Very clearly, change is happening fast for NonStop and even more importantly, it is becoming a whole lot clearer what is fueling the changes happening with NonStop.

Like so many other “Baby Boomers”, born in the mid 1950’s, I’ve always been fascinated by the automobile, particularly Detroit Iron of the mid 50’s through the early 70’s, the fin and muscle car eras. Thanks to generous parents and grandparents, I got my start with a nice collection of Matchbox die cast car and truck models that got a ... read more

However, this month, it’s been less about accidents and more about the clarity with which plans are being discussed. And yes, yet again, it’s about change as well!
