Just imagine how cheap and light - and thus economical - cars would be
if the industry made only  sub-2500 pound cars and  left off all the
complicated junk they add on just so they can charge more. I'm leaving
out the super-frivolous but minor stuff like the infamous warning light

Sheesh.
I drove through a school zone today.  When about half way through it, an
ambulance came up behind me.  I was in the second lane right of center.  The
lady on my left and just in front of me didn't see the ambulance.  I pulled

And you thought 5 mph was slow.

I found some even slower than that.  Aunt Judy, don't start drooling
over it! :)

At one time it seemed like every other car on the road was an Infinity
J30.  Yesterday I saw one for the first time in what seems like years.
What happens to all these relatively expensive Infinities, BMWs,
Mercedes, Jags??  It seems like they all just disappear when they are

Why do Prius drivers drive sooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooow?
Whenever I see one in the carpool line, I'm tempted to say "No thanks,
I'll walk to work."

A car with a speed limiter set at say 70 mph. Lots of people would love
that esp if they have teenage boys in the family.  And I'm sure
insurance premiums would be a lot less too.  To keep owners from
tampering with the limiter, the insurance companies could put a clause

OK, lets say that a viable electric vehicle is on the horizon:

The idea is to charge it up and it'll run for 300 miles.  It can be fully
charged in 5 minutes.  A family car would accelerate like a Ferrarri. ...

I added a gas-price page to my Web site.  Necromancer can find the $4

Tulas to unearth buried '57 Plymouth!

Saw that on SpikeTV. Wheel HP went up from 270 to 370. Parts cost over
$6000, and it was a labor intensive job.
Cool, but it doesnt appear to make financial sense. (V8 Mustang invoice
+ $ 6000) is more than the invoice on a Pontiac GTO or a SRT-8 series

In New Zealand's southernmost city, Mr Smith reportedly patrolled the
