Blogging history? Autoblog giving away a $29,000 car
Autos – This is a bit of blogging history being made, me thinks. Can't remember a blog ever giving away a prize as expensive as a $29,000 car. Well, it's an SUV, the 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T to be exact. Still, kind of says something about how far blogs have come.

Gov't forgot to change Gas Guzzler tax - WHOOPS!
Autos – The EPA is still using the 1991 tax schedule and gas guzzler calculation method, despite the EPA's new formula for calculating fuel mileage that's more realistic and thus results in lower MPG ratings across the board. This means the same car that skirted the gas guzzler tax last year could be penalized in 2008, despite the face nothing's changed.

Toyota Prius can't pass Georgia's emissions test
Autos – Every Toyota Prius tested has failed the state of Georgia's emissions test because the vehicle is required to idle its engine during the test. The Toyota Prius shuts off its engine instead of idling, so the automated test instantly fails the hybrid car. This presumably affects any car with an engine stop function at idle.
