It's not that I think subsidies are automatically a bad thing, but I think offering them in a competitive market is counter-productive. Energy is important enough that we as a species really need the best option to win. Thermodynamically, we can't afford to support a loser. And having driven not only flex fuel, but…

Cool. So that means there are at least two DeLoreans out there with the license plate 'OUTATIME'. I've been waiting for 8-digit plates in CA for decades, just because I want to see that.

The cool thing about using SolidWorks is that you can build your part, then spec it to be machined from solid gold—or WATER!

I love my kiatechinfo.com! I like how Hyundai/Kia thinks. Want your cars to get a reputation for longevity? Make it easy for owners to do it themselves by providing free access to service manuals, parts manuals, and TSB's.

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought that was a Nurburgring sticker under the left tail lamp.
