This car rocks. I’m a big fan of this type of vehicle design where the drivetrain, rather than using one engine that transfers power to the four wheels, simply uses one power source at the core that transfers electrical power to an electric motor at EACH wheel.

A month ago, I bought a new Blackberry 7100. Because I renewed the contract for 3 years, Rogers gave me their renewal rate of $250 for the phone. This weekend I managed to submerge my cell phone in the ocean long enough for it to short out. I talked to my dealer and they could [...]
