Given how busy we are at work, with an upcoming crescendo this weekend, it’s hard not to go into YouTube only mode.
Consider this my form of escape right now …
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 50th
Posted by barista in Vroom vroom on 09/22/2009
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety celebrated its 50th anniversary by crash testing a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air into a 2009 Chevy Malibu.
Handpresso Wild
It’s capable of generating 16 bar of pressure with a handpump. Put some hot water in the reservoir, place an E.S.E. Espresso pod in the chamber and release the switch. The pressure chamber forces the hot water through the coffee, creating a perfect little demitasse of rich black goodness.
Props to Spachi for the info and ThinkGeek for the product.

So I noticed this little website : http://www.thebestcarwins.com/
They even had an add pop-up here on the blog. Hmm, take the test, I’m curious what the overall results are going to be.
Car Sales in August
Posted by barista in Interweeb!, Vroom vroom on 09/02/2009
The trio of brands that has continually outpaced the rest of the industry this year – Subaru (up 51.51 percent), Kia (up 60.38 percent) and Hyundai (up 47.01 percent) – continued their winning ways and then some, each reporting all-time sales records last month thanks to a boost from the C4C program. To put their success in perspective, Hyundai and Kia together outsold Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler and Subaru outsold rivals Mazda and Volkswagen.
Kudos to Hyundai-Kia for blazing up the charts as a powerhouse, and to the tiny Subaru just showing how much a good design and technology matters. Props to AutoBlog for tracking this information monthly.
