    economics of 55 vs 70

    If you want better mileage cars then it is real easy. Shame the auto manufactures into building these cars that the public wants. There will be no need of fines or penalties added onto the window stickers. Simple you force the automobile companies who sell cars in the U.S. to compete against...

    economics of 55 vs 70

    You need a Mini Van or SUV to haul them around. They don't make those 6-8 passenger station wagons any more.

    economics of 55 vs 70

    I run my Volvo 97 960 at a max of 65 mph. That will get me between 28.5 and 29.5 mpg on a long road trip. If I set the cruise at 70 mph the mileage drops to 25.5 mpg. Between Pittsburgh and Naples Fl. the increase in time is less than 1 hour. I make up a little time in the 55-60 mph zones by...

    Carl Edwards fined 100 driver points

    Edwards was allowed to keep the victory in the UAW-Dodge 400 -- his second consecutive win in NASCAR's top-tier Sprint Cup Series -- but he was stripped of 100 championship points. That dropped Edwards from leading the season's early point standings to seventh, and lifted Kyle Busch into the top...

    R&T Tests the most famous race car ever.

    Residing just aft of the front axle was an 8.0-liter quad sequential turbocharged V-12 that pumps out 1700 bhp at 8000 rpm and 1400 lb.-ft. of torque at 5500. With the car tipping the scales at a lean 2455 lb., I addressed a few concerns before firing up the engine. One was aerodynamics: Would...

    Nothing like using every inch of runway

    LCD vs ARX for maintenance.

    You could use either. My Volvo 97 960 (88K) gets 7K miles a year per put on her. 95+ percent of that mileage is interstate highway. I have LC20 in the crank case. In my 87 745 Turbo (359K miles, 77K on engine) that gets around 12K miles a year mostly short trips I have Auto-Rx in the crankcase...

    Paintless Dent removal

    Had a dent in my hood taken out. Looked like some kid bounced a baseball off it. The local Volvo dealer down in Bonita Springs Fl. took it out for $65. Well worth it at the time. I'd say 95% of it came out. Unless you are sitting it the drivers seat and are as tall as I am 6'4" you will never...

    Is the repo man coming after you?

    In the drive thru line this morning at Micky Dees the woman in front of me used a credit card for her coffee. We don't have $2 cash to pay for a cup of coffee ? I've seen people get shut down at the ATM and then pull out a credit card for a cash advance. Best one was the guy with an Escalade...

    Daytona 500

    Three thirty start. I can bet you they irritated more that just a few people. Everything I read said the starting time was two thirty. Next year I'll find something to do until three thirty.
