Bridgestone said on Monday that it would buy Pep Boys, the car parts retailer, for about $835 million in cash, to gain a big increase in retail locations.

When I was working, running my own businesses, I averaged about 35,000 miles per year. Five years of that put lots of miles on vehicles. It is interesting to look at cars for sale on Craigslist and see how many mile lots of relatively young cars have on them.

Most people who buy a new car every three years or so never own a car, for real, only on paper.

I have several friends that lease Hondas. The deal is this: once they get into the lease program, the monthly payments are less than new car payments, and Hondas hold their value so well, they get a new car every three years with no more cash down. So- if you are going to make a car payment...

I drove my 2007 Prius to St. Louis today to pick up my gal at the airport and got 44.6 mpg on 420 miles. It is a real kick to fill up for so little. On the return trip, I was thinking about what it would be like to be getting 84 mpg. The trip would have taken exactly 5 gallons.....instead of 9.4...

Hey, the Elio website says they are going to be in Springfield, Missouri, June 20th, 5-9 PM. Does anyone know how we can verify that info?

Slowin' down, huh.....

I was forced by an accident to replace my Scion xB sooner than planned, and as I have posted elsewhere, I bought a 2007 Prius a few weeks ago. I most certainly would be driving an Elio today if it were available. I am getting about 45 mpg on the road with the Prius, so it is better than the...

But, where would the gas cap go???? (on the convertible)

Hey, just get one of the smallest skull-caps that's legal, carry it with you and put it on at the gate. And, if they find you in a wreck, there is the helmet- musta been knocked off by the impact.....

Grass has to be really low for me to do any hoppin'!

Those screw pumps handle about anything that gets through a net. I had really not thought about it until you mentioned pumps, but the screw pumps make sense. Thanks for the co-ordinates. Pretty interesting that all the pool designs are so different. No cookie cutter work there. I'd sure like...

It is near the Waterfall Glen County Forest Preserve (a place you can look up) where the Cal-Sag canal runs into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Bilgerat's description is the best way to find it. It looks like the hull of a ship, and as you zoom in on the satellite shot, you can see the...

Thanks! What a perfect description of the pool. The view on Google Earth really shows how the thing works. After viewing the SEPA pool, I looked up some info that says the pools raise the dissolved oxygen levels as planned. As for the Elio coming, I keep hoping for it to show up somewhere near...

How is the water in the Cal-Sag since they started using it for wastewater?

Yep, with the days of the internet here and everyone having a camera in their phones, there will be more and more exposure of the "good ol' boys" deals than ever before. I understand what you are all saying about the need for service from a car company. I have found some dealerships to be great...

I 100% agree, William. Can't we discuss cars without demonizing someone? It IS a sad fact that the power of money can keep control of our country out of the hands of the populace. A company should have the right to sell it's products in any way the company sees fit. I just don't understand why...

With an intercooler, no doubt....

Here is a link to some great, if a bit old, info on fuel cells. http://www.enviroalternatives.com/fuelcells.html
