Ecclestone to Mosley: don't come to Bahrain {Autoblog}
Apr 1st 2008 3:56PM I'm not sure about this. Where again do the people of Bahrain come down on:
1) hating Jews;
2) abusing women
Someone please remind me.
Chevy Camaro to be a 2010 model, not 2009 {Autoblog}
Mar 12th 2008 5:05PM I rather enjoy it when you make guys make it obvious how clueless you are.
2010 sells better in 2009.
You can mark something 2010 starting January 1, 2009.
It at least works for marketing. I don't know about taxes, but I'm sure that has an impact. I guess I'd have to read some automotive journalism to find out.
EcoMotors, Vinod Khosla and the Detroit Auto Show {Autoblog Green}
Jan 16th 2008 11:19PM Time for the annual pump-and-dump investor scheme. If you direct your attention backward, you'll see these things pop up every 6 or 8 years since, oh, about 1900. You can't get much better than 15%. It's no mistake that people are on the reciprocating piston and the rotary. They're just as good as the rest. Actually, they're better, because they've solved a lot of problems with friction and such. Mazda had something with the Miller cycle, but even they abandoned it.
Don't quickly abandoned the fundamental truism that these companies hire the best and the brightest, and they know the most. If the General isn't using it, it doesn't work, or it's not competitive in the marketplace. If it only take an inch of development, it's still something they thought of. Mazda spent untold millions on the wankel, because it was closest. This stuff.... pump and dump. Pump and dump stock scheme.

Ferrari's director general: "A hybrid Ferrari will come" {Autoblog Green}
Dec 5th 2007 12:33PM Ferrari makes fast red race cars. If hybrid is legal and faster, they will use it. If it is a rule of a series, they will use it. Otherwise, they will not use it.
If you want to win races, you have to be economical.
It's pretty straightforward. I don't perceive any malice or laziness w/r/t the environment in Ferrari's plan. If you don't like their plan, chances are you don't like the kind of racing they're in.
If Fiat were to come out and say they has some categorical bar against hybrid, then I guess I'd be surprised.
Semi full of ethanol crashes in South Dakota {Autoblog Green}
Nov 28th 2007 2:48PM Neat that you have this truck full of fuel, and it crashed, but now the environmental impact is so much less.
The ethanol backlash is accelerating; even the cows aren't happy {Autoblog Green}
Nov 28th 2007 2:42PM I'm happy. There are a lot of pumps where I live. And I'm not a farmer!
I like farmers more than I like terrorists. Ethanol is a good stop-gap to divert money away from unstable countries until we switch to electric cars.

Diesel VS Hybrid VS Ethanol, which is best? {Autoblog Green}
Nov 13th 2007 3:02PM This study seems to ignore the possibility of a diesel hybrid. Which, you know, is a pretty brilliant oversight.
If the first bite tastes like crap, do you throw out the whole dish?
