There's an App for Podcasting on a Crumbling Bridge

Car sales are next week, but we are excited because Ford is predicting a strong month for sales.

We talked about OnStar last week and we were split on how terrible their tracking of people's vehicles was. Well, GM listened. To someone, and the company said it will stop tracking vehicles where OnStar has been turned off, and allow drivers to opt-in, rather than opt-out.

Be happy about the economy.

Traffic is an indicator of economic success, according to a new study. So, you should feel comfortable about your job as you sit in traffic.

If you are sitting in traffic on a bridge, you should be worried about the U.S.'s crumbling infrastructure. A bridge linking Indiana and Kentucky has to be closed because is cracked. We're worried that many more bridges and roads are falling apart.

While the infrastructure is getting more dangerous, giant SUVs are getting safer, according to new data.

We have lamented the unpleasant experiences that many folks have at dealers and now a new Spike TV show will follow struggling dealer who need to turn things around in 5 days.

We're testing out a new Facebook app called Car Town. If you play, look us up. Here are some tips to get started.

Finally, the holiday shopping season is coming and a new toy let's kids drive on an iPad. Check out the video:

Hyundai's iPad Owners Manual One More Step Towards Luxury Brand?

David and I recently talked about Hyundai possibly creating a luxury brand under the name Genesis. Whether or not they actually create a separate brand, they are making themselves competitive in the luxury segment. Evidence of this is clear with the Hyundai Equus' new owners manual, a fully interactive app preloaded on a 16gb Apple iPad that comes with the car. The video (which I found while scrolling through engadget.com) is fairly impressive.



Not just text and corny diagrams in ebook format, but an actual app that looks pretty slick.


Im just wondering if Hyundai could at least release a Tucson owners manual even if they dont provide me with the tablet computer to read it on.
