I am hosting a SURPRISE Whiteboard birthday party for our buddy Sneakers55. Please stop by and post a BD message on his WB. Thanks.

I like your avatar...thank you for the buddy add. Have a great rest of the week!!!

wanna be buds?

We've got a lot of engineers on here, along with a lot of retired engineers and a lot of widows of engineers!

>still out of the reach and flexibility needs of the average American< That's because most American's consider initial purchase price, not life-cycle cost. Hybrids (regular or plug-in) are just as flexible as conventional vehicles, in fact they're more flexible as they typically have longer run range.

Hi, you made a great post today on the news topic "Malloy energy plan pits natural gas against oil". We need to use more abundant, cheap and ultra clean North American natural gas to replace all oil based energy sources that we can. Warren :-)

Oh, I hope that the 2-liter, turbo diesel works out for you. Our Audi has a 2-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Fast, had it up to 140 mph once, don't tell my wife.

Thanks for becoming my newest buddy! We had a 96 Grand Cherokee with a big, gas sucking V-8. We traded it for an Audi sedan with a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine during the 2008 spike in gas prices. The Audi is fun and fast, but I miss being able to get into the great "outback" of our state. Will try for another 4 wheeler sometime soon. Good Luck, hope that you are having a great week. Warren :o)
