It is also fun to pull unsupecting drivers on the highway when the lane ahead opens up.
Low sulfer fuel is supposed to be here in 2007. I bet it doesn't happen though.
I predict that the future will be diesel powered electric motors in cars. Just like trains.
Every Prius owner I have talked to only gets 44 mpg. And they say it with a depressed voice.
