While this may not appeal to the Hummer or Escalade crowd, the Scoot Coup certainly has some big things going for it, 70mpg for one. While it likely would not be a big seller in the ‘soccer mom’ market, it only seats two, it certainly shows some innovation. The Scoot Coup is open air, and […]
David Schussler So I’m sitting on the toilet, it’s six thirty AM, and I’m thinking about how good it is to be relieving myself of bodily toxins early in the morning. I’m going to have a good day. I’m remembering the lessons I learned while living alone in the bush and having time to understand […]

The price of oil is starting to take a bite out of the automakers. Oil is knocking on the dreaded door of being $150 a barrel.
