Movie star and NASCAR racer Paul Newman stars in Disney’s newest Pixar offering Cars. Newman is the voice of Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past. When Owen Wilson’s Lightning McQueen is detoured to the town of Radiator Springs on his way to California to compete in the Piston Cup Championship, Doc Hudson shows him the true meaning of being a winner. Newman says he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to showcase his passion for cars. “Would I be interested in doing an animated cartoon about a race film in which I played a 1951 Hudson Hornet. I said the combination is irresistible. The character which is the vocal aspect of it came very quickly. He was Southern, he was old. He…
This is the eighth in a series of sad songs I’ve compiled, and it is accompanied by a video I’ve made featuring the “Chasing Cars” lyrics and pictures of Snow Patrol.

Lyrics:
We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see
I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Here’s the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence
Just run with me through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck
There, there, baby
It’s just a textbook stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up…
Now, now, darling
Oh don’t lose your head
‘Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie
Never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years
You can’t keep on like this
Now’s a bad a time as any
There, there, baby
It’s just a textbook stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up…
Now, now, darling
Oh don’t kill yourself
‘Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Yeah, yeah, wow
It’s ok by me
It’s ok by me
It’s ok by me
It was a long time ago
It’s ok by me
It’s ok by me
It’s ok by me
It was a long time ago
There, there, baby
It’s just a textbook stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up…
Now, now, darling
Oh don’t lose your head
‘Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
There, there, baby
It’s just a textbook stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up…
Now, now, darling
Oh don’t kill yourself
‘Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Michael Keaton is Chick Hicks in Cars, a racing veteran who has cheated his way into second place more than any other car in Radiator Springs. Michael who grew up in Pennsylvania and spends most of his time at his California ranch says he could see himself living in the cartoon town.
“But truthfully what you really fall in love with, well I personally want to live in Radiator Springs. I’d be quite happy just settling down in Radiator Springs. I just love it there. It’s so great. That’s the heart of the picture I think people will discover is the town and that whole story line.”
ANCHOR:
World leaders are gathered in Japan this week for the G8 summit, and climate change is on the agenda. It’s the perfect opportunity for Japanese auto-makers to show off their new eco-friendly cars. Here’s more:
STORY:
G8 leaders in Japan aim for a green summit, and Japanese automakers are providing the wheels.
At the eco-friendly event, a fleet of electric plug-ins, hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell cars await.
Commercial sales of some, like Mitsubishi’s pure electric MiEV, are less than a year away – with prices from $20,000 and plug-in charge prices as low as 1/9th the cost of gas.
[Kazunori Handa, Mitsubishi Motors]:
“The car’s popularity will centre on using no gas, the CO2 emission problem and concerns about energy security.”
Among prototypes, Mazda’s gas-fuel cell RX8 is leased for about $4,000 a month.
Hydrogen hybrids and fuel cell cars are seen as a longer-term answer due to expense, taking time to find local driveways, says Mazda’s Tomoaki Saito.
Some 200 Honda FCX Clarity cars will be leased in the U.S., but the water emitting sedans have a mere 60 hydrogen stations, compared with 180,000 gas stands.
We’re going on a very short 5km trip, but if we wanted to we could go as far as 620km right now on a single gas tank fill up and the cost of that would be equivalent to 4 to 5 gallons of gas in the U.S.
At the G8 summit amid record energy prices, that makes all eco-cars an easy sell.
