Americans are broad-minded people. They'll
accept the fact that a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife beater,
and even a newspaperman, but if a man doesn't drive, there's something wrong
with him. - Art Buchwald

July 2007 (Medialink) - The designs of seats and
head restraints in 21 current SUV, pickup, and minivan models are
rated good for protecting people in rear impacts, but those in 54
other models are rated marginal or poor. Another 12 are rated
acceptable.
The latest evaluations of occupant protection in rear-end collisions
by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the
seat/head restraints in more than half of light truck and minivan
models fall short of state-of-the-art protection from neck injury or
whiplash.
The ratings of good, acceptable, marginal, or poor for 87 current
models are based on geometric measurements of head restraints and
simulated crashes that together assess how well people of different
sizes would be protected in a typical rear crash.
(NewsUSA) - True or false? The best time to
check your tires is when they are warm (soon after being driven several

New Electric Concept Car Unveiled
at The 2007 Detroit Auto Show; Chevrolet Volt Could Eliminate Trips to the
Gas Station Altogether
1/22/07 The concept car, called the Chevrolet Volt, is a
battery-powered electric vehicle that uses a gas engine to create
additional electricity, thereby extending its range.
The Volt can be fully charged by plugging it into a
110-volt outlet for approximately six hours each day. When the
lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the Volt can deliver 40 city miles
of pure electric vehicle range. When the battery is depleted, a one
liter, three cylinder turbo charged engine spins at a constant speed, or
revolutions per minute (rpm), to create electricity and replenish the
battery.
The
Chevrolet Volt is just the first of what General Motors is calling the
“E-flex system.” The Volt uses a large battery and a small one liter
turbo gasoline engine to produce enough electricity to go up to 640 miles
and provide triple-digit fuel economy. These multiple propulsion systems
fit into a common chassis using electricity to help the world diversify
energy sources. With this new E-flex concept, General Motors can produce
electricity from gasoline, ethanol, bio-diesel, or hydrogen.
