F1 teams debating introduction of KERS for 2009 {Autoblog}
Jul 24th 2008 5:24PM THANK YOU!! I read this thinking, "WTF is KERS?"
"The mechanical KERS system utilises flywheel technology developed by Flybrid Systems to recover and store a moving vehicle’s kinetic energy which is otherwise wasted when the vehicle is decelerated. The energy is received from the driveline through the Torotrak CVT, engineered and supplied by Xtrac, as the vehicle decelerates, and is subsequently released back into the driveline, again through the CVT, as the vehicle accelerates. The FIA has defined the amount of energy recovery for the 2009 season as 400kJ per lap giving the driver an extra 80hp over a period of 6.67 seconds."
That was easy.

Mar 28th 2008 10:26AM Since diesel is a solid $1+ more per gallon than regular why would anyone want a diesel right now. They aren't the deal they once were. It's a buyer's market for the first time in a long time for used diesel pickups.

Mar 11th 2008 10:46AM Maybe I'm old fashioned but oddly-shaped exhaust tips annoy me and turn me off immediately. The IS-F is by far the worst of the lot.

Forbes lists the best and worst states to own a car {Autoblog}
Feb 14th 2008 9:21PM I'm shocked to see MA show up on the "best" list. Moving from MA to NH saved me a significant amount of money- mostly because of the cost of insurance. They also charge you bogus excise tax based on the value of your car every year. Owning a car in MA sucks!
