  1. Are you still thinking about trlvnaieg the country in your RV? These are both fun contests thanks for sharing them![] Reply:November 9th, 2010 at 8:43 amYes the plan is to leave in May. Time seems to suddenly be moving very fast! LOL[]

  2. I guess you will be toast if your in a Smart Car and an Expedition, Escalade or Hummer hits you head on, doing 50mph. I guess a Smart car is too short to T-bone also (its about as long as other vehicles are wide) wodenr what you would call that???:-) Either way, physics is physics, a small vehicle being hit by a big one is ugly and the passengers (and driver) of the smaller vehicle will be more likely to be injured than passengers of a larger vehicle.

  3. But how many discharge/recharge cycles is it good for?
