With the gas crunch such as it is and our dependence on other countries for fuel, I am seriously looking at alternatives for cars. What do you think about the new hybrid cars? Worth the risk? Do you think they will stick around and the price come down in a few years?

I cant seem to find this anywhere...in michigan, I know I have seen work vans that have no rear windows (standard ford econolines) to begin with, and have seen them with frosted contact paper on them. However, if the van is not a company vehicle, is it legal to have the rear windows constantly and completely obstructed? I am curious about this in both, Michigan and Colorado, as I figure it varies state to state.

THANKS!

I have heard that toyota is coming out with a new hybrid car that is similiar to the prius sometime in 2007. I heard that this car will be a plug in style electric and will also have a gas powered motor that will also charge the battery. It will suposedly be able to go 60 miles on the battery alone before the gas needs to kick in. Please help me find out what this car will be called, when it will come out, how much it will cost, and how i can sign up on the list so i can get one : ) all info helps Thanks in advance!

Or, is it such a small amount that the cost is negligable?

We don’t have to drive tiny cars, drill the Florida Coast or destroy valuable fields of corn to solve the gas crisis. We already have the alternative fuel we need. We can stop our absolute dependence on the Middle East and Exxon-Mobile in a matter of months. Seriously. The answer is simple and the fuel is already here, processed and ready to use. It's sitting on grocery store shelves and in deep fryers all across America.



The diesel engine was originally designed to burn vegetable oil. With a simple, cheap modification any diesel engine will burn vegetable oil. Ask your mechanic. Google it. It’s true. Not only will fresh Wesson get you there in a diesel, but the oil collected and dumped every day from restaurants and institutions across the country can be strained and poured right into your tank. How wonderful is that? A twice used fuel with no emissions and no dependency on anyone. No one. Not the Middle East and not the Oil Companies.



Tractor trailers criss-cross this country constantly burning thousands of gallons of diesel every day. Those engines could be modified to burn vegetable oil immediately. This would slash transportation cost, which is driving prices on everything we buy. Why don't we hear this on the news? Why aren't they shouting from the rooftops that every diesel from a Mercedes to a Tractor Trailer will burn vegetable oil? Greed. Imagine running out of fuel in the middle of the night. The only light in sight turns out to be a home. No gas, but Granny has vegetable oil in the kitchen. Pour it in your tank and you’re on your way. It's an oil executive’s nightmare.



The long and short term benefits of burning vegetable oil instead of fossil fuel are wide ranging. Fuel prices will drop to nothing. How does 40 or 50 cents a gallon sound? Without Co2 emissions Global Warming will return to normal, Child Asthma will virtually disappear and Los Angeles will lose it's infamous smog. Maybe best of all we will no longer need Middle East Oil. This takes countries like Iran out of the economic equation for us. They can't threaten us with oil we don't need. Sounds too good to be true, too easy to be real, but it's not. If we burn vegetable oil we will be healthier and wealthier, the Earth will begin to heal and our children will have a cleaner, brighter future.

.

We need cheap, clean fuel. The direction we choose now will plot a course for decades to come. Don't let Bought Politicians and Oil Companies decide our future on this. What's in our best interest is not in theirs.



You don't have to wait for someone else to do something about this. You can have your mechanic do it, or you can do it yourself. Visit www.GreaseCar.com and see how easy it is to burn Green. Take a look at the GreaseCar Profile below - He gets his fuel from the Thai Restaurant down the street. Pretty Exciting!

My husband and I (and my in-laws) are wanting to buy an electric vehicle or convert our vehicle into an EV. We have found a person (who wants to remain anonymous) in Dallas who will convert our vehicle for $20K. He claims he can get us 100+ MPH and charge in 3.5 hours with a range of 450-500 miles per charge. He runs another business making electric bicycles and golf cart sort of stuff. He says he has been doing this for 25 years and has just finished several racing cars to be EVs. He uses a hydrogen-cadmium battery. Anyways, what kind of questions should I ask so I know if I am getting a good deal?

I'm considering trading in my Jeep Liberty 03 for something with better fuel economy. I've been looking at diesel vehicles, and my options seem limited.

I just watched a girl run her bicycle into a parked car. I found it quite amusing despite her toppling over and probably scratching herself up pretty good.

Also, when my sister was first learning to drive, she was in an empty (except for one parked car) parking lot. She managed to hit that car.

Best "hitting the parked car" story gets 10 points.

I have several friends that I ride with and sometimes they just get so pissed off. I, on the other hand, hardly ever get pissed off. In fact, I've had some drivers cut me off or do some really stupid things. I didn't even honk.

I have full Ontario G driving license, and six years of experience of frequent driving auto, but I never driven manual in my life - would it help to take a special course to learn it?, how long does it take to learn?, would a good driver be able to learn it right away? (if no - then how come none of it is included in driving exams)
