Seem like most complaints are about American car dealer and cars - I have no love for Detroit -maybe competition is a good thing - isnt it funny (in the early 40s) how we could land a fighter, at a speed of about 150 mph in a thyhon on a runway on TWO wheels ( oh maybe it was abs brake - but lets not give it to the public - too expensive) and Detroit could not stop my car from sliding sideway at 30 mph on a fairly dry road - then the matter of seat belts - if it wasn't for that guy ( i think is name is Nader) every pilot or some kid getting on the Cyclone in Coney Island wore a seat belt -- they had some lame brain - excuse like the public would not want to pay for them --- the cost would be too high well maybe Japan could do it and add a lot of extras for a cheaper price - everytime i think about some space ship going to some planet and sending pictures back for years and running robots for years with a battery about the size of my thumb nail - while i drive around with a 35 lb battery that only starts my car maybe four time a day --- and last about 4-5 years the rest of the time the elect is generated by the motor - not the battery ------ whose kidding who -- funny how we cant get the miles per gallon down -- i do think my old 57 Chev got about 12mpg and the new SUV probably get about the same 50 years latter ---- what no hurricanes !!!- to blame the price of oil to stay at over $80 --- maybe nobody will notice -- or we will think up some excuse like a brush fire in Kansans-- sure i know if we found a alternative fuel tomorrow the world economy would collaps and we would be back to the barter system i know Detroit does not deserves all the blame but bug business is Detroit sorry to vent - thanks for this web site - just saw on television a mother who downloaded a dozen songs found guilt and fined something like $9,000 a song Dont speed Big Brother is watching sorry i got off the track
