Now you can run your car on Water Mixed Gas
by Paul Aitchison
We all know that gas prices are through the roof and without a doubt will continue to rise. But what if there was a way to save money on gas, big money? There is and it's done with a little help from water. Did you know that there is technology you can use to almost completely run your car on water now? There is and it can save you a ton of money on gas every month. This technology can teach you how to make your own low-cost hybrid car that runs on water and gas. It is necessary for us to look for other alternatives as the price of crude oil and gas is soaring high. Now the question arises whether a car can really run on water mixed gas. The researchers are doing a research on this and they claim that it is possible to run a car on water mixed gas. They say that with the addition of certain quantity of water with gas it is possible to make a fuel that can meet a common man's expectations. However it needs a slight modification in the engine by adding on small equipment that will serve the demand of the new fuel.
According to the research if a small quantity of water is added to petrol, diesel or gasoline with the addition of necessary additives, the water gets mixed with the conventional fuel and can act as an effective fuel for the vehicles. This new fuel will not only reduce the cost but also reduce the pollution and will protect the environment. As we cannot ignore the fact that water causes rust to the steel and other parts of the engine that are made up of iron and steel, so chemicals that prevent water from causing rust to the steel, must be added to the fuel.
If the car runs on the water gas fuel, it will not only enhance the performance of the car but also minimize carbon deposits in piston and skirts will reduce sludge and varnish formation. Not only this, it will also reduce the engine temperature, due to the presence of water in the fuel. Also, the car will act itself as a catalytic converter if it gets water gas as a fuel. It is advantageous to run a car on water gas but the water and gas ratio should be optimized and proper chemicals called additives should be added so that water does not remain in free form, as it may cause rust to the steel parts of the engine. This effective process requires the help of experts, as we alone cannot get this process done.
By using this technology you can literally save over $1,000 a year as a sole driver. The more drivers you have, the more you will save. If you own a company with a fleet of trucks, say 50, your looking at a savings of over $50,000 a year!
HHO/ Browns Gas, Water Fuel Cells, What's all this stuff about?
HHO/ Browns Gas, Water Fuel Cells, What's all this stuff about?
by Stephen Lessey
Whenever you hear the topic of cars and the economy, almost immediately you hear grunt that follows "these gas prices" and quite frankly no one can really blame you. So then, we try to find resources or anything at all that will at least aide us at the pump. Many of us have heard all the rage of fueling your car with water. It's all over the TV, Magazines, and newspapers.The media eats this stuff up. But then you're thinking, what exactly is this water for gas or HHO nonsense anyway? And how does it work? The first process in understanding what happens is to understand that this article is just to inform you on how the entire process of HHO gas works, without being to technical. Ok, so let's get on to it.
What is HHO?
If you fell asleep in Chemistry class, consider this a crash course for dummies. We all have heard of Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H). If you put these two gases together we get what health professionals tell us to drink 8 times a day: water. However, when these two gases are combined in a "special way" it transforms into a new gas called HHO or browns gas. This "special way" takes the two gases Hydrogen and Oxygen out of water (H20) and transforms it into HHO by using electrolysis. An electrolysis is a word that means "breaking down" with electricity, and that is exactly what it does, break down water molecules into their components: hydrogen and oxygen. HHO is different than water because it is not bonded to create a molecule which in this explanation is water. You see, since Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gases, and are not bonded together, the result remains a gas when water (H2O) is broken down.
Run That By Me Again!
o Water is taken into the electrolysis chamber and broken down. There it is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen.
o The two gases, hydrogen and oxygen, form a gas called HHO.
o HHO, which has an enormous amount of potential energy stored in it, gets burned. Since hydrogen combustion is more efficient than gasoline combustion, a bigger percentage of the produced energy becomes motion energy that your car uses to run.
How does it Work?
In order for the process of electrolysis to work, we need a power source, your cars battery. Your engines compartment contains a cell where HHO gas being made through electrolysis. That HHO gas goes through a tube into the intake of your vehicles engine. When the HHO gas gets in contact with your engine's intake, it can only supplement the gasoline that you regularly buy. The results of this combination, is simple: more mileage. Think about it. If burning gasoline isn't as affective as burning HHO gas, then combining them would only increase your miles per gallon.
The Bottom Line
Using the HHO process might seem a little complicated to most, but rest assured it's not. Neither is it a new technology, just a new application that is being used by people around the world. There a literally hundreds of thousands of people who are already using their cars, as a full water vehicle or hybrid of water and gas. If you are serious about taking control on gas expenses, at least be open minded on the alternatives out there.

Make Your Car More "Green" :New Cars hybrid review 2009
Make Your Car More "Green"
by Charles Carter
Copyright (c) 2008 Charles Carter
If you have been to the pump lately it might be your wallet that makes you want to go more "Green" with your car then before. As it relates to the environment automobiles account for 20% of all greenhouse gases emitted into the air. How ecological friendly you handle your car is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Still the only way to offset your carbon footprint is to plant trees. Listed below are the Top 10 things you can do to make your car more "Green."
1. Buy a Hybrid Car or Green Car
Yes, it doesn't take rocket science to understand that if you buy a more environment friendly car you have reduced your carbon footprint. Hybrids now come in sedans, SUV, and luxury vehicles. If buying a hybrid right now isn't in your budget choosing a car with excellent gas mileage is going to make a big difference.
2. How You Drive
You drastically increase the fuel you consume and the emissions your car gives off when you accelerate quickly and stop quickly. Driving the speed limit and more smooth as it relates to aggressive driving through the city will save on your gas bill. Also, the more you can take care of all your errands in one trip is better than many short trips to the store.
3. Keep Your Car in Shape
Regular tune ups of your car will keep your car producing less greenhouse gases, using less gas, and prevents future trouble. It is estimated that if every American's tires were properly inflated to the right level we would save 3 billion gallons of gas every year.
4. Offset Carbon Footprint
You can plant trees to offset the greenhouse gases you are emitting each year. Planting trees is the only way to offset your carbon footprint.
5. Carpool
If you have been on the freeway during rush hour you see all the commuters driving by themselves. Not only will you drastically lower your impact on the environment by carpooling you get to go in the carpool lane, as well.
6. You Don't Need a Car for Everything
For short trips you can take your bike or walk. With cars we don't even think about the other ways we can travel; we just hop in our cars and off we go. Many store items can easily be carried on a bike with a backpack. Also, you can get an electric scooter to get places faster.
7. Drive Half Way
For some trips walking or your bike isn't the complete answer. Driving your car and then getting on mass transit or driving your car and then parking to then go on your bike both work. Many times if you are going during rush hour, driving until the traffic gets thick and then going on your bike will get you there faster than sitting in the bumper to bumper traffic.
8. Use Less AC
Using a windshield protector can reduce how hot your car gets allowing you to use less air conditioner in the car. Turn your AC on low instead of high uses less gas. Don't forget to park in the shade to also keep your car cooler.
9. Use the Web
With the easy access to the web these days you can have video conferences, send email, and buy your products online. A video chat can be just as good as a face to face meeting without using gas and your car.
10. Go without a Car
For those that are willing to take it on it can be done. You would be surprised with a change in thinking how it is possible for some to go without a car. Using physical transportation like a bike and mass transit can get you around. Also, for those that want to it may be important to live closer to work or the stores you need or making your work day virtual so your home is your office.

