavy duty driveshaft and half shafts.
On the inside the 426 Hemi Challenger and Hemi Cuda convertibles feature Katzkin black custom leather and suede seats accented with yellow top stitching along with a real pistol grip shifter.

In-Car Navigation Systems to go 3-D?
Navigation systems have quickly gone from being an interactive way to direct one from Point A to Point B to massive infotainment centerpieces capable of MP3 player integration, web browsing and wifi. Auto Express is reporting that GPS units could go 3D as soon as next year, because advancements in hardware could make the technology feasible with already available dual image LCD screens.
If you’re thinking that you’re going to have to wear those goofy paper 3D glasses to find the nearest McDonalds, that’s not the case. Faster processors and increased memory will enable the LCD to oscillate between two images fast enough to give the illusion of depth. The incorporation of important landmarks embedded within the 3D image ought to go leaps and bounds towards finding your destination easier.
In the near term, it’s likely that the functionality will first be available in aftermarket systems, with OEM models becoming available after the tech becomes a bit more mainstream. Actually, Clarion has been selling a 3D nav system in the UK for over a year and Sony and Panasonic have had the tech available in Japan, so it’s more a matter of when, not if, the tech will be available in North America.

Under the terms of these initiatives, Chrysler and the DOE would each pay half of a total investment of $448 million.
If approved, Chrysler says it will build a new-vehicle electrification technology and manufacturing center at an unnamed location in Michigan that would have the capacity to produce 20,000 vehicles per year. The initial programs would focus on building 100 plug-in hybrid versions of the Dodge Ram pickup truck along with 100 plug-in hybrid Chrysler Town & Country minivans. Further, 165 fully electric Town & Country cargo vans would be used by the U.S. Postal Service for daily mail service. Read the rest of the story with high resolution photos here: http://bit.ly/HnT99
