From back when car commercials intentionally showed that cars were made for having fun.

My own first car was a 1969 Pontiac Tempest.  Even with a 2 barrel carburetor and a stock single exhaust, it would do some serious performing.  Over 300 horsepower on the base model.

Sometimes you wonder when you see something: “How do they come up with that stuff?” the following gadget is just one of those things, it’s called the VroomBox.
Sounds interesting, but what the heck does it do you might ask? – Does it go vroom? What the heck is it?

This week I watched gasoline prices get lower and lower as I commuted from Texas through Oklahoma and Arkansas.  From $3.80 last Sunday, down to $3.33 today in AR and OK.  Higher in Texas.  (By the way, I like to check gas prices before I buy in order to get the best deal).

A colleague of mine tells me his wife says there is no gas to be found in their area in North Carolina.  What?!  Getting lower in price for some while not available to others…

Well, if you are looking for all the answers about why the price of gas goes up and down every time the weather changes or violence is reported or the mortgage crisis peaks or Britney Spears gets in trouble, then you came to the right place!  That is because misery loves company, and you are in good company with all of us other folks who just don’t get it.
