Live near a busy road, kill your lungs
"Traffic pollution can prevent the lungs of children who live near busy roads from developing properly, making them more likely to suffer respiratory and heart problems later in life, U.S. researchers said on Friday." (more)

You'll get the full force of Christ, don't think you won't. He was sheer weakness and humiliation when he was killed on the Cross, but oh, he's alive now--in the mighty power of God! We weren't much to look at, either, when we were humiliated among you, but when we deal with you this next time, we'll be alive in Christ, strengthened by God. Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups.
Hi, I'm a fellow blogger on *.blogspot.com. I'm also an auto mechanic who's been interested in working on or at least gaining a working knowlege of hybrids. It might be interesting to turn your attention to the nuts and bolts of these vehicles. The manufacturers haven't been that forthcoming with information to independent shops, which actually continues a trend that'd started about the time that powertrain management systems became more sophisticated (say, around early ninties or so). Considering the danger involved in working on certain areas of these vehicles, it would probably be a help to the general public to get the manufacturers to supply us with the much more information than they have been.
Other than that suggestion, Your blog's a good one, actually much better crafted than mine. (At theis point, I feel the need to engage in a little shameless self-promotion: www.themetalrectangle.blogspot.com )
Hang in there.

Hey Bob,
Interesting angle. Obviously, the garage side of dealerships is an important revenue driver for automakers, so I'm sure that's a piece of the puzzle.
Moreover, I'm sure that the fact the technology is so new is another piece of the puzzle. As it is new, Toyota, for example, would probably prefer that most hybrid problems are dealt with internally so that they can better monitor mechanical problems, software bugs, etc. as they build a real world knowledge base of hybrid vehicle issues.
I have, however, heard of courses for mechanics that focus on hybrid vehicles. So, maybe there's a course out there you could take?
Based on your experiences with new powertrains and manufacturers, it seems the mom & pop garage is facing a difficult future. As this technology advances, it will probably become more and more common that garages will have to start basing their business model off of the computer consulting industry where you will have to become a certified Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive partner, for example.
Good luck. Let me know of any interesting issues you encounter with your hybrid vehicle experiences!
......what is the most important thing?
"the most important thing" regarding pollution, hybrid vehicles?
forgive me if i'm missing the obvious, the flu is passing through my house
Hai...I had read ur blogs....Will hybrid car pollute
A hybrid will pollute a little, but its emissions are incredibly lower than a conventional vehicle.
