Honda has made it official. The long delayed CR-Z coupe with a more powerful version of the Insight drivetrain will ship sometime in 2011.

I plan to wait!

Last week, I got a notice from Honda informing me to take it to a dealer for an examination of seals on the real wheels. The anti-lock brake sensor seal o-rings could have been damaged, leading to moisture damage.

Got it to the shop Monday. There was no damage to either wheel sensor.

Anyone else here get the letter and/or had their ABS sensors examined? Anyone find any damaged o-rings?

I watched a news report this morning that opened a can of worms I had not expected.

It seems that in addition to raising the price of corn and corn related products due to demand for it as a source for producing ethanol, several studies dating back ten years show that using ethanol as an additive produces pollution including ozone.

Richard Perle gave a presentation in a one hour video stating his case for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

This video was aired this week on public TV and gave Mr. Perle full reign to present his case as he saw fit.

For those who actually saw the whole hour video, do you think that Richard Perle is a credible spokesperson for his views, and was his presentation fair and balanced?