Hydrogen, hydrogen generators, hho, gas savers - The Definitive Facts
Hydrogen, hydrogen generators, hho, gas savers - The Definitive Facts
by Denys Allard
The purpose of this article is to dispel the myths, misinformation, and confusion induced largely by members of the media and others who are not too knowledgeable in this field. Part of the problem is that; the onslaught of "Run Your Car on Water" ads all over the internet is misleading. Although this is possible, these ads are referring to electrolyzers/hydrogen boosters which is a fuel saving device. "Supplemental hydrogen" would be a more accurate term. Unfortunately, there are some bogus companies out there but this device is real and it does work. There are many credible sources for information on this; The National Hydrogen Association, the EPA, and the U.S. Dept. of Energy (just to name a few). An electrolyzer/hydrogen booster generates hydrogen and oxygen (hho/Brown's gas) and should not be confused with hydrogen fuel cells which produces electricity and can be used to power an electric car.The authors of these build-your-own plans all over the internet (in many cases) are not very knowledgeable. There are many factors to consider and the efficiency of the product (and whether or not it works) is going to depend on it. Also, the tools & materials needed to build something, with some quality, can be costly. I have read several articles from supposedly authoritative, professional, intelligent people who were claiming that these devices don't work. After reviewing their test procedures, it came as no surprise to me that they got negative results. Unless you really know what you are doing, you're better off buying a pre-made product from a reputable manufacturer with a guarantee.The electrolysis (disassociation of water) process occurs when you apply about 2 volts to water but the device simply does not produce enough hydrogen to run a vehicle on it's own but can increase mileage significantly and, with gas prices nowadays, is a big plus. Adding an electrolyte to the water (such as potassium hydroxide) does increase hydrogen production but also increases amperage and generates heat as a result. Also, pulsed dc. is actually more efficient than straight dc. from your car's battery.A device called an EFIE (electronic fuel injection enhancer) should also be used as this compensates for the added oxygen in your intake. Your oxygen sensors monitors and sends a small voltage to your car's computer telling it whether your a/f ratio is too rich or too lean. The EFIE sends a floating voltage on top of this telling your car's computer that your a/f ratio is too rich and subsequently cuts back on the gas to your fuel injector.Hydrogen has a lower ignition rate than gasoline which means that it ignites at a lower temperature so it is quite easy to burn hydrogen in a combustion engine. However, hydrogen also has a lower density rate than gasoline which means that it takes a lot of it to run a vehicle. Running a vehicle without gasoline (such as what Stan Meyer did) involves changing the state of the hydrogen to a higher energy state because of its low density. This involves some physics which I will not get into here.Article Summary: Whether you call them electrolyzers or hydrogen boosters, the bottom line is that these devices do work and improving mileage is a step in the right direction. There are several benefits to burning supplemental hydrogen; it burns cleaner than gasoline alone and helps clean carbon deposits out of your engine. The result is more horsepower, fewer emissions, and obviously, spending less money on gas and LESS DEMAND = LOWER PRICES at the pump. I, personally, have had an electrolyzer in my car for the last 18 months and have been very pleased with the results.

The Right Way to Buy Fuel Saving Cars : new cars 2009
The Right Way to Buy Fuel Saving Cars
by Jim Warren
You should be extremely careful in buying your new car what with sky high gasoline prices in the market. Not exercising care in this aspect would mean you ending up getting a car that will gulp down a lot of fuel, yet not get you driving anywhere.Jack Nerrad, managing editor of Kelley Blue Book, believes that there is an element of being wise by the pennies and foolish by the pounds.Getting StartedFueleconomy.gov is one of the best places you could get started. This site is operated jointly by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. This site gives you the city and highway fuel economy for all the cars, market passenger cars and trucks, sold in the USA.A new testing system was introduced last year. This testing method has produced realistic numbers as opposed to previous years, which did give some really inflated numbers for the cars.Along with these information, you would get all the additional information that will help you in choosing a car. All you have to do is to click on a particular car, and you would be able to find all the information you wanted to find.In the page where all the details of the car are given, you would find the annual fuel costs. This is one good comparison between vehicles. In an instant, you would be able to compare a fuel-efficient vehicle with let's say a Suzuki sedan.The Chevrolet Tahoe and the Ford Expedition differ just by the 2-mpg. But did you know that in terms of fuel costs, the difference is about $435 every year. On the other hand, you also have the Toyota Corolla compact car and the Toyota Camry midsized car, both different by about 4-mpg, but differing by $270 in terms of fuel costs.You would certainly need to keep an eye on the fuel efficiency as this is one of the main determinants before you get buying a car.Fueleconomy.gov's annual fuel cost estimates are based on 15,000 miles per year of driving. This number is evenly split between the city and highway. Before looking at these numbers and trying to apply them to your case, you would do well to look into your case.Factor in All Other CostsBefore buying a car, you would need to factor in the depreciation costs. This is the difference in the cost at which you bought the car, and the price at which you can sell the car, at the time of selling.Let us take the example of The Honda Fit and Ford Focus. These cars do not differ a lot in their prices. The Ford Focus car is lesser efficient in fuel. This almost causes it to lose $3,600 more in depreciation over a period of time as compared to the Honda Fit Model. Depreciation costs thus play a deciding role in making you choose the right car.Just so you know, this depreciation cost would not be too big in difference in the case of cars that are priced similarly.Don't Get Caught Up in HypePeople often make the mistake in thinking that buying hybrid cars would get them to be more fuel-efficient. This is a myth that requires some explanation.Hybrid vehicles are not available a lot in the market. Add to this the fact that some of the non-hybrid vehicles come cheaper than the hybrid vehicles. One of the main reasons for this is the use of hybrid technology in the hybrid vehicles, which makes them a touch expensive.Compare Toyota Highlander Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 for example. You would find that the Highlander has a fuel economy of 26 mpg. This makes for a spacious and a three-row SUV. On the other hand, you would find the Toyota RAV4 is a touch smaller than the Highlander. With that being said, you would also find that the price of the RAV4 is a touch less.You could look at the Toyota Prius if you are really preoccupied with the thought of buying a hybrid vehicle. This car surely gives good performance and other features that makes it a car to buy for the price you would pay for it.One of the best known cars for effective use of hybrid technology is the General Motors' Saturn Vue Green Line. This car uses a mild hybrid system. Use of the mini hybrid system ensures that the car just does not run on electric power alone.This enables the car to give good fuel economy. Overall, it must be said that the supplies of components for hybrid vehicles are tight.From this summer onwards, you would find a lot diesel trucks hitting showrooms as opposed to the gas trucks. Now, these trucks do have a good fuel economy but are also priced a bit higher than their gas counterparts.Gains on the fuel economy front and a higher resale price of these diesel cars surely should make them good buys over the next couple of years. Considering that these benefits will stay with you for some time to come, you would find that diesel cars are indeed popular.Don't Forget Your Real NeedsOne of the important things you would need to think of is your need. Why do you really want to buy a car? Do you really require a SUV for your driving needs? Get out of the mindset that small cars do not offer space for people to sit in.Small cars like the Nissan Versa offer good legroom and seating space for people to sit in. This could easily be compared to some of the midsized cars like Toyota Camry. One big advantage of using a Versa is its fuel economy. This car runs four miles further than some of the midsized cars thus saving you about $269 every year.One thing you need to look at carefully are the trade-offs. This could hurt you in the longer run, especially if you wish to resale this at some point of time.With most cars, you would need to take into count the advantages of an all-wheel drive. See if it impacts your fuel economy. If it does, you would be advised to stay away from it, because somewhere down the line you would realize that the resale value for such cars is low.Gas prices are an important point to think of before you get buying a new car. With that being said, this surely should not be the only thing that consumes your mind. If you look only at the gas prices and not think of other benefits the car may offer you, you could end up on a losing deal.

Can A Truck Really Run On Water?
by Jim Warren
Have you heard truck that runs on water? It may sound surprising to some but it is quite real. Some people just do not believe it to be true and think that someone would have played a joke on them. And it does! To be honest, this new idea does break all rules that truck has to run on some form of gasoline.
Even electrically run trucks can be thought of but to think of a truck that can run on water is outrageous. The idea is noble and in a sense, can save one a lot of money provided they take interest.
The gasoline prices are anyways high, and by using water as an alternate fuel instead of gasoline, you could convert the gas guzzlers into mean machines for sure. For you to know, how can you use water to run your trucks, you should read this article.
You would already be thinking that you should be pouring water into the engine. Do that and be prepared to be hit by a hefty repair bill. See - Water is made of Hydrogen and Oxygen. All you have to do is work a technique in separating the Hydrogen and Oxygen. Once you do that you could use Hydrogen, a highly inflammable substance as fuel.
Now they key is - How do you do it? With a process of electrolysis, you could easily break water into Hydrogen and Oxygen separately. There comes the need of an electrolysis device that could do this task, because you cannot do this manually.
A truck that runs on water uses an electrolysis device. This device is used to extract hydrogen from water. The hydrogen extracted can be used as a fuel source in the engine. There are couple of challenges with this working here - 1) Enough amounts of Hydrogen has to be generated, and 2) There has to be a mechanism by which the hydrogen can be transported to the engine. Drivers who have used this as a source have reported difference in results. Thus, you may be better off finding if you can use this as a source or not.
"There's a sucker born every minute," carnival king P.T. Barnum allegedly proclaimed in the fall of 1869. And while Barnum was never known to own an auto dealership (after all, he died in 1891 -- several years before Henry cranked out his first Ford), some might believe his words live on in the heart of every car salesman.

