Nice link MrGray.

Let's hope that "Opportunity" & "Spirit" don't lose their solar panels.

Too bad we can't build cars that function this well.
Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges.

We can, but where's the money in it if they make cars that last?

I've worked on many cars and have wanted to give a good back-hand to some of the engineering teams. I guess the dealerships and mechanics of America need to eat too.

:D

I would just like to have a car where you don't need to be a contortionist to change the oil filter.
