| why the hate for the automakers? | 30 Nov 2008 07:22 GMT | 13 |
The media as all about playing up how AIG and the bankers needed a trillion dollars in bailouts or the world would come to an end. It ignored the objections of the people. Just a peep about the government taking on Fannie and Fredie's obligations with the taxpayers' money. But

| Amtrak Train Collides With Car; Three Dead | 30 Nov 2008 01:39 GMT | 1 |
If you're going to beat a moving train to a railroad crossing, don't "Drive 55". It should not be too difficult to estimate what speed is required to clear the train safely before the impact zone is reached. This is the same skill that is required when merging into traffic. If

| Who was first to shut down cylinders not in use? | 29 Nov 2008 05:50 GMT | 24 |
I saw a Honda commercial this weekend toting their "innovative" design of shutting down up to 3 of the 6 cylinders in a particular engine when they're not needed. I could be imagining things, but I could have sworn I saw this long ago, Mercedes or BMW perhaps? Maybe it was

| union bashing | 28 Nov 2008 19:34 GMT | 2 |
The whole auto industry bail out has engendered a lot of union bashing. It should be kept in mind that the unions didn't just spring up for no reason. While they might have turned into monsters of a sort, they did serve a valid purpose and created needed reforms. As

| slighty OT:$45 billion for citibank. $0 for automakers. | 28 Nov 2008 15:43 GMT | 15 |
Citibank gets $45 billion of taxpayer money over the weekend without begging, without a plan, without anything but being a rockefeller business. On top of that, they get their garbaged backed to the tune of $300 billion. The media just mentions this as news, no commentary if

| Woohoo! $2 in the Victor Valley. | 27 Nov 2008 02:43 GMT | 12 |
$1.999 at the Pilot truck stop at I-15 and US 395 in Hesperia. $1.999 at the ARCO at Nisqualli and Hesperia Roads in Victorville. Yeah, I know it's much cheaper elsewhere, and I think even some SoCal locations dropped below $2/gallon already, but still, it's nice to see it here. It ...
