QuoteAllGold You can tell the ones hit by a semi at speed. They are little more than a bloodstain on the highway. But passenger cars usually don't obliterate them like that.

Rolled up on that car at the next toll station...squashed-in front end, huge puddle of fluid underneath. Hope the conseq

Quotebfd Toyota (Murai) and Honda (Clarity) piddled around with Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles for the past few years, but just getting hydrogen for them is non-trivial. And the main source is still fossil resources. So that's really no help at all. If they can move to a biomass/waste and further to technology that'll reliably split H2O, then the sources might be more reliable - until we run out of

IIRC, GEICO was never involved in the arbitration...only found out after the award when she filed notice of claim. So now there will be another legal proceeding to determine whether this is a covered claim. Even if it is found to be so, coverage limits will apply. I suspect a guy who knows he's STD positive yet runs around having unprotected sex probably only bought the state minimum cov
