Gas prices seem to rise at the blink of an eye. Consumers are feeling the increase in every aspect of their lives. Groceries cost more, commuting costs more and disposable income seems to have vanished completely.
The only thing that is consistent during this time of gasoline crisis is that everyone is pointing a […]

My dream car is connected to the road via a laser that allows a computer to direct the path of the car.  Like an airplane, I would be able to set the car on cruise and lay back the seat for the trip.  This is a picture I dreamed up nearly twenty years ago when […]

Movies show a lot of neat features that are suppose to be in the automobiles of the future.  They’ve shown cars that fill with foam during a crash so that no one gets hurt.  Movies have shown cars that drive themselves.  Some of the ideas portrayed in the movies of yesterday are actually a reality […]

Finally a green car that is not just energy efficient, but it is out of this world.  If the future of the automobile industry lies in cars that look like this, I think it’s something I can live with now.
For so long, cars were looking all the same.  While the gas mileage may have improved, […]
