As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, “Herman, I just heard on the news that there’s a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!”
“Heck,” said Herman, “It’s not just one car. It’s hundreds of them!”

What’s the connection between the automotive industry, the Obama administration and Congress
A Guide to Tracking Auto Influence
After forcing the chief executive of General Motors, G. Richard Wagoner Jr., to step down this week, the Obama administration has outlined stricter terms for the auto companies receiving federal aid. The connection between the automotive industry, the administration and Congress is more than just a shared interest in putting the economy on the track to recovery, however.

Info On The Similarities Between Biological And F1 Automotive Design?

May 14th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Auto News Articles

I’ve already asked a similar question, but the exact information I seek is extremely elusive.
I’m trying to find out if Formula 1 racecar designs were inspired by biological designs. See, I cannot help but notice the striking similarities between the design of an F1 racer and that of some of the fastest swimming fishes – the shark, to be precise (most prominently the hammerhead).
I did find a very good Mercedes design site that talks about the boxfish design – but F1 still eludes me.http://news.mongabay.com/2005/0710-Daiml…
Thanks.
P.s. I’ve decided to post this in the zoology section, so do bear with my design obsession!
