Taxing per mile (USA) and more smoking fines.

Well I've been trying to update with news as much as possible, but I've had a busy week working in Peterborough the last few days, I'm also guilty of being addicted to Call Of Duty 4 (C0D4) on my 360. World At War apparently is OK, but Modern Warfare 2 (COD6) is scheduled for release later this year, but there's plenty of people online to keeping playing MW1 with. I still haven't gotten Need For Speed Undercover yet, but I'm going to wait a bit later, for them to drop in price, to pick them up; I need to get the 360 version to play, and the PC version to add to my ever growing collection. I still haven't completed ProStreet either, which would make it the only NFS game I have yet to complete, so I should do that before I pick up Undercover, especially since I truely enjoy the police chases, but it's just so hard to put down COD4, and at the rate I'm going, I should be able to get to the 10th Prestige before MW2 comes out.

Me and a few friends are heading to the Auto Show tomorrow, hopefully that should be good to check out.

Also had the CDN-NTC meet Friday. Had a great turnout with easilly over 20 people show up, maybe even 30. Those guys are hilarious and nuts! We ate at the Edelweiss Sports Bar & Grill in Kitchener and the wings were pretty good, just could of used more sauce.

Jesse finally got the SRD reproduction crossmember and tie bar this week and they installed perfectly, so in the next few days I'll get the official thread posted to sell them on Mx-3.com. Colin is also looking at getting rear trailing arms done which I'll definitely get.

As for some car-related news, and I lost he article, but a man from Port Hope was charged with the law forbidding anyone from smoking in a vehicle with a passenger under 16. The female passenger was only 15 years old, and she was so upset over what she "caused" that she, the 15 year old girl, stepped out of the vehicle and lit up a cigarette. In Ontario, it's not illegal for anyone under 19 to smoke, it's just illegal to purchase them cigarettes, so she wasn't doing anything illegal, but that in itself is a twist of ironly.

Also, there's some talks in the US about taxing motorists for every mile that they drive. Obama said he won't be adopting the policy, but the fact that it was mentioned upsets and worries motorists around the country.

If you want to waste some time, you can play this fun flash game. You get to be Chrystler and drive a vehicle of your choosing, you pick up items to keep Chrystler afloat, hit a car, and you lose some cash.
