Mayor Bloomberg recently proposed that NYC begin charging shoppers 6 cents for each plastic bag issued at the register. The purpose of the policy is an attempt to make New York City more green. Bloomberg’s plan would join a number of cities including Ireland and Melbourne that have already actively chosen to reduce the use of plastic bags. The proposal is different from recent measures in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where plastic bags are being banned for certain uses, such as grocery shopping.
Bloomberg’s proposal will most likely stir some controversy, so it will provide store owners an incentive for compliance by giving out one of every 6 cents to the store owners. City officials estimate that the fee could generate $16 million a year.

More details to come.
My condolences go out to the Stewart family.

I find this hard to believe but apparently there’s more than enough proof to believe it. A man named Ken Imhoff fell in love with the Lamborghini Countach while watching the film Cannonball Run. He loved the Lamborghini so much to the point where he felt the need to build his very own Lamborghini and decided to build it in his basement. It took Ken 10 years to complete the project and on his journey he faced tons of obstacles, for instance, getting the car out of the basement. Over at Jalopnik, you can find out more about his story and tons of pictures and video.
Guess how much money is all this gold worth?
