SPARE PARTS

Tidbits of information and humorous notes are offered in these pages. One note suggests another name for gasohol, namely, super unleaded with ethanol. Another note describes a super "swanky" car wash in Brooklyn, New York. A "hallucinogen inhibitor computer" has been developed in Japan which can keep cars from operating if the driver is drunk; the device reacts to a whiff of alcohol in the drivers breath by cutting off the ignition and telling the driver to take a breath test. Police in Graville, Michigan say that some beer drinkers are wrapping their beer cans in phony plastic labels to make them look like soft drinks. Other similar snippets are noted.
