Self-Parking Cars
Business Buzz Ford Motors has announced plans to develop self-parking cars by 2010. Do they not have a PR department or something to tell them “Hey, now is probably not the time to announce the stupidest car idea (that already exists) since the Pinto” ? Or is GMAC not on the phone yelling “You're gonna ruin this for all of us” ? Except not, because Congress will never stop throwing money at stupid, failing businesses. Capitalism!

The Ford Fiesta Econetic
Tech Buzz American car maker Ford Motor has finally created a fuel efficient car that will get a whopping 65 mpg. Oh just one thing…they’re only selling it in Europe. The main reason is because it runs on diesel fuel which is not a popular fuel source in the US. Ford is claiming they also can’t sell it in the states for “business reasons”. Hmm, the old “it’s not personal, it’s business” line. Look Ford, our cars may run on gasoline, but they don’t run on b.s.
