THE CAR COACH REPORTS: WEEK IN REVIEW 8-24-12
THE CAR OF THE FUTURE EDITION

Announcing the car of the future!  Called the 2019 Insipid by Humdrum Motors, this 250 cc four-seater will run 0-60 in 29 seconds and achieve a blistering top speed of 63 mph! Weighing only 725 lbs, this sedan will get your juices flowing when a gust of wind blows you and your family clear off a bridge!
But wait, there’s more!  Even though the Insipid has a whopping 29 horsepower, it still manages to achieve 52 MPG thanks to President Obummer! 
Imagine driving down the street and passing your friends at the gas station who are filling up the cars they actually wanted!  Meanwhile, you’re laughing all the way home thinking about the all money you’re saving, or until you hit a pebble in the road and the car crumples.
So what are you waiting for?  Head down to your local Humdrum Motors dealer today where the 2019 Insipid could be yours for the low price of just $79,995. 

Sound ridiculous?  Perhaps not.  With the new CAFE regulations getting ready to take effect, our future cars will have to be lighter and less powerful.  I’ve been saying all along that this is a bad idea because lighter cars means less safe cars, and now House Republicans are saying it too: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/22/house-republicans-urge-white-house-to-delay-2017-2025-fuel-econo/
While I’m all for better fuel economy and less dependence on foreign oil, I will not stand for it if it affects our safety.  Furthermore, since car companies are going to have to develop new technologies to make these uber-efficient unsafe cars, the cost will be passed along to consumers.  In other words, we get to pay more for crap-can cars no one wants.  Oh gee, where do I sign up?
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Let the market bare it out.  If people want fuel-efficient cars, they’ll buy them.  Stop forcing your unrealistic green agenda down our throats, Mr. President.  Set standards that are achievable without compromising safety.  Make sure the consumer doesn’t get hit with the bill.  Who am I kidding?  Since when does the president care about Americans having to pay for absurd policies?
What are your thoughts?

My Final Thought:
Could this be real? http://gizmodo.com/5936580/they-finally-made-a-flying-star-wars-speeder-bike
A real hovering speeder bike like the ones in “Return of the Jedi”?  Where do I send my money?!!
If this is truly real and this technology can be replicated, then we’re looking at a paradigm shift in the motorcycle industry coming real soon.
Please let it be real!

Love your car!  See you next week!
