   Spongebob, my first two cars were Honda's. They may be cheap, but they got great gas mileage, and the only work they needed, was brakes and tires!! But, needless to say, I drive a Maxima now.... though sometimes, I still miss my Civic Hatchback!!

	Hondas are great cars. If you really want to be an environmentalist, buy a plain 4 cyl. Civic and drive it until it breaks down irreparably some 15-20 years from now. You will have maximized the ROI of building the vehicle. Cars which break down into junk after six years are bad for the environment no matter how special their gas mileage. People forget the whole picture of environmental impact when they get tied up in discussions of MPG. Manufacturing, delivery, repair and maintenance, and disposal all figure into the equation. (I loved our Civic. But I'm a Toyota guy now.)

	I am sorry to hear about your airbags. The exact same thing happened to me about a year ago at the old 610 lot. The only difference is that the stole my car seat as well. I did file a police report, the sherriff's office tried to take fingerprints but couldn't get a full print. They told me it was a professional job. My back "vent" window was broken out. Total costs of damage was about $1700.

	With the cost of a camera next to nothing, why not have an internet camera watching the lot, scanning about, and available for commuters to look at, AND THEN REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY? HELLO?

	Roadrunner; It is an INTERNET Camera, just like they have along 95. You, I, anyone can log in and look. I consider that there may be police being called when people THINK they see something wrong, but I believe that there willl be more benefits to be reaped when people ACTUALLY SEE something that is wrong.

	n the day I get my new vehicle with heated nozzles, I would gladly sit at my desk and stare at its unmoving image for hours. Sighing. You know, when I think about it, I already DO sit and stare at my screen, unblinking and vacuous, for hours. What would be different?

Imagine using a "redlight camera" of sorts to record the ins and outs. I have privacy issues with that, so maybe wack the tape at midnight or once a month? Imagine a lot where no one usually is, and you see movement. Call VDOT, they zoom the camera, JUST AS THEY CAN DO FOR THE TRAFFIC CAMERAS when a citizen calls them. I see it as public information.
