NYC and Cars

Hemmings Blog on the history of New York City and automobiles:
The pairing of the automobile and the narrow, teeming, crowded canyons of New York City is endlessly fascinating. The Standard Catalog lists 334 different manufacturers based in New York City (most of which, surely, built no more than one or two cars, if any), but beyond that, the Big Apple has a history of dealerships, driving, navigation, cab riding, and automotive legislation all its own.
As Just A Car Guy mentions, 334 is a lot of manufacturers.
I love New York.
Replacing the Combustion Chamber?

Popular Science: Shockwave-Generating Wave Discs Could Replace Internal Combustion Engines
Michigan researchers have built a prototype of a new auto motor that does away with pistons, crankshafts and valves, replacing the old internal combustion engine with a disc-shaped shock wave generator. It could slash the weight of hybrid cars and reduce auto emissions by 90 percent.
I'm not against replacing the combustion chamber, but you better damn well have an equally kick-ass name for this new component.
Shockwave-generating-disc ain't gonna cut it.