Honda is on Charge : New honda 2009
Honda is on Charge
by Mark Creese
To all intents and purposes Formula One should be the most exciting sport on Earth. Just one look at the key ingredients that concoct this sport has me salivating with excitement. Firstly you have a global giant of the car world such as Honda breaking away from the hatchback market and producing nearly 1,000bhp in a car that weighs less than the original Mini. Secondly this outlandish performance is put in the trust of 20 of the most skilled drivers on the planet, who are only ever 2-3 seconds away from a high speed shunt. Thirdly, the races take place in the most exotic locations around the world, including: Bahrain, Monaco, Brazil, Australia and Singapore. Why oh why then is it so dull?
As a child I'd drag myself out of bed at 3am just to watch a Friday practice, before repeating the feat for Saturday qualifying and Sunday race day. I knew all the drivers statistics, why rear down force shouldn't be an issue around the Hockenheim circuit and the past winners of the championship for 50 years. Much like a lot of the population I've tired in recent years of no overtaking, the same winners and consistent rule changes that try and fail to re-ignite excitement. Michael Schumacher was the greatest driver in the history of the sport but his constant winning also destroyed my love for it.
Then there was the tobacco sponsorship ban of a few years ago. Such a furore was made over banning the cancer-givers that the sport's focus was lost. So what that I fancied a cigarette after watching 'Marlboro' on Schumacher's car cross the winning line again, the advertising really wasn't the root of the problem Formula One was suffering.
Not content with banning cigarettes, overtaking had to be improved (or at least occur once in a race). So cars were slowed down and made more difficult to drive. The result? The best drivers were still in the fastest cars and could cope far better than the weaker drivers already in cars to suit their abilities. The emergence of Lewis Hamilton last year has certainly gone some way to undo the monotony of the now-retired Schumacher era. Not only is he the first black driver in Formula One, but he's super-quick - if a bit erratic.
Problem is that even if we overlook the unsolved overtaking problem, the President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Max Mosley's sexual preferences, constant rule changes and Lewis's efforts to promote the sport, there's one massive problem that looms like an Eagle over its prey - global warming. With the Earth dying thanks to mankind's greed it seems everyone from every walk of life is being encouraged to recycle, use less energy and travel using green transport. I guess doing four miles to the gallon at 200mph every other weekend, with hundreds of articulated lorries, private jets and motor homes in tow doesn't quite reflect that Formula One is listening.
Well maybe Honda has got the hint with their 'Earth' car from the 2007 season. Sponsorship free and painted with the planet Earth on it, Honda sold every pixel on its livery with each donation helping towards climate change. This season's car has continued with promoting the dangers of climate change in a more subtle manner and once again no sponsorship - wise when you consider the car was previously run by BAT - British American Tobacco.
Ok so you like Formula One, you love Honda, support Jenson Button (although you agree he's not much cop) and therefore want to reflect this in your everyday life - whilst saving the planet. The answer is a simple three words - Honda Civic Hybrid. Yep Honda has produced an eco-friendly car that doesn't need plugging into the wall, look stupid or cost the earth. The Honda Hybrid looks like any other saloon which when you consider the stylings of most electric or hybrid cars is a major plus point. Road Tax in the United Kingdom is stupidly expensive so having to fork out a mere £15 a year for driving the Civic Hybrid is probably all the encouragement you'll need to buy one. The other justification for buying one is that other than great fuel economy thanks to the electric motor doing a fair proportion of the work, it's actually a good drive. Yes it's not a 0-60mph monster but every other aspect is as you'd expect from a car from the Civic range - it's a main contender in the green race.
So there you have it, buy a Honda Hybrid and watch Formula One guilt free. Now if Jenson could just overtake someone…

Facebook is actually quite a lot more interesting than I thought it was. It also can act like a homepage for the not-so-geeky oriented who like an easy way to setup a homepage, much like Blogster or CarSpace, but it goes yet further by incorporating many of your other social networking services, too. Its easy to setup groups, as well. It's also easy to upload & share photos and video. Your default public profile page acts as a "wall" that you write on and you can easily communicate with your friends this way.
I suppose some may say that I had cheated, as I had put-up a profile to represent and promote my employer. The name RorK Feimer I used is actually derived from the owners of Syd's Eastside Auto Salvage, Ron & Kathy Feimer. And this may be so, but you have to remember that I am employed to promote the Syd's Eastside Auto Parts website, and not to promote my own websites and business interests. In the same manner, I still want a profile on Facebook that reflects me and my own interests, both personal and business related. On top of that, the business and my opinion may differ on a variety of things.
That said, if I am cheating, so are a great deal of other businesses which are doing the same thing on Facebook. All we are looking for is a profile that we can promote as an employee, while maintaing a separate personal profile for ourselves outside of work.
So, I'm actually not worried about it. Heck, this blog entry will appear on Facebook, anyway. Because Facebook is configured to post my blog entries that I post here on that site, as well. So by adding blog entries here, I am also updating Facebook.
Facebook also supports a variety of other social networking websites. Twitter is one, Digg is another. As these services are updated, so is Facebook.

Ride High With the Right Toyota : New Toyota 2009
Ride High With the Right Toyota
by Jon Caldwell
An air induction tube is a hose that is assembled to the engine. This hose filters the air in the engine because unfiltered air can cause major damages to the engine, such as power loss. So it is very important that there are no leaks of any kind. However, a hose replacement at Toyota is quite expensive, especially if you are the budget type who at least just wants a temporary fix to last until you can afford the permanent fix. A wrecking yard is a good suggestion here, but if the budget can not afford it, just grab a duct tape and cover the hole. It is just that simple, of course it won't last.
Do take note not to burn the paint. Later on, the dent will go off out on its own. If that does not happen, you can do it yourself by applying pressure at the opposite side to pop it on your own. Bumpers that are made out of plastic material have that kind of "memory", just when you press a reset button on a game you are playing. When you apply heat on you plastic-material bumper, it will always go back to the way it was molded figure. Once it has returned to its normal shape, bolt it back to your car. It is just that easy.
A dent in your Toyota's bumper is an awful sight to see. So if you are that person who wants those nasty dents removed by yourself, here's how you should do it. Check if your bumper is made of plastic. If it is made of plastic, see if it is cracked. If there are no cracks at all, all you have to do is unbolt it. If you have an electric fire or a portable gas fire, position it towards the bumper with the dent for approximately thirty centimeters. Just put it that way for five minutes.
Not all lights will work forever, even candle melts and you have to light a new stick to provide illumination in a dark room. Light bulbs will wear out, even in cars, and these lights were provided, in the first place, to give support when checking out dark areas of your car. One of these dark areas in your car would have to be in the dashboard where the air flows which is called airflow control area. These light bulbs are usually attached to sockets, and they can be easily removed by pulling them off. To pull them off, you have to remove this plastic wrapped around the dash.
This kind of incident usually happens when the center pivot of the scissor mechanism that lifts up the window is held by a particular bolt that is getting loose. Because of this loosen bolt, the window will have to shift and/or bind in its track as it was unevenly raised. If you try to bring down the window at least half way, that particular bolt that causes the problem can be accessed from an opening in the door panel (front door; it is not too far from the speaker/s). It is best to tighten this loose bolt as soon as you experience difficulty with the windows because when this worsens, the glass will feel stress with the shift-bind problem and later on shatter right before your eyes.
There will be times that scratches can make your car totally annoying and irritating and chances are you may want to take them out. Today, there are solutions but you have to consider the feasibility of getting an auto detail or washing over the whole car for a fresh look.
Of the two, detailing may seem to be cheaper but is it wise? It is practically the same thing as you try to cheat your way towards restoring your car. If the cost is only minor in terms of cost, then why not go for the complete washover for a better look?

