This Just In: New on the Net

Sorry there was no New on the Net yesterday. Monday was my birthday, and I was nursing a wicked hangover. But its ok Maker’s Mark, I still love you. Anyway, here’s the news:

• Lots of folks forget how important it is to keep tires properly inflated, and if this trick rubber catches on, they might never have to remember to check them. Auto Express
• While the strike at American Axle has already closed several of the GM’s plants, so far, new Chevy Malibu production hasn’t been affected. But unless a resolution is reached pronto, it will be, and since that’s the best-selling car the General has right now, don’t be surprised if it starts issuing orders. Automotive News
• After a video of FIA honcho Max Mosley participating in a Nazi-themed, sadomasochistic orgy surfaced, people immediately began calling for his resignation. But Mosley is defiant, and has so far refused to do so. Now, he’s denying the Nazi angle. Auto Week
• Think you’re lucky? Well, probably not as lucky as this dude. He walked away after his car was hit by a train. Tampa Bay Online
