Corn Ehtanol real cost
I agree... but it's all about taking responsibility vs options. i posted a link in facebook "Baghdad: 5 years on" no wonder their economy is suffering because of what we what we are doing there. but there are compromises and there are ideals. we need more ideals in policy, less compromises.

Fuel/Oil market prices
another part of the lessening of gas $ are that the companies are reinvesting their huge profits into the refineries. a Governor candidate in missouri's primary would like to have a refinery in missouri... she's an educated economist but has been in Jeff City for something like 15 years. she's the treasurer right now. sadly the polls are against her to make it past the primary. she also wants to reduce the state's budget by $200-300 million.

2009 Lucerne 3900 fuel economy
prolly a little lighter, and a package that is more manageable in terms of size.... sounds like part of a dirty joke.

The Economy, Oil prices, and Globalization
globalized trade is fine, if it's free and fair....not like what we complain about japan for doing. political globalization is horrible. "Gold standard has nothing to do with it. It's the incoherent fiscal policy of the last two generations that have done it to us." well... there were several court cases involving paper money, or "bills of credit" before the fed and they all were dealt with seemingly correctly, and the constitution says the gov. shall not emit bills of credit.

Fuel/Oil market prices
not surprising. have you done what it recommends yet? i've been looking for some, thinking of buying some from the mint, and maybe some dollars online... 20 coins for a slight rebate.

Spy Shots: Chevy Cruze shows off its interior
looks good. it just seems that designers love to put tons of buttons in the center stack. how do people like the "3 spoke" wheels? i've not driven one, but i just tend to like to let my hand rest in the center bottom when it's lazy driving.

Computer Nerds Needed.
i could agree with oldsmoboi. if that's a last ditch decision, try finding registry mechanic, i've used it once, but only to delete unused stuffs. I use anti-vir @ free-av.com for my antivirus, haven't had a problem with it. maybe try running spybot S&D...?

Is a 1.4L Turbo the right answer?
.....maybe, but the sooner ww3 starts and ends then we can finally have warp drive.... yes, star trek reference.

What do you think of the Real Estate Bailouts?
I think everyone should see the movie, Meet the Robinsons. YAY another failure!!!!! just imagine if the depression never happened, or whatever "killed" tons of those auto manufacturers, and all those great car manufactures were bought/kept alive somehow or even got bigger. Duesenberg to rival Bentley. yay buyouts, for all that can't afford things the tax payers will get stolen from to pay for them. :puke:

Corn Ehtanol real cost
yes, but GM also showed all those fields of corn... if the would have shown they're trying to switch to a nonfood feedstock, that would be very helpful. I have nothing against ethanol, it doesn't work in my 99 MC, as long as I don't have to subsidize it to make it economical until cellulosic is widespread. that's tax waste, when we so don't need to be wasting everyone's tax dollars.

Kia Koup Concept