Keep Your Toyota in Shape : New Toyota 2008
Keep Your Toyota in Shape
by Jon Caldwell
There have been rumors that Toyota will be releasing a new Toyota Celica 2009. This rumor started when Toyota brought to life the "interesting cars" committee shortly after acquiring a majority share in Subaru. They claim that there will be a return of the legendary AE86 Corolla Coupe from the 1980's but some say it will be the 8th generation Toyota Celica.
We may call this the FT-HS, a concept? There have been leaked details that this new vehicle would be less than 4 meters in length, 1.7 meters wide and 1.35 meters high with a target weight of 1000kg.
As of this time, the Toyota Celica has released seven generations of this sporty vehicle since 1970. This has continued to attract customers especially the young ones, including the young once. My dad used to own a first generation model of this, and until now he desires to have the latest model of this nasty sports car. The Celica has been called the Supra for some of its recent models. There has been rumors that Toyota will be releasing an 8th generation model of its kind.
When I was young we owned a Toyota Celica. It was my dad's teenage car. In 1967, the Toyota Celica was planned and originally designed for young at heart motorists and for those who wanted more than a mode of transportation. In an official history of the Toyota Celica released by Toyota USA states that when planning for the Celica began in 1967, its styling was quite revolutionary and it influenced the establishment of the sporty subcompact market segment. The original Celica powered with a carbureted four-cylinder engine and was only available in ST form and as a two-door sports coupe making it an image car than a volume car.
When I was a kid, I've always loved to watch science fiction and futuristic movies wherein they feature cars which look like toys. Now, we can see these bunch of toy-like vehicles on the road in the face of a compact vehicle. In the year 2007, Toyota launched the ultra-compact 3+1 seater "iQ concept". This three meter long cute car is space efficient which is designed for urban motoring. Toyota will be producing just 100,00 units on its first full year of production in 2009. However, there will be no hybrid version of the iQ since a heavy weight battery pack would go against the laws of its engineering which is weight saving.
When will the Prius be available in the other countries in Asia? I still don't know the answer to this question, but I believe that the consumers are now asking for the successful hybrid car. In a news that I read, it is said that Prius has sold more than a million Prius vehicles with an actual unit number of 1,027,700. Ever since this vehicle has been launched its sales has been increasing steadily. The biggest market for the Prius is in North America, followed by Japan and Europe. All I can say is I want a Toyota Prius.
With the ever soaring prices of gasoline, more and more people opt to go hybrid. Toyota Cars is now taking the first step and the lead in giving consumers a cleaner and cheaper option which is the hybrid. Hybrid vehicles reduce pollution and emissions by switching from a gasoline powered car to an electric motor powered car. Recent news tells us that Toyota is building a $192 million plant in Japan. This plant is to produce batteries for hybrid vehicles. Toyota has this joint with Panasonic brand products maker Matsushita Electric Industrial Company. This plant is to be located in central Japan.

There have been rumors that Toyota will be releasing a new Toyota Celica 2009. This rumor started when Toyota brought to life the "interesting cars" committee shortly after acquiring a majority share in Subaru. They claim that there will be a return of the legendary AE86 Corolla Coupe from the 1980's but some say it will be the 8th generation Toyota Celica.
We may call this the FT-HS, a concept? There have been leaked details that this new vehicle would be less than 4 meters in length, 1.7 meters wide and 1.35 meters high with a target weight of 1000kg.

Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 : Love car new car 2009 review
Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000
by admin
(NAPSI)-Although the average price of a new vehicle reaches close to $30,000, you don't have to spend a small fortune to drive a cool car.
The editors at Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com) provide budget- and style-conscious buyers a list of the top 10 cool new vehicles that can be purchased for less than $18,000. These editors' picks deliver cool looks, smart features and excellent fuel economy, making the cars in this price range even more appealing.
The list of qualifying vehicles under $18,000 was compiled using Kelley Blue Book's New Car Blue Book values, which reflect real-world transaction prices and provide a more useful comparison point than the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP).
The editors thoroughly examined each vehicle for styling, performance and the fun-to-drive factor. Objective criteria such as safety, fuel economy, environmental impact, interior size and comfort were also taken into account.
THE TOP 10 COOLEST
NEW CARS:
* 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic (Regular Cab Manual WT)
The 800-pound gorilla of this group earns its spot on the list by delivering the most metal for the money along with hefty hauling and towing capacities. If you need to lug cool stuff, the full-size Silverado Classic lets you do it for a compact-pickup monthly payment. MSRP: $17,015, New Car Blue Book Value: $16,590
* 2007 Ford Focus SES 2-Door Hatchback
Its Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle status helped place the versatile Ford Focus 3-door on the list. Focus combines international style and cheeky, fun-to-drive character in a handy, economical package. MSRP: $16,180, New Car Blue Book Value: $15,937
* 2007 Honda Fit
Driving the Fit is the most fun you can have with four wheels and 109 horsepower. Matched with a cleverly configurable rear seat that provides uncanny cargo capacity, the diminutive Fit is cool condensed. MSRP: $14,445, New Car Blue Book Value: $14,301
* 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
Hyundai's sporty entry combines the presence of a $30,000 sports coupe with energetic driving dynamics and brand value. Updates for the 2007 model year include freshened front and rear styling. MSRP: $17,295, New Car Blue Book Value: $17,157
* 2007 Jeep Patriot
Based on the same platform as the Dodge Caliber and Jeep's own Compass, the Patriot sets itself apart by featuring all the utility and features of its twin brothers but also adding an off-road capability and Jeep purity that the others lack. MSRP: $14,985, New car Blue Book Value: $14,985
* 2007 Mazda MAZDA3
Fun, stylish, versatile and substantial, the exceptionally well-rounded MAZDA3 is the only vehicle to make it onto the list four years in a row-and every year since its introduction. MSRP: $18,175, New Car Blue Book Value: $17,993
* 2007 Nissan Versa
By offering more room than its closest competitors and available features like Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and keyless entry and start, the Versa offers a little taste of luxury at a decidedly down-market price. MSRP: $13,075, New Car Blue Book Value: $13,206
* 2007 Scion tC
The tC coupe furthers its own pedigree with industrial-sleek styling, lively performance and a sharp interior that belies the car's starting price. MSRP: $16,980, New Car Blue Book Value: $17,235
* 2007 Suzuki SX4
The most affordable four-wheel-drive vehicle out there is wrapped in distinctively styled sheet metal and offers advanced features like keyless entry and start. A 100,000-mile powertrain warranty is pretty cool, too. MSRP: $17,124, New Car Blue Book Value: $17,038
* 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
With an eager engine, unexpectedly tenacious handling and interior refinement, the vehicle formerly known as Golf plays off its Euro roots to offer Continental cool. MSRP: $15,630, New Car Blue Book Value: $15,474

Make a Hydrogen Generator for Your Car And Run it on Water : New hydrogen new cars 2009 review
Make a Hydrogen Generator for Your Car And Run it on Water
by mike legg
Did you know that there is a way to cut your gas consumption in half? I’m talking about Hydrogen for cars a method where plain water is used to produce HHO gas to use as a supplement to your regular gasoline.
If you make a Hydrogen Generator for your car you can expect to get gas mileage improvements of up to 50%, this is because HHO gas burns with up to 3 times more power than ordinary gasoline. And when you mix the two together by using a homemade Hydrogen Generator you will get a much more fuel efficient engine and so get more mpg.
Hydrogen for cars is not a new concept, in fact it has been around for a long time, but due to pressure from the big oil companies it has been suppressed and kept out of the public eye. People have been making homemade Hydrogen Generators for their cars and trucks for years with great results. Now because of the latest oil crisis the technology has had resurgence and has come on in leaps and bounds. This technology has come so far in the past few years that it is now possible for anyone to make a Hydrogen Generator cheaply and easily.
The principle behind a homemade Hydrogen Generator is a simple process called electrolysis. This process uses the electricity from your vehicles battery to break a small amount of water down into its two main molecules (Hydrogen and Oxygen). A by-product of this is HHO or Brown’s gas, a gas that is highly flammable which is then mixed with your regular fuel and burned in your engine in the usual way.
You can make a Hydrogen Generator for your car very easily and also very cheaply. All the parts you need can be bought from local auto stores and hardware shops. You can also buy kits to put together a homemade Hydrogen Generator but these tend to be expensive and can work out to be ten times the cost of building one from scratch.
The easiest way to make a Hydrogen Generator is to use one of the downloadable manuals from the internet. These manuals give you full and detailed instructions of exactly what parts you need, and a step by step guide to put them together. They contain detailed diagrams and even videos to show you how to make a homemade Hydrogen Generator for your car or truck.
A homemade Hydrogen Generator will work on any make or model of car, truck, or Suv, and once installed you can expect to get great gas mileage improvements. It can also be removed from your vehicle very easily without causing any damage, so if you sell your car or truck you can keep it to use in your next vehicle.
All in all Hydrogen for cars seems to make a lot of sense, and as it is so easy and cheap to make a Hydrogen Generator for you car I can see it catching on in a big way. If you are interested and would like to make a Hydrogen Generator for your own car check out the top downloadable guides that I have reviewed on my website.

