Auto Dealers Compete

According to the AP the Toyota Prius is the number one hybrid car on the road today.

The Prius gets 60 miles to the gallon in the city and 51 mpg on the highway. With numbers like that I can see why this car is so popular. Gas prices are ridicules and this type of technology helps to ease the pain at the pump.

The Honda Civic Hybrid comes in a second with 49 mpg in the city and 51 mpg highway.

Foreman, owner of Eastover Auto Supply in Oxon Hill, also coated the plates of his eight delivery trucks. He says they previously drew $1,200 in photo-radar fines but none since the application. And he has had no complaints from customers who have bought about 700 cans of the spray at his shop. “If it didn’t work, we would’ve heard about it,” he says.Furman Eldridge of Cheverly bought PhotoBlocker a year ago as “a defense mechanism.” He has enough faith in it that he says he gave a can to his pastor.”I’ve always been a law-abiding citizen,” he says. “You don’t want people speeding, but I don’t think it should flash you if you’re just going five miles over the limit.”

I rented a dodge charger about two months back and it had a built in port where I could plug in my ipod. I was usrprised and very exctied. It was very cool and worked great.
So when I turned in my car I had to go back to using the “tape to ipod” soultion. You know the 20 dollar tape you plug into your tape deck and it has a cord you then plug into your ipod. yes I know very low tech. Well my next car will have both Sirus radio built in and an ipod port.
