The Race of Champions

Finally, a fun car story. We’d so love to be a part of this, but alas we have no:

Junker
$500 to fix junker up

Bail Out

This is just horseshit. We made the vehicles that made us the most profit, didn’t invest the moolah in anything but big and it backfired on us, save us. This just goes to show you there is no free market.
What’s a good analogy to this story? Ah, how about… What if we sold tickets to [...]

Plug It In, Plug It In

While it may not happen in our lifetime (yeah, you, you old SOB you), it will certainly happen during the lifetimes of the children being born today: Electric cars will get most people from here to there.

Thanks to researchers in Ohio, our waste hear might not be so wasted any more. Well, it’s not ready yet, but the long-haired thinkers out in Oh Aych Ten have figured out something with something and then, boom, you gots yourself from power from garbage.
Yeah, we didn’t get it either. But maybe, down the road, [...]

Leases End

So you leased your SUV rather than buying it? Turns out that was a smart move. For you!
What’s gonna happen when folks start turning in these SUVs? We’ll tell you: pain. These SUVs are just going to sit and rot because no one’s gonna want these gas gobblers. Even if gasoline drops by 25% (ha!), [...]