New Jeep Cherokee - Jeep Gets Back to Basics : New Jeep Cherokee 2009
New Jeep Cherokee - Jeep Gets Back to Basics
by Jon Barlow
There is no mistaking the fact that the future of the recreational four-wheel drive vehicle is beginning to look ever more uncertain. As with a lot of lifestyle choices these day's there are those who seem happy to ignore the health warnings (It's my choice and all that) as is the case with smoking for example, but inevitably when a wealth warning becomes self-evident then people become more likely to sit up and take notice.
I think it would be fair to say that if you asked the average American motorist a few years ago about driving a more fuel efficient car they probably would have politely backed away from you as if you were slightly mad. I recall visiting the USA a few years ago and being dumbfounded by the cheap cost of fuel especially as it was priced in gallons. This practice was abandoned long ago in the UK partly due to the European Union but also I think to hide the true cost, after all despite the metric system most people still refer to how many 'miles per gallon' they get from their car.
It's pretty startling how things have changed in the last few years, when I read motoring articles from the USA nearly all have some reference to high gas prices or how to save money by using alternative fuels. Some people seem to be experimenting with all kinds of things often resulting in blowing up their engines as a result. One thing which seems certain is despite the occasional fluctuation in price the days of cheap motoring for all are set to be a thing of the past.
Until recently the manufacturers of less fuel efficient cars have been able to confidently sit back and raise two fingers to the traditional environmentalists who have been arguing against recreational off-road vehicles for a number of years, regarding them as a harmless but irritating group of misguided hippies. Now as with any evolutionary process it's a case of adapt or die and Jeep are determined to evolve.
I recall a few years back I used to catch the bus to work which although took twice as long as driving and meant a long walk at the other end I felt happy in the knowledge that I was not contributing to the chronic congestion which blighted my city. Most days the commute was fairly uneventful and I could hide in a book or turn up my music if some mad person insisted on sitting next to me and then started to ask if I liked sponge cake or saying something like "nice weather for ducks".
Occasionally the bus would simply not turn up and just as I was despairing, my saviour would arrive in the form of a green Jeep Cherokee driven by someone I used to work with. "Morning JB want a lift" he would say and to the envy of the large crowd at the bus stop I would proudly jump in and we would roar away albeit with some cringe worthy music blaring out but you can't have everything.
These were heady days and I would listen to my friend tell me quite proudly "just had a service done, cost me £500!" Blimey what's the fuel consumption like I said, "Well I get at least 30mpg if I take it easy" he would say and then floor it to get through the traffic lights so I guess 30mpg was a little optimistic. I became strangely attached to the car though and although the cream leather interior seemed ludicrously impractical it was easy to understand the appeal.
Apart from the obvious military requirements the demand for a vehicle which could be driven off-road without falling to pieces is what spawned the whole SUV market and believe it or not there are still people out there who genuinely need a rugged vehicle. Jeep has returned to their roots with the all-new Cherokee with the latest version not offering any concessions in the styling department. The softer lines of the previous model have been beefed up and the Jeep philosophy seems to be if you are going to stand the costs and ridicule of driving a 4x4 you can do it with masculine pride. Jeep has set a realistic sales target for the Cherokee in the UK and as we've seen with the smoking ban if someone really needs one, they will have it regardless.

The lone United States built hybrid auto is the Ford Escape Hybrid. Despite being a United States built auto you can count on a highly meticulous, robust auto that handles superbly. The speed increase is efficient yet quite strong. The Ford Escape Hybrid was the first hybrid SUV and remains a leading seller. The average Price for the Ford Escape Hybrid is approximately $26,000 while the average mileage per gallon (mpg) for the Ford Escape Hybrid is 36 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg.
Hybrid cars were produced to help the environment due to the reduction fuel emissions. By combining two power sources, hybrid cars use less gasoline. By using less gasoline they help the environment and help you save money. After researching hybrid cars you'll recognize that the Honda Civic Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid, Toyota Prius, and Ford Escape Hybrid are the most popular.

Drive Car Using Water : : water hybrid cars review 2009
Drive Car Using Water
by Zouking
1. Slow down your speed
As stated above, slow down your driving speed. Everyone knows this, but not many uses it. Well, it is a proven fact that dragging your engine will increase your fuel consumption rate. It is your choice to decide what speed you want to travel at.
2. Close Your window
Open your window when driving will increase the turbulence in your car and eventually your car will need more fuel to move. use the build in ventilation instead.
3. Plan your route
Try to plan your route before you head off. A route with more traffic light and heavy traffic is always not a good idea. The shortest route however may not be the best route if you are required to stop a lot. Try to avoid route that have a lot of high gradient slope or uneven road.
4. Top up your tank at Arco
Well, this is my personal comment. Every year, other major petrol company are making millions and millions or profit from us driver. They keep on advertising their new product such as Techron, V-power which they put in expensive stuff into them to order sell them at a higher price. In fact, all the petrol as basically the same, just that they claim their petrol have a cleaner burning combustion and better fuel efficiency. I am getting my top up at Acro at the moment and I never had any trouble with their quality.
But I sometimes do go to Chevron for a top up as well. I will put in exactly 8 gallons into my tank in order to qualify for a discount at the car wash section.
Another tips is when I traveling on the road, I try to keep note of the petrol price along the way. If I happen to see the price goes down, I may consider topping up. Some petrol station does offer a free cup of coffee with a fill up.
Manual transmission is great. I strongly encourage everyone to try using it. By using manual transmission, you can pretty much decide if you want a sport shifting at a higher rounds per minute (rpm) or a fuel efficiency shifting at a lower rpm. No matter how 'clever' the car claimed to be, it is never more clever than a human head.
If you are already driving a manual transmission now, and wish to save some fuel as well. Remember this golden rule, shift up early, shift down late.
5. Disable that cruise control
If you have the cruise control and the road is clear ahead, by all means use the cruise control. It will keep your speed constant, thus there is no need for you to accelerate. But if the road is not clear, you will be wasting a lot of fuel. Remember to use that overdrive function. It helps to keep your rpm low. Go into neutral gear when your car is standing still, to reduce and cool off the transmission.
6. Reduce your car overall weight
Another law of physics. You should try to remove those junk at the boot of your car. But keep the spare tire and other gears. You never know when you will need them.
7. Turn off your engine.
Even when your car is not moving, it is still using your fuel. If your air con is on, it takes up even more fuel. So if you know that you will be in the spot for more then 5 minutes, consider switching off the engine.

