This site hasn't changed much since I was here last.:D

Because they didn't use the most up-to-date safest technology? Do a little research about lithium-ion batteries using phosphate based cathodes instead of cobalt-oxide bases cathodes. Or even lithium-polymer with gel-type electrolyte. Technology advances on as usual.

That is false and is belittling the true achievements of our current economy. Sounds like you don't know the difference between the GDP and the GNP. GDP is......... http://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gdp.asp GNP is....... http://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gnp.asp Your...

Reuters | 11:54 am, February 14, 2007 WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Was the outcome going to be any different considering the history of Solomon Technologies? They are just looking for a free ride and in other ways are manipulating the stock market.

What came out was not the real science report, it was the "The IPCC Summary for Policymakers" that is put together by political appointees, not by the scientists themselves. The real report comes out in a couple of months. But of course the way they put it together makes it look like the...

http://www.gm.com/company/investor_information/sales_prod/ Oh yes, they are doing so bad.:rolleyes: When VW reaches even 500k units in the U.S. you let me know.;)

Let me preface this with the fact that I've helped build/convert three electric cars, drive a electric vehicle at work by choice, and am seriously thinking about converting my old '74 SunBug to electric. But the program you have seen is nothing but B/S hooey! With that said this article...

I had a 6.2L Suburban that had close to 350K miles on it when I sold it. Besides regular maintenance items the only things I ever replaced because of failure were a couple of injector lines. I know a few guys who are still running the so-called crapy 350 GM diesels and are well over 500k...

Maybe, just maybe they are designing a good diesel this time and don't want to put it out on the market until it is a viable product? This is a brand new design that they are working on with the full intention of putting in SUV's and light duty pick-ups. They won't sell it until it is ready.

"Stuff" coming in from where? If it is coming straight from the refinery it is to be expected. The distributor/sellor will be required to add lubricity additives to match their own formula that the want to sell at the pump to meet ASTM D975 lubricity standards. We've had ULSD for fleets up...

My '74 SunBug fell off a jack stand once and bit me!:D Good thing I was only partially under the car at the time.

This I know. I tested a new Mercedes ML350 and found that the quality of it wasn't much up to par. The transmission would develop a mind of its' own and do such a severe downshift slowing to a stop it would actually make the tires squeal. And then the rear hatch twice flew open on its' own...

You are about 7 years behind and very ignorant of the proper procedures concerning hybrid cars when they are involved in a crash. http://www.extrication.com/ERG.htm Hybrid Myths Like the article said. Start educating yourself to hybrid technology.
