NY Times today has a whole section on cars. The front page of that section has an article called "Small Car Nation" which talks about the trand toward smaller cars. I am quoted in the article. The author chose not to print my grumblings about disappointments with Versa's fuel economy, though.

There's also an article about crash safety of smaller cars. It says Versa got 5 stars in side-impact test. Didn't know this.

Another article talks about social networking for car-heads. I was interviewed for that one also, but not quoted. I put in a plug for NICO with the author, but they only talked about CarSpace and another site.

Fun reading for car nuts.

Neat. I'll have to see if I can get a hold of that article somehow.Nice job trying for a NICO plug, even if it didn't work out.

I read it for free on NYTIMES.com. I think you just have to search for it. I googled my name on the site and it came up.