Cheap Gas - Where To Get It : New gas cars water hybrid car 2008
Cheap Gas - Where To Get It
by Erik Leipoldt
Cheap gas is on everyone's mind as oil prices forces us all up with our backs against the wall. You still need to drive to work and take the kids to school but your income is probably not growing to match rising gas prices.
What to do? There is no such thing as free gas...
It seems there is no way out. But just as the need is highest, some help is at hand. It is possible to do something about the situation.
The answer is two-fold: fuel-efficiency technology and your way of thinking.
Cheap Gas Technology You Can Access Now
No, I'm not going to tell you to buy a hybrid car. You would probably have bought one by now if you could afford one. They can certainly increase your mileage. But,"ouch"... the upfront cost!
There are positive developments, in fuel-efficient cars, electric cars, air cars, and hydrogen cars. Problem is, they're not widely available yet and if they were you could probably not afford one.
But you don't have to passively wait for the future to arrive on your door step. The technology exists to convert your own car to increase mileage by 25 - 50%. And other than car manufacturers' secret fuel-efficiency projects, these technologies are in the public domain.
They are completely yours to exploit. And their sources are abundant. For one of them it's water fuel!
Sounds far-fetched but it's worth checking out.
A conversion to driving with a hydrogen gas generator is inexpensive, not complicated and not subject to a waiting list. The cost of these is soon recouped with every mile you drive!
Hydrogen gas used in this way is truly cheap gas. Of course, you can even leverage that saving by combining a hydrogen generator with liquid petroleum gas or bio diesel. Hydrogen generators work with all internal combustion engines, including diesel, gasoline, propane, and fuel-injected. DIY, or get your mechanic to install it.
Another way to make such savings is to install a magnetic resonance device �" also "old" and proven technology. But you should not try to combine these two combustion catalysts. At least not till someone has tested doing so under controlled and safe conditions.
Using such fuel-saving conversions are your lifeline in bridging the time between high fuel prices and a future where alternative fuel cars are affordable.
Your Thoughts & Actions Do Beat Rising Gas Prices
Change your thinking about driving. No fuel-saving technology, including water fuel, can change the fact that there are no unlimited fuel sources on our limited planet. No free gas anywhere...
You can also make significant savings straight away, and perhaps save up for your car 's conversion, just by doing some common sense things:
Accelerate slowly. Laugh at those first out of the starting blocks at the lights as you see the dollars rolling straight out of their exhaust pipe.
Service your car regularly.
Think about the trips you make. Necessary to do by car? Can you combine them in one trip?
Keep up correct tyre pressure.
Check out the cheapest local gas station before you go anywhere.
The days of fossil-fuel based cheap gas are over. And free gas was never a real option. We are living in a new age where we have to be good at living within limits. It requires a different way of thinking.
All the above methods of fuel-saving not only reduce your fuel bills but, importantly save on green house gas emissions.
Now you know how to drive yourself into a sustainable future. Your children will thank you for doing it.

How To Use Water For Fuel : New Cars hybrid review 2008 water car
How To Use Water For Fuel
by Erik Leipoldt
As the Honda hydrogen car FCX Clarity is getting introduced into one part of California, you want to know how you too can benefit from this exciting water for fuel technology.
But you cannot afford a true hydrogen powered car. And even if you did, you could not fill it up anywhere yet. There are simply no hydrogen distribution network anywhere near you.
The good news is that you probably can afford a supplemental hydrogen gas generator. This will give your car on-board capacity to add hydrogen gas to your car engine's combustion process and increase your mileage by 25 to 50%.
In the middle of that range, with the average car getting 25 miles a gallon from a 20 gallon tank, that will get you an extra 175 miles. That's about a $21 saving every time you fill up.
At present oil prices a 50% mileage increase with a supplemental hydrogen gas generator could represent $30 a time.
The technology is not new, hundreds of drivers are already using it and it's becoming very available. You just need to decide whether you want to assemble the parts yourself or get a ready-made kit and have it installed by your mechanic.
Water for fuel seems to be one of these rare "people-power technologies". There are no big car company secrets standing between you and some significant fuel efficiency savings here.
How does it work?
It works through electrolysis.
Simply put, this means that the electrical current from your car's battery separates distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen. Your car's engine then adds the hydrogen that is constantly generated to your fuel mix.
Hydrogen is a much higher energy carrier than the gas in your car. The result of this combination is the greatly improved combustion process that has you grinning behind the wheel.
Hydrogen is a very clean fuel. True water fuel. No CO2 is produced in burning it.
And it's safe as you don't carry a tank full of the stuff, as a true hydrogen powered car like the FCX Clarity does. You only produce as much as your engine needs as you drive along.
To manufacture hydrogen so that it can be stored is normally very expensive. But not this way. All you use is a little distilled water.
Are there other benefits to using water for fuel?
Apart from saving you money and cleaner emissions you mean? Well, yes. This much improved combustion process means your car will noticeably have more power.
The life of your engine is also extended through reduced carbon build-up.
You will also do your little bit towards your country's fuel self-reliance. You probably do not realize that an Olympic size pool of oil is consumed world-wide every 15 minutes, and growing? It cannot last.
Lastly, here's a tip on maximizing even these savings of turning to water for fuel technology. Combine it with bio fuels or liquid petroleum gas and your hydrogen powered car will be your very own formidable gas-saving hybrid.

A Fuel Water Separator Could Increase Your Gas Mileage :New hybrid car Gas Mileage 2008-2009
A Fuel Water Separator Could Increase Your Gas Mileage
by Tony Newton
It's certainly not a new thing and has been going on for years but trying various fuel types in getting increasingly important in today's world. Hybrid cars, water cars, electric cars, all of them have benefits but sadly many of them have negatives too. And often the negatives outweigh the positives. Cost is the main reason why these types of cars haven't took off in popularity. Although they are friendly to the environment, they just aren't affordable to the everyday person. So what about a fuel water separator? How can they save you money?
Well what we are talking about here is using water as well as gas to run your car. Yes, you read that right, normal tap water that you use to wash yourself with everyday. It can be used as a fuel source to run your car. Now I know what your probably thinking at this moment, "There's no way water can run my car!" Am I right?
Well the truth is, water is used as part of the fuel source for the car, not the full source. Actually, the water isn't used at all. The fuel water separator removes the hydrogen from the water and uses that as the fuel source for the car. The water and the oxygen are simply discarded in the process. When this process occurs, it creates what is commonly known as Brown's Gas. This type of gas can burn and is what is used to create the fuel to use as power for your engine.
It might sound a little bit technical but it's actually quite an easy process and also easy to install on your car. Every car can be adapted to run on water. There will be no loss of power and it will run exactly the same way. The only difference will be the amount of money you will save by not filling your car up with as much gas. You can save up to 50% in many cases and what is more, you can claim back tax directly from the IRS because of the conversion you have made. So you really have many reasons to look into converting your own car as quickly as you can.
A fuel water separator is a very cheap and quick solution to reducing your gas bills and increasing your mileage. For more information, including reviews on the guides that show you exactly how to convert your own car, just visit our website below.

2008 Pontiac G8 GT - The First Test
2008 Pontiac G8 GT - The First Test
| The Specs | ||
| Stock | Tuned | |
| E.T.: | 13.63 | 13.16 |
| Mph: | 101.41 | 106.68 |
| 60-Ft: | 2.08 | 2.05 |

General Feature
Make no bones about it: GMHTP is hot for the new G8 GT. Gen IV horsepower, pushrod torque, and a good trans? Us GM lovers are used to that. But 361 ponies and a six-speed auto, installed in a solid and capable chassis and wrapped in sexy bodywork-with enough room to hold five adults-is definitely a new variation on Pontiac's "excitement" credo. I like it, I want it, I need to test it.
So when new Super Chevy editor Mike "Focaccia Bread" Ficacci wandered into my office to let me know that he was picking up a brand-new G8 GT, we immediately devised a plan of action: first, baseline drag testing at Raceway Park. Next, dyno testing. And finally, a tune and another track test-this time against a Mustang to make things interesting.

