Reclaim the Left Lane!
That's the chant you'll hear from the Left Lane Drivers of America, a grassroots effort that begs for slower moving traffic to get to the right side of the road. In order to help slower drivers get the point, the organization is now offering windshield decals that conspicuously read: MOVE OVER and show a large arrow pointing them (nicely) in the correct direction.

Bottom line: It's a matter of safety and security. You can pick up your own decal by visiting www.leftlanedrivers.org. ($29)

A Posh Ride in Tokyo
Uber-upscale car maker Rolls-Royce has just handed over the keys to two new Phantom Extended Wheelbase cars to The Peninsula Hotel Tokyo. The two new Phantoms join The Peninsula Hotels' fleet of 16 extended wheelbase Rolls-Royce, in addition to the largest single order ever--14 Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase vehicles that were delivered to The Peninsula Hong Kong in 2006.
