The car had oil leaks.  The transmission had issues.  It couldn’t get past speeds of 40 mph. And this January, it’s being sold at the Barrett-Jackson Auctions with a possible selling price of $2 million. That’s right.  The Batmobile is up for bid.  And not just any Batmobile.  This was the same Batmobile that Adam…

When I heard that the television series Last Resort had been cancelled, I wasn’t surprised.  I usually watch the program on a tape-delayed basis, mostly on Time Warner Cable’s “On Demand” service.  It was a decent enough show, but I felt that the series – in which the crew of a nuclear-powered sub was framed…

And thankfully, I learned a lot about driving and car maintenance, years before I ever even owned a car or possessed a driver’s license.