Celebrity Drive: Legendary Grateful Dead front-man Bob Weir jams in a hybrid Lexus, loves his '63 Stingray
Celebrity Drive: Legendary Grateful Dead front-man Bob Weir jams in a hybrid Lexus, loves his '63 Stingray
Quick Stats: Bob Weir, founding member of the Grateful Dead
Daily Driver: 2007 Lexus GS 450h (Bob's rating: 8 on a scale of 1 to 10)
Other car: 1963 Corvette Stingray roadster (rating: wants to be buried in it)
Favorite road trip: San Francisco streets with Beat legend Neal Cassady
Car he learned to drive in: A tractor
First new car bought: 1969 BMW 2002
Bob Weir may be the folksy vegetarian-Birkenstock-wearing founding member of the Grateful Dead, but he is all about new technology when it comes to transportation choices.
It seems a paradox for someone who is indelibly part of the ultimate jam band that helped define the Hippie movement. But it makes sense for Weir, whose concern for the environment has made him go hybrid with a 2007 Lexus GS 450h.
Because the hybrid doesn't come with a manual tranny, this is Weir's first automatic. It's somewhat surprising, since Weir lives on the slopes of Marin County's Mt. Tamalpais, where even a small errand involves a trek up and down the mountain.
"The drivetrain is such that you can't really put a shift in it -- it doesn't shift, it's a hybrid -- it's an electric motor, and the electric motors do what they do," Weir says of his car. "Their torque curve is immense. The torque is just there."
It took Weir a year to get used to the automatic. "I felt distracted all the time -- is there something I should be doing here? It rendered me a dangerous driver for about a year. I'd come to the point where you'd expect to have to shift and there was nothing to do."
Weir gives his car an 8 of 10 rating and not a perfect 10 because of the gas mileage it gets. "It handles very well, I've been driving Beemers for most of my life, and it's not far shy of that, it really isn't, but it doesn't get the gas mileage I was hoping for," he says.
Weir notes he gets about 20 mpg. "I live on a mountain, so the hybrids don't start really happening till the engine is warmed up. So I get up in the morning and I head out, and the engine isn't warmed up until the time I get down into town. That's a couple miles of downhill without the benefit of a warm engine. So it doesn't get the gas mileage going down the hill and coming up the hill. It's a big heavy car."
But the sound system in the luxury sedan gets high marks from this musician. "It's got all the creature comforts," Weir says, underscoring the word. "It's got a great sound system," he continues. "It's tomb-silent inside when you're driving, so if you're listening to music, you can get all the way into it."
Corvette Stingray Roadster
The car Weir absolutely loves doesn't get out of the garage much these days. "The car I'll probably be buried in is the '63 Corvette Stingray Roadster," Weir says dryly.
"I'm an environmentalist, which is why I don't drive my Corvette all that much. I wish I could, but my heart's not in it anymore, though I do expect to be buried in it. The funeral I imagine would be on a beach, with me in the car on a barge carrying a couple hundred gallon pounds of gasoline and a small case of dynamite and the barge sets out."
"And I want bare-breasted virgins firing flaming arrows at the barge," Weir chuckles. I play along -- you really want to blow up that beauty of a car? "Yeah, I want a fireball and that'll be that. But I have to rethink this because of environmental consequences. I don't want to kill a bunch of fish."
The old Stingray was showcased in an exhibit of rock stars' wheels at the Petersen Automotive Museum seven years ago. "There were all these cars that you can actually shave looking at yourself in one of them -- and then there was mine," Weir says.
"They perched it right at the entrance. When they picked up the car, I told them if they washed it I'd have their asses in court. Because that's not the way the car is supposed to look, as far as I'm concerned. It's a number of shades of primer gray on top of the old -- I don't know what color it used to be -- but it's dark and dusty, and I kind of like it like that. It was the only car that had a picture in all the articles. I love the car, it's a great car."
Weir bought his resplendent Stingray during his Grateful Dead days, paying $3500 for it at an auction in 1976. "I saw one with one headlight, punched out in several shades of primer gray, and I decided I needed a sturdy, dependable American-built second car. I started looking and I found this one. Then I had the engine and running gear balanced and blueprinted. It's fuel-injected, a rocket-powered slingshot."
But in view of Weir's environmental concerns, he won't take it out much. "It burns a whole lot of gas, and I've got to be conscious of that." But when he does take it out, his two daughters love it because it sounds like a tractor.
Weir has fond memories of times in the Stingray back during the Dead days. He used to drive to rehearsals in nearby San Rafael with his dog Otis (named after Otis Redding) in tow.
"I had a dog at the time, a Norwegian buhund -- he was a big, tan, fluffy German shepherd, and we had antagonistic relationship," he laughs. "I'd be driving and he'd be sitting shotgun, and we'd be in traffic and he'd bark at me. And we'd go back and forth nittering and nattering and a van full of stewardesses -- back in those days a lot of stewardesses lived in Marin County -- would be looking out the window down at us, looking at me and him going back and forth. We had a wonderful relationship, we were the best of buddies. He came to rehearsal and we'd mess with him."
Car he learned to drive in
Weir grew up in the Bay Area but left home early and wound up in Wyoming. "I learned to drive on a tractor on a ranch out in Wyoming," Weir says. "When I was 15 years old, I thought it would be a terribly romantic thing to do -- to run away and be a cowboy. I don't know how romantic it was, but I did it. The only honest work I've ever done was cowboying. Most of what I did was drive a tractor and rig hay for haying season."
It was easy to transfer his tractor driving skills to a car. "It had a clutch, it had a gearshift, it was gasoline-powered," Weir says. "Then I graduated from that to a Ford Bronco. I guess what you'd call an SUV now."
First car bought
A year later, Weir moved back to the Bay Area and started playing with the late Jerry Garcia. Their band would become the Grateful Dead. "We started off as a jug band, a full blues outfit, and over the next year and half we morphed into a rock 'n' roll band -- it was an acoustic folk-blues band," Weir says.
Living in San Francisco during the early years of the Dead, Weir didn't need a car. He was so busy with the band, he didn't get around to getting a driver's license until he was 20. His first car was a used Mercedes-Benz 220.
Weir converted to BMW after buying his first new car, a 1969 BMW 2002, right before the band's "Working Man's Dead" album came out.
"We started having some success, and I could afford a new car. I bought a 2002," Weir says. "It was a good car -- it handled well, it had pretty close to 50/50 weight distribution, and I had it sideways a lot, but that was the fun of it. It was just nice to have a really good car. I live in central Marin, and the roads going out there are all mountain roads; and it just chewed them up and spat them out."
He had the BMW 2002 for only a few years. "I was way on the road, and a friend of mine borrowed it and wrecked it, so that was the end of that one. He couldn't handle it. It was a hot car."
Best car ever bought
Weir later bought a 1974 BMW 2002tii, which he considers the best car he ever bought. "It was built light and strong and had fuel injection, which was a big plus back in the day. I didn't have room in my driveway -- I'm still kicking myself for not having hung onto that car. I sold it in the late 1980s. I had it for 14 years. It was a rocket-powered roller skate."
Worst car ever bought
Around 1990, Weir bought a Saab and, although he doesn't remember what model it was, he knows it wasn't for him. He had it for a year and a half.
"The worst car I ever bought was a Saab, and it wasn't a bad car," he says. "It was a good car, but it was front drive, and I don't know why I ever went there -- I'm used to compression braking and you do that in front drive and you're sideways right now. It was a solid car, well built, but I can't get with front drive. I went to Beemers right away."
Before his hybrid, racing around the hills of the Bay Area in a sports car with a manual tranny never bothered him. "I love it, I love to drive," Weir says. "It's a different day now -- you have to think about gas consumption and all that stuff. And now I have a couple small children and I have to take safety into consideration, which I never really did back then."
Favorite road trip
Weir doesn't know if he has a favorite road trip, but during the Dead days he often drove to Pinedale, Wyoming, where his songwriting partner, John Perry Barlow, lived. The two wrote together for the Dead during the 1970s and 1980s. "I learned that Nevada looks best in the rearview mirror," Weir says of the drive.
On the road (or streets of San Francisco) with Neal Cassady
One memorable trip of a different sort occurred during the halcyon days of San Francisco's psychedelic era in the 1960s. Weir recalls with fondness some time he spent in a car with Neal Cassady, an icon of the Beat generation.
Cassady was friends with fellow Beat legend Jack Kerouac, who wrote the seminal American novel, "On the Road." The book, in Kerouac's stream-of-consciousness style, was based on their travels, with Cassady as the wild driver Dean Moriarty. In the 1960s, Cassady also drove the bus for author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters.
Beyond being the tale of a great American road trip, "On the Road" has become a bible for countless artists, poets, and musicians, including Weir. Cassady inspired Weir to write two Dead songs -- "Cassidy" and "The Other One" with his lyrics, "There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never-ever land."
