Truck Nuts For Or Against?
Recently an Op-ed appeared questioning why truck owners (see: mostly Men) put truck nuts on their rides. The writer went as far to say that truck nuts are simply “awful.” Do you agree?

Rhinotire Promises No More Flats
Seems like every few months we come across another new product intended to stop flat tires. This time it is Hungarian engineers who have perfected a product that they say will prevent flat tires AND boost fuel economy by 10 percent PLUS make those tires last 25-percent longer with less tire noise.
With a unique polymer layer, Rhinotire promises flats can largely be avoided plus you can get better MPGs and less road vibration.

Toyota is hoping its Prius Hybrid will help keep demand up and offset the expected losses from subsidies that are about to end.
