By Andrey Rudnitsky

July 15, 2007

Ever since I can remember, I have been a car guy or kid. While growing up, I always played with little matchbox cars. Throughout my entire childhood, I had collected nearly 300.

Introduction to The Quality Show

March 30, 2007

I am sure you are wondering what this website is all about. Well let me tell you. The Quality Show informs students. I get bored easily and I’m sure you do too, so we put an interesting spin on the information we provide.

Along with our staff, writers, and contributors we intend to inform college students on these issues.
