As we like to do each year on July 4th, we're giving you <strong><a href="http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html">just one bit of required reading</a></strong> before you head out for all the festivities. Without that document, we have nothing to celebrate, but because of it and the courage of those who fought for its ideals, we have 233 years of history to commemorate today. <br /><br />So, Happy Independence Day from all of us here at Autoblog. Drive safely and have fun!
