Having a car and being able to quickly and easily get from point A to point B is something many of us take for granted... until a problem arises.

In this episode, CareerTech Horizon hits the road, driving through Oklahoma's auto industry.

Our first stop is the Oklahoma City Auto Show, bringing together auto dealers and enthusiasts to spread the word about the opportunites of the auto industry to young hopefuls.

We visit one auto service education program, mixing in alternative fuels into the curriculum, and the importance of playing it safe around natural gas, electric, and hybrid cars.

We fire up the not-so modern marvel of the internal combustion engine, and the oil-based fuels that power it.

Finally, we look at the bigger picture of Oklahoma's auto manufacturing industry, and how leaders are planning to build it up all over the Sooner State.
