2005 PT Cruiser Convertible

We're not sure if Americans like retro-styled new cars as much as they used to. But for those who do, check out the looks of the retro-styled, 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible. It's a gas!

The PT convertible comes with four usable seats, allowing passengers to enter and exit more easily than in many other convertibles.

New Rules for Truckers
The rules that tell truckers how many hours they can drive and how many they must rest changed this year. The new rules could mean safer roads, as rested truckers adapt 24-hour work-sleep schedules. And lives could be saved, as a result of fewer trucker-related accidents. [SAFER]
