    Bumbeck Makes the LA Times

    No, he didn't assault the construction crew next to his house. Our brother / buddy / pal / comrade / friend Mike Bumbeck is scribin' for the ever lovin' Times. We love it when one of our own finds success. But don't worry, he hasn't started making strawberry and $100 bill smoothies quite yet. Last time I saw Mike he was sucking the brake fluid out of an '85 Toyota pickup and next time I see him we'll be in Irwindale at the D1 Grand Prix drift event. Here's a piece on the Volvo Recharge he did for the LA Auto Show. Long story short, congratulations Uncle Bumbeck!

    Volvo ReCharge Plug-In Hybrid Concept Car

    It's called the ReCharge, a concept car from Volvo to be unveiled officially next week at the Frankfurt Auto Show, it's a plug-in hybrid with a battery-only range of 100 km before you need to have the car's four-cylinder 1.6-liter Flexfuel engine kick in to power the car and recharge the battery. The ReCharge is built off a specially designed Volvo C30, meaning it's got a platform that doesn't need to be built from scratch — boosting the possibility we could see something like it really hit the streets. The best news would be for the environment which would see "about 66% lower emissions of carbon dioxide compared with the best hybrid cars available on the market today." We can already hear the birds singing. Full press release after the jump. UPDATE: First video of the Volvo ReCharge just posted here.
