Wards Auto reports that at the end of last year there were 1.32 billion vehicles driving around on the planet.

Imagine if all 1.32 billion were driving westward, at a high rate of speed, and then they all stepped on the brake pedal. The day would get longer, right?

That looks like an extra creepy version of Watkins.

A simple way to control emission is to eliminate all cars that have automatic transmissions.

What you did there. I see it.

A simple way to reduce emissions and fuel consumption is to share a ride. I say simple, because it is simple math, or maths, as the Bri'ish would say.

You may say there is nothing simple about finding someone with a commute that is similar to yours and that is true, but if the rewards were much higher, i.e. if fuel costs increased significantly, you would be looking much harder to find your Kia Soul mate and there would be a new thrust on social networks to match commuters together.

eye fink eye'd rather drive my own tiny electric deathtrap econobox than have to share a ride with some random person (unless they are hot...and female...a hot female). color me old school.

BREAST SELLING VEHICLES AROUND THE WHIRLED
No doubt most of you are aware that the Ford F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the American market. And the Canadian market too, by the way. But do you know what the best selling vehicle in China is? It’s the Wuling Hongguang. No doubt you already know that Wuling is partly owned by General Motors. In Germany the best selling car is the Volkswagen Golf. In Japan, it’s the Toyota Aqua, better known in other markets as the Prius C. In Brazil the Chevrolet Onix, which is only sold in South America, tops the sales charts. In Indonesia, the Toyota Avanza, which was actually designed by Daihatsu, outsells everyone else. And in Egypt the Chevrolet TFR is the best selling vehicle in the country. In fact the little pickup is so popular it’s been nicknamed “El Dabbabah” which means “The Tank.” We got this information from a company in the UK called Aira, which is dedicated to helping people who are visually impaired. We don’t know why in the world it would create a graphic of the top selling vehicles in the world, but it sure is interesting to look at.
