When you act with hostility and aggression toward others,   they are likely to respond in a similar manner. When you shout at   someone, he is likely to shout back. The reverse holds true if you are   caring and cheerful toward others. 
  Therefore, for purely pragmatic reasons, we should be kind and friendly in dealing with others. 
  From the Torah perspective, however, this is not merely sound advice. It is an obligation. Even when you think you are minding your own business, people will come into your life and act aggressive. I was sitting in my car minding my own business, when a Pepsi truck came up behind me and blew his air horn three times to get me to move. I acted aggressively back to him and he wanted to have a road rage case with me, and offered to rearrange my face. I could have avoided the whole incident if I had followed the bible's commandment.

            Yesterday I sent a piece about high mileage cars available in Europe and not in the US. Today's second piece (below) is about a Chinese high mileage vehicle.             
              
                                                                                       
                    Hear is a piece about  another car. A lot of people are surprised that there IS a                      $70,000 Toyota....

  If you could go
 to                                   Shanghai for                                   a vacation,
 and buy                                   one
 of these cars for yourself,
 one                                   for your wife,
 and one for each of your                                   2  kids,
 have them shipped                                   to Canada
 and still                                   spend less money
 than if you bought a                                   new Ford Explorer
 in                                   Canada, would you do                                   it?
 
 Of  course our politicians still                                   get contributions from
 USA car                                   manufacturers, so getting the car(s) into                                   the USA or                                   Malaysia
 would be                                   an ordeal.
 
 This is not a                                   toy,
 not a concept car.
 It is a newly                                   developed
 single seat car
