The Porsche victory is not surprising given it historically does well in quality surveys. Infiniti's jump is impressive and will help that brand continue on the resurgence it's enjoyed in the last couple of years.

Fire Trucks are Hot
2008-05-30 14:19:00 In the past couple of weeks, I have had several people ask me about my beaded antique fire truck, Engine Co. 6. They all asked the same question - how much is it? Currently, Engine Co. 6 is listed as 'Not for Sale' at the Dairy Barn Cultural Arts Center in Athens, Ohio. The reason for this is because it is very special to me. I created the 1943 replica Chevy fire engine in memory of a childhood friend who perished in a fire many years ago. I may decide to part with it in the future, but I just haven't decided on that yet. So for now, just for fun, I have decided to add the image to my CafePress shop for a LIMITED TIME ONLY.(Click to visit The Lone Beader's Boutique.)The fire truck image is available on postcards, a totebag, a coffee mug, a mousepad, and a magnet. This offer will run for the duration of the Bead International 2008 exhibit-through Sept 1, 2008 ONLY.

Ford Recalls 650,000 Trucks
2008-05-16 22:47:00 DETROIT (Reuters) — Ford Motor (F) is recalling more than 650,000 of its top-selling F-150 pickups as well as a Lincoln-branded truck because of a problem with the brake hose that could cause the vehicles to lose braking power.The automaker has recalled 2005 and 2006 model year Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT trucks, according to the recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on its website Wednesday.Ford trucks covered by the recall are equipped with 5.4-liter engines. The brake hose on those trucks can detach from an intake manifold, causing the driver to lose the “assist” function that provides additional power to the brakes, according to the safety notice.The trucks could still be stopped with remaining braking power but it would require drivers to apply “more force to the pedal,” Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said.He said Ford had received reports of 11 minor accidents but no injuries because of the brake hose defect.The sw...

UPS places largest ever order for fleet of green trucks
2008-05-15 03:31:00 UPS, a company which already has twenty-five hybrid diesel electric commercial vehicles in operation, is expanding its fleet of green vehicles by ordering an additional two-hundred hybrid electric vehicles and three-hundred compressed natural gas vehicles from Daimler's Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC). This order will more than double Daimler's active fleet of commercial hybrids, as the German company currently has over one-hundred-sixty in service. We wonder if the two-million miles of reliable service that FedEx was able to achieve from its hybrid trucks was enough to persuade UPS into making this large order. The FCCC truck is powered by a diesel engine along with an electric motor. While the forty percent improvement in fuel mileage from this setup likely makes the most important difference to UPS, we can also thank the vehicles for their ninety percent reduction in emissions. Therefore, UPS estimates a savings of 176,000 gallons of fuel annually along with 1.78...
