Is This For Real?
Runs in the Family: Police in Ohio observed a man drive a truck about 100 metres, stop, and walk back to a second truck. Then he would drive that truck about 100 metres beyond the first truck, stop, and walk back to the first truck. This went on for some time before police asked him what he was doing. According to the man, he did it because his brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, and he was trying to drive both trucks home, at more or less the same time. Not a big surprise, but a blood alcohol test showed he was impaired as well.

Multi-Industry Committee to Market Recycled Parts
by Orest Tkaczuk
 Ontario recyclers gained momentum for their initiatives with the creation of a multi-industry panel including collision repairers and insurers at the recent Ontario Auto Recycling Association (OARA) convention in Toronto. The committee was born from a panel discussion on "How to increase the use of recycled parts", a key event at the two-day conference bringing together more than 150 recyclers and suppliers. Sam Piercey, co-owner and manager of Budds' Collision Services in Oakville, struck the motion after members of the three sectors agreed that using recycled parts in the repair process was a means to improving profitability and productivity. Initial priorities of the ad hoc committee are to work together on collateral marketing material that will make it easier for repairers to "sell" their customers on the value of Green Parts.
