Ever since industrialisation hit us, there have been huge changes in the basic features of this planet. Massive use of resources for the insatiable appetite of the human population has led to the intense degradation of the earth and its balances. The problems which we see today are included in global warming. It is serious and needs to be tackled. Technology is a key factor in this degradation. It is also a good thing since technology has been used today to turn things around. Green technology has become very popular all over the world. Recycling and using bio degradable products which are less harmful to the environment are the catch words.

One of the major industries to implement this green technology is the automobile industry. It is a highly polluting industry and one which needed to get serious very quickly due to two reasons; one was that it was polluting the air with emissions; the other was that it was using precious non renewable fuel sources. The most successful form of green tech that has been used here is the hybrid motor. Hybrid motors are the most efficient forms of transportation after self propelled vehicles. They have become very popular and many main stream car manufacturers have products which use them. A hybrid car is basically a combination of two different types of drive trains. It involves the use of both the internal combustion engine and the hybrid electric battery.

The hybrid motor is essentially an electric motor which can get its power from either the normal engine or a hybrid electric battery. Some of the main components here include the engine, the fuel tank, the generator, the electric motor and the fuel cells or batteries. The hybrid car runs on both these forms of energy. This is because it is not always possible to run on electric power since the hybrid batteries require charging. Our current infrastructure does not provide for this at regular intervals. The fuel cells or the hybrid battery is made up of chemicals which can store the energy which is generated and transferred to it and put it out in an efficient and linear manner. This ensures that the efficiency of the car increases manifold and the emissions gone down drastically. The hybrid technology has come of age in the recent past decade.

The basic advantage of a hybrid is that is a very clean and economical car. Today, with the prices of fuels going sky high and the issue of global warming, such a car is a very attractive alternative. It saves on fuel a lot and it also gives the user the choice of switching from the conventional engine to the hybrid car motor. This makes it very cost effective, gives more for the gallon and reduces emissions tremendously making it a very green option. It has a very small carbon foot print as is popularly called making it safe for the environment in the long run.

Cars In Extinction

When we think of vehicles no longer made, maybe we reminisce about the old Woody station wagon or Willys Jeep. But of late, cars that are still in our driveway are becoming cars of yesterday, that is, they are either no longer being made or slated to being discontinued. Will these vehicles too become collectibles? What vehicles are they?

The first is the Saturn. Saturn Corporation began making their vehicles in 1985 as a subsidiary of General Motors when GM was hoping to keep up in competition with Japanese imports with the creation of the Saturn. Vehicle sales didn't quite do that for GM and they decided to focus on their four core brands Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. In 2009 GM was looking to sell their Saturn products to Penske Automotive. Penske backed out of the purchase and now all production has been halted and operations are expected to shut down by October 2010. Saturn isn't the only vehicle that lost focus for GM, sales slowed for their Pontiac, Hummer and Saab as well. But for now, we will be seeing the last of all the Saturn series this year.

What about the Oldsmobile? This brand of vehicle has been around forever and also a product of GM. The brand was started in 1897 by Ransom Olds and has sold over 35.2 million cars. Oldsmobile is considered the oldest surviving American automobile. Oldsmobile brand vehicles that have been phased out included the Bravada in 2002, Intrigue and Aurora V6 in 2002, Aurora V8 in 2003, Bravada SUV in 2004, Silhouette minivan in 2004 and Alero compact car in 2004.

The Plymouth has been around for some time as well. This vehicle was introduced to the market in 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation's first shot at providing a low-priced vehicle to its consumers in efforts to compete with Chevrolet and Ford. Plymouths were actually priced a little higher than the competition, but they offered standard features such as internal expanding hydraulic brakes that the competition did not provide. Plymouths were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships. Plymouth's logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship that landed at Plymouth Rock. The last new model sold under the Plymouth marquee was the second generation Neon for 2000-2001.

Plymouth's PT Cruiser was ultimately launched as a Chrysler, and the Prowler and Voyager were absorbed into that make as well. Following the 2001 model year, the Neon was sold only as a Dodge in the US, though it remained available as a Chrysler in Canadian and other markets. After discontinuing the Eagle brand in 1998, Chrysler was planning to expand the Plymouth line with a number of unique models before the corporation's merged with Daimler-Benz AG. With the expansion they created the Plymouth Prowler, a retro looking hot rod sports car. This was followed by the PT Cruiser. Both models had similar retro themed front-end styling. At the time of Daimler's takeover of Plymouth the company didn't have any unique models besides the Prowler. While all Plymouth dealers also sold the Chrysler line of cars, many Dodge dealers sold only Dodge; it would have caused much greater disturbance to the dealer network to discontinue Dodge than Plymouth. Consequently, DaimlerChrysler decided to drop the make after a limited run of 2001 models. This was announced on November 3, 1999.

There are many cars both America and Foreign no longer made that many folks may still have parked in their garages and miss. They include: BMW Riley, BMW Triump, BMW Wolseley, Chrysler Hudson, Chrysler Nash, Chrysler Eagle, Chrysler Willys -Overland, Chrysler Maxwell, De Soto, Fiat Innocenti, Fiat Lancia, Ford Lagonda, Ford Tickford, Ford Edsel, GM Asuna, GM Geo, GM Laselle, GM Passport, MG Rover Austin-Healer, MG Rover Austin, MG Rover, Morris, MG Rover Qvale, MG Rover Standard, Renault Alpine, Datsun, Nissan Prince, Talbot Hillman, Talbot Simca, Talbot Sunbeam, Talbot-Lao, Audi DKW, NSU Wanderer.

This list may not even been comprehensive but certainly it may make you recall a few brands you once owned.

Flat spots on my tires?

I just bought a 2005 Buick Lacrosse with 3600 miles on it. It was my next door neighbor's car (widow) who didn't drive it much! I recently had the wheels balanced and rotated, also had it aligned. However, there is a vibration at 72MPH and above. Tire dealer said because the car had "sat" so long ( 4 years/3300 miles) I might be experiencing tires with flat spots on them. Is that possible? Or did he do a poor job of balancing? Oh yes, the steering wheel doesn't shake the vibration is more in seat. Some people probably wouldn't noticed however, my wife's 2002 Chrysler Minivan is much quieter and smoother at those speeds. Finally, the tires are Goodyear Eagles orginal equipment tires.

With radial tires, like would be on that car, flat spots are possible. Only if the car had sat in one specific place for a long period of time though. I'm not sure of the exact circumstance and usually you will feel a flatspot at a much slower speed than when you describe feeling it. Since you arent feeling anything in the steering wheel, I would say that if you have anything wrong with your tires, you have a broken belt in a rear tire. Just what I was thinking.

Vail Valley Voices: Had enough of Obama yet?
United Nations: At Obama's nuclear summit in Washington, the discussion includes possible sanctions against Iran for allegedly developing nuclear weapons. The president hopes to protect us from terrorists who are set on obtaining weapons of mass destruction, a noble goal. The only effective sanction, however, that the United Nations can create is to control the flow of gasoline into Iran. The ...
