George, Jane, and company would feel right at home in this personal electric vehicle (PEV) created by the little-known rising star, Myers Motors. The car itself looks like something Pixar might have dreamed up, but it certainly will catch some eyes. Shaped kind of like a nose, the No More Gas – affectionately called NmG – is designed solely for one person, and is perfect for zipping around town to do some errands in. A tiny trunk is perfect for a few shopping bags, but that’s about it. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Win-Tickets-10549.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Win-Tickets-10549.html Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:28:19 -0400 [CDATA[Win Tickets to Son Of Rambow! ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/Montreal/articles/Old-Montreal-Goes-Car-Free-for-the-Summer-10522.html http://www.martiniboys.com/Montreal/articles/Old-Montreal-Goes-Car-Free-for-the-Summer-10522.html Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:17:07 -0400 [CDATA[The French are renowned for taking it easy during the summer months; just try to find a Parisian in Paris in August.

Beginning on March 31st, the Toronto-based carrier will offer seven daily round-trip flights to Newark International Airport (close enough). Return flights begin at $190 while one-way flights start at $120, both before taxes and fees.
