Well, here in VA we are experiencing another one of those "global warming" spells. Below 20 degrees and snowing again! Do you really think our gas guzzling race cars, muscle cars, and haulers are the culprit for these record breaking weather spells? Maybe if we fill our tires to the "proper air pressure" going down the track, we will save the planet!

Scamp, I'm still waiting for that global warming thing to start! Right now it's only 7 degrees outside and windy.

p.s. I just love pulling along the side of one those hybrid cars and dropping a gear letting them get a sniff of my race fuel!oh and the sound of a big block wide open.

I just watch TV because everything that is aired MUST be true right? I have lived here for 15 years and I don't remember it ever being this cold for this long, it is crazy.

same here, we have had the coldest winter in our history. not sure what the cause of global warming is but I do think it's real. it's not only about the heat but extreme conditions. look around.

I was born and raised in NY, not upstate, but the Southern Tier/Susquehanna region. I went to school in central NY near Syracuse, so I understand what you are going through! I bought a hybrid about a month ago simply for the fact that I needed another car, and I am saving about $75 a week in gas money that does not ultimately end up in the hands of people that hate me. I can ride the high occupancy vehicle lanes all by myself, whereas I could not in my truck unless I had at least 1 other passenger. Traffic in Northern VA is among the worst in the country and I commute 33 miles each way. The way I see it, the money I save in gas, I can blow on the racecar! I am converting to E85 for the racecar the next go round for the same obvious reasons many others are.

I agree, traffic in your area sucks! How come you can use the HOV lane with 1 person? Because of the hybrid?

Weather is changing...but humans aren't a factor in my opinion.

Yes. The HOV lanes are meant to reduce the number of cars on the road by encouraging ride sharing. At fiirst I thought it was to prevent traffic congestion and improve driving time, but the sole purpose from the beginning was to get more people into fewer cars to reduce pollution/emissions. If you have plates that are registered before July 2006 you can ride HOV-3; anything registered after that date you are limited to HOV-2. When the law was being passed with the hybrids, everyone south of DC down the I-95 corridor went out and bought hybrids which quickly clogged the HOV-3 lanes with individual drivers!

Actually motorcycles are exempt from the HOV restrictions in the DC metro area, but get this: A guy in my office has a 2005 Prius and a Harley full dresser (Road King, Heritage or one of this big boys), and his Prius uses much less gas than the HOG, and by a significant amount! I have even seen those bikes with the V8's in them cruising down the road.

send some of your snow down here. i've go a sweatline coming off the end of my hairline down to my butt crack, i need a towel on the vinyl chair i sit at the computer to soak it up otherwise i leave a wet spot.
today we have high humidity due to a fine drizzle thats so fine it wouldn't get a postage stamp wet enough to stick but does make my shorts feel uncomfortable.

yep I think thats him. Chris Bletsas he owns Amelia collision.I saw his bike and he has a sweet bodyshop.Very new and clean. He has some old cars too but I think not Mopar.We are up to about 10 inches of snow here today,maybe some snowmobile land speed stuff would be good?
