Christophe's Comments

Europe never had big engines indeed, besides exotic cars. Even the upscale side has been limited in numbers (Rolls Royce, Facel Vega, high scale bimmers...). Nobody can argue that the US cheap gas price has created a V8 / big size car loving country. Europe and the US don;t put the same meaning in 'familiy car' : one is a Camry, the other a Rabbit.

With $8 pg gas, America will see that you don't need a SUV as a daily 2 miles commuter / Stop-and-Shop grocery runner.
With $8 pg gas alternative fuels will be economically sustainable.

So yes, it hurts the wallet, but I think it's overall good : it's going to help us in our choices.
(I say that sadly, my favorite choice would be a big V8 20mpg Corvette)...

From what I remember, Randy Johnson seemed upset about it when he was interviewed...

From wiki:
In a freak accident on March 24, 2001, during the 7th inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Johnson threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. The unlucky bird swooped across the infield just as Johnson was releasing the ball. After being struck by the pitch, the bird landed amid a "sea of feathers." The official call was "no pitch".
