'Til Death: The new According to Jim? {TV Squad}
Oct 28th 2009 7:29PM The first season was great. It was funny and the characters were good. 2nd season, they dumped two main characters and ruined the show. 3rd season, another re-boot and no they are white trash and ruined the show
Ford cranks up Focus production to meet C4C demand {Autoblog}
Aug 13th 2009 10:54AM I traded my '97 S-10 for a 2009 Focus SES Sedan. Maybe it's an older chassis but it sure rides good, gets good mpg, comfortable and looks good to me. Sure, it's not a Euro Focus but it's darn good though! I got almost $8500 off sticker with my deal. Can't beat that. I did not like the Cobalt and could not get a good deal on either a Suzuki SX4 Sport or Mitsubishi Lancer. Both of those only qualfied for $3500 since thier mpg's were less than the Focus.

Ford launches Cash-for-Clunkers eligibility calculator {Autoblog}
Jun 26th 2009 10:51AM My '97 Chevy S10 qualifies as it is rated at 17mpg by the EPA ( I average 23mpg combined).
So I can trade it in for $4500 towards a 4 cylinder Fusion. Too bad I cannot afford to buy a new car now :(

VIDEO: Just because it has AWD, that doesn't make it an off-roader {Autoblog}
Jun 1st 2009 10:49AM Not eco-friendly to drive in the surf...
You can drive on sand if you have a proper 4x4 with tires that are at least 70 series or LT rated. Let the air down to 10-15 psi and you can increase your floatation on sand. Having a transfercase that locks the split 50/50 helps too.