"Truman Capote says of Kerouac's writing, 'That's not writing, that's typing,' Weir laughs as he mimics Capote's high-pitched voice. "But it rang my bells. It inspired me to leave home for good -- to pursue music. Cassady was quite a figure in American history. Jack Kerouac became enamored of Neal Cassady and rightly so. I won't call him a saint, but he was something."
While "On the Road" had a profound effect on Weir, when he met the book's hero, he wasn't so much starstruck as he was intent on taking it all in. "I got over it pretty quick because every moment was new and fresh," Weir says. "I wasn't busy thinking this was a big deal; I was busy just in wonderment of what was happening."
The depiction of Weir's drives with Cassady sounds familiar to Kerouac fans -- like a page ripped right from the book. Cassady drove a maroon 1964 Oldsmobile F-85 with a V-8 named George, while Weir rode shotgun, careening through the streets of San Francisco. The car belonged to Sue Swanson, a high-school classmate of Weir's, who became the first Deadhead and worked on and off for the band for 30 years.
There was a superhuman quality about Cassady when it came to driving through crowded city streets that amazes Weir to this day. "He defined the term synchronicity -- he was at all places at all times and right here at the same time. I used to ride around the city with him in San Francisco, and he could drive through rush hour traffic at 55-60 miles an hour, never stopping for a red light, never stopping for a stop sign, the wrong side of the street, on the sidewalk, all that kind of stuff. Never hit anything. And he could see around corners."
Long before "multitasking" became vogue, Cassady was king of multitasking in the car. "And all the time he was driving, he had one hand on the wheel, one hand feeling up his girlfriend in the middle seat, and one hand playing the buttons on the radio," Weir says. "What he would bring on the radio -- it was a dialogue with what was going on in my inner voice, and he was aware of all that."
It raises the question of whether he learned a thing or two during those drives with Cassady. "Yeah, I learned something from him," he replies. "The radio had a dialogue with my inner voice. He'd punch the buttons and stuff would come out and it was coherent. Deep stuff."
Automakers going green
Out of concern for the environment, Weir is eager to support automakers' eco-friendly efforts. The new hydrogen-powered Honda FCX Clarity, which promises zero emissions, has caught his eye. It just became available for lease and is limited to 200 Southern California drivers for the first three years. "I want cars to be environmentally friendly, and I'm trying to do that. I guess Honda is already advertising its fuel-cell car. As soon as that rolls off the line, I'm going to get one."
Two wheels versus four wheels
After the death of Garcia, the Grateful Dead retired that name out of respect for their leader, and these days Weir leads his own band, Ratdog. While stars want to plug their latest commercial project, Weir brushes aside talk of the band and its summer tour. Instead, he wants to discuss another project he's passionate about.
In an effort to go greener than his Lexus, he offers up the utilitarian mode of bicycling for things like errands or work. "I would really love to see zero sum transportation," he says.
"There are a few human hybrid electric bicycles that I'm looking into," Weir explains. "That means you pedal and you also have a battery and a little dynamo, and when you go downhill, when you hit the brakes, it charges the battery. I can't remember the name of the hybrid bike, it's a $7500 bike that looks like I'm going to have to get it. I'm researching that right now. That's where I'm going."
Weir hopes fans will follow his lead. He already owns a road bike and mountain bike and will continue to ride off-road for fun, especially since the sport began in that area. While he does get recognized riding, Weir says, "There are no heroes in your own backyard."
But using his bike to run errands is another issue. "I live two miles up a hill. You know, I'm 60 years old, and I don't want getting home to be a horrendous huff for me. I do ride a bicycle and I do ride it up hill, but it's a lot of work. So I designate that as my workout, but I'd like to be able to just get around on one."
Weir, who reads car magazines such as Motor Trend and understands car enthusiasts' need for that Sunday drive, hopes they become more conscious of their environmental impact. His sister-in-law is Lelani Munter, a racer in the Indy Pro Series. "She's an environmentalist, as well," he says. "She's trying to get car racing to go green."
A couple times, Weir almost bought a BMW motorcycle, but it was almost as if some greater force kept him away from that purchase, nudging him to stick with cars and bicycles.
"I'm the kind of guy who shouldn't have a motorcycle," he says. "I've always wanted one. I have a good friend in Colorado who's an emergency room doctor. He ran an ER in Denver for 20 years. I'd get a royalty check that would come to my home rather than my office -- this happened on a couple of occasions and I'm looking at a check and I'm thinking, 'Okay, I'm just going to take this check down to the BMW place.' I'm on my way out the door -- this happened twice -- the phone rings and it's my friend, Charlie."
"He's just calling to catch up. At the end of the chat he'll say, 'Now you haven't been thinking of getting a motorcycle again have ya?' And then I'd have to tell him, 'I was just on my way out the door,'" Weir says, chuckling throughout the story. "He says, 'Here in the ER, we call them donor cycles.' 80 to 90 percent of the worst stuff he sees in the emergency room is motorcycle-related. And that'll cool my jets for a while. He's saved my life on numerous occasions with just a quick phone call."
As I thank him for this rather lengthy car chat, Weir replies in his folksy manner, "Well, you know, I've got some stories to tell."
1999 Daewoo Lanos SX - Howler From Down Under
There are crazy kooks running amuck in Australia, no doubt about it. Our first and only clue: this supercharged '99 Daewoo Lanos. It was built from the ground up (including the custom supercharger and interior) by our lager-swilling cohorts from Fast Fours and Rotaries with the sole intention of giving it away. First of all, why even try? And second of all, why even try? That would never fly over here. No way, man, not in a long shot. All that work just to be thrown at some lazy-ass rat-faced bastard for doing nothing? Screw that.
Let's tackle the first obstacle. It's a Daewoo. C'mon, I mean, even the lowly Kia owners tease the Daewoo guys at the lights. And even if you wanted to own a Daewoo in the States, there's the problem of actually locating a dealership, or at least one that's still in business. Are the cars really that pathetic? Well at 105 hp, a 0-62 time of 10.36 and a quarter of 17.71 at 79 mph (all numbers from the blokes at Fast Fours), you be the judge (and you don't have to be a good 'un).
The madness all started in February of 1999. It was called Project Howler for reasons we'd rather not discuss at this moment. Fast Fours toiled over 8 months-from sketch to completion-to construct the beast. The total retail cost of the buildup is $56,382 (Aussie), which is equivalent to a little more than five bucks (Hey, I've got that in my pocket! Oh, wait, no I don't.-JW). Ever wonder where to start off with a project car? Here ya go. Fast Fours was good enough to walk us through the entire process.
The first step was taking care of the wheels, tires, and suspension. Eighteens and 215/35s proved too big due to offset and space, so the mag went with 17x7.5 MOMO Racers and 215/40R17 Dunlop W-10s.K-Mac designed 2-inch lowering springs just for the car, and Koni was called upon for its Yellow Sport adjustables. Even at this point, the Daewoo was starting to look like a different car altogether. Not quite the Howler yet, but definitely scratching its voice.
The interior was next. And Fast Fours shot for the moon. The Recaro seats were restitched in red and black, and the back bench was retrimmed in the same scheme to match, then padded for comfort. MOMO shift knob, steering wheel, and pedals add styling and driveability to the car. And the dash was painted red to complete the cabin. Well, almost
How complete can a cabin be without the proper sound tuning? We're talking stereos, mate. And Fast Fours wasn't fooling around. The mag went straight to Sony for the company's latest Xplod gear. There was room for a double-DIN-sized unit, so in went a Sony CD/tuner and tape player, complete with DSP, EQ, and SA. The whole stereo setup took three long weeks to finish. Custom door pods were crafted for the 6-inch two-ways, and a false floor was placed in the trunk for the 10-CD changer and subwoofer box. Car Sound and Image gets credit for the work. But only call them if you're in Australia or don't mind spending boatloads in freight.
Fast Fours saved the toughest part for last: the engine. At first, the magazine wanted to keep things simple-you know, intake, exhaust, a little head porting, and some cammies. But then the supercharger offer came along, and everything went out the window. It took three more weeks before the blower was fitted onto the engine. The main change was moving the air-intake box from the left side of the engine to the right. The battery was removed, and now that's where the airbox resides, and the water injection system is where the airbox used to sit. The switcheroo works because the battery was swapped out for an Odyssey, which is half the size of a normal battery.
The chip was retouched for more torque and a slightly higher rev range. After some added nip and tuck with the engine (a Hi-Tech header and exhaust), horsepower numbers jumped all the way up to 177. Zero to 62 is now at 7.29 seconds, max speed at 130 mph, and a quarter-mile of 15.29 at 91 mph (again, all test numbers courtesy of the true believers at Fast Fours).
With the important things finally out of the way, the magazine set its sights on beauty. Modeled after the Corolla World Rally Championships car, GS Motor Bodies created custom Mugen-style sideskirts and front and rear bumpers, which are plays off the original factory molds. Graphics added the finishing touch, and the car was all set for the giveaway. We don't know who won yet, but we're still hoping Fast Fours decided to keep this one for itself.
