"Carmakers are expected to absorb some of the rise in costs through cost-cutting efforts, but it will be difficult to absorb all the increases."

Gee, it'd be a shame if they couldn't put puters in cars anymore.

One left me high and dry 40 miles from home once -- car simply wouldn't start. Turning the key made no sound at all!

Cars need computers so they can track and control your movements.

My first vehicle was a stripped down 4x4 Chevy Blazer with straight six and three on the tree. It had lockout hubs. I went a lot of places with that truck. Ridge running in Arkansas and even out to New Mexico.

I can recall going thru Oklahoma when there were gas wars and regular was 19 cents a gallon.

I even used it to do newspaper relays for the local agency in Chicago.

It didn't get good gas mileage, but it was ok at the time. ;)

Well this is true, and we should be very flattered by it!
