As always e-mail me (matt@rpmware.com), IM me or give me a call if you have ANY requests.
According to a recent press release, UPS is leading the shipping industry in ‘Green Technology’ by upgrading their fleet of trucks to Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicles (HHV) which will deliver better fuel economy and have environmental benefits (fewer emissions, reduced CO2, etc). According to UPS, HHVs store energy by compressing hydraulic fluid under pressure in a large chamber - I assume this is then used to power the vehicle in lieu of using gasoline.
What does this all mean? 50% Better Fuel Efficiency and 40% Reduction in Emissions. Does that mean you be seeing a 50% reduction in the ‘gas tax’ UPS tacks onto your bill each month? Eh, don’t be so sure. Although the invest is claimed to ‘pay for itself’ within 3 years, it’ll probably be a while before those savings trickle down to you.

Rumors are swirling that Turbo & High-Tech Performance Magazine is being taken off life support in the near future. It’s no surprise, as the size of the issues have contracted in the recent past and presumably readership as well.
I have to admit, losing Turbo does sadden me, as they were the first magazine that got me ‘into’ the sport compact scene. My earliest memory had to be back in 1998, and it was a cover story devoted to an Blue RX-7 put together by APEXi/XS. This has to be marked as the milestone which set forth my journey from enthusiast, to WD, to Manufacturer and ultimately to where I am now.
So for now, it’s so long. Thanks for paving the way and opening our eyes to all the possibilities that this has become.
