work to be done is horrifying.



The Citroen car caption says "The 1955 Citroën DS; revolutionary visual design and technological innovation." while the image description (click on the picture) says "A 1975 Citroën D Super DS FD photographed by myself at Prins Bertil Memorial in Stockholm, Sweden." Use and be sexy

im bored I've been looking at the article quality metrics for project Automobile - and this article is an embarrasment. It's the most important article in the entire project - and it's been rated has "Top" priority in the overall Wikipedia importance ratings - yet it's only "B-grade". This is not good. I've done a bit of cleanup - but the amount of work to be done is horrifying.

It is driving me crazy.


What is the thing called in the interior of the car, above both the passenger and driver seats that usually has a mirror and helps block sunlight? I keep trying to remember the name of this thing but I do not have a car manual with me and I can't find the name anywhere on the Internet because car diagrams only showing the major parts. It is driving me crazy.

A sun visor Hmmmm - the link on this page points at sun visor- which is a redirect to visor - which is a disambig page - which says that the part of an automobile is called a sun visor - which is a link back to...

Quick! Someone write an article about sun visors!

High hopes for hydrogen


The quoted figure in the introduction "As of 2003, there were 570 million passenger cars worldwide" is hopelessly outdated. A more recent figure shows the dramatic increase in the number of trucks in use worldwide and its projection into the near future:

The number of automobiles worldwide, at 750 million in 2006, is expected to triple by 2050. Ref: Ogden, J (2006). High hopes for hydrogen. Scientific American, 295(3), 94-101.I would very much appreciate if this conservative estimate would be included in the article so readers get a feeling of the scope.

The numbers are increasing rapidly.

As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). (2) Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 260 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly.

Be first and enjoy your life

An automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. (1) However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.Your time matters! with us ensures that you can arrange your Chinese lessons to fit your schedule and best of all, wherever is most comfortable and convenient for you!
