[Phono-L] Vehicle?

[Tom Jordan]

Did you all see the news tonight from California?  I Police vehicle had to
get in front of a Toyota and slow it to a stop as the driver called 911 as
his car was stuck at 90 MPH and he couldn't slow or stop it?  Fords are
looking really good to me these days.

HI ALL
For my two cents
i have a corvette and a avalanche
they are both great cars and great mileage on the vette
the avalanche is a great truck but the mileage is not 
seems all cars have some problems
i e the nissans and toyotas in the news lately too
its a mechanical device and like even phonographs can have some  problems
just my thoughts
zono

Hybrids  are not yet what they are cracked up to be.    I had an 2006  Lexus
Rx400h & its actual mileage, both in town & on the road, was  consistently 6
- 8 miles below its rated mileage.     I  don't think hybrid technology is
yet perfected.     One  should wait for the next generation hybrids with
more efficient batteries,  etc.
