Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station at Texas World Speedway!
July 23rd, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Did you know…. 
- As a driver, you will make more decisions in one mile than a 747 captain does flying across country.
- Automobile crashes are responsible for more teen fatalities than alcohol, drugs and violence COMBINED.
August 16th I am sending my daughter to the Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station.
No- she is not a bad driver. She is just a teen driver. The TWS TSDA (Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy) is NOT a racing school! It is designed “to place students in real world scenarios and show them how to take control and avoid dangerous situations. They will work on collision avoidance and car control skills. Now that I think about it, I know a few adults (myself included) that should probably attend…
The Academy recreates dangerous situations and teaches (in a controlled environment) how to take control of the situations and make life saving decisions.
This is a 4 hour couse which includes classroom and hands on driving activities. With the instructor, the student is given tools to avoid an accident. Students are encouraged to bring their own vehicle that they will be driving on a regular basis. The activities are done at a low speed and should not hurt the car. If you don’t want to use your own car, one can be provided.
Parents are encouraged to attend the 4 hour course too!!!
So, get your teenager registered and join us. And come back to this blog again to see the photos and videos of the event. I bet we can all learn something together.

New First Time Home Buyer Tax Credits!
February 18th, 2009 Categories: Community Events
First Time Home Buyers get a big tax credit the year they purchase the home!!!
“Yeah, but I gotta pay it back over the next 15 years right???” WRONG!!!
The New Stimulus Bill Has Changed the First-time home buyer credit: It has increased to $8,000 for qualified first-time homebuyers purchasing homes after Dec. 31, 2008 and before Dec. 1, 2009; repayment requirement waived unless sold or no longer principal residence within 36 months
“So I can get a $8,000 tax credit for buying a home and dont have to pay it back???” RIGHT!!!
Only a few fairly modest “Stipulations” including:
-Credit is 10% of purchase price up to $8,000… If you purchase a home that is less than $80,000 youll only be eligible for 10% LOL: “ONLY be eligible”
-The new $8,000 credit begins to phase out for individuals with incomes over $75,000 or married couples with incomes over $150,000 filing jointly.
This is awesome news for most first time home buyers in College Station TX!!!
If you are a first time home buyer or are interested in more information Please Call Jefffrey Leatherwood @ 979.255.2788 or email Leatherwood@Century21.com www.BuyAggieland.com
