Losing lottery tickets used to create HUMMER H3 Click the image above for more picsWith the rise in fuel prices in recent years, the HUMMER brand has been the poster child for gas-guzzling. For some, however, the rugged vehicles represent a dream come true. The husband-wife art duo of Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom wanted to make their own H3, and they used $35,000 in worthless lottery tickets to get the job done. The couple's work of art is called "Ghost of a Dream," and the idea behind the name is that people often dream of buying a new car when... Article added: 2008-03-31 04:36:45 Article Views Rating: 97
2009 HUMMER H2 and H2 SUT will be E85 compatible In Dallas, a businessman has spent half a million dollars to install nine pumps that dispense E85, E10, and biodiesel. The catch: the businessman is a HUMMER dealer, and the pumps are next to his dealership. The station is called Classic Clean Fuels, and it is intended to make a statement for next year's H2 and H2 SUT, which will be the first production models to be Flex-fuel capable. You won't need to drive a HUMMER to get E85 at the station. The pumps are open to the public, a first for a dealer-owned... Article added: 2008-03-31 04:36:45 Article Views Rating: 115
Buyers dropping more coin on the 2008 Chevy Malibu The 2008 Chevy Malibu has snatched up awards and media accolades, and JD Power data shows that customers are paying Chevy dealers handsomely to own one. The average transaction price of a Chevy Malibu is $22,358 -- $5,000 higher than the inherently uncool last-gen 'Bu. Twenty-one percent of buyers are also opting for the top-of-the-line LTZ vs. only 5% for the outgoing model. The news isn't all rosy, however, as most of these customers are trading in other GM products to get themselves into the North... Article added: 2008-03-31 04:36:45 Article Views Rating: 110

Company tests new retractable-stud snow tires AUGUSTA, Maine -- Studded tires work best on snowy and icy roads across the nation's snowbelt, but highway officials wince at the damage they cause when roads are dry. Promoters of a new type of winter tire believe they've solved the problem with some James Bond-style gadgetry. Q Tires feature retractable studs that emerge when the driver flicks a switch inside the car. When the snow and ice melt, all it takes is another flip of the switch -- and voila -- the studs hide back under the treads and the... Article added: 2008-03-31 04:36:44 Article Views Rating: 119
Exporting Axle jobs no fast fix Moving all of American Axle & Manufacturing Inc.'s production from four striking U.S. plants to sites outside the country -- one option posed by the company's CEO -- is easier said than done, at least in the short term, analysts say.
