Is it true that because of the massive force and power involved with trains on railroads, they take some time to stop? I heard that because of it’s power once a train gets moving and gains momentum, it takes it a while to stop. For example, someone told me that when they start actually going and they get up there in speed, they have to break like 20 miles before their actual destined stop in order to be able to stop there. I mean it does have a lot of power, which is why it can haul so many carts at one time, so is this correct?

I love to go barefoot everywhere (and I mean everywhere) at work and at home.

I see no sense in restricting our feet in tight fitting shoes when we have very capable soles on our feet.

I skimmed the Wiki hydrogen article this morning and was unable to find out if hydrogen is used as the primary fuel in today’s hybrid hydrogen/gasoline cars or if it is used to burn gasoline more efficiently with less carbon dioxide emissions. Can you answer this for me? Here is the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_car

Yesterday, I went to apply my Emergency Brake when I parked and it was able to be pulled all the way up with no hesitation!! This morning, I was driving and as the car is moving, I heard what sounds like a grinding or something stuck on the rotors....it doesn't do it much when I apply the brakes but when I drive, the noise gets louder like a rubbing sound. What could this be and approx how much to fix it?

I had a friend who got his truck repainted and he said insurance covered the whole thing because it was an improvement that brought up the value of his truck. Is that possible because my car really needs a new paint job and its only five years old?
