Honda says they're happy they left F-1 because all those billions of yen saved have been spent on environmental technologies! Ahhhh....breathe that fresh air!:)

But since I haven't been seeing their eco-friendly livery every race weekend, I've started to chop down trees and burn them for no reason, along with the occasional used tire bonfire.

Not much Honda does these days makes any sense to me.

Looks like they are spending their money on making green cars to me. And some pretty cool ones.

The FC Sport can be summed up like this: Imagine beating your best lap time while hearing nothing but the tires rubbing the tarmac and the quiet buzz of the high-torque electric motors. Picture a true no-holds-barred supercar with all the speed, handling and sleek looks of today's fastest sports cars, yet without the noise, heat, vibration and emissions of the internal-combustion engine.

A supercar for librarians! :yuck:

What's the point? :gomer:

OK, but have you ever been to one of those indoor electric go-kart tracks. You still have to pick a line, brake late, turn in, trail brake and hit the, umm,,,, power.

And while the silencing of the music of a Ferrari V12 may be the future and we may not like it, that is not Honda's fault. So at least they are looking at fast fuel cell cars rather than Prius'

All they need is a synchronous audio track tied to the engine on the sound system. :gomer:

I admit quiet race cars like Audi's R10 can be cool. Although, I imagine red light drags will be more interesting when the car on the right quacks like a duck and the one on the left sounds like a tie fighter.

Nothing aside from the odd stereotype and erotic fantasy...:gomer:

I know her! She used to work for us.

Actually, I supervise shelvers. For some it's sometimes hard for them to get their work done because of all the boys coming by to chat them up. I occasionally feel like a chaperon at the high school dance.

Really, heels, a nice suit and a real haircut...? :thumbup:

Where I went to school we didn't exactly have that same problem. The shelvers were mostly had the Salvation Army wardrobe and looked like they slept in the trunk of a car. Of course that was during the early 70's so that's what everyone looked like. :gomer:

Yeah, I'd have to second that. The work study students that reshelve the books around here do not look like her.

Unfortunately.

Even at Berkeley, Hippie haven that it is, the sorority girls, some of whom did that job (need more clothes money than daddy would provide, you know?), looked like that.
