The "Loser Cruiser"??? Sad. Do people realize that if every high school kid would stop driving their car to school and take school bus transportation and parents would stop going out of their way to take their kids to school and let their kids ride the school bus that so much gas would be saved?? Not to say about pollution caused by all the extra vehicles on the road (and wrecks). Our local high schools parking lots are packed with every teen driver's car. The roads going to the schools are clogged every morning because parents are dropping off their kids or kids are driving their cars trying to get in the parking lots. IMO, it's gotten totally out of hand.

Our taxes in Virginia pay for these school buses to pick up these kids.

So many of the people on these boards complain about our environment, gas emissions, pollution, etc. How about letting your child ride the bus -- that would help! (that is, if your area has buses to bus your children).
