Here's the deal with hybrids. You pay a few thousand dollars more than you would for the gasoline-only equivalent of that car and you get a few miles per gallon more. How long before those gas savings pay for the extra cost of the hybrid version?

(and not significantly higher priced) Mercury Milan Hybrid.
Huh? Full story here.

Sigh.
Have you read the current Memo From Michael? It'll be a while before NHTSA gets back to us on this one.

I mean, can you imagine if it had been a Toyota?
Big props to the 67 year old driver, too...who admitted that his "foot got caught on the gas pedal". Not sure how that happens, but at least he 'fessed up that it was his problem and not a phenomenon caused by floor mats, electronic gremlins or Satan.

Brutal tractor. Too bad Mugen doesn’t produce 30+ inched rims, they would suit perfectly :)
