Autos: Do You Own You? 12:00 PM, September 1 Slavery - the idea that one man can own another man - was supposedly abolished by the 13th Amendment in 1865. But laws continue to be passed that, in effect, assert the ownership of the state over our persons. We're not picking cotton or being whipped - but we are being harassed, fined - and even jailed - for defying laws which, at their core, are based on the idea that the state has a claim over our hides.Consider seat belt laws that empower the police to pull you over and issue you a ticket for not being buckled-up. You haven't harmed anyone - or even threatened to. You might hurt yourself, it's true. But so will being 50 pounds overweight and (for now) no one's being pulled over...

The Backseat Driver's Companion

The Backseat Driver's Companion People who like to drive rarely enjoy being driven - and are often tempted to second-guess the driving of others when not behind the wheel themselves. Usually, it's not a good idea. Here's a Backseat Driver's Companion - a short list of Do's and Don'ts to follow when someone else is behind the wheel:Hold your tongueYou may not like the way someone else drives; maybe they don't notice the light's turned green as fast you might; maybe they're more hesitant than you might be pulling into traffic or merging. But unless there's an immediate danger you're pretty sure the driver hasn't noticed (a kid on a bike about to run across the road, for instance) proper etiquette...

How to Get a Good Deal on an Expensive Car

How to Get a Good Deal on an Expensive Car While the sticker price of a new luxury car is always going to be higher than the sticker price of an economy car, you may be able to negotiate a better deal on the luxury car. Reason? For one, there's less profit margin built into the price of an economy car - or even a mid-priced car, for that matter. If the MSRP sticker price is, say, $15,000 - the dealer's cost (what he paid the manufacturer for the vehicle) is probably not much lower than that figure. If he sells cars for less than he paid to acquire them, he probably won't be in business very long.Even with factory-to-dealer rebates - which compensate the dealer for a...

The Engine's Out Back, Chief! The 1960-'69 Chevy Corvair

The Engine's Out Back, Chief! The 1960-'69 Chevy Corvair Here's an irony of automotive history to ponder: Ralph Nader never actually drove a Corvair - the car he savaged as "unsafe at any speed." Too bad for him - and, of course, for Chevrolet - since he never got to appreciate the many virtues of the pugnacious but ultimately doomed little car his name will forever be associated with.Though I was born too late to enjoy these cars when they were new, I eventually acquired a '64 Monza coupe in the mid-1990s. I wasn't looking for one; it just happened to cross my path at the right time. The car's oddball layout and low price piqued my interest. Corvairs were (and still are) very affordable as far...
