As I was reviewing the news items on MSN this morning this articles title caught my eye. New York to L.A. on three fill ups. Affordable diesel powered import to get 150 mpg I had to click in and see what it was all about. Loremo: The ‘ Low Resistance Mobile’ . It’s a cute little car. Two seats in the front and has two rear facing children seats. The idea to get better mileage is less weight and drag. The doors are very different than our standard cars. It has two, one in front and one in back. You’ll really need to look at the photos in the article to truly appreciate them. These cars are going into production for sale in Europe in 2009 and are slated to get to us in 2010. At this point they are quoting the price for us to be in the neighborhood of $22k. This is something I’m going to be checking up on as I’ll be due for a new car some time in 2011. Anyone wanting to read the entire article here’s the link “Loremo: The ‘Low Resistance Mobile’

Weather — Wind, Rain, Snow take your pick

This weekend we’ve had it all.  We’ve all had the wind and rain and even the lowest areas got a dusting of snow this weekend.  Everyone was happy with the snow in the passes but it’s raining up there now    ;-((     Most of western Washington and Oregon has either a flood watch or they are already on a full flood warning.   Remember to be Very..Very.. careful going into an intersection that has standing water.  Some of them are reported as being 3 feet deep.   The flink to the traffic cam and pass report are listed on the right hand side of the page under Blog Roll.
