110MPG V8 WITH 500HP. NOW WHAT ARABS?

How would you like to put an V8 engine in your car that goes 0-60mph in 3 seconds and gets 110 miles per gallon? Too good to be true? Nope. Some fat guy in Ohio has made an engine that does just that. He's getting patents and is starting to fire up production on an engine that will make Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela - along with the Saudis - scrambling for cash to meet their jumping bean and camel chow addictions. *We get most of our oil from Canada... didn't know that did ya?* The guy has his own web page with a bunch of videos introducing his technology. Check it out here. But the video below basically sums it up pretty good. By the way, if you work for GM, drop a dime on this guy for chrissakes.

BAILOUTS, BAILOUTS, BAILOUTS

The news today was dominated by the prospective bailout of the auto industry.  While Paulson and Bernanke didn't seem to set the bar too high to hand out $300 billion to a bunch of bankers (86% of which was spent on bonuses), the car guys need to submit a "plan" for the cash.  I don't think anyone should be getting bailed out but if you're going to give billions to a bunch of white collar pricks who only use their hands to jerk you off; then why are the blue collar guys who actually make something with their hands getting a hard time?  Once again, my buddy Bob sums it up perfectly.  Stay strong.
