   One of the reasons you will find ads placed within articles is because they are more effective when run next to editorial content. You noticed the ads didn't you? When we sell advertising space, we want to make sure the client buying that space has the ...

   Hey John Brown, have you seen the movie Idiocracy? I'm a firm believer that this movie is more than simple satire, but an actual prophecy.

   If the "powers that be" in Washngton were serious about "change", the US market could be awash virtually overnight with small, lightweight, high mpg cars with only one simple change: formally recognize EU and/or Japan crash safety standards (which are for the most part every bit as good as the ...

    Okay, this scared me. It would be so easy to do. Ever clean a part with brake cleaner before welding? Even if I read the label, I wouldn't know just how toxic phosgene gas is. http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm Be careful out there.

    Are there any new cars with a larger back seat than the Taurus? Suggest those. Possibly also suggest a full-time van. Ask that a heart shaped window be installed in the back, "along with shag carpeting" and then wink at 'dad'. I'm not helpful this morning.
