The-3-000-Mile-Oil-Change-Myth- Yahoo! Autos Article Page

According to a recent study by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, 73 percent of California drivers change their oil more frequently than required.

A submarine roadster?

The sQuba is an all-electric vehicle with three motors, one to drive the car on land and two to power a pair of screw drives for underwater movement. These are aided by two Seabob jet drives that “breathe” through rotating louvers mounted on the car’s fenders and appear to give the car its maneuverability underwater. See it to believe it.

I don’t know about you but I’ve been trying to find a practical solution as to how to get to my secret underwater compound by myself.Renting a boat and just leaving it floating there while I dived to get into my compound just didn’t…
