Hello spridgets, my daughter recently turned 16, and is about to get her driver's license... and we were able to get for her a 1987 Toyota MR2. .. not a sprite, but at least a two seater sports car.
You think there'll be gas in 20 years or so? Hydrogen has to take over as the main fuel source, at some point, doesn't it? --Original Message-- From Bill L <pythias at pacifier.com>
toyota's "mister 2" is quite a little mid engine rocket ship. they are real pain in the (you know where!) to ge tthe cooling system purged of air if for any reason you need to empty it out and they a
Hello Robert, hydrogen is NOT a fuel source. it is only an energy STORAGE system. that's because it takes as much energy to extract hydrogen from the air, or from water, as you get back when you use
I have mentioned this before (but nobody listens!). I doubt that very many of today's cars will still be drivable after 20 years. New cars are entirely controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit),
Let's see, Oak Hill Naval Reserve ( a large oil field in so-cal) has a 20 year supply that has been ready to pump since WW2. The Saudis have a field that has been explored and is ready to pump, that
Yep...for this discussion, which is about collector cars. I'd say that about 85% of car buyers have no interest in cars, other than transportation. They buy every three or four years and take the car
According to the August 10th issue of the "Onion", that bastion of all the news that's fit to print, "President Bush unveiled an aggressive initiative Monday that would make the U.S. free of petroleu

Everybody is getting o-so philisophical on this, so here is a real list of potential future "collectable cars" from the last 10 years or so. Nissan Sentra SE-R, 1st generation Ford Focus SVT Ford Con

The question is, "What is a collectible car?". The answer frequently seems to be that it is a car that we dearly wanted (or should I say "lusted after"?) but were unable to possess due to age , finan
I would agree with most all of your suggestions except for "1996 Ford F150 Eddie Bauer Regular Cab Short Bed w V-8" How would that be "collectable" over say a Lighting of the same vintage? Is it mor
Well, "mass transit" is kinda like perpetual motion and eternal youth. Looks good on paper, but just try to build it. In today's modern world, people live and work is such spatially diverse locations
Hmmm, the only 2 on this list I think will make it to "special" status in the future is the Chevy SSR and the Honda S2000, all the others are just plain cars with too many built to be special unless
