I visited the Atlanta Journal-Constitution auto show today. Lots of interesting cars. I also found out that Nissan is coming out with the convertible version of the 350Z this summer.

Which Political Stereotype Are You?

Democrat – You believe that there should be a free market which is reigned in by a modest state beaurocracy. You think that capitalism has some good things, but that those it helps should be obliged to help out their fellow man a little. Your historical role model is Franklin Roosevelt. Which political sterotype are… Continue reading Which Political Stereotype Are You?
