I am not a fan of stop/start but damn so much unecessary idling out there ! At the commuter rail station, at the supermarket while the passenger runs in for ‘just a minute’ ect ect ect. The last road trip I went on I stopped at a highway service center for a nature break and a snack. I parked beside a lady who was…

Lord I hope I am missing the sarcasm on this one.

Do a comparison test with the corolla hatchback.

In a somewhat related note, make sure your roller suitcase has good wheels. Cheapo wheels are ok on the smooth floor of an airport but on rough pavement, expasion joint sidewalks and the odd gravel stretch, not so good.

The meat whopper has 900 mg of sodium so why did they have to add more. And I don’t know about The Oz but here in canuckistan there is already some backlash against these meatless burgers. It is better for the planet but nutritioinists (?) are saying these are ultra processed food products and not healthy. Meatless…

I wonder if any technology was shared.

And don’t forget to refer to the chart that gives the variations in chain length depending on temperature.

So, its about 10 miles a week in a sunny place in the summer.  10 miles is nothing ?  Go drive a 10 mile distance, its further than you think.

Notice how Leno took a shot at Ford Taurus’.

I find that giving gas on a fwd car affects the steering. 

I believe that 15 ships number is the SOX and NOX and particulates and other “nasty stuff”. Bad no doubt. But I don’t think it applies to greenhouse gas production. As best as I could find 15% of GHG’s production worldwide comes from transportation, 3% of which is ships.( According to the EPA transportation is 29% of…

I find rwd is actually easier than fwd in the snow.  

That place is nothing but a demolition site with liability. I would not pay $1. I guess this guy found out its harder to convince investors than it is to scam people in desperate situations with no options.

Don’t forget the Lacoste polo and the Vuarnet shades.

Use a clothesline.  Cheap cheap cheap.

Lots of schools have a “no idling zone” which is a good thing but at the commuter rail station I always see morons idling away while they are waiting for someone, even when the weather doesn’t need AC or heat.

Wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, jaguars. Although the jaguars are not too reliable from what I heard.
