LA Johnson Remembered. →
I will always remember you, Larry, that’s for sure. You were kind to me. You were kind, caring, enthusiastic, fun. Patient! (You never complained when I asked you to film my best side.) Most of all, Larry, you were my friend. See you down the road, my dear friend,
love, LV

From My Team, Today, In The LincVolt Gazette:
WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST
There is still a lot to overcome if electric cars are to become part of the clean future we need. We’re up against a lot…. the entire middle-east, the U.S. Government, all 50 State governments, the entire auto industry, the oil industry…..
Today there are 162,000 gas stations in the U.S. The states take in...
But … In spite of What We Are Up Against, I will
Because I just put my head down, face into the storm and go. Like the buffalo. Just like the buffalo.

Yikes. Blue Will be green, but it won’t be pretty.

For Those Of Us Working For A New World, a poem by...
The dead are the only people
to have permanent dwellings.
We, nomads of Revolution
Wander over the desolation of many generations
And are reborn on each other’s lips
To ride wild mares over unfathomable canyons
Heralding dawns, dreams and sweet desire.

Dearest Blog,
Well, the Bad Fog of Loneliness rolled in here with absolutely no warning at all, and right before it got all foggy in here I happened to catch my reflection in a car passing through and Oh Dear! It just about put me over the edge.
This protective plastic on my top just does not flatter me at all! Why didn’t anyone tell me? It’s quite unbecoming! I feel like I am...

The Road Ahead for Drivers: Will Americans learn to love small cars? Signs point to yes, although “love” may be too strong a word; better to say “accept” or “appreciate” ~ Joseph B. White, in today’s Wall Street Journal
Don’t give up on love, America. You know you want me.

– Albert Camus. (1913-1960)
WatchCamus died in a car crash in a car just like this one 50 years ago today. Ah well. Dear Facel Vega, We’ll have to file you under Good Lookin’ House, Nobody Home. Or uh, Good Lookin’ Car, Nothing Under The Hood.
Some cars are pretty. Some cars are smart. Some cars are both.

Return of The Automobile As A Sexual Object
Bono wants to see it happen in the next decade. From his recent Op-Ed in the NYT:
Return of the Automobile as a Sexual Object
How is it that the country that made us all fall in love with the automobile has failed, with only a few exceptions, to produce a single family sedan with the style and humor and grace of the cars produced in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s? Put aside the question of whether...
