| 2008-04-28 14:16:55 |
Of the 42,000 traffic-related deaths each year, approximately 18,000 are said to be caused by alcohol. Considering most of these deaths (if not all) could be prevented, it makes sense to consider mandatory alcohol detection systems in all cars.
Studies have shown that current alcohol detection systems, known as interlock devices, do a great job of [...]...

| Toyota To Make Instant Fuel Economy Gauge Standard |
| 2008-01-10 16:06:53 |
Anybody remember the “motor minder vacuum gauge”? It measured the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold on a carburated vehicle.

| Special Ordering a New Tundra - The Skinny |
| 2007-12-21 21:39:06 |
Here’s the deal with “special ordering” a new Toyota. Technically, it’s possible. Realistically, it’s often too much trouble to bother with.
