Notes From the Past Few Days


It’s been a fairly slow week, in my opinion, for car news  but here’s a few tidbits going around the www.  
Ford and Toyota to develop a RWD truck powertrain.  Trucks are bad ass but use too much gas.  Thumbs up to hopefully making something that sips fuel and can pull weight.  I always think it odd when huge companies collaborate on things like this.  It happens all the time, but seems odd given the high level of competition in the auto marketplace.  
John Deere reports third quarter earnings of 712 million.  This has to be a good thing right?  The earnings report projects a 45 percent increase in construction equipment sales through the year.  I’ll assume that this means there’s an increase in construction and development.  The economy can come out of the shithouse at any time, plus growing food is alright by me.  
This commercial for the Hyundai Veloster was banned in Holland.  I think its funny.
