Good morning, mi amigos. Welcome to another episode of 5 Minutes with Jim. Before the willowing winds of the Great Depression decimated the world’s economy, a 1929 study noted that GM, Ford and Chrysler dominated a full 75% of the market even though there were dozens of automobile manufacturers in the United States. On today’s episode I will introduce you to a few of the competitors.

On this weeks episode of 5 Minutes With Jim, it's high speed adventures of the off road kind. On February 12, 1908, a contest was launched that pitted man and machine against the wilderness. It was an epic auto race from New York City to Paris across the United States, and the trackless wilderness of Mongolia and Siberia.
This epic was but one of many events that proved the automobile was more than a side show curiosity. In 1912 a Brush Runabout was the first automobile driven across Australia. From 1908 to 1914 a series of races across the desert from Los Angeles to Phoenix grabbed the worlds attention.
This week on 5 Minutes With Jim, it's motoring adventures in an era when the horse was still king, and a road trip was a true adventure.
