Hot on the heels of my recent tire misadventure comes news that cars are getting to expensive to repair

And then there's aluminum. At least five cars come with all-aluminum bodies and frames, including the Audi A8, Acura NSX, Honda Insight, Mercedes CL, and the new Jaguar XJ8. So far, few body shops are authorized to fix these cars

On the positive side, I got over 62 mpg for the second day in the row yesterday, and I'm at over 60 for the trip into work. I'm starting to wonder if the fuel efficency indicator is messed up.

It'll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the Navy has to hold a bake sale to buy a battleship, but soldiers having to buy their own body armor is a bit much.

Mexico goes all yellow bike with some subway books.

How long before the Koreans ante up with a library train along the lines of their CineTrain ?

PS: 65.5 mpg on yesterday's commute. It reached 65.8 mpg at one point for a mile or so. This is a welcome change after the cold winter where I saw a few sub-50 mpg days.
