    Customer service and unintelligible accents, what do you do?

    5 Vehicles not for sale in the U.S.

    California has/had a law against new diesel cars being sold there. One on the reasons you don't see too many high efficiency diesels from other countries being imported. Many states follow California's lead. The Alfa-Romeo has been hard to get in the US for years. Even a moderate level Alfa...

    "Hellboy" visits leukemia patient in hospital.

    I had a chance to meet him briefly while working as airport security in Tucson, Arizona. Seemed like a really nice guy, chatted with some of the screeners on his way through. If I remember correctly he had a small dog that travels with him, Jack Russell terrier I think.
