OT I know, but to cut to the point, I personally think that ICE MUST DIE!!! (internal combustion engine) It's prolly got a few good rounds of engineering left, but come ON industry put a few million engineering hours into larger-scale batteries, huh?

Passenger trains, while not what they once were in North America, are still Worth Doing. ~ben PS - sorry folks, to get all emo & off-topic, and esp. about applying my twisted metaphors :) automobile != usb drive enclosure On Dec 15, 2007 12:45 PM, silver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know a few people whom loved their Volvo station wagons and took good care > of them.
