rounding off all numbers for brevity: 42 gallons of crude - 50% becomes gas =21 gallons gas.
60 bucks a barrel is 60 bucks for 21 gallons at 2.75 a gallon, well that means that the other 50% of that barrel isn't accounted for, or, 1/2 of every barrel becomes pure profit for the refinery company. That doesn't seem unreasonable... I think.

EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes busted 5 companies for colluding to rig prices of rubber ingredients used in tires, Shell was fined €160.9 million and Dow €64.6 million.

Those aren't oil leaks, my musclecar is just marking it's territory.

That isn't an oil leak, it's HORSEPOWER SWEAT!

And I was just told by Tris, that BFG has a TV commercial that has 30 seconds of a car spinning the tires, and the shrieking sound is all you hear, afterwards, the voice over comments "it isn't the tires screaming, its the asphalt!"

JB weld to the rescue! Again! Seals like a weld job. http://jbweld.net/products/uses.php

Much less expensive than a new 8 qt oil pan. (about 150 for another deep one that I'll just peel open, but Ray Barton Racing makes the only one to buy that's shallow, wide and lots of capacity... http://www.raybarton.com/oil.html ) $400 from Milodon , no picture. 21010
Wedge 1 Line Static Total: $395.38

I was reading something about ultra accurate mileage measuring, maybe that is what these do by counting the revolutions

MuscleCar Power. Here's a discussion thread that describes it well, but the link just deadends at godaddy.com, and doesn't show the car magazines website at all. hmmm.

http://www.mercurycougar.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5359

However, I bought one, unlike those discussing it, and here's what I've found that contradicts the thread, the issue is 4.99 plus tax, and has no credits in the header page about Tom Shaw or Greg Donohue... so what is going on? Whatever the deal is, it's a better magazine than Hot Rod or Car Craft, and has very, very, little advertising.

Heavily recommended

Here's the website of it's publisher, who appears to be just as slow at IT as Primedia, and doesn't yet list MuscleCar Power magazine as something they make or take subscriptions to... hmmm

These uncanny "trend" spotters are getting out of the ring, and pissing me off. I frickin loved my Motor Trend Classic every issue. Some fricking executives have decided for reasons unknown, that they couldn't keep that one title going.

THEY PRINT 135 TITLES!!! ( http://primedia.com/ )

So here's why I'm bent out of shape. I just renewed my subscription, and that doesn't just imply, it guarantees! that they knowingly had requested m,ore renewals of a soon to be cancelled title. ? They also published the November / December 2006 issue without a mention that it was the last.

I realized one was late (yesterday) and called just an hour ago to find out if I'd mistaken the renewal amount, or forgot to send it.. etc etc etc was it my mistake?

NO

They haven't even mass mailed out information about the cancellation, or what they intend to do with the money they hold in good faith that they are going to produce the issues YOU the subscriber have already paid for. MuscleCar Review pulled this stunt last year. I sent the check and subscription card in, they mailed a form letter in return, that referenced that they were returning my check.... but the envelope wasn't sealed on arriving in my post office box, and no check was returned, nor did the customer service dept come through with anything after having them on the phone.

Motor Trend's customer service was cool, but you have to go over all your info, like anyone is going to prank with anyone elses subscription.... wtf... and after confirming all the mailing address, phone # etc, we get to the fact that they'll apply the next 12 issues they owe me of MTClassic, to any other title (135) they produce. So the ladies were nice on the phone, heck, I feel sorry they have to deal with pissed off customers... that's all that gets me to call customer service of anywhere. Complaints. You are sure to find that the complaint department doesn't accept calls, emails, and so on, just letters in the mail.... ever hear of the dumpster? "Made of recycled materials"? Complaint letters, I'm sure.

So, these luddites eliminate a great magazine I've previously lauded here, in other postings, but you can still find that the website is active for Motor Trend Classic which is;
"About Motor Trend

No mention that MTC no longer exists

http://www.primedia.com/pr/

No mention that MTC no longer exists (in the press release page)

http://primedia.com/divisions/enthusiastmedia/mtclassic/ which states The editorial is approachable and involving except when they are not approachable about the demise of the magazine. Morphadites.

No mention that MTC no longer exists (on the Motor Trend Classic webpage of the Primedia website)

http://www.motortrend.com/classic/ nothing about how the magazine is kaput.
the Editor in chief Angus MacKenzie did a video on how cool the magazine WAS, and it is here, and the magazine was the best. WAS, the mooks killed it and haven't stepped up to say so in a single medium available, print, press, or video. http://www.motortrend.com/av/112_0508_classic_promo_video the git Angus says "subscribe at MotorTrendClassic.com so you don't MISS A SINGLE ISSUE!" HA! you putz, wanker, etc. And 'ya know he's familiar with the brit term "WANKER". putz (in the marvelous Walter Matthau line to Jack Lemmon in Grumpy Old Men "Putz!")

HE ends his promo with the line, "This is one fun ride (pause for dramatic effect) that you don't want to miss."

I'm throwing down the gauntlet to the whole crew from the former MTC, who've axed a damn good title. And given no notice. I've been a subscriber to Motor Trend, and about 5 other Primedia publications, maybe more than 5... and that one title was better by far, than Motor Trend. Lets see, Street Rodder, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Automobile
