Hello, my name is Chad Kirchner and in the before-times I was an automotive journalist. My work has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and online. I was, along with the rest of my team, laid off last year so I decided to (among other things) start a newsletter. www.kirchnerreport.com/subscribe

I love a lot of things about Australia. I resent having to pay for an appointment so I can pay for my car's registration.

So, it turns out Toyota and Honda have accidentally created a black market for hydrogen... www.theautopian.com/hydrogen-for...
